This is really neat. I never knew this could be done with acetone. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@Narbyful]

That's wonderful! I love it. Thanks for pointing me in a new direction with my paper art/journaling.

[@elainebates6967]

Wow! I was in awe of the magic of doing something so amazing to change a simple image into awesome picture. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter Forever!

[@2birdsgc]

Thank you. Great techniques. Wish your camera was mounted in a way that allows your audience to see a more direct view .

[@justjane805]

Thank you. It had not occurred to me to use rubbings to alter images in this way. I have not used glossy images from magazines because they are too bright and new looking for my work. Thanks for the inspiration to experiment with them more.

I knew about citrosolve and nat geo, but this gets INSTANT results Bravo Thanks

[@juliescase5105]

This is a fantastic idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@danih7577]

The transition and textures that you created are beautiful. I knew I needed a transition and was trying to come up with ideas when I found you. Thank you, also it’s very nice listening to your descriptions. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Brilliant!!! Thank you so much for sharing!💚🖤🩶 Are you South African?

[@theartery5538]

I have been living in South Africa for the past 32 years! Born and raised bilingual in Athens, Greece and then 6 years in Paris getting an MA in fine art. As a result my accent is “complex”!

How do you get the liquid colors in the little glass jars all along the wall... is that a liquid watercolor? From a tube?

[@kristinamullen4066]

I love the effect. Thank you for sharing

[@dilemmix]

Thank you, I love the idea of the leaf rubbing! So pretty! Is this only possible with National Geographic magazines or can I use any magazine?

Lovely, thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your amazing talent 😀

[@plan4life]

Interesting techniques. I think you need a better camera setup though as it was difficult to see what you were doing and there was a lot of camera shake.

[@leonajean1979]

Ditto

[@kristinamullen4066]

I usually paint the transitions with acrylic paint.It works very well but you need to coat the finished piece with decoupage finish or matt or gloss medium,

[@user-kl8lo6rj5i]

This is brilliant! Could I use a die or embossing stamp for this?

[@amoxtlihernandez3835]

Great ideas! :)

[@jaynedough130]

thank you!

[@sequinb7155]

Lovely technique. Does it only work with national geographic pages? As I have heard they have a special coatings.

[@theartery5538]

You can use this technique on most magazine images. Not only National Geographics. Darker images show up the rubbed textures more dramatically. You can also use Tea Tree oil instead of acetone.

[@robinaanstey3734]

Fantastic! Ty 😀

[@kellercrucita550]

New suscriber🙏🏼😃

[@sherryleggett1612]

Do you need to use National Geographic pages or will other magazines work?

[@theartery5538]

You can use any magazine. Yea Tree oil (instead of acetone) also works. Enjoy! 🌿

[@updatedjustnow271]

This is one of the most dangerous videos I have watched on YT. Acetone is a HIGHLY FLAMMABLE liquid. Not only that but the fumes should not be inhaled. You are using it in an enclosed room. This is the worst.

[@theartery5538]

Many things artists use are highly flammable. Turpentine, for example. Surrealists used the fumage technique, using smoke from a candle or a paraffin burner. I was not in an enclosed room but in an airy studio space. No flames anywhere. You can try this with Tea Tree Oil instead of acetone, if you prefer. You might have to rub a bit more vigorously.

[@jennysurfer6516]

Like how women soak their nails in pure acetone in the closed areas of nail salons and at home? Calm down.

[@updatedjustnow271]

@@jennysurfer6516 that’s how idiots do it at home but that’s not how it’s done in nail salons.

[@jennysurfer6516]

@@updatedjustnow271 yes it is. What do to u think nail remover is? ;) Sometimes it's best to sit down and relax than to open up crying and looking dumb.

[@updatedjustnow271]

@@jennysurfer6516 there are a lot of alternatives to acetone based nail polish remover. So stop looking dumb.
