Hi Linda. I've just discovered your channel and tutorials. I loved this technique and can't wait to give it a try! I have seen other artists use the tissue in abstract work, but not like you have done this, so I'm very excited! So pleased I have found your art, thanks for sharing! Best wishes Robyn

[@lindabrownartist]

Thank you!

Thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial ; I like thinking out of the box regarding technique with watercolour ; found this very inspirational lie be trying this out for sure ; thanks for post 👍🇬🇧

[@lindabrownartist]

Thanks so much

[@sped17373]

The monochromatic one is my favorite, it has great depth and the foreground looks exactly like the forest floor with fallen branches everywhere.

[@lindabrownartist]

Thank you I love that one too :)

[@yopestevens1505]

To my surprise, painting in the raven seemed almost too easily done - and it defines the scale of the trees perfectly. Beautiful!

[@lindabrownartist]

Thank you so much 😊

[@elmineleroux2840]

Hilarious x

[@jeannecavanaugh7789]

I love this! I create mandalas with this type of technique, not the tissue paper so much but the dripping method interested in your classes, but did get your email,

[@lindabrownartist]

You are so welcome!

[@mariongowland402]

Hi Linda, I’m new to your channel and absolutely love the these two videos. I use cling film a lot in my paintings but have never used tissue. I’ll make this my next project. Thank you for sharing and delivering this knowledge so clearly. Marion

[@lindabrownartist]

Enjoy experimenting Marion, thank you for the lovely feedback

[@lizdouglas1952]

LINDA!!! I will remark on part 1 of this incredible technique in watercolor. This is gorgeous!! I can't express adequately how taken I am with your design, and materials. I have a white oil pastel pencil. I hope if I use the side of the pencil, it'll be safe as to not tear the paper. You are AMAZING!! 😘👍💖🎨

[@lindabrownartist]

Thanks Liz:) I just make sure you have plenty of gesso on the tissue paper to harden it enough, hopefully you will be okay. Let me know how you go with it, If you’re on Facebook, I invite you to join my group Art with Linda Brown, for inspiration and sharing techniques/works :)

[@bobcomo8580]

Very informative, would like to see the method of laying down the tissue paper for texture.

[@lindabrownartist]

I can organise that Bob, I’ll create a video on that technique today 🙏

[@lindabrownartist]

Posted😊

[@christineandersen8366]

Really liked this Linda. It's a new technique I am discovering.

[@suzyredfern4851]

@@lindabrownartist I’ve peeked through some videos and can’t seem to find the one that specifically shows this method. Can you share the name or a link? I haven’t been able to get this tutorial out of my mind for days, and I tried rather unsuccessfully to do it according to the description 😅 I’d love to see the video you made showing it being done. ♥️

Thanks Yvonne, that’s the aim, lol, the hard part is making the videos lol, still learning!

[@sped17373]

Beautiful textures indeed! I want to try this gesso/tissue paper technique (and mess about with watercolors in general) to possibly enhance my airbrushing....especially backgrounds. Textures are something I've always striven to achieve as an airbrush artist to offset the typical smoothness of airbrushing. I already have some Arches 300 gm. hot-press, need gesso & tissue--I have no real watercolors but my airbrush paints are all water-based with the finest ground pigments, yes I know they're not quite the same but will have to do for now. I also use a lot of pearl/micas and metal leaf in my work--ever seen gold leaf used on a leather jacket? Thank you very much for showing us your technique here--it gives me much food for thought! Gotta finish my X-mas cards first, then I can experiment with this.

[@lindabrownartist]

Thank you, enjoy experimenting with this technique. You can use a cheaper heavy paper, it seems a waste using your beautiful Arches 😀

[@paulalotte1146]

Just beautiful!!

Thank you so much 😀

How do you finish the paintings with the tissue paper on them. That's another lesson. I tried this one and I love my results, thank you so much.

[@lindabrownartist]

I always frame them behind glass :)

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Linda, thank you💛

I love this! Is there a video of how you did the background?

[@lindabrownartist]

See video 1 😀

[@christineellis9943]

Oh dear, wish I hadn't wasted my DS paints on this. Will try again with cheaper paints till I get the hang of it.

[@lindabrownartist]

Oh no, just try a smaller work 😀 better luck next time

[@theresaavery4670]

Mesmerizing! Love your process! Can't wait to try for my next project. Question on the gesso. I have seen acrylic gesso, is that ok, or is there one for watercolor?

[@lindabrownartist]

Use acrylic gesso 😀💜

[@suzyredfern4851]

Enjoyed watching! I'm still a new and learning artist, if you don't mind I have a couple of questions: 1) if you're painting multiple layers of gesso (and tissue paper) over the canvas, what difference does it make if it's WC paper vs a regular canvas? (asking partially for the technical curiosity, and partially because WC paper can be so expensive and if it doesn't impact the final painting I might try this with something else XD). 2) Can you use something else like pastel or charcoal for the final step of bringing out the texture from the tissue paper, or is there something special about the oil pastel that makes it ideal for this? Thank you so much in advance, I'm enjoying learning from you through these videos!

[@lindabrownartist]

Hi and thank you for your questions 1) you can use watercolour paper/ cheaper watercolour paper/mixed media paper/cardboard/canvas/wool/canvas paper, as a substrate, the outcome will be basically the same 2) you could definitely use charcoal/pastel/inktense blocks instead of oil pastels Have fun experimenting ⭐️

[@suzyredfern4851]

@@lindabrownartist thank you so much!! :) watching this process got me so excited to experiment, thank you for being an inspiration!

[@Pottymoon]

Unfortunately Moonstone is fugitive. Can you recommend an alternative please?

[@lindabrownartist]

You could use neutral tint more towards the blue, with a touch of alizerine

[@suzanplatzer5416]

I love this technique. But I was wondering if I could use 140 lb watercolor paper. I believe you called for 300 lb watercolor paper. And for a beginner if I was to purchase 300 lb watercolor paper or what would you recommend?

[@lindabrownartist]

The paper I use is 300gsm. Just a heavy wc paper will be fine. Canson Montval is a medium grade paper, affordable for beginners :)

[@sigrunoddgeirsdottir2097]

Its my understanding that pH levels play a role in how well the pigment keeps over time. Will the WC paper, the gesso and oil pastel alter the pH in a negitive way for the watercolor?

[@lindabrownartist]

I use only artists grade materials, not student grade. I have mixed media works that have withstood time, many years hanging in my home and friends homes too. They are still in pristine condition and true to colour. All framed with Matt boards and glass.

[@maryaltabev5275]

Absolutely amazing! I certainly would love to join one of your workshops. Where are you based?

[@lindabrownartist]

I’m located near Kiama south of Sydney NSW Australia:)

[@maryaltabev5275]

@@lindabrownartist thanks for the reply Linda. Until a few years ago I used to travel to Sydney from the UK regularly, no more I’m afraid. However if the opportunity presents itself again I’ll make sure to try and at least see your work in situ.

[@lavonnecarrick2238]

I enjoyed your techniques and I am going to try it. Just one thought I would appreciate it if you had listed your Colors. As it is I need to re-watch and take notes on what colors you used. Thank you again for beautiful work.

[@lindabrownartist]

I’ll definitely keep that in mind - I’m very much a beginner at making these videos:) all suggestions are welcome. Enjoy your painting 🧑‍🎨

[@nancyporcella7650]

I love this type of painting- I assume you dont use gesso on top of watercolor paper but rather on canvas- is that right? Nancy

[@lindabrownartist]

Both Nancy, I use it on WC paper and canvas

[@melbahaga3913]

How to “finish”, protect, before displaying? …spray? Clear coat?

[@lindabrownartist]

I always frame my watercolours behind glass - no need to apply a finishing spray

[@watkinsrory]

Really love your work, but I feel that there were too many ads to finish the video. There is a possibility that this is why you got so few people subscribed to your channel.

[@lindabrownartist]

I have no idea, I’m still trying to fathom it out 😏

[@watkinsrory]

@lindabrownartist There should be a setting where you can reduce the ads. I hope you were not offended as its just an observation.
