[@carriecorbin1502]

This is just so dang pretty. Digitals of these would be so cool

[@MrsPaperArtsy]

it's so fun, each colour combo and each layer it jsuts gets better, trick is not too much paint!

[@russellmiles8783]

Wow. It's like a close-up of a Monet painting.

[@SmilynStef]

Loved trying this technique ... I used regular acrylic and had a lot of fun. Can't wait to try again with chalks

[@dianneholst3209]

Stephanie S same -I went through my matte (craft paints) and chose similar colours. Turned out much the same. I cut and tear out shapes ( love hearts) to use in collage and little tags. I love fresco greens tho and don’t have many so may order some of those.

this mix of colors is fantastic! blue-green-violet ...hummmm! and lil touch of white!

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

LOVE this with the multi colors. Will definitely give it a try.. on a canvas. Thank you for sharing. I've purchased those Ellen stamps too. They are sooo versatile. OOXXOO Linda

[@lesleyebdon8566]

Only just catching up on these videos Leandra and love them. I think these will give me the confidence to have a go at using all the different colours. Off for the third one now! Xx

[@48nelia]

I've watched these 2 videos a couple of times and tried it and LOVED how they turned out. Thank you so much for such detailed, yet simple, instructions!!! PLEASE do the third video showing how you added the texture, stamps, etc.

[@MrsPaperArtsy]

Beautiful! I love all the colours you used but I would never have used them all together!! thank you for doing these videos they're fantastic xx

[@MaryCNasser]

Wonderful video tutorial, Leandra! Thank you! Reminds me of a Monet painting!

[@MsArtistwannabe]

Love this tutorial. Beautiful background.

[@salmohunter4126]

Morning great vid thank you for sharing your skills. could you tell me do these paints last or do they fade . was hoping to use them in my collage paintings many thanks.

[@MrsPaperArtsy]

Hi Salmo, these paints are UV safe, so for example you can paint things and leave them in direct sunlight and they will not fade, which is a pretty unusual apint feature for a craft grade product. So you are good to go! Enjoy!

So very helpful!

I love this technique...thank you

[@vilmo51]

Like your video! Thank you for sharing

[@mazajpeter]

I have just found your channel and love it!! This background technique is beautiful but I don't have your chalk paints but have ample of other acrylic paints and at this stage would like to use up my old paints before purchasing more, will it work with other paints? I haven't done much crafting for quite awhile, due to sickness, but when I do get back into it would love to try this!!

[@MrsPaperArtsy]

mazajpeter I'm not sure, the beauty of the Frescos is the high chalk content means they dry fast from layer to layer, so there is no heat-gun drying required. They also do not blend 'wet into wet'. That could happen with another brand. However, that might be a good thing. You know what I'm going to say i expect!!.... try it and find out! ~Leandra

[@sophiaschellTransformed]

I love the fresco paints but it is so hard to know which colors to get. I want to invest in about 16 colors initially. Do you have suggestions on which to get if I want to have some coverage across color families.

[@ginanuccio6777]

What brand paper is being used in this video? Or what type of paper? I really need your help with this. Thank you! Such beautiful work.

[@PaperArtsy]

Smoothy is the paper. You can buy it from our stockists around the world. Stockist list on the PaperArtsy blog.

[@mfvideos2009]

Thank you!

[@michellet204]

Is your brayer hard or soft rubber?

[@mfvideos2009]

Have you tried these chalk paints on the Gelli plate?

[@maggieingram4333]

Yes worked well. Maggie

[@MrsPaperArtsy]

Hi Kathy, the opaques dry very fast, so depending on your climate open time can be affected. An option is to add some gloss glaze to the paint to extend open time. The translucents are inherently slimier, and thus stay wet longer. They still dry matte, and fast, again, adding more gloss glaze will extend your working window. Many people enjoy them on GP, but I am not a GP guru so can only report what I have heard. HTH, Leandra
