How to Décollage Dynamic Mixed Media Backgrounds

[@ginaburgess9759]

Who knew I needed a palm sander?! What a fascinating technique and I love the glaze.

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Gina 😂😂😂! They are so fun to use and make the sanding time so quick - it's very satisfying! 🥰

[@vickyagnew1651]

I think I need one now too!

[@donnanolan8913]

I’m loving this series. It’s so nice to see start to finish. Can’t wait for completed project❤

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Thank you, Donna! I having a great time with it - let's see what next week brings 🥰

[@margiechenery7292]

One of the things that is good about this series is that we see you actually creating. Not sure about others, but I have A LOT of papers already created. I'm enjoying seeing you creating with them!

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Even though I paint papers just to paint papers, I do like putting them to use in a project like this. I'm so happy you are enjoying the series! 🥰

[@cindyfromsydney7693]

Fabulous! I love the idea of the backward gluing of the papers and I am keen to try it out. I have a painting on canvas that is annoying me😂 I’ve used sanders before and I love destroying work to make something new. I saw someone, maybe Mystele? sand back and “ruin” her painting when I first started to paint and have loved the act of making and then destroying and remaking ever since. My art journey has been different from a lot of people because of this…nothing is ever precious😂 I also never care if I “finish” a painting which I think frees me completely. I don’t have the pressure on myself to make something good enough to hang on my wall, which often makes something good enough to hang on my wall😂 I often never finish my embroideries either, mainly because I get bored and start another one but tell people I leave them incomplete for the viewer to imagine what they would put there 😂😂😂

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

OMGosh Cindy, you are truly a sister from another mister! "Nothing is ever precious" is exactly what I hope to convey when I upload a video. I build and destroy over and over until my heart sings. 🥰

[@brittahansen8688]

Oh Jackie dear! How I love the addition of p.grey and v.d. brown and the effect it donates to the pictures, when you wipe it off!!! 🥳 There are so many fine ideas again in this video. Thanks a lot! I m gibbery to see the next stages of your process .

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Thank you, Britta, I think the glaze brought it all together. The next stage is really fun, so be on the lookout 👀 ! Have a great week! 🥰

[@ginabruno3938]

I’m blown away by this vid… gotta tell ya, as soon as I saw you dabbing off the glaze, I thought, “Oh no! I liked it better before the glaze!” And then you showed the pics of the fruit & it INSTANTLY made sense! And now I’ll never doubt the process again! Lol I’m so excited to see the finished outcome & try this myself!!

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Thank you very much, Gina! This made me giggle because as soon as I started putting the glaze on the first panel I knew it would get a reaction, but I just knew it was right for this project. And...if it didn't workout I could décollage it again - win win 😂. Thank you so much for watching, and I really do hope you'll try it at least once - ripping papers off something you've already created is SO liberating. 🥰

[@pennysplayfulportraits]

Love the decollage process, but the glazing over those beautiful backgrounds made me cry inside. 😂

[@vickyagnew1651]

There are so many points during Jackie’s videos in which I think the pieces are perfect and finished. I love this series!

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Vicky - I had so much fun doing that series - I may have to do another in the near future! I'm so happy you're enjoying it! 🥰

[@SarahMarie-j2n]

@@vickyagnew1651 I would find that maddening 😂 saying, as though she could hear me, "it's perfect, stop!"🤣

[@deannahall2032]

Jackie, you're killing me here, showing at the video's end a brief shot of the actual veggies painted on the panels!! I am 100% an instant gratification gal, and I want to see the rest of your process and the finished panels NOW!! LOL I will have to wait patiently with everyone else until next Saturday to see the rest of your process and the completed works. But, knowing you, seeing you complete the panels will be worth the wait, as I know they're going to be fantastic!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for another great video!!

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

LOL - the anticipation! Actually what you saw at the end of this video is not the final look of the panels...not even close. * wink * But I'll tell you this - the process to get to that point is super-cool and I know you'll love it. Be patient Grasshopper 🥰

[@deannahall2032]

@@PaintedPaperStudio Patience is a virtue not bestowed on moi! But I'll try to keep myself in check this week, I promise : ))) And I realize the sneak peek was just a stage not completion!

[@jennifersdoglife]

So...I'm going to do this process week-by-week and see what I come up with. I can't paint beautiful vegetables but I can take photos and transfer them onto wet strength tissue paper...I think

So exciting 😍👏 i like multiple techniques and the lack of kontroll over the results 🥰 so inspiring 😊 lots of love from Arctic Norway 🥰🍀🌼🌸

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Hello Lena, from Arctic Norway! I agree with you 100% - letting the paints/papers/mediums do their thing with out controlling them too much is so exciting. I'm so happy you are here. 🥰

I am a subscriber and I love to watch you paint papers. I have learned so much from you. I love this new video on decollage. Going to try it!

[@revCMF]

Just watched this yet again because I really want to try this technique. Thank you for providing such in-depth information in a shorter format.

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

This technique is more fun than adults should be allowed to have 😂. I can't wait to find out what you do with it. 😍🥰

[@roamingqueen]

Wow, you're really keeping us on the edge of our seats with this series! So suspenseful 🤩! Jumping to the next part right now! Aloha from Berlin ❤🧡💛💚💜

[@MixedMediaArtByTrina]

So I love this decollage technique, however, I think I am too impatient to try it. Haha! Loved it when you put on the black and wiped it away. Such grungy goodness. Can't wait to see what's next! 😍

Thanks, Trina! It does take some patience, but not too much. The next one is coming out tomorrow. 🥰

[@andreabrown8551]

This is so inspiring Jackie, decollage looks super fun and love how it creates a vintage look to the pieces, so much texture too 🤩. I’m currently working in journals, experimenting and trying to figure out what I would like to achieve with abstract. I wonder if decollage would work on a paper surface? 🤔 Looking forward to the next instalment 😍 Thank you and have a fabulous week 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Hi Andrea! Yes, you can totally do it on a paper surface, just don't let the medium dry too much. I once saw a video and they décollaged in a journal and it was beautiful. I would probably try it out on sheets of paper outside of my journal first so I could test how long I would need to wait to start pulling the paper. If you do it, be sure to let me know how it works out for you. 🥰

Jackie, that is amazing! I did some layer removal before but never with this "décollage" method! Very interesting! Quick question, where is there an arrow on one side of each canvases?!? To indicate top?

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

LOL , Chloé - I was wondering who would be the first to ask about the arrows 😂😂😂 I put them on the tape after filming the composition episode and I cannot for the life of me remember why. This has become a common occurrence for me at this stage of life 😂😂😂

I love ' em just as they are before adding the "unifying" glaze. Did you know when you began what you ultimately wanted to use these for? I've kind of watched thesee quite out of sequence.

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Thank you, Leslie! Here is a playlist with the proper sequence, but to answer your question, in the first 2 videos, I did not know what the subject of the videos would be, I just knew I was making them for a specific spot in my kitchen. By the 3rd video, the paper painting/gel printing video, I had decided and let the process come to me. 🥰 kzbin.info/aero/PLgIXaAju7by2VcRb34YK-jy83l9X8Hmc4&si=qhInzDGcFw-YNPeM

[@TheRestlsFootball]

These are beautiful. Would you mind sharing where you get these wooden squares from ?

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Thank you very much, Pannie! I've put a link to the wood panels in the description of this video. If you scroll down you'll find them under the "Supplies" section. 🥰

[@TheRestlsFootball]

One more question Jackie - at about 12:20 minute mark when you applied matte medium - I absolutely loved that hazy look right after application. Would you happen to know of a medium that stays like this and dries out kind of milky/hazy instead of clear ? Thank you in advance.

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

That is such a great question - I love that look, too. I think the easiest way to get there would be to mix a tiny amount of Titan Buff fluid acrylic and/or a white fluid acrylic with a larger amount of matte medium, or a matte gel medium. This definitely sounds like something I need to experiment with 🥰

[@TheRestlsFootball]

Ohh thank you so much for your answer. I will have to experiment 🧪

[@NadineWendellMojica]

When you wipe the black glaze off do you have a dry or wet cloth? Perhaps either is okay but if it should be fine with either, I need to know ❤

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Great question, Nadine! I usually use a dry towel. However, if it's a thick glaze or scumble, I'll use a damp cloth. 🥰

[@Lsullyvan]

[@katanyajason3316]

I am so glad I subscribed to your channel! What kind of panels are you using?

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

And I am so happy you're here Katanya! The panels are birch wood panels, which I've had for maybe 12 years. I can't remember where I got them, but I've linked to very comparable panels in the description. 🥰

[@katanyajason3316]

@@PaintedPaperStudio Thank you so much for your reply! 😊 Are they simply squares of plywood? I'm asking because I've just made a series of panels like this. We are building our house and our builder had a strip of plywood left over so I asked him to cut it up for me in 18cm x18cm squares that are 18mm thick (approx 7 inch by 3/4 inch thick). I made a series of 9 panels that are destined to be mounted together on a large panel (I'm thinking it has to be plywood of the same thickness) However, I'm thinking that all of that is going to weigh a lot! I've never done this before but I really love the idea of works made up of several panels, and I want to make more, but have no idea how these are usually made. I know that some artists use panels that are hollow, but that would mean buying a whole lot of them. That could be quite expensive, and I would also be limited to standard sizes.

[@retroqueenbeeart]

[@arabellahorwitz2622]

I read that different kinds of glue should be used because they have different sticky-ness???

Yes, you can you different types of glues and mediums all having different levels of tack or sticky-ness 😀 I like using the polymer mediums for the way I collage, however I always have a stick of Uhu and Yes Paste nearby. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. 🥰
