There are no failures Marabeth, just lessons we learn from. Love your inspirational videos 😊❤

[@marabethquinart]

I’m so happy to hear it 🥰

[@cathykodra3169]

I love this whole idea, and your teaching is marvelous. You’re so gentle and thorough in your approach, as well as honest. I appreciate these qualities very much; as someone quite new to collage, I find you reassuring and truly encouraging. The finished piece is gorgeous, and I especially love the contrast of the areas of “golden light” (how else to describe it?!) with the darker flowers and foliage. Beautifully balanced to my eye. Many thanks for your exceptional instruction and generosity.

[@marabethquinart]

Thank you so much! What kind words ❤️ and I’m so happy you’re discovering collage-there’s always something more to learn and be discovered so keep with it 😊

Well, I haven’t had any “Summer Romance” this summer 😉 but that is a gorgeous piece of art! Love each and every detail!

[@marabethquinart]

Lol, thank you Alyson! And thanks for watching 😊

[@PaulWalesArt]

Beautiful Marabeth. Watching you work is meditative and inspiring. This piece is lovely - I think in part because it contains so much history - that of past work and also of your learning journey. Thank you for sharing.

[@marabethquinart]

I agree-the history it contains affects it both aesthetically and symbolically. It was a fun one to make!

[@mariannek9513]

This is so freaking amazing, I love it. I love the final piece, but also the whole idea behind, overpainting/reusing old work. I think we all have a lot of old stuff and this is a great way for reusing some of them. Looking at your process is so interesting, to see how how the work develops. Please keep posting

[@marabethquinart]

I’m happy you like the idea-it was really fun and rewarding to pick up an old painting that had been sitting in a closet and give it use. Just a fun way to incorporate old and new. And I will definitely keep posting!

Hi @MarabethQuin would having a waterspraybottle,a sponge that is kept damp or a bowl big enough to soak the paper fora few moments to get it wet enough to peel from the paper work or has it worked best to pull your paper apart dry as you showed us and then we can place the medium to the new substrate to adhere it?

[@marabethquinart]

I bet you are right-I thought about soaking it to peel it off but this particular painting wasn’t varnished and I was worried that some water-soluble marks would be wiped off the surface with all the water. But next time, I think I might do a quick spray of varnish and then see if water won’t help remove a lot of the paper. Great suggestion.

[@klauskarolina]

I really love your style 😍 You have such a romantic soul

[@marabethquinart]

Thank you so much 😀 what a nice compliment

[@avanellehansen4525]

Some nice gems on close ups, but the flowers seem so small and spotty for such a large substrate. Thecis no star performer. Perhaps develop the large teabag area at the bittom into a giant flower, then incororate some of the edges to connect it.

[@marabethquinart]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@TravelingTreasureFinder]

I've recently discovered your channel and I love your process and your work! Since you are using water soluble crayons on top of this work, are you giving it a final seal or not? If so, what do you seal with? A spray perhaps?

[@marabethquinart]

Thanks so much! And yes, I spray over the water-soluble parts with Kamar varnish and then when it’s dry, I brush over the whole painting with Liquitex Satin Varnish

[@user-yz5wp1to6s]

Bonjour ! Quel médium de collage utilisez-vous ? C'est merveilleux ! Merci beaucoup

[@marabethquinart]

I use Golden Glazing Medium-I like it because it adheres the paper wonderfully and is very fluid. I also use it to thin my paint, so it works for both of those purposes, but there are many mediums you could use for collage. It’s whatever you prefer really. Thanks for watching 😊

[@rumisprite]

I kept staring at the bowl of blueberries trying to figure out what sort of art supply it was 😂.

[@marabethquinart]

Hahaha, I love that! 😆

[@yopestevens1505]

Hello there. Just curious if you ever collage paper onto paper substrate, or does it have to be on a rigid surface? Maybe tape paper substrate onto glass & then collage? I have a number of old paintings on paper that I would love to combine onto a newly painted, bigger paper...How can I do this without warping? Any help would be great, thank you.

[@marabethquinart]

I collage onto thick mixed media paper a lot and it does just fine. It will curl a bit but will straighten out if it is laid flat and weighted. I’ve never tried it on thinner mixed media paper however, although I would think it would work. I think it probably really helps if all the collage papers are considerably thinner than the mixed media paper you’re using as the substrate.

[@yopestevens1505]

@@marabethquinart Thanks! I've been successfully peeling off most of the back layers of one & I do think it might be thin enough to use. Nothing left to do but simply jump in & try :)

[@marabethquinart]

That’s always my motto!!

[@sallyjohnson1566]

where did you get your wet strength tissue paper?

[@marabethquinart]

I use both teabag paper and tissue-it holds up pretty well. Here’s a link to the tissue I use amzn.to/47gOO8S
