I can't wait to try!!! That was fascinating. The depth you created after outlining the trees was so exciting. You are so pleasant to listen to and your relaxing tone is just what I need right now. I'll be looking forward to more videos as a new subscriber! Thank you.

You are such a great instructor. Thank you for using logic, expertise and creativity to teach us this. xx

[@SharonHurst]

Thank you for your lovely comments. I hope you have a go yourself. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🧡

[@weefirebelle]

Brilliant! This technique is such fun, but you've opened my eyes to seeing more effects for so many different other ideas and areas. I have loved using this technique for a great effect for paint rocks and seaweed, I also used it to create an underwater background in a painting of coral and colourful abstract rocks as a background for painting a seahorse. I'd never thought of using this for painting trees or creating movement on a water surface. YES 👍😍

[@SharonHurst]

Thank-you so much. I hope it helps. I would love to see what you get up to!!!! xxxxx

Wow! I love it! I just saw a wild mess when I tried it. Now I see how to manipulate the film - and wait for it to totally dry. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@SharonHurst]

Thank you for your comment. Glad it made sense and hopefully inspired you. Thanks for watching. 🧡

[@SharonHurst]

Thank you! Enjoy experimenting. Let me know how you get on! 🧡

[@donnadees1971]

I would float thinned oil paints on water. Then dried, and drew on the dried paper. Beautiful mystical subjects.

[@SharonHurst]

That sounds very exciting! Good idea! 🧡

[@Benvi5735]

This was amazing....thank you for such clear instructions. I'm going to try it out! 💞🙏💞🙏

[@SharonHurst]

Thank you! X

[@LouisaSharp]

Morning Sharon. Thank you for sharing . I have used clingfilm before for my cardmaking but it was using brusho's and other paints onto the crushed up clingfilm and then putting the water colour paper ontop of the clingfilm and gently pressing down.. I do love this effect you have created today... I see a waterfall at the end of your path... I will need to try this...

[@SharonHurst]

Ooo, I have never tried doing it this way! Have you tried putting the colour into washing up liquid with a tiny bit of water. Then blow it into lots of bubbles through a straw. Lay the paper gently on the coloured bubbles. It make s a lovely effect.

[@LouisaSharp]

@@SharonHurst No I hav'nt tried with washing up liquid... something new to try... I have used the brusho's and water oan AIDA fabric and stamped onto it after it had dried... I did love how that turned oot... I have painted with watercolours oan AIDA ages ago then I free stiched oan top of it... I do like to challenge meself now and again... :) I will be stitching oan a large red sampler this afternoon while visiting some friends oan flosstube.... Happy painting / crafting...

[@patferguson572]

This was wonderful! I've seen some cling film use in paintings, but not the way you can manipulate it almost to your will. Thank you, Sharon. from Qld. Oz

[@Richiedei50]

Breathtaking. Thank you so much. It’s brilliant. 🥰

[@SharonHurst]

Thank you so much! I was fun to do, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. 😀

[@Richiedei50]

I wonder if this technique would work with alcohol inks - you’d obviously have to work with smaller areas as they dry so quickly. Have you ever tried?

[@SharonHurst]

@@Richiedei50 no, never tried.if you have a go, can you let me know the results? Working on Yupo might be best, it slows the drying.

[@Richiedei50]

@@SharonHurstWill do. I understand the advantages of Yupo & Nara etc., but I avoid plastics wherever possible. 🤷‍♀️

[@SharonHurst]

@@Richiedei50 yes, I agree, so do I. However, if you paint a masterpiece on that, your family will have an heirloom for ever!! 😀😂

[@sherizapara2992]

Great technique with the cling wrap!!

[@SharonHurst]

Thank you, it’s always god fun to see what happens! Have a go! 🤗

[@sherizapara2992]

I had a painting that just was giving me fits, so I put a quick wash of a light color over the whole thing and used cling wrP....loved how it came out!!

[@donnadees1971]

Leave the Saran Wrap on…it looks really cool.

[@SharonHurst]

There is no reason at all why you couldn’t do that, but as it lifts off on its own when it is completely dry, I reckon there is a solution….mix PVA in withe the paint before you put it on! Thanks for watching. 🧡

[@fionafarren8084]

At the end you touch on enhancing the picture and show a bit. It would be great if you elaborated on this.

[@bharathischittipottikadhal1141]

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

Love this ❤ what happens with acrylic paints watered down? Thanks for sharing.

[@SharonHurst]

Yes that will work too! Good luck. X

[@jennyholding5272]

What type of tape do you use for the border? All those I have tried take the surface off the paper.

[@SharonHurst]

Hello. If I am not going to be using a great quantity of water I use masking tape. If you find that it is tearing your paper, there is a trick before you stick it down. Having torn your length off the roll, simply stick it to your skirt or trousers once or twice and the lint from your clothes lessens the tacky glue. Then stick it on your paper. However, if I have a wet piece of work coming up where the paper will probably cockle, I used brown gummed tape. Once this is on your work, that is it! You can’t get it off and I use a long ruler and a scalpel to cut the painting out. So if you are painting to size, always remember and allow for the losses each side for the tape. Hope that helps.
