[@whyducks1]

Great video Andy thank you

[@gloschurman8775]

Great background - a quick question please. Are you using Decoart Traditions paint? There are a lot of places to buy Decoart Americana, but they don't seem to have the same color lines as the Traditions, which I see are more expensive paints

[@aprilquilts]

Fantastic video! Can you tell me more about what you used for the resist?

[@aprilquilts]

Thank you. That is really helpful.

[@billywong907]

Hi just wanna ask can I do the same thing on canvas. Cos I kinda fail with that. Thx for this video!

[@JennyJardin]

Please tell us where you got the lovely stamps.

[@sandyhenderson441]

Andy, do you find that adding up to 50% water to your acrylic paint causes the paint to flake off as it ages? I was taught not to add more than 1/3 water to the paint to avoid late flaking, but it is hard to get the lovely transparency you have at this paint dilution

[@LynneWilliams101]

Andy, I was wondering if this technique would work on heavy mixed media paper? Awesome image!!!

[@stanky6261973]

Brilliant!

[@lulutaylor452]

Andy Skinner you've done it again! I have watched hundreds of arty videos but I think this is one of the best. Just dying to get my hands on some of these stamps. I wish I didn't live on such an awkward island. What type of stamps did you use? I looked on the deco Art site but they dont have them. I have never used rubber stamps and dont really know what to search for or what type of ink pad is best. Please advise!

[@AnnabelleJARankin]

Where do you live? The ink pad was 'Archival', you can get it from Amazon, but if like me you live on a Mediterranean island, you may have trouble getting deliveries!

[@kayhorner3515]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I tried it on heavy cs and the rubbing alcohol isn't working :(

[@kayhorner3515]

I used Traditions transparent red iron oxide. I don't know if alcohol can lose its potency but my 90% didn't smell like alcohol at all so I'm thinking maybe that was my problem. I'm going to try again once I get some new alcohol and the easy float. Thanks Andy! I'm so excited that you have new techniques to teach us.

[@billywong907]

I mean the resist part. Thxxx
