I love the scratched texture through the molding paste

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Me too! So fun. Thanks Shel

[@alanabooth5434]

I’m so very inspired with this video and can’t wait to try this entire technique❤️

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

That’s wonderful! Inspiration as a beautiful gift

[@lulabelle33]

This is truly a fabulous floral 8x8. Beautiful!!!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks so much!!

[@evmart123]

Amazing beauty and harmony within such brightness and richness of colour. I admire coloured works that have such a level of taste in them. For me grafic and simplifying is so much easier then keeping balance in such rich works.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thank you so very much, I really appreciate that!

[@laurawilson9088]

I really love the look and added depth of the pencil line work in the molding paste. Beautiful as always!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

thank you Laura, I have been experimenting with it and do like the texture it adds!

[@ilonajeanpassino608]

So interesting and fun. I love texture paste but would not have thought to put it on the background.last. Lovely effect. Thank you Elizabeth for sharing.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

You are very welcome! I like the way that it applies texture to the background. I like doing the background color last because it keeps clean, and neat, and doesn’t get messed up with flu or dirt from your hands. Also the negative space back on painting allows you to cut in and change the shape of some things, final set of edits!

[@susanmiller126]

Wonderful! Can’t wait to give it a try! !…

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I hope you have great results!

[@jillkent6134]

So beautiful ❤

[@tracyleboeuf3268]

Wonderful video!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks Tracy!

[@karendaley3184]

You are such a good teacher! I love this tutorial and am going to try out that molding paste idea in my art journal. I'll check out the Sedona class too. The beauty of Zoom is getting access to classes that would be difficult to travel to. Thanks for the great video!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thank you for your kind words Karen! I’m happy to have Zoom For that reason too! We still have room for you in Sedona. It’s going to be a great workshop.

[@judyhyland682]

Love this

Stunning!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks!

[@gy0215p]

Thank you, Elizabeth! So inspiring to watch you in action. Because I haven’t used them, I wonder: wouldn’t the Stabilo Woody pencil marks bleed when you apply varnish?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Yes! But I hit them with spray varnish first.

[@mariontl6764]

I have yet to try the stabilo pencils. Wondering though if you put a Golden varnish over this afterwards, and with the stabilos being water soluble, do they not run ? Thanks for sharing your great videos.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Hey I’m sorry I totally missed this comment from a long time ago. Please watch my recent video on stabila Woody’s for information about how to seal them

[@deborahthompson3847]

Loved this. Thank you!

Thank you Jan

[@nattyw495]

Interesting conceptual work....I really enjoy this video as the molding paste really makes the flowers seem more dimensional...I'd like to try this could you recomd a median price board or such for someone beginning to learn techniques such as this just buying samplers is over 20 plus shipping no local art stores in my area, so the boards (?) Could be another item I need to purchase...lol I guess it's kinda good some times to be a tight budgeter as you need to really focus on what you like and then not buy art supplies you dont find you enjoy...wish we kinda have art community art cooperative where I live but I guess with pandemic and all that might not be safe either.....many art blessing tou you and your art today...

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thank you so much! I have a full list of supplies on my Amazon page, that link is below the video

[@laineylee2920]

Where is your blog ? You have a lovely style

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

PaperPaintings.com/blog thank you kindly.

[@lindabarnett7653]

Are they sticky to the touch if you don't apply water to them?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

No, not at all

[@brendadelamora4045]

Hi there. Days maybe yrs ago I took a workshop at the Leesburg Art in Florida. I’m the one who convinced Mary Spires to bring you to our Indian Rocks Art Center. What are those wood crayons. Went to ur Amazon store and couldn’t find them

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Hello Brenda! wow, that goes back a long way. I love Mary, we share a birthday. Stabilo Woodies are on my Amazon page, in this list, scroll about one third of the way down: www.amazon.com/shop/paper-paintings-collage-artwork?listId=2I4GS01GFDR39

[@jillharper7456]

There is a face in the molding paste!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

If there is, then it’s serendipitous :-)

[@BigMoepar]

Way cool. Can you use crackle paste the same way, or would mixing paint to it mess up the crackle effect?

[@BigMoepar]

Ok, I just looked on the Golden site, & you can tint it.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I have used it white and tinted, I like painting on top of it because the color bleeds into the crackle in beautiful ways.

[@annmariegraham2699]

Do you seal this or do you put it under glass?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I never put anything under glass, I varnish

[@minnahumble2294]

I still don’t understand why you did it. The first background color was prettier and the stems had more definition in their true color.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

That's what's wonderful about art... you get to exercise your own creative license and everyone likes something different. I love it like this, and that's all that matters because I am the artist!!!! how awesome is that. :) have a fantastic weekend.

[@Sophiegirl032603]

Elizabeth, I sent you a message through FB Messenger, because I didn't want it to be public. Please read my message, and let me know your answer. Thanks.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks!
