Just a little tip that has saved me from the same frustrating situation with paint dried on a foam stamp. Alcohol will break down acrylic paint. I have actually been successful removing some spots on my clothes this way. I usually put in in an old spray bottle and spritz it on the stamp and let it sit till the paint starts to get soft and wipe it. Sometimes it takes a few times but eventually I can remove enough for it to work again. Hope this helps.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks! I just make sure that the paint does not dry on the surface :-) I find that to be the easiest way, prevention. But yes, you can also use hand sanitizer as its primary ingredient is rubbing alcohol.

To be more environmentally safe, you can let your rinse water sit overnight and let the residue sink to the bottom of the container. Pour off the water out onto the ground and let the solids dry out. Throw out the clump and reuse the container.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

When I was trained by Golden Paints they suggested using a 5 gallon bucket with one bag of sandbox sand. Poor the paint water into the bucket and sit it in the sun, somewhere it can dry. The paint solids will be trapped in the sand, and the water will evaporate. This way absolutely no paint goes into the ground. :-)

[@MoniqueAO888]

Maybe you could discart the paint-water through a coffee-filter or paper-towel made of gras or bamboo.

I didn't think the metallics were going to be dark enough to show up against the bright colors on the back side, so that was a nice surprise when you turned the papers back to the front side! I was glad to see you were wearing short sleeves today because I'm always afraid you are going to get paint on your lovely clothes.😊😊

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

So it's about contrast, you don't want the stamps to be dark when the paper is dark, you want high contrast. Also the metallic paint does not allow the paint to soak through, it resists the magenta because it is opaque! the rice paper is the key. Oh I need to wear an apron, don't I????

I have loved watching your videos, and I am looking forward to taking a class with you in the near future. I cannot wait to try this process and check out these paints. I wanted to suggest that when you use paper towels to clean up, if you are using a sturdy roll like Costco or Viva, I wipe my paint messes or extra paint with the paper towel, and then when I am done with a color, or for the session, I water down the acrylic paints on the pallet, and soak the paper towels in it, similar to how you brush on the water downed paint, and I use the dried paper towels as collage papers, which adds a nice texture to the work! paint stays out of the drain and landfill. win-win.

That is what I do with my pallet sheets in my Masterson box. What a great idea for the paper towels! Thanks for sharing.

I disagree. EVERYTHING you pour in the ground makes it to the ground water. Try evaporating the water by catching it in a bucket and setting it in the sun. Much better.

Can't wait to get into the studio and make a fun filled mess! This technique makes such gorgeous papers and I really appreciate you demonstrating it. I have learned so much from you that I'd like to return the favor. Place your ruined foam stamp face down in some full strength Murphy's Oil soap overnight then rub it onto wet paper towels to remove the painty goo. Once most of the paint is off, rinse thoroughly. I have even used this method to remove dried gesso and gloss medium from paintbrushes. It's like magic.

[@semajrn1]

Love your inspiring techniques...will this technique work with any rice paper?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

It will but you need a sturdy sheet and much rice paper is thin. So much water will cause thinner sheets to tear.

[@jakkigarlans2680]

I wondered, as I watched the end of the video, if you had ever put sheets of rice paper under the sheets that are drying. I think you would get some very interestingly patterned papers by doing that. I'm going to get some rice paper so I can try this technique and try the idea of the sheets underneath.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

what I think would happen is that since the rice paper is so absorbent, the sheet underneath would pull some of the color out of the painted sheet. I want the painted sheet to be as vibrant as possible so I let it sit in the paint and dry. thanks for watching!

[@azensmuseyong7614]

One way is to let paints on the cloths dry, and then reuse until it’s ‘painted’ all over and dried again and again like layers. You can then wash or dampen to reuse since the dry acrylics will not come off. Saves papers and not polluting the water system. Just sharing useful tips I learned from other artists.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

exactly, that is what I do. I keep reusing the same cloths but I am also guilty of using paper towel. thanks for sharing!!!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I could give it a try but in my experience nothing reactivates dried acrylic paint because of its' polymer base, and you cannot scrub the foam as it is fragile... you can scrub rubber stamps like the dickens but not these. I will give it a try though Christina, why not?

Would a sand block remove the top layer of paint from the rose stamp? That method works on rubber stamps… just a thought. These papers are stunning!

you cannot sand acrylic as it is polymer based... plastic, it is flexible and does not sand. Plus the foam would be damaged by the sanding. It's just a good example of what happens when you don't take care of them.... but it's not hard to wipe them when they are wet! thanks Liz
