Painting Tissue and Deli Paper with Acrylic Ink-Tutorial Tidbits

Looking for PRODUCTS USED in this video? Click "SHOW MORE" below!
In this week's Tutorial Tidbit, I'm doing something I said I would NEVER do, I'm actually painting tissue paper (and deli paper) I'm working on plastic trash bags over card board, this helps me move the wet papers into the sun to dry without disturbing the wet paint. The Amsterdam Acrylic Inks are highly pigmented and give these papers POW! colors and metallic sheen. PLUS the inks roll right off of the dot pattern of the tissue paper, allowing it to show through all that glorious color-revealing lots and lots of metallic dots. And who doesn't love some spots and polka-dots?

I would love to see how you used these in a project. Love these. You always explain things so well. And you don't go too fast to follow you. Thank you for that. Just got a gift certificate for my birthday for Joggles. Now I have to decide what stencils to choose of yours to order. Hard decision!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Thanks for taking time to day so!

[@PaulWalesArt]

Thank you Elizabeth! There is everything to love about these - building one’s collage stash and what a great idea for those days when you just need to play or are feeling stuck.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

You’re so right!! My pleasure

[@terrychancellor4593]

Thank you for this!!!! I've been debating whether to get the acrylic inks and if they would do well on tissue. Definitely going to invest in some!! I just love doing collage and you have been such an inspiration!! ❤️

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Oh yay! Perfect timing.

[@stephaniethomas7232]

Oh my goodness, I have that tissue paper from Amazon and I've been wanting to paint tissue paper for collages! I excited for this, thank you!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

my pleasure!!!

[@jlm517rocks]

Wow! perhaps wax paper would work like plastic bag & keep papers from sticking...great color mixes...definitely gonna wear gloves & tighten my caps...

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Give it a try! I bet that would work

[@sherrydee]

Oh my gosh, SOOOOOOO beautiful! The texture is breathtaking. I’d have a hard time tearing those up!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Well I will probably look at them for a little while, and then some of them will go to my paper of the month subscribers. And then I will tear up just a little bit of it :-)

[@lindseywarren44]

Hullo, Elizabeth! What a beautiful tutorial 😍 I absolutely adore Magenta and Orange together. Beautiful. And those inks are so yummy! I would love a set of them. I recently suffered a nasty fall and fractured my left arm in 3 places and badly sprained my right (dominant) wrist. I've been very down these past few weeks because doing art hurts. I know that I must be patient & heal, but it's very difficult for me to want to paint and not be able. I am consoling myself with a replay of your vids 😁 You always cheer me up and I am most grateful. Thank you, darling girl! 😘 Much Love and Bless xo

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I hope that you get better soon! That’s a terrible position to be in. Art is so therapeutic and I’m glad that you are enjoying my videos. I’m totally with you, magenta and orange together is like magic! Thanks for taking the time to comment Lindsey

[@831Miranda]

Very pretty papers!! I especially liked the green,teal,lavender combo!!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Oh me too! Thanks

[@pammclennan1642]

You make interesting and fun videos. Thank you for this one using tissue paper. Would alcohol inks work with this technique or would the colours be too translucent?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Hi thank you so much! I don’t use alcohol inks so I cannot say. I guess just give it a try!

[@simaabedini5908]

Can you do painting on this sheet ?! Watercolor perhaps? Can you add Matt medium ?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I’m not sure. I use it for collage

[@rutbrea8796]

So, after giving these colors to these textures, what do you do with them? You place them on a frame? Add it to a canvas for a painting?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I am a collage artist, I use all my paper for that. Visit my website to see a portfolio: PaperPaintings.com

[@senojah]

I would love to see some of how you used these in a finished piece of art. Thanks

[@pattywelch5282]

I was wondering if any acrylic ink will work? I have some liquitex inks

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I would think any brand would work , try it!

[@Selma_109]

Great video(as usual!)! This will be perfect for the next time I feel like playing but don't have the inspiration to draw or start a journal page!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I’m so glad!

[@RickiNord]

Would this work with water based inks as well as the acrylic inks ?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I’m not sure, I’ve only used these inks. I need permanent colors for collage.

[@sandraludwig1546]

Hi, Elizabeth! I enjoyed this video very much. Now I have to get some of that tissue paper. I was wondering: Do you know if you could get the same effects using India ink instead of acrylic ink? Thank you!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Glad you liked it Sandra, I do not use India ink so I don't know, I would say to give it a try!

[@dilemmix]

Great idea. I have no acrylic ink but can I use acrylic paint instead?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

give it a try!

[@RobinGayl]

Beautiful! Have you tried using palette paper underneath the tissue paper and letting it dry on it?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

when I paint tissue I do a LOT at once so that I do not have to do it that often, so I use trash bags!

[@allthumbs3792]

LOVE that tissue paper and wow the acrylic inks are gorgeous! Can't wait to see you use them in a project.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Yes so vibrant! I was quite happy with how it turned out

[@sherryleggett1612]

I e been searching for an idea to house my stencils properly. It looks like you have found it! What do you call those clips and where did you find them, please?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Links are all listed below the video

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Look for my video on stencil storage system, and it will have links below the video and explain how I set it up!

[@simaabedini5908]

I guess I can iron this add it to another sheet of ticker paper , add Matt medium then paint more on top of it .

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

I have no idea! :)

[@barbclark69]

This was lovely, Elizabeth. What fun. Have to do a little prep for it -- the project won't fit into the 18 square inches on my desk. Thanks for the link to the paper. -Barbara

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

Take it outside! I did mine in the garage

[@Karmakat59]

Beautiful papers, love it 😍. I've only found much smaller sheets of Deli paper so I've found that using White GARBAGE BAGS (cut open and placed on Foam core boards from the Dollar store) are larger and can fit at least 2 sheets of Tissue paper on them.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

GREAT!!!

[@deborahthompson3847]

I find the difference between the front and back of the tissue very interesting as well. One side is shiny and more intensity in the colour than the front. Love playing this way. Thank you for sharing.

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

The backside gets shiny because of the way the acrylic dries on the plastic trash bag. But the backside is the side that will get glued down in my collage work, and my glue is shiny so that will go away!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

My pleasure Deborah

[@anneconaway7805]

[@barbaragriswold9894]

Thank you for you reply .I made 2 tissue paper on the bottles they came out nice I have 1 daughter who might say why are they so many wrinkles 😣. DAH that's the idea. I love them I finished 2 , more waiting for them to dry (no patients) also to old to go on Facebook .thanks again , 🤩🤩

You’ll love this! Tap tap tap how long will it take!!!

[@ginaburgess9759]

Great papers. I've done something similar in the past but found the colours moved when I used matte medium. Can't remember if I used acrylic inks though!🤣

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

If you use any acrylic product, it will not reactivate with moisture.

[@estrellabianchi707]

I love this technique. Thank you for sharing. How can the sheets be dried in cooler weather?

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

The same way, either keep them inside or wait longer.

[@kyleoliver9538]

These papers are stunning and so much fun to make. I used some to wrap small gifts for a friend who does collage, she loved them. Now making more for me. I tried black and magenta on either end and blended in the middle, very striking. Earth tones like burnt sienna and red oxide are nice too with the gold dots. Thank you for sharing this technique Elizabeth!

[@ElizabethStHilaire]

My pleasure! I’m glad you enjoyed the technique. Earth times sounds great with the gold dots!!

[@christinasmart1646]

thanks for posting, Elizabeth! I'm going to use this on an old painting that never seemed finished.

Is dry waxed paper ph neutral?

None of my papers are acid free for the most part. When I collage with them they are encapsulated in gel medium, which is archival and isolates each layer from the next.
