The whole time you were painting the water lilies I kept thinking those are such beautiful water lilies and was so happy to see you finished it as a painting!! Love the mood of it and I hope you frame it as it is really a beautiful serene painting!! If you don't already have some canvasses you better get some and keep channeling your inner Monet. 🎨

[@neorachana5604]

Chuckled when you started the last one, thinking one would never know you had recently been to a Monet exhibit! 😸

[@hartlanegallery]

Nick, frame the water lilies painting after you photograph it for reproduction. It is stunning. Please do not cut it up keep it intact! Mary at Hart Lane Studio

[@ninetteburns3258]

Loved the water lilies! It was not “like painting.” It WAS painting!

[@NiktheBooksmith]

😄 thanks, Ninette!

[@sharonalicea7998]

Took the words of my mouth! This one turned out gorgeous!!!

[@deejcarter2003]

Im Loving these so much. And the water Lily’s would make a wonder book cover. Yes scan it and put in in the store please😍

[@katpaints]

SO fun!!! One of my favorite play dates with my old calligraphy teacher and some others was spent making paste papers! She got access to her class room at the community college where she taught so there was a lot of large surface to work upon. I do not think we got the paper moist to do it. It has been close to 20 years ago so I might be a bit hazy in that. We did make a gallon of wallpaper paste and with maybe 10 of us pasting up a storm, there was still a lot left over! It was a hot summer's day. The doors to the deck were open and clean stones were available to keep those papers from flying away. I tried a lot of different weight papers and the lighter ones were the best for actually using. The heavier cardstock cracked when covering books. I regret that I have not done it since! By the time I was done, I had figured out a lot of ways to get the color down. I still have a lot of them - need to refresh myself on this! Oh, and I adore your venture into water lilies! That kind of thing absolutely would make fabulous end papers! I was wondering if any had torn in the process and was definitely hoping that THIS would make it! Fun, fun, fun!!!!

[@rneustel388]

They’re so gorgeous, and the last one belongs in a frame!!

[@YarnHappenswithMaryann]

Great pieces. The Lily pad painting is gorgeous and should be framed! I love it!

[@deborahburcham7630]

Wow! I knew you were a fabulous booksmith, but OMG! Where have you been hiding this amazing artist? Love love love it! You must be a big Monet fan. You water lilies painting is just beautiful!

[@lisahatch2649]

The water lillies was a masterpiece

[@rebeccam.riordan7165]

wow, move over Monet! I don’t think I’ve ever seen paste used as an actual painting medium before. Well, now I know what I’ll be doing this weekend… Thank you so much for sharing your studio with the world, Nik. I always enjoy your videos

[@aptwalker2009]

They are all beautiful, but your "Monet" is stunning! Thanks for sharing this technique.

[@jaytee2642]

Nik Nik!! OMG NIK!!😲😲 Is there anything that you CAN'T do?? I'll bet you can tune a '57 Chevy, can't you? C'mon, you can tell us. And you're probably a helicopter pilot, too. And a ballerina. Seriously, I am stunned by your neverending list of talents. The water lily painting was beyond amazing. 🎨 Color me gobsmacked.

[@angierahui]

This brought me back to my childhood making these with flour, water & powdered paint. Anyway love your Monet inspired art, thank you Nik x

[@Eversew139]

Is this how you “Monetize” a video? He he, very cool Nik. A unexpected treat.

[@NiktheBooksmith]

BAHAHHAHAA! yes, its the best way 🤣

[@iamdawt]

I'm hoping we'll see your waterlilies in your Etsy store in the future. I really enjoyed watching that unfold. All of your papers turned out so cool and I can't wait to see you use a few of them in your books. Thank you SO MUCH for your ideas!

[@tharp2499]

omgosh, Nik! Funny you said "Monet". Exactly what I thought as I watched you painting the lily pond. Very relaxing to watch, btw. Only you could create a nod to Monet out of 'wallpaper paste'.😍 Just beautiful! ALL of them!! Can't wait to make my own mess. Tfs.💗💗💗

[@lori88ish]

When you were doing the water lilies I was saying must be inspiration from Monet and had to laugh when you added that in. I think it turned out fabulous, I will be trying this for sure just looks like being a kid again and having fun, only wish I could do it at someone else s house as I am such a messy crafter. Thanks a bunch for the share Hugs and Smiles

[@wvlizzy]

The last one of the water lilies is beautiful. You should frame it!!!♥️

[@AzaleaLala]

Just wow wow wow! The papers are amazing, but your water lily painting (I'm calling it a painting) was truly inspired. Inspired by Monet. Gorgeous!

[@ruthannamarteifio9069]

These are lovely-----And the lilies are so fantastic----I, also, love Monet! Thanks, Nik! :)

[@reppeplucw]

Love all these -- it looks like so much fun! One of my favorites was the green with cross hatch that you then did finger paint swirls - Stunning! Am very impressed with your Monet! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

[@carolyoung3793]

A Monet painting in the making absolutely beautiful and mesmerising tfs xx

[@GraceTransitions]

The goopy 'Water Lillie's" was awesome!

[@Tar7560]

I love the last one you did. While you painting it, I thought you were channeling your inner Monet. Lol love them all. Thank you so much for sharing this technique.

[@mafish7962]

Lovely pages! Tfs, Laura ❤

[@carol.tinson-paper.crafts]

Your Monet esk needs to in a frame and hung on the wall - Love it!

[@carmenrodriguez9380]

Oh my you had me mesmerized with technique. I have been looking for something that I can do with my limitations and I believe this is it, thank you wow

[@marlenejones6266]

I'm like you i have limits but this looks like so much fun....we can make journals of our paintings...or a calendar..or just hang em all over the house. Lol

[@penelopemarshall6320]

Nik Monet!!! Turned out wonderful, love it. ❤😊

[@DreamyBohemian]

Nik, I was having fun watching you dabble and THEN you started on the water lillies and I was transfixed! One day I want to stand in front of the real deal. Monet is my ultimate favorite...thanks for the treat 💜 you made my day! Beautiful job 💜💜💜

[@kathleenseligmytatterednto8560]

Nik these are awesome and I'm a Monet lover as well so that was great watching you create your own water lillies! Thanks for sharing this idea with us!

[@vivianbunch1963]

You are an amazing artist! I enjoyed watching you paint these beautiful papers especially the water lilies👍❤️

[@mariep-MAPAT]

Hi Nik, I LOOOOOVE your take on Monet's waterlilies!!!! Love, love, love it!! Oh, did I mentioned I love it? Lol! And please, yes make it a printable! Hugs from Belgium!

[@jackiehiaring7805]

Oh what a fun mess they're beautiful. Such a wonderful inexpensive project

[@suzyemery]

You are such a great artist, Nik!! Such amazing talent! One of the lillies appears to have a little frog sitting on it...well looking at it on my tablet...anyway, GREAT job!! Thanks for taking us along! 😍 Suzy

[@JORLA2854]

Funny experience ! I didn't know this technique ! beautiful !

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Wow Wow Wow!!! Love them all! Well, I've had Monet in my head too, but nothing like this ever eventuated! Beautiful! Thanks for showing this... I'd never heard of it before but I'd give this a go rather than marbling.

[@WistfulCreative]

Monet was definitely inspiring...so beautiful! I have seen a Monet exhibition several years ago at the Knox Gallery in Buffalo, New York. It has been many years since I've made paste papers, can't wait to revisit this craft. Thank you for sharing!

[@claudettemiskell2763]

Each time, at some point, I would screech, “oh no, she’s botched this one!” and my husband would look up and say, “don’t you think you’re the one who’s botched?”, but every time you pulled it off. I’m amazed! I’ve seen, and even done some paste paper, but most of it looked like kindergarten art. That last one should go into a frame, not in a book. All of them had a repetition that didn’t seem possible. Go ahead and photocopy the last one, but then definitely put it in a frame! Bless you darlin’❣️🙏🏼

[@clc3897]

I love your courage in trying a Monet... it came out very well. Once you scan it you can always manipulate the textures and colors to enhance it even more. Goopy paint seems to be a very good medium for all sorts of fun things.

[@melissakinnear828]

How FUN was that?! I think you may have been bitten by the Monet bug though LOL!! He'd be proud of your work. 🙂Thank you !

[@tearalewis7532]

That water image is beautiful! I am for sure doing this! I could not bring myself to add another expense and lots of additional supplies to do marbling stuff, though I really wanted to. But this I can handle! Now to create a work station I can get messy, because if its messy, I will make it 10 times worse. Lol Thanks for the intro to this!

[@kayceeriva322]

Thank you so much for sharing! I have a question...what is the texture of the paper when its all dry? Sandy? Smooth? Thanx again!

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

Ahh. Monet reborn! Lovely! I’m doing some messes tomorrow.🇨🇦❤️🙏✌️

[@nancybochsler8947]

Thank you so much for sharing this method with us!! Very cool and I can't wait to try it. And I loved the water lilies.....so beautiful!

[@DASBookbinding]

Really like the water lily paper!

[@becky1789]

Just sign it nik and send it to me!!.......love all and I will be trying this your such a talented woman thank you so much for sharing....❤️

[@freidagepner2370]

Wow Nik that painting is awesome. I loved watching you create it. So impressed.

[@parisnchristlove]

These are so cool, Nik! Love the water lilies, but a question...did you have a preference for one of the gloopy paints over the other? If you were going to have another paste paper day, which recipe would you rather use? Or were they pretty much the same? Thanks for the videos Nik, I’m inspired! *hugs*

[@crosezrose]

Wow Nik those papers are gorgeous! Then when you made the Monet inspired painting, you blew me away! It's stunning! Thank you so much for sharing this process with us!!

[@krissmith8857]

Gorgeous water lilies! Monet would be proud! We got to visit the Monet water lilies in Paris. Sooo beautiful!!!

[@bettejowelton7459]

I have tried other methods for paste paper which I enjoyed but am looking forward to trying this. This method offers more variety of results. And yes, I also knew that the water lilies were inspired by your museum visit. Very nice.

[@NorthlightsStudio]

Love this! Just heard about paste paint paper today! Going to try this! Thanks!

[@AlpacaMade]

Second time I've watched this, don't think I commented previously. I've been pondering what technique to use for some masters; bingo! Thanks Nik ;)

[@rivetingglance]

Beautiful and I love the “Monet” too!

[@MoniqueAO888]

Wow, the painting is stunning !!! ...and all the patterns are great as well... 🙂

[@jenmcginnis3989]

Totally loved everything but the waterlillies one was amazing.

[@teresatucker3846]

Gee, I wish I could gloopy paint like you. Great job!!!

[@susanbass3450]

beautiful. which product do you like working with better? cornstarch or wall paper paste

[@FayeTouve]

LOVE the Monet water lilies! I imagine you will be painting them in your sleep too! Beautiful painting.

[@lureesspace]

I loved your pond with the water lilies. It was so cool watching you create that beautiful scenery. People would pay a mint for a painting like that.

[@kamalimasters5287]

TFS Nic your truly amazingly inspirational 😚♥️

[@ljc.youtube]

This looks like a fun thing to try. I can see the Monet exhibit in your paintings, nice.

[@sandrachandler8698]

The water lilies would really, really look good in a fabric. Just saying.

[@cksaporta]

Beautiful, who knew that the rabbit hole had a Monet exhibit!!! Thanks Nik for adding beauty to a dreary day here in the midwest :)

[@janislf7584]

Will these by any change crackle or crack when dried or folded in half? Thank you in advance for your reply Nik.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

I really like the one that looks like roads! I saw somebody on KZbin do this with Aladine Izink paste and it didn't come out as well as yours. The woman said that stuff was very sticky. It seemed almost too dry. She had a hard time making marks in it. I think Izink is made to dry quickly, so I guess it would need to be watered down first before putting it onto the paper.

[@lmarteen2778]

All are gorgeous, but the monet was my favorite!'❤

[@annalba]

Love the water Lillies Reminds me of my pond I do love my Lillies, I love the dendritic papers & all the swirly ones, I am going to have to Clear a place to do this , I remember making it with Flour as a Kid in school Finger painting. Thank you for this.

[@LeeAnnH7878]

I've just come across these and they are lovely! This style of video.... I like it too!

[@wendyduwe3995]

The water lily one is my favourite! Beautiful and so creative!

[@suzysholar5151]

Those water lilies are incredible! I kept thinking it was a lot of work on plain paper! Gorgeous!!

[@peaceofpaperbindery]

The water lily pond is GORGEOUS

[@ayapomstra3283]

The papers are great and i love your painting and i love your video as always. Loving wishes

[@Meanne77]

I am more likely to try this than marble paper, at least the cornstarch version! I don't have space to dry the sheets of paper, though (or only one at a time, if I don't cook, but that would really be too troublesome) so maybe more in summer where I can put the paper outside to dry in the garden. TFS, this is great! :)

[@camillanilsson2460]

Monet couldn't do it any better. Really beautiful painting.

[@tammyparkerson4374]

You are a talented painter! Beautiful water lilies, and beautiful paste paper. I think I need to go make a mess!

[@lisak7677]

You killed it, girl... they're fabulous!

[@CarolMartineArt]

A feast of goopie and slidie, Nik. Yea, you....Carol

[@miriammoore1261]

Watered down school glue will have the same effect with just a bit more control.

[@bonnienevills401]

Wow you are amazing love the water lilies they are all gorgeous Hugs Bonnie

[@lalagamma4452]

Beautiful water lilies. It's all cool! TFS Nik! 💜🌻☯️💙🦋🕉️💚🐞💛🐌

[@tuthillg]

Gorgeous water lilies! Very cool paste papers! Lots of fun! TFS the inspiration!

[@jneigler]

Such great designs! And the water lilies painting is very pretty.

[@49Nutmeg]

About how long did it take for the papers to dry? And I have to say you are a brave woman and an inspiration!

[@debrastone3536]

Your Painting is beautiful! You should frame it 😃

[@TanBraeDesigns]

I am amazed by, and officially envious of your talent!

[@PaperTerrace]

Loved this!

[@jennygee9849]

[@corynnesaunders1243]

Other than beautiful water lollies how is paste paper used

[@happymaker2243]

Beautiful papers. The water lillies are amazing!

[@JessicaHarris]

So fun! Do you have to scrape the dried flour/cornstarch off ?

[@jillcoldwater1673]

Do you have a preference over the cornstarch recipe or the wallpaper paste?

[@LedgerAndLace]

OMG--Oh, Monet Goodness!!! GENIUS! Scan and print, digi-kit those waterlilies. My dad used to watch an artist on PBS and at some point he would say, "And now, you take your Almighty Fan Brush. . . . " LOVE this!!! :-)

[@NiktheBooksmith]

gotta love a fan brush...or 12 of them!
