☕️ Painting Studio Ghibli scenes + Trying Out Stone Paper

Hello there 👋🏻
Welcome and welcome back to a new video!!
This video uses a completely new type of paper, that was paper made from stone. A paper that is tear-resistant, waterproof, and eco-friendly; because no tree was cut down. It was a whole different experience to anything I've ever had. I have had an interesting process of working with this paper. However there are some art tools that I can't use on paper yet. If you've used this paper, let me know in the comments if it works well with other art tools (like watercolors, alcohol markers,...). Hope you enjoyed this video btw 😊
You can find the sketchbook that I used in this video here: etchedstonepap...
I hope you enjoyed painting with me. Leave a like and a comment down below if you liked the video and as always thank you so much for watching ❤️
Lots of love,
Meeco

I've never seen an artist use stone paper or heard of it. The painting is beautiful, this was very relaxing.

[@meecoart]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊🌼 Thank you so much

[@Jdoll991]

But you know this is literally like plastic paper, its made up of rocks, so it's not recyclable. Rocks are not biodegradable and they are worse than plastic. there is a reason paper is made from trees

[@80sforever3]

@@Jdoll991 it is meant to be reuse over and over. No need to throw them out

[@gaysara]

@@Jdoll991 Rocks are not worse than plastic... Rocks are a natural part of the Earth. Also these papers do biodegrade in sunlight, as they are very light sensitive. However, if you want to actually talk about a problem, these types of paper do use a small amount of plastic as a binding agent and that plastic doesn't biodegrade and it isn't natural (like rocks are). Quick Google search told me all this, idk where you're getting your information from.

[@IunaIia]

The painting turned out so well! I had always been curious how stone paper takes to paint given its waterproofness after watching a Peter Draws video featuring stone paper.

[@meecoart]

Thank you so much 😊🌼 I find it works well with gouache, I'm curious how it will work with watercolors

[@anarobles9795]

this is the first time i see an artist use stone paper, that's so cool! it's an underrated invention

I looked at the link you provided for the sketchbook and I LOVE what the company is doing to help the environment- you even get to choose where a portion of the proceeds go from your purchase, to benefit a charitable cause like protecting animals. This is a purchase I can enthusiastically get behind, thank you for sharing 🙏🏽

[@user-rt6td8ke1o]

The picture looks so good! I can't imagine how nice it feels to hold your sketchbook in hands and run through it, pure satisfaction *~*

[@shannonolivas9524]

I looked it up, it's a mix of stone dust and hdpe plastic or other resin. Non-biodegradeable. It should be waterproof when you think about it since it's plastic. It is true that it uses less carbon to produce, because it's plastic and stone dust, but any ecological claim beyond the carbon used to make it and lack of bleach is specious at best. Having said that, you did a lovely job painting this.

[@meecoart]

I think it's not really as eco-friendly as I thought it would be. But even so, the softness of the paper still amazes me. Thank you so much 😊🌼

[@ritawilbur7343]

There's also the vast amounts of water used to produce pulp paper, whereas this uses none. Also, Etched gets their stone completely from construction waste - whereas some other stone paper companies mine theirs. I'm still skeptical of the environmental claims, but it does seem to have some points in its favor. I'm still concerned about the plastic used, though.

[@cgilbert210]

It came out so cute. The paint looked so creamy and smooth. That tape peel was very satisfying.

[@meecoart]

Thank you so much 😊🌼 I'm glad you like it

[@atelier_nona]

Wow, what an interesting product! I’ve heard of stone paper before and I never thought about trying it, but now I want a sketchbook like this myself! It seems to be very smooth which suits graphical and flat art styles perfectly. The illustration is very well done, as always! You’re so good at recreating Ghibli’s iconic scenes!

[@meecoart]

Although it's not perfect, but I like it more than I thought. I'm pretty sure I'll be using this sketchbook often. Glad you enjoyed it 😊🌼 Thank you so much

[@uk5879]

the colours look really wonderful on that paper :)

[@meecoart]

[@annoying818]

Lol. With this, you can just pour water onto the paper when you use a pen and want to erase it. Washes it off and the paper stays dry. Amazing.

[@meecoart]

Yes, and I think I won't have to worry about accidentally spilling water or coffee on the paper, unless my color hasn't dried yet 😂

[@anjapinkau3737]

The painting turned out great! Thank you for sharing. I want to try out stone paper and this gives me an impression how it works with gouache. I usually hate it when KZbinrs use background music because it is very often annoying and distracting. But in this case it really fits to the painting. Very relaxing.

[@keivholding]

Omg the peeling of the tape was so satisfying on this paper 🤤

[@meecoart]

This is the first time I can peel the tape without having to worry about tearing the paper, really satisfied with this 😆

[@peacenlovegirl1]

So beautiful work of art! I love black cats so much 😍😍😍

[@yesssgirlbeauty]

looking at the finish product and how it started it was flawless the paper is actually amazing to see it did not bleed out at the back did not absorb the color like tissue .... I love the paper stone or stone paper and definitely will reconsider buying one for myself nice painting loved it ....

[@meecoart]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊🌼 Thank you so much

[@emoemi907]

Oh this stone paper would be great for a travel or hiking journal!!

[@barrybeebenson4274]

Just come across this and I love it! Subscribed! I bought my own gouache paints for the first time not too long ago, it’s Artists like you who have inspired me, I love how solid and smooth gouache is, how they can look exactly like an animation such as studio Ghibli ❤️

[@samicovis4711]

I also use stone paper for paintings once in awhile! I especially like them when I’m using Poscas because I have a hard time finding paper that is thick enough for them but also smooth. I love how smooth the paper is and how it doesn’t warp at all! But it can be streaky sometimes like you said because it doesn’t hold onto the paint super well. Your painting turned out so beautiful!! 💛

[@meecoart]

Yes, I had to apply 2 layers of color to make it look more opaque and leave no paint streaks on the paper. Maybe I will try a full drawing with Posca pen on this stone paper. Thank you so much 😊🌼

I wish I could buy the entire Holbein rich palette and not have to mix anything.

I remember hearing about a stone paper company a while back, but read that their paper contains not only stone but also a small amount of plastic, which probably takes away from the ecofriendlyness a bit. I wonder which paper type, stone or woodpulp or cotton, is the most eco friendly.

[@meecoart]

I'm not sure if it's plastic or not, on their website it doesn't mention this. But if have the type of paper doing with cotton, I would love to try it 😊

have you tried Yasumoto Mineral paper? It's also a non-tree alternative. I don't think it's vegan friendly as I've seen no words to support it. It takes all sorts of wet/dry mediums and is also tear resistant. Fun stuff.

[@meecoart]

Oh I've never heard of that kind of paper. It's hard to find a really eco-friendly paper from now
