A really creative approach to getting papers that will create sufficient contrast against very rich, jewel tones. Very, very useful ideas!

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

Thank you so much 😀

[@juliaarmato3984]

Sometimes I do pieces that are very subtle. It all depends on the focal point I want to use. They would make very nice backgrounds, adding whatever hue you feel like emphasizing. God bless

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

It's just nice to have them in your stash so you have them ready to use. Thanks for watching.

Really love this technique - can't wait to try it. Thank you.

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

You are so welcome! Also try it with darker colors.

[@teresaroberts3544]

What type of brayer are you using?

[@SusanCliftonArtist]

The one I like is the speedball brayer with the red handle. I don't remember which one I was using in this video but I also have 2 black brayers and I like the way they clean. They are cheaper and can be found at Blick.
