[@TamaraRoberts]

You didn't sum up after the actual collage..... did you still have the same conclusions regarding which papers were more translucent?

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

You're right; I completely forgot to do that 😳. The answer is yes, they did perform beautifully and exactly as on the chart. The medical exam paper even allowed transparency with multiple overlapping layers 🥰@@TamaraRoberts

[@TamaraRoberts]

thanks for clarifying! 😘@@PaintedPaperStudio

[@AprilMayb]

You said you were going to post links to all the paper with recommendations I don’t see that anywhere

[@maryellensanger]

Oh - I'm up for it, Shirley! Thanks for the great idea 🥰

[@brittahansen8688]

Oh my dear, Jackie 🤩 You really are methodical and systematic in this video and I love it. Watching you making marks is always a pleasure anyway, because I can see the fun that you have while doing it. I´ve already used delipaper for making marks and it served my purposes well. But in this video you are definitely lifting the experiments to a higher level. Overworking your video was obviously worth it. Thank you so much for sharing the results. You are inspiring. Love from Britta 🥰

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Awwwww, thank you, Britta. I am so much happier this week. Not only how the video turned out, but the mark making and collage, too! Thank you, as always, for your lovely words. 🥰

[@PaulaMion]

I bought the medical exam paper and YES, when you wet it then past it, it is transparent. I did two side by side one wet and the other not and got the same results, the dry one was only translucent. I just wanted to thank you again for all the work you put in this experiment, I think the result is a game changer. I never really liked the look of the translucent. This is great!!! I also found two rolls 14" x 225' for 16$, I'm not sure if the 225' is per roll or combined though. Either way, it's a lot of paper for the price. And, I used it on my gelli plate and it pulls of nicely! IT'S A WIN WIN!! Thanks again!!! OHH I almost forgot, I applied the paint to the side that has a little texture on it. Not sure yet it that will make any difference or not.

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

I love hearing this, Paula - experiment away! I don't think it will make a difference which side you painted on, but if it does, please let me know. 🥰

Hi Jackie. I have had such fun making small collages. You are such an inspiration. The concept of juxtaposition makes it somewhat cohesive. I can see how valuable these small collages will be for future inspiration. Thank you!

YESSSSS!!!!! That's exactly what I hope everyone will do. I have all sorts of reference boards around the studio (and in the garage 😉) Get to it, Reni! 🥰

[@deniselovell1096]

I did my own board a couple of days ago with the various types of paper I use and it will be a valuable reference. I had done a similar experiment before following instructions from the artist Sally Hirst but that was to make loose strips (peeled off when dry to compare transparency/translucency).

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

@@deniselovell1096 - I am so happy you made your own board! Sally had a really clever idea - I may create some loose strips to hold up against pieces I'm working on. Thanks for sharing. 🥰

[@lucyleereuther7594]

Jackie, This was an exciting, fascinating and thought provoking video. I want to try all of these things! When I was working (many years ago) on my art BFA lessons were much more structured & traditional with little room for experimentation, so all of your videos speak to me in a new language. You have a great teaching style and once I finish watching a session I can understand the process so clearly. Keep doing these great sessions.

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Thank you very much LucyLee - this means so much to me. The traditional teachings rarely landed on me in a way that got me excited. Experimenting and exploring light me up and I'm so happy it works for you, too. 🥰

This was incredibly helpful, Jackie. I learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to do this and share it with all of us watching. Using gloss medium instead of matte medium is something I hadn't considered, nor applying it with water. I viewed it over the weekend and am heading upstairs to play with these techniques now. Very excited! Thank you again!

Hope you will write a book one day. ~Terri 😊 Alabama

You are so sweet - I don't know if I have a book in me, but I'll keep an open mind about it 😄. Do you recall where you saw the snippet you are referring to? I haven't worked with gouache in over 25 years, so I'm wondering if maybe it was a different paint? 🥰

[@peterblaise]

Fascinating experiment with transparent/translucent papers. I will definitely try this myself. I enjoy rice and tissue papers - but have never tried coffee filters, teabag paper, doctor's office paper and the others. So much to explore! Also - were you collating in a recipe cookbook? Do you do that often - use books to collage in? I was curious about that. My name is Liz, btw. Thanks.

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Hi Liz! Yes, the collage was placed in an old cookbook and I love using it for that purpose. I used to collect cookbooks - I had a couple hundred! When I started to simplify it was time to release them. Unfortunately, libraries really don't want old and obscure cookbooks. I was able to give away many, but the rest I saved for "sketchbooks" this way the don't end up in a landfill (at least not for a long time). The pages of this cookbook are thick and satin-y. A perfect substrate to play on. I highly encourage it. As for the papers you haven't tried yet, be prepared to fall in love with them 🥰

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Hi Lena! Thank you for your lovely words and for watching the video. 🥰

[@lichenmoss2383]

As a beginner, I'm always looking for different substrates to play with. Re the medical exam paper; I instantly googled where to buy in Australia, no luck, so I tried normal tissue paper (very fiddly) I've recently found Greaseproof Paper in a supermarket and it looks similar to the medical exam stuff. Maybe this has been tried already but thought I'd post it here in case it helps anyone. There is the waxed side and a non-waxed side. I experimented similarly to what you did and it is translucent (not sure about totally transparent). Thank you

[@PaintedPaperStudio]

Hi Lichen! I have discovered that the paper is called different things in different countries. I just googled it for Australia and this is what came back - exam table paper, doctor roll, or medical table paper. Another really good alternative (more translucent than greaseproof) is teabag paper. You are 100% right - regular tissue paper is too fiddly, and (in my opinion, impossible to use. Thank you so much for watching and sharing! 🥰

What an amazing exploration you have done here Jackie…and it is perfect timing for me as I have been learning collage and wanting to incorporate transparent and translucent papers and wasn’t sure which papers would be best to use. I have tissue, deli, rice, teabag, wet strength tissue and now I need coffee filter paper and medical exam paper. Also LOVE the idea of using silicone candy molds for mark making! If this is the video you mentioned in last week’s newsletter, it was well worth waiting for 💕

Love the chart… running to the studio to make my own! At 17 ish min there is a little clip of a podcast or something. Thought you would want to know

I'm so happy you're going to make your own chart, Cole. For some reason the voiceover audio dropped out at that moment, and I didn't catch it before uploading. Once uploaded there's nothing you can do. Thank you for letting me know though. 🥰
