Transparent Acrylic Skins

[@prentisswilliams4379]

I tried this and found out two things: 1. acetate transparency sheets do NOT work; the dried gel sticks to it like crazy. Use the plastic sheet protectors. 2. Golden makes something called "self leveling clear gel" that works like a charm. It dries completely clear with no brush marks and peels off the plastic very easily. LOVE the technique!

You can also use a non-stick paint palette sold by Tri-Art. You can find it online at Amazon (and other places) and it's available in sizes 4x8" 8x12", 12x16" and 16x24". You can also find round ones by searching for non-stick palettes. They're reusable and I absolutely love mine!

[@treelore5100]

I wonder if any none stick paint palette would work? I presume the brand doesn't matter?

[@sjshapir]

Luckily, if the acetate is clear, you still get an interesting product that you can use. My transparency had printing. Made things interesting.

Simple, straight to the point! Love it! I might try this on a silicone or glass mat. 😇🩷🙏🙌

I love Patti Brady! I watch her videos and own one of her art books. I am just starting to make acrylic skins, although I use a non-stick artist palette instead of sheet protectors. I've never made them in a 2-step process but I can't wait to try it this way. Thanks for posting this video!

Lovely, I was looking for these kind of acrylic skin and I don't know which paint should use. Thank you so much

[@AkesSamenos11]

If I were to try this, I would use the skin for a journal cover! Wouldn't that be sooo nice?

[@robertterrell3065]

A great technique. Pattyi Brady's book is great! I'm thinking that the Ranger 15-Inch-by-18-Inch Inkssentials Craft Sheet will work for making skins. The description says that just about any art or craft product will peel off when dry. It's just $10.72 with Amazon Prime, and I want to make larger skins. (no I don't work for Amazon haha) I love all the techniques Jane has demo-ed on KZbin!! :)

Robert Terrell Great idea Robert I have one of those but it's covered in paint ha ha

[@amgpaints]

WOW! I am mesmerized by this technique and it’s possibilities! New sub here-looking forward to watching your other videos!✌️

[@ceciliasart502]

Love watching your videos especially when I have the materials to make what you are doing. I use non-stick aluminum foil by Reynolds Wrap. I haven't found anything that sticks to it yet.

What are the end result skin pieces pasted down with in the collage? More gloss medium? Thanks

[@LottieSue]

How did you do that? My paint came out in huge globs, it spit and did a hit and miss kind of thing. I used the same kind of paint. Is it moving fast that is best?

[@smartalec8855]

Thanks for the tips Jane Your work is awesome too!

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Brilliant! Just found you on Judi Herwitt's blog. This is definitely a technique to try.

[@leefox2199]

[@ithinklikeacow]

[@deborahgarretson653]

I love this.

[@yasamanhoorfar5205]

I was wondering if i could also use this on a canvas?

[@markfisher8115]

+YaSaman HF I use this on wood panels. You could use canvas for this.

Mind=Blown!

[@jamespoppitz3336]

Good work

[@hipretty]

Ooooooh I loved this! :-) TFS!!!

[@Everywhere2]

What Shannon said... x2!!!

[@akartisan]

you can also do this on white plastic garbage bags that have been taped down smooth and they will peel o ff. Some people have said to use glass, but if the glass or plexiglass has any scratches in it, it will stick. I use a plastic knife to loosen the edge, then it usually peels right up.

You can also use a non-stick paint palette sold by Tri-Art. You can find it online at Amazon and it's available in sizes 4x8" 8x12", 12x16" and 16x24". You can also found round ones by searching for non-stick palettes. They're reusable, which is much better than wasting garbage bags. I have a few of them and I absolutely love them!
