Love how they turned out ♥️ Thank you ♥️

I do like painting on bookpage. Noticing the different fonts and their effect on the painted page. I also like large stamps and colouring them in with ink or paint on bookpage. Thanks for sharing your techniques

I love the trees. So beautiful. ❤😊

[@brendas8934]

Hi Michele 😊 love your paintings. I really enjoy painting on old book pages, the paint gives the paper a wonderful texture and feel. I guess you have to be a "paper lover" to get it😂 thankyou for sharing and inspiring. Sending best wishes 💕

I prime mine with clear gesso and it lends a bite to the paper as well.

[@LuciaVandenbergh]

Your paintings are really beautifull,what a good idea to use old book Pages for watercolour❤️

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Grinch's hand with the broken Christmas ball!

[@mommcaden6897]

The landscapes are just gorgeous! The text adds so much to the watercolor! Love it! Thanks, Michele!!

How very lovely! Subtle but creative; simple but beautiful!

Oh wow, your paintings are wonderful...🥰

Love this! You mentioned that you were out of acrylic gouache and how expensive it is. I think you might like Blick's matte acrylics (which is what acrylic gouache is). They are around $4 for a 2 oz bottle and come in quite a variety of colors. I've enjoyed working with them. I have much more expensive brands but I find my self using the Blick brand more and more.

I was about to donate a collection of old papers but your video encouraged me to save some to paint on. Love this idea! Thank you so much!

[@woodntroutcreations]

Thank you! Especially for showing use of the white Posca marker❤️

Michele, I'm totally in love with this tutorial! I get so happy when I see a tutorial when you are sketching and/or painting. I can't even pick which one I love the most because they are all incredible. I loved watching you create your pine sprig and pinecone. To me, it looks very realistic. I have a lot of books I've purchased from the used bookstore in the hopes of one day using them to paint on. I always thought I needed to use waterground on the paper first, but now I see I don't and instead, I can just paint right on the page. You are such an inspiration. I wish I could paint with you all day!

As usual, that was so much fun. Have another gotta try to add to my ever growing list. I was working on Christmas cards today. I hear you about watching the words on your pages. I have messed up more than once. LOL. TFS ❤

[@crazycardlady]

[@corinnaandreas68]

That remember me of my Cildhood. My mother give me books to paint because we hat no other paper to paint on.

[@rosarioholmes294]

{love it

[@ErinEnoArt]

Beautiful! The one that you referred to as the eastern pine looks like a group of seven painting! Is that book paper the smooth almost coated feeling kind as opposed to the really porous kind used for paperback novels?

[@ColombosPartner]

Love your art & ideas❤Title of that book?

[@timbrant1538]

They make a clear gesso to use as an underlayment on book pages. I enjoy painting on dictionary pages. Find the objects that go along with the words.

[@GaryScott-pdx]

I was wondering why you didn't put down a primary coat of Gesso or acrylic matte medium before painting on the pages?

[@teresa-ux8db]

How did you get the pages not to curl??? ❤

[@Bridgton1]

What kind of paint is that ?
