Hi Adele, so nice to see this pop up this morning while l have my breakfast. As always you've inspired me, to use up some old watercolours paintings and make a landscape collage. Cant wait to get started. Many thanks Alioban 🤗

Super Gloss mod podge would work just as good. Used it on my front door. When wanted to change what was on front door. Had to use a paint scraper to get mod podge off. LOL 😆

@bonnieravenstar860 Ай бұрын

Mod Podge will yellow over time. It can also crack. It depends on the substrate.

@maureenburger9121 4 ай бұрын

? When I used paper collage along with acrylic paint on canvas I had a problem with the surface of the canvas denting in somewhat where the collage pieces were attached (matte medium). How would I avoid this when doing collage on canvas?

So beautiful. Can I use mod podge instead of gloss medium? Will that work?

@AdeleSypesteynStudio Жыл бұрын

Yes you can use it! I always recommend trying a few different products on your own work to see what you like best.

Is there a reason you use gloss over satin medium? Just curious. Sometimes gloss is a little much for me.

What is the advantage to using gloss medium to mat medium? I like that scraper.

@AdeleSypesteynStudio Жыл бұрын

Hi Kat! I just like it that way. I think the gloss brings a nice sheen instead of matte. But you should try things out and see what you like best!

Adele, why is it when you put collage pieces down it looks great, when I put pieces down it looks terrible? Maybe I'm too critical of my own work.

You're going to leave all that paper glued down to canvas?? I have the worst results glueing paper to canvas. The warp and bubble and refuse to lie flat.

@ArtyAntics Жыл бұрын

If the paper warps or bubbles it’s because there is too much wet for the thickness of the paper. You can try to use less glue, a slightly thicker glue (can increase drying time) or use thicker papers. I personally use collage medium by Ranger with a silicone makeup applicator to paste it on the back of the piece I’m gluing down. I don’t throw it on the canvas because it’s too wet for my style. When the layer is dry I check the edges and glue them down before I seal that layer and move on to the next one.

@athela2023 Жыл бұрын

in my experience that usually means you're using too much glue for the paper when it wrinkles up. When I wanted something to be smooth and flat with thinner paper I spread a very thin layer of glue with my finger or a brush and made sure to press/rub the paper so it was fully secured with no air bubbles. At the end of the day though, do what works best for you and makes you happy with your piece
