How To Transform a Painting with Collage and Mixed Media

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This week's KZread video features a painting makeover! Watch me transform a watercolour painting into a beautifully layered collage, blending different papers, mark-making, and even stitching. I hope this video inspires you to revive your old, unfinished artwork. Share your thoughts in the comments and let me know if you'd like to see another piece undergo a transformation!

It was amazingly helpful to have you walk through the process of making over the old painting and seeing how much your changes improved the work. Loved it and yes, please show us more examples of making over old paintings that didn't quite work. 🙃😊🥰😘

    Where do you buy deli paper from in Australia?

  • @LauraHornArt

    @LauraHornArt

    12 күн бұрын

    Greaseproof paper is called deli paper in the US. It's used primarily for wrapping sandwiches and isn't suitable for putting in the oven. Mine isn't as transparent as I like, so I might try another brand. The one I have at the moment is the Armarda brand from Woolworths. You can also get deli paper in some craft shops that is imported from the US. It's more expensive, though, and pretty similar to what is called "greaseproof paper" in Australia. I hope that helps!
