    Your tutorials are amazing. Thank you so much for your generosity! I’m having so much frustration with laying my papers down without bubbling. I’m using Liquitex matte medium on top as I go but when I smooth the bubbles out I’m lifting color, especially with magazine papers. Thoughts?

    Gluing magazines is tricky, and I'll add this to videos I need to create. But to answer your question, you might try putting a quick layer of matte medium on the magazine piece an let dry before you glue to your collage. Then glue it to the collage. Lightly spraying the back of the magazine with water before gluing also helps.

    I have a question for you, Catherine: if I want to make a collage on canvas, can I glue the paper directly, or do I have to prepare it somehow? Thank you if you will answer me.

  • @catrains.artist

    Yes you can glue the paper directly on the canvas. I would use something like a medium (a liquid glue) to do the gluing.

    Great idea for the next time I hold a session like this. The board is a cradled board, what I mount my collages onto. Google cradled board and this will make sense. Anything else you'd like for me to clarify?
