Jackie, does the name "Jackie Schomburg" sound right to you? She does all the grid work you are talking about and her collages are simply amazing!!! Hope this helps? P.S. She is TH-cam.

High flow paints also bead up....and create a nice texture

Thank you for this video; very informative, but I do have a question: you do not address fixatives, varnishes and othe sealants. What are you thoughts? I used mostly acrylics and soft pastels.

for the medical exam paper there are 3 choices white white smooth and white crepe which one is right

This was an amazing video to watch Jackie.Absolutley stunning art, learning so much watching you, bringing me so much joy.I will give a try to doing a small acrylic skin.Thanks so much for sharing.❤

Watched loads of your videos on the tv Jackie, so enjoyable to watch your process .You put so much work into these , they are absolutely gorgeous.Given me so much enjoyment.Thank you.❤

What brand is your apron? Great videos ❤

Like a encaustic covering

So helpful to me right now. I'm working on some art books and wondering what is the best medium (?) to keep the papers from sticking to one another. Timely and as usual, really helpful. Thanks Jackie!

I had great success with faux encaustic effect using transparent gesso, but my last attempt with matte gel medium was a bust 🙁 The gel stayed milky opaque even when it dried, and my background is barely visible. I was so disappointed because theres a few pieces of ephemera in the background that I don't have another copy of. I tried sanding it down, but it didn't bring it back. The opacity probably depends on the brand since you used about the same thick layer as I did. (We don't have Golden in my EU country.)

You're such an inspiration thank you for sharing your passion, play, & process so generously 💝

I save my cereal bags and cut them down to size in between sticky journal pages. It’s “free”

Great to see all of your color combos! Music was so meditative and soothing and then …. About 1/2 way thru u switch to something jarring and way too loud. Not sure why …. But thank goodness I could turn the volume off :-)

Excellent thank you. I found that very useful.

Hi, this was revolutionary for my newbie collage self!!! Such a great idea to experiment, layout, etc before making the full commitment. I learned so so so much, thank you!!!!

You are such a delight! Please tell me someone has by now told you you are a Zen artist! That “zone out intuitive place” you go to while making your marks?? That’s meditation!

Hi Jacki. Great video! I just bought and used Dorlands Wax on a collaged journal I made from papers I painted. It worked great! You mentioned that there are other uses for the wax in the art room. Can you share some of the other uses! I know it lasts a long time so I’d love to know other ways I can use it. Thanks so much!

very helpful, thanks

I cannot for the life of me get my gelli plate clean. Any advice? Thank you

Can i use the wax on chulk, pastel, and oil pastel? Would it smudge the work? Thank you!

You can also use Dorland's Wax on watercolour, I used an abstract watercolour experimental piece to create a new cover for a damaged sketchbook, the Dorland's worked great!

What will you use on your current project in your cookbook?

I am new to geli printing, and after a great deal of research and discovering Your TH-cam tutorials, whichI have found to be the most instructive-thank you. You are so very generous in sharing your knowledge and experience with us so freely. I wonder if you might help me with a frustrating problem: I have been following tutorials for one-pull multilayers with stencils - but my prints will not pull of the pad. There is just a heavy plastic mat of paint that refuses to move. I am using acrylic paint (I'm an artist) some of which is high viscosity. Could it be the paint is too thick and heavy? Maybe I have applied the paint too heavily? Could you please help?

I have absolutely no problem with sticking as long as I use matte medium. If I use gloss medium, everything sticks.

Very good to know. I have a lot of sticky ness going on.

Hi Jackie, thank you so much for answering this. I’ve managed to find Dorlands wax on Jackson’s art supplies here in the UK and will be giving it a go. Not sure if this is useful and I hope you don’t mind me mentioning, another artist I follow, the lovely Helen Wells, is big on sketch books for her art practice and uses sennelier acrylics. She mentions that as they are more of a matte finish they prevent journal pages from sticking. I have heard other creatives who use matte based acrylics or acrylic gouache say something similar however they are more expensive and maybe limiting. I guess finding a brand to suit is part of the creative journey. As I’m still experimenting and have a very a small budget, the Dorlands wax will be super useful to add to my art supplies. 🙏🏻 Looking forward to the next sketchbook instalment. Have a fabulous week 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻

Jackie, I just came across you again. I just love your videos!!!!! Thank you! Don’t Quit!!!!! Have Faith in yourself your on the right track!!!!!!!!!

I just love your video! This is my first time experiencing your talents. Bravo!!!!!

Very helpful video, Jackie, thank you! I saw several people mentioned wax paper and I have a related question. I like to press my collages under weights while they're drying to keep them flat. They often have a top coat of matte medium, or have matte medium on the tissue paper I've collaged onto the piece. So far I've been using wax paper to keep the wet acrylic matte medium from sticking to the weight as the collage dries, but sometimes the wax paper will stick to the collage. Is there anything better (more non-stick) that I can use that wet matte medium won't stick to?

Thanks so much for this video.. much needed here. Mine is full of wax paper!

I love Dorland’s wax. It works beautifully. Baking parchment works well for not quite dry projects.

What kind of paper is this if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve really been enjoying your channel and all your helpful tutorials! I get confused about the thinner papers; onion skin, heavy duty tissue (water resistant 🤔 I know those names are all wrong-hopefully you know what I mean 😉), teabag paper, etc. I have a few but this seems like a copy type, computer paper and I enjoy the look!

Parchment paper can also be used to protect the pages. I haven’t tried it when the sketchbook heats up, but otherwise a piece works well.

yikes i went a biyt too crazy and made mud. lol.

It should be noted that once you apply Dorland wax, adding additional water based paint will be in jeopardy as the wax is an oil based product. It actually serves as a varnish on finished work.

ii'm using pan pastel colorless blender w/a dense ink pad/makeup blender brush... works sorta like cornstarch without the messiness...

Good video.

Dorland's is an excellent idea. I've been using deli paper, which works, but makes my sketchbooks fat and the deli paper is kind of a pain to manage when perusing my sketchbook. I am going to use Dorland's, a jar of which is sitting right next to my painting table. Thanks for the idea.

Great information, thanks Jackie!

Thank you... great Informations! Most of the time I have placed baking paper between the pages to prevent them ...

Question…for the one you used the wax on, do you wax both pieces of art that are facing each other, or waxing one is enough? TFS your expertise!

I love the size of the sketchbook! What kind is it and where can I get one?

Hello Jackie Thanks for your great tips.Can you tell me... Is mat medium varnish enough or cold wax should be put on top...or eventually under? 😊Do in Paris 🗼✈️🙏👋

I swear by Dorland's wax. Not only does it protect, but it also makes the colors richer and more intense.

So pleased to watch your process to collaging the papers, strips, circles, working in with the pens. I have lots of papers and have not felt free enough to rip and tear and try to make things. Would love to see more like this. Thank you!

I would never thought to use cornstarch, so thanks for that great tip! Inexpensive, too! I've seen artists use the cold wax to buff and seal large acrylic paintings for a gorgeous, protective finish. Thanks, Jackie!! xoxoxo

Thank you for your generous sharing of techniques, I’ve been painting for many years and continue to learn something new each time I view your videos. I do wonder how you keep your hands so clean. I try gloves, liquid gloves and no gloves and usually end up a mess. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. thanks again

You're such an excellent teacher, Jackie! And a bit of a scientist, too. Enjoy your weekend!

Awesome. TFS. Have a great day.❤

Great info! I've used wax paper on occasion.
