    Isn’t there specific tape that stretches better for curves?

      It is a potential solution. I find that it can be hard to remove from canvas.

  • @mixedmediamasters
    @mixedmediamasters 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

    What a great question! I would recommend NOT gessoing over an oil painted surface for 2 reasons 1. Oil paint doesn't stick well to a gessoed surface, and 2. If you put gesso over oil paint (especially fresh oil paint) it will most likely crack in those areas as the oil paint oils are still active.

  • @terrimetcalf3378
    @terrimetcalf3378 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Does this process work for old oil paintings or only acrylic paintings? My understanding is that you can't put water based acrylic paint over oil paint.

    Really loved this! Thank you! The one that "curdled", does it also dry faster? I know some medium extend drying times? I'll have to try these with transparent colours and see how it changes the opacity. Lots of food for thought!

    I need some advice. ( Haven't finished your video ) I'm trying to refill an old paint pen without spending any money. I have black acrylic paint, and I want to thin it out without it losing opacity. I don't have many options at my hand. I have water and I have flow paint medium, but unfortunately it is glossy. I am currently considering opening my black posca and just adding that to my fine tip pen, but I would rather not. Any suggestions/tips ?

    • @mixedmediamasters
      @mixedmediamasters หลายเดือนก่อน

      As you probably already realize, the paint in paint pens is A LOT thinner than paint you buy in tubes. You can refill paint pens but in my experience, the cost of buying medium that matches your painting needs, trying to get your new paint mixture the right consistency so it doesn't clog your pen and just the fuss and mess to doing it isn't cheaper or faster than spending $13 to buy a refill like the 30ml paint pen refill from Molotow. Less time messing with supplies, more time for art!

    Would clear gesso do the same thing?

    • @mixedmediamasters
      @mixedmediamasters 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It absolutely can but keep in mind that gesso is less about creating a seal and more about creating a toothy surface for paint to adhere to. I'd do some testing with your particular gesso before making a commitment

    hello, I'm wanting to so a similar piece with $1 damaged comics. Do you have a video on what you are using as the canvas/board? how you are prepping the surface? are you going to coat the piece when finished and with what? I've also thought of treating the comic pages to remove acidity.

    • @mixedmediamasters
      @mixedmediamasters 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi! I haven't done video on board or canvas prep for that type of collage but I will share here that in the past i've used just a straight gesso on canvas or just used watercolor paper or bristol board and glued the comic paper pieces using modpodge and then coated the whole piece with midpodge when done so it all hold together.
