I can absolutely relate to when you said that you often don’t like your collages until you come back for another look!😆 That happens to me all the time!! I often arrange my collage pieces without adhering them done and leave them alone for a day or so and come back with fresh eyes to finish them! Thank you for sharing your great work and techniques!
Right?! It's amazing how perspective can change just from stepping away for a while, or passing by a piece later and knowing exactly what it's missing! Thank you so much for watching 😊💕
Dearest Cat, Thanks for explaining the reasonings of collage composition. I've colllected tons of papers, yet I didn't know how to comprise a piece of art... until now! Everyone and their dog is on youtube showing how to make the papers, but they don't explain how to use them properly. Please do more videos such as this. Thanks ❤
Thank you so much Catherine I really really enjoyed watching you create this collage paper, it’s really really awesome and they go together so well too. I really enjoyed everything about this project and they would make stunning pictures if you framed them in a thick white mountain that would really make them all pop too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
I deeply appreciate your kind words, and I am so happy that you enjoyed the video, that is a fabulous idea about the framing! I am so grateful to you for watching! 💞
Love, love, love. I really appreciate your sharing the details of your thought process, which is not common. It helps so much to break it down into the details. I think having rules (whatever one chooses) is so important and really releases creativity. Thanks so much for sharing and teaching.
You are so welcome! Your words are so kind and thoughtful, I am continuing my Tune-In Tuesdays live on my TH-cam channel! I hope you'll join me in the future as well! 💕
Really enjoying your videos, which I only recently discovered. I'd be interested to see how you hang your various collage series once they're completed. Many thanks for all you do!
Thanks so very much for the positive feedback about my videos. I actually teach how to mount and hang my work in both of my classes, Collage Joy and Collage Keepsake, the former of which is opening again in January. I'll consider doing a video on this? Thanks for the suggestion.
Would you mind sharing how to do this? Can I do it on my end, or does each viewer do it themselves? I didn't realize this option was available until you asked for it!

Just water usually. If the brush gets hard because I waited too long, I soak the brush in Murphy's Oil Soap, which makes the brush look almost like new.
@@catrains.artist I think I have a crappy brush because it did not work for me.. the tip is ok, but the bristles towards the base of the brush are still hard and stuck together.. :(
Ok, I’m hooked! Love your methods!
Awww thank you! Thanks so much for watching.
Thank you so much for your wonderfully creative videos. I appreciate how you talk through your decision making process. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching! I continue to host Live demos every Tuesday at 2:00pm EST on my TH-cam channel if you'd like to join!
Love all of them. But I am especially drawn to anything blue and green. Can't wait to see what you do with these papers. You make it seem so easy!
Blues and greens are my faves too in collage papers. I'll be bringing together another 5 types of papers into collages in 4 weeks or so!
Thanks for your experiments and the possibilities are endless!
Glad you like them! Thank you so much

Awesome 😊
Thanks 🤗 Glad you enjoyed it!
So lovely!
Thank you! 😊 You are very kind
Great demo. Thanks so much. What is the name of your red you have used? And what paints are these? Thank you. ❤
I used Nova brand acrylics, and the color is Quin Majenta.
Did you start with watercolor paper with gesso?
Yes, my substrates are either water color paper or mixed media paper. Bristol or Stonehenge would also work as the base layer.
Thank you for both replies.@@catrains.artist
love this presentation. How to make bubble paper?
It's one of my TH-cam recent art demos.
Love these techniques. How do you create the marbling technique?
It's called Suminagashi paper. This is one of my recent TH-cam art demos!
Where do you get your cradle boards?
I buy mine from two US companies, Dick Blick and Jerrysartarama. Amazon also carries them.
during COVID I taught myself watercolor painting with the aid of TH-cam. I still don't like what I paint untill the next day!!
It's that funny? An entire art piece can completely change in our eyes overnight!

HOw do you clean the brushes that you use for gluing down the papers?
Just water usually. If the brush gets hard because I waited too long, I soak the brush in Murphy's Oil Soap, which makes the brush look almost like new.
Thanks for the tip. I usually wash them right away after using but maybe they’re not great quality. I’ll pick up some Murphy’s
@@EmilyBlitzer I keep a far full of murphy's, and soak the hard brush in it overnight. A miracle worker!
@@catrains.artist I think I have a crappy brush because it did not work for me.. the tip is ok, but the bristles towards the base of the brush are still hard and stuck together.. :(
Did you soak the brushes submerged in Murphy's at least 24 hours?
I find my brushes get rigid after I wash the glue off...
See my response below.
me too Emily
@@WeekOfTastes Murphy's Oil Soap to the rescue, every time!
I couldn't hear much. Had the volume to 100 (max). Might be better with headset. I'll try that another time
I apologize! It sounds okay on our devices, I hope you are able to follow along, thank you for watching!
