Take a little sneak peek in the artist studio and see how Artist Abroad, Denise Buisman Pilger, creates her sprawling urban mixed media scenes. This video shows how the artist created a 48"x108" mixed media triptych titled 'Motion'. The painting depicts a surreal but recognizable New York City street scene, complete with NY architectural landmarks and yellow cabs buzzing by.
In this video the artist will take you through all the different stages that go into creating her artworks. From preparing the panel with sizing and gesso to creating photo transfers and painting. Watch how this piece transforms from three bare wood panels to a sprawling city scape.
Watch this video and see what really happens in an artists studio!

Such a nice job. Thanks for the share.
Wow... That's one of the best things I've seen on here for a long time XxX
👏
Beautiful work! ❤️
Congratulations from Sweden!! Absolutely gorgeous work!
Thanks for the info Denise, and for sharing.
I'm gonna try it. 🙌
un seul mot : magnifique
this whole process is simply amazing ! Plus the end result is speechless ! Seriously this is very beautiful !
You all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Elon Patrick Instablaster :)
Sensacional
Amazing, I just love this. I would love to have this one on my wall :)
Thank you +Tiina Nirhamo ! The piece is still available for sale if you are interested in adding it to your collection, for more information you can check out my website denisebuismanpilger.com/artwork/traveling-the-world/motion.html
I love your work ! , do you print the larger prints at home? I would love to try this with photos I took from my home town.
Hi! Amazing technique.
I noticed that you have used liquitex paints gloss gel for creating the skins, but what did you use to paste the skins on the board?
Awesome work!
Thanks Firdosh
+Firdosh Mody Thank you! I use Liquitex gloss fluid medium to glue my gel skins to my panels.
Fascinating art work. May I ask what is the size of each panel? Thank you.
Each panel is 48"x36"
Love it. Does it need to be laser copy? Can ink jet work?
Thank you! Yes it does need to be a laser print
hello this is really beautiful... id like to know how do you separate the panels once you have applied the gel skins and paint over them without the whole thing getting ruined..
Thank you Alina! I separated the panels right after applying the gel skins by carefully cutting the skins with an exacto knife, I then used clamps to keep the panels together while I panted them. :D
I really love this. This is a new process for me to see so I have a few questions. The actual elements/cityscape that you applied the gel skins to, I am assuming they are photos printed on paper?? What types of paper is best to use for prints and do you print them yourself or have do you use a printing service? Thanks! :)
Yes, they are photo's printed on paper, it is difficult to recommend a type of paper because even similar types of paper react differently, I recently moved to a different country and had to test out 16 types of paper before finding one that worked for me. The most important thing is to work with a laser print and going from there do tests until you find the paper that is right for you.
Denise Buisman-Pilger Thanks!
Beautiful and thank you for sharing. Do you allow your skins to dry out prior to applying to the panel? I've worked with toner transfer for awhile and it can be unforgiving. You make it look simple, but I understand the amount of technical expertise going into your work. Well played!
+Mitchel Hoffart Thank you! Yes, I let my skins dry for at least a week before cleaning them. I've done them quicker then that but the shorter the drying time the higher the chance of damaging the image when you clean off the paper. This process takes a lot of patience :)
+Denise Buisman-Pilger (Artist Abroad) Thank you for your quick response. I should have been clearer in my message, but I was curious about after you remove the paper, the skins can dry out quickly and become brittle. I was curious if you allow that to happen, or if you keep them moist until you are ready to adhere them to your panel. Thank you!
+Mitchel Hoffart I apply them almost immediately after cleaning them. I only wait until the paint that I put on the back has dried. :)
Beautiful work ! I was wondering, why not directly paint over the paper images.? It saves so much work and medium... Or are you afraid it will wrinkle?
Thank you Wilma, there are quite a few technical reasons not to paint directly over the photographs the most important one being that the paper and inks of the photographs would discolor over time which would change the overall image, something I would like to avoid.
Denise Buisman-Pilger If you paint over everything it will not fade off course, so I think you paint just parts of it. And than it makes sense. Thanks for the reply, and respect for the patience you work with!!!!
I am using golden regular gel matte for my transfers, and they are not coming out nicely. I left the last one to dry 36 hours but i didn't remove the top layer like you did? is that my mistake?
Hi Elaine, there are many different things that can influence the quality of a gel skin. First of all I would recommend using a gloss gel instead of a matte (the matte does work better for a direct transfer though). The type of paper you use also affects the outcome, I work on a thin glossy paper but this is something you will have to experiment with. I had a paper I liked to work with in Canada but when I moved to Japan I had to try out 30 different papers to find one that would give me the same result. I am not sure what you mean by me removing the top layer first? I let my skins dry for about a week (you can do it with less drying time but the skin will be more fragile and easier to damage). After drying I dunk them in water and remove the paper, depending on the type of paper sometimes it will come off in one sheet, sometimes you need to apply more pressure. The glossy paper tends to leave a whitish residue which can easily be removed with a cloth, this is what you see me do in the video. Overall I would say experiment, experiment, experiment. Trying lots of different papers and materials is the best way to figure out which materials work best for you. Good luck!
