I love the idea of using tissue paper. I was a Kindergarten teacher for many years and loved doing tissue paper collage with my students. We would also enjoy many beloved children's books by Eric Carle who uses collage to make his illustrations. I never thought to incorporate it into an acrylic painting. Duh?! I can't wait to try it. Thanks
Dear Marabeth, thank you for this video .I learn a lot from your videos and like your style so much .I try to paint with papers .I love your sentence that says : when you don’t love your painting it means it isn’t done yet and you should continue until you love it : your works are great .Thank you for sharing your art ❤️❤️
Really enjoy watching your process. I’ve turned back to my art age 49. It’s great to watch someone else’s process. That’s what I say, it’s all in the process. I trained in textiles, ceramics and visual merchandising and art lessons. I like pulling together all my passions and sometimes include fabric in my collage
I have never incorporated fabric but would be equally fascinated to watch you and your process! I learn so much from watching other artists work-it just broadens your mind with new ideas. Glad you are back to your art!
Love your work, and art process, I was concerned about the amount of client imput, which would have done me in, but totally admire how you worked with them, however doing commissions is hard, the clients vision is what they imagine, which you you as the artist actually have no idea what that is in reality.
Yes, agreed, it is very hard for all the reasons you mentioned! I usually really talk to them first and make sure that I feel I can make them happy with what I do naturally. I think there are some people to which commissioning a painting sounds really fun and adventurous but they don’t like the process at all. I try to weed those out. Thanks for watching 😊
You are the first artist who explained why the initial layers matter - even if it will all be covered up. It now makes perfect sense to me because that is how I work when I write - a repeated process of refining. Gorgeous painting.
Yes, every step, or brush stroke or word makes way for the next. It explains why the entire journey can be appreciated instead of just the end product. I love process 🥰 Thanks so much for watching!
This process was right down my alley in the style I like to paint with many pieces of advice to yourself being relevant to my stage of learning. I gained so much from this video and it was visually and audibly pleasing to boot! I think I need to watch it again. And what a lovely story behind the commission with the personal collage pieces. Thankyou so much for sharing this!
Wow they were much more involved than I would have been comfortable with - that’s why I don’t do commissions - I like the yellow flowers and often clients can misdirect one’s artistic vision
Yes, doing commissions is really a personal choice. I’ve certainly been on both sides of it and I know what you’re talking about. I usually really make sure that what they want lands in the realm of where I’m willing to be flexible-it’s taken me on some creative journeys I might not have taken otherwise 😊
I am the same! If I lose my “vision”, I am done in! I cannot proceed. So the only way I take commissions is to get an idea of what they want at which point they have no more input. When it is finished, if they like it, they purchase it. If they do not like it, it is my property, no harm, no foul🤷🏽♀️. It would be a different thing entirely when using personal input like the tissue paper words.
Agreed, once they submit those personal papers they are committed emotionally I think. I’ve rarely ever had anyone unhappy and not take it, but it’s always a risk I suppose.
I agree with the comments here. I would accept a clients input at the beginning, but after that they're going to get my interpretation of that. That's why I'm the artist and they are the clients- they have come to me because they like my work and style choices, and that's what they're going to get. They don't know where the painting is going, they're just judging an isolated moment. I'm not going to be micromanaged by them throughout the creative process. You're very tolerant and patient. I would loose my wick and tell them " Go do your own painting- oh you can't, that's why you're paying me!" 😆
Haha, yes, I get it. But it hardly ever gets that bad; I usually make sure they love my work and have expectations that fall in line with that. It’s not for everyone, for sure
Marabeth, your. “Process” is amazing,thoughtful, lovely! What talent you have! This is one lucky couple that found you to patiently do this tribute to their marriage. What a gift 💝. Thank you for sharing 🌹
So many things you say make my bells ring... I too get attached to something I like and in fact many times I cant go further but I´m still not satisfied... Thank you so much for sharing, i love your style. Greetings from Mexico
I didn’t think I could be the only one :) yes, it’s so easy to get attached and, like you said so well, it sort of nails your feet to the floor trying to protect areas of the painting.
I learned so much and was inspired by watching your creative process. Thank you for sharing your inner creative thoughts as you progress through your painting. Absolutely stunning !
I am so glad that I found you. This isn't just any art tutorial. I've benefitted and learned as a person as well as a painter; things I can integrate into my being as well as my painting. Thank you!
This is absolutely gorgeous! I adore the layers, the journey, the transparent layers, the writings, the balance. What a lovely memory for this lucky couple. New Subscriber…
Your channel popped onto y feed tonight and I am glad, I loved your video. Your painting is that perfect balance between too much detail and not enough! I love layers and layers as well but find it very hard to go deep, decide too early what it will look like, it’s hard to let it evolve! I can relate to everything you said and found your video inspiring!💕🇨🇦
That’s just a gorgeous painting! I have to admit that your process made me a bit anxious, lol. Being free and loose is hard for me and it really helps to see how other artists free themselves. I have this gorgeous hanging basket that I want to use as a collage inspiration and it’s a bit daunting for a relatively new mixed media/collage artist. I try to repeat it’s just paint and paper and not everything will turn out as I envision it in my head. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and techniques!
Being loose and free can also make me anxious, Lisa! I think it’s part of the territory and I just have to do what you said-remind myself that there’s nothing at stake here, some things turn out and when they don’t, you learn something. That’s as serious as it gets!
@@marabethquinart well, I just signed up for your layered botanical class and have already watched some of it. Its actually prompted me to clean out my art studio so I can get all the collage and gelli plate stuff out of my kitchen and dining room! I really haven’t been at my studio much since the pandemic sucked up my creativity, so this is huge for me, thank you for the inspiration ❤️
I’m so glad to hear that you are back into your studio! And I relate to the events of the last 4 years weighing heavy and even making it difficult to be creative-although it eventually is what saves me every time. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this process. You have answered so many questions I’ve had about abstract art. I love the way you flipped the canvas and your instruction behind why you do it. ❤ This painting turned out absolutely beautiful.
J'adore ce que vous venez de faire avec cette toile les couleurs les collages se fondent dans un ensemble merveilleux et j'aime aussi comment vous parler pendant que vous peignez c'est tout simplement excitant parce que cela me comprendre mieux la façon que j'aimerais moi-même peindre bravo et continuez votre magnifique travail bravo c’est émouvant et surtout c’est ce que vous êtes ❤❤❤
Just beautiful! Your process, your description, the color palette, the collage, your client's inspiration for and addition to the painting and, of course, the final result. Thank you for sharing this! Truly beautiful!
I've just found you, but I'm so glad I did! Thank you so much for sharing your process to achieve this stunning work! You make me desperately wish I had even a smidge of your talent. Just beautiful!❤💗
You are so sweet and I’m so happy to share my process-process is one of my favorite things to think and talk about. 😊. And thank you for your kind words xoxo
So glad to hear it is inspiring. I enjoy sharing what I thought were personal issues and find that many people share them. I think it helps to hear we aren’t alone. And thanks for watching 😊
Absolutely a stunning piece! I just found your channel by happy “accident “ and was drawn into your beautiful gifted world! You have magnificently interpreted a love between two people and their wishes! There is a loving joy reflected in your painting! How wonderful that couple must feel in viewing this lovingly created art piece! I’m excited to explore your channel in depth. If ever I were able to commission a painting by you - sigh - I have had a dream vision that has followed me for decades and now I feel you would be the perfect person to reveal it in art form! Perhaps a way will come? Your commentary as you worked made me once again recall my vivid night dream/vision and I just knew you would be the one to make it real!
Well, you know where to find me if you ever want to put those wheels in motion-you can email me at salvequin@live.com if you ever want to explore that idea. And thank you for all the kind words 🥰🥰
And that is why I rarely do a commission. The second my client says can you make something different it would be over. I'd lose every ounce of freedom and shut down. My clients know that you will likely have your painting within 2 months to a year because their subject must inspire me in the moment before I can even start. I'm so impressed and inspired by this. Thanks.
I completely get it!! I always have to make sure that they like what I do on a regular basis, so I know I’m not confirming to something outside of my interests and development, but I did learn along the way that once that is settled, I can experiment a lot with the preferences they set forth. But I know it’s different for every artist and I totally understand why! Thanks for watching Elli!
I loved watching your process with layers and collage and the dry brush to blend and soften the colours. And it was great seeing the close ups of those pops of colour.
Very enjoyable. Have you ever incorporated "Asemic writing" in your art? I have done tissue paper collage with layered paint. It combines my love of collage and painting. Truly beautiful work you do.
Thank you for sharing your thought process and techniques. I found it inspirational and insightful. A beautiful painting. Your client should be very pleased with the end result.
Beautiful. The colors are perfect. I am new to painting-mostly just winging it. I loved hearing you talk about what you were thinking about. Thank you for sharing some of your tricks like turning the painting. I will be trying that one.
I’ve been painting for over 20 years and still feel like I’m winging it! 😆 It must be part of it. I’m glad the dialogue helped-I love hearing other artists talk about process. I always learn something new. Thanks for watching, Robert, and happy painting!
this helped me with enjoying the layering process! I can relate to your thoughts of feeling lost or stuck and I am excited to try some of your tips and techniques to get past those worries.
This is amazing! I love it! We have so many similar techniques in our artwork! Its really cool to see someone else look for some of the exact same elements in their paintings 😉
I know, you follow enough artists and you realize there are natural proclivities toward marks, aesthetic choices, subject matter. It’s fun to find the people that share yours! Thanks for watching, Ginger 😀
Your video popped up today, and while I don't normally sit and watch a full painting video like this, I found this engaging and relaxing. I want to set up a dedicated space for painting and trying some mixed media abstract work. It looks like you just have some kind of wooden wall set up that you were moving nails around. Is that correct? Any advice for this?
Dedicated space is such a smart move, Jenn. Sometimes it’s hard to come by but what a wonderful thing-glad you’re doing it. I am set up in my garage so I have a really long wall (drywall) that I covered in plastic, and for the bigger canvases, I have screws where all the studs are and hang them there. For the smaller ones, I just use big push pins because I can move quickly and they go in and out easily. (But that wall is full of tiny holes! 😆). Thanks so much for watching-I appreciate it! Good luck.
Thanks for sharing those details. They are definitely food for thought for creating my own space! Also, for sharing that you can create beautiful pieces in your garage. This Instagram culture would lead us to believe we need some beautiful, inspiring space to work in. The space I have available is in the basement and I am not particularly excited about it, but know it's the best option.
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to comment, and I wish I could remember where I ordered the apron from. I LOVE these aprons-I have several and they are so comfortable!
Hi Veronica! Glad you found me. 😊 I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium. It’s thin and easy to apply and I also use it to thin out my paint, so it’s handy. It does a great job of adhering the papers to the surface.
Thanks Barbi! Unfortunately, I can’t tell exactly which ones I used-I have a bunch of similar looking colors in those little canisters you can see there on the video and I can’t remember which ones I grabbed. Thanks for watching-I hope you enjoyed it!
If you're interested in the collage process, here is another video you might like: th-cam.com/video/O0G51FWIsCo/w-d-xo.html

This is a stunning painting like a secret garden in a dream, with beautiful colors and hidden sentiments.
That’s exactly what I loved about it too, Ann-so many hidden treasures and meaningful elements. Thanks for watching!
You are the first artist who explained why the initial layers matter - even if it will all be covered up. It now makes perfect sense to me because that is how I work when I write - a repeated process of refining. Gorgeous painting.
Yes, every step, or brush stroke or word makes way for the next. It explains why the entire journey can be appreciated instead of just the end product. I love process 🥰 Thanks so much for watching!
I love how you just let the painting evolve and trust where it’s going.
I fight with it but that’s always the aim. I am always amazed at how it will emerge on its own. Thanks for watching!
This process was right down my alley in the style I like to paint with many pieces of advice to yourself being relevant to my stage of learning. I gained so much from this video and it was visually and audibly pleasing to boot! I think I need to watch it again. And what a lovely story behind the commission with the personal collage pieces.

Love the story behind this piece and your creative intuition.
I love the story too and thanks for watching 😊
So nice seeing you in action and your voice is so soothing ❤

@joantreis2615 Yes! I regularly make tissue papers of asemic writing to use with my collage works. It’s so fun.
Thank you for sharing your thought process and techniques. I found it inspirational and insightful. A beautiful painting. Your client should be very pleased with the end result.
I’m so happy to hear it! Thanks so much for watching and leaving me such kind words. I truly appreciate it 🥰

This is amazing! I love it! We have so many similar techniques in our artwork! Its really cool to see someone else look for some of the exact same elements in their paintings 😉
I know, you follow enough artists and you realize there are natural proclivities toward marks, aesthetic choices, subject matter. It’s fun to find the people that share yours! Thanks for watching, Ginger 😀

Your video popped up today, and while I don't normally sit and watch a full painting video like this, I found this engaging and relaxing. I want to set up a dedicated space for painting and trying some mixed media abstract work. It looks like you just have some kind of wooden wall set up that you were moving nails around. Is that correct? Any advice for this?
Dedicated space is such a smart move, Jenn. Sometimes it’s hard to come by but what a wonderful thing-glad you’re doing it. I am set up in my garage so I have a really long wall (drywall) that I covered in plastic, and for the bigger canvases, I have screws where all the studs are and hang them there. For the smaller ones, I just use big push pins because I can move quickly and they go in and out easily. (But that wall is full of tiny holes! 😆). Thanks so much for watching-I appreciate it! Good luck.
Thanks for sharing those details. They are definitely food for thought for creating my own space! Also, for sharing that you can create beautiful pieces in your garage. This Instagram culture would lead us to believe we need some beautiful, inspiring space to work in. The space I have available is in the basement and I am not particularly excited about it, but know it's the best option.
Just stunning! 💗
Thanks so much, Donna!
Beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Love this process! Beautiful work!
I have to ask wear you found such a wonderful artist apron that criss cross in the back?
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to comment, and I wish I could remember where I ordered the apron from. I LOVE these aprons-I have several and they are so comfortable!
Marabeth, So happy I discovered your channel today. Question: What do you use to paste the collage down? You inspire me. Beautiful ❤️
Hi Veronica! Glad you found me. 😊 I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium. It’s thin and easy to apply and I also use it to thin out my paint, so it’s handy. It does a great job of adhering the papers to the surface.
@@marabethquinart Thank you so much for responding to my question. Looking forward to seeing more of you and your amazing artwork ❤️
My pleasure!
Beautiful 😍

Beautiful. Would love to know the colors you use. ❤️
I’ll try to post them in the comments at some point
Would you mind sharing the initial colors you used? Absolutely beautiful!!
Thanks Barbi! Unfortunately, I can’t tell exactly which ones I used-I have a bunch of similar looking colors in those little canisters you can see there on the video and I can’t remember which ones I grabbed. Thanks for watching-I hope you enjoyed it!
Sooo beautiful❤❤❤
