Obviously there are many of us who do watch the whole thing! And Mr. Octopus is absolutely spectacular.
Thank you Fran :) I hear you like octopus guys :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE THIS VIDEO! I am in the middle of painting a giant octopus on the floor in my kids' room. I totally forgot about the rubbing alcohol technique. I've used it with sharpies and plates and baked them. I just splattered it all over my painting and it looks so awesome now. Instead of stressing about each sucker's details, I used the lid to my acrylic paint and dabbed it into my diluted white paint.
I never throw ANYTHING that has a crafting potential away! I'm running out of places to put my craft supplies.. lol
Keep up the great work and awesome videos.
BTW.... I WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO.
love the technique and i watched the whole thing and never skipped forward. LOL
Thank you! I am glad you kept with it. I always worry people will fast forward through these longer ones lol
I just found your channel, and I've been binge watching some of the best teaching tips I've ever seen. The teaching you do throughout your work is wonderful! Thank you very, very much. I've watched my mixed media collage work go to a whole new level thanks to you. You are not only a great teacher, but your art is a pure delight.
Thank you so much Melinda :) Welcome to my channel!
That is fantastic! I had never seen one done like this and I was amazed! You are very talented. I am glad you take the time to share with those of us who can not paint.
Wow! This is FABULOUS!!! I LOVE it!
This is a gorgeous piece! The recipient must have been thrilled. Such an incredible amount of work! I enjoyed the process a lot.
Thank you so much Susan :) He has it hung in a pride of placement :)
SO incredible, Shel!! I'm blown away... what a lot of work, and such a stunning result. Lovelovelove!!!!!!!
Thank you Nancy Dale :) it is a long process but I LOVE doing it so it is no worries .
Shel, your voiceovers are the best I have heard on TH-cam! Octopus is awesome, and I will give a paper painting a try. Thanks again.
Thank you Annie :) People do seem to enjoy listening to me chat up the computer LOL I even have been told that one person's child watches me before bed to keep nightmares away.
I think this was one of the very first videos of yours that I watched about 6 or 8 months ago. This was before I only hit the like button but did not comment. So now I am letting you know that this amazed me and still does. You are very talented Shel!!!
I just want you to know that I watched *every single minute* of this video. I can't wait to try this technique! Thank you so much for this wonderful and informative video! PS... You have a soothing voice that's very easy to listen to. :)
I am really impressed with your technique! I have to say that I also could sit here and watch you make a whole art piece! You must have alot of favorite different media you like to mix up and use together! I also enjoy Mrs. Stclairs work also. You both are awesome artists!!👍👍👍😄👋lovely!
Thank you so much! That is a real compliment :)
This is BEAUTIFUL!

Love this canvas,Shel! Love the techniques[both background and octopus], the colors and the texture ! Very inspiring! Tfs!
Just love this technique. Thanks for sharing xx
What a wonderful octopus!! It looks like a paper mosaic.
I like the way you combined painting and painted papers.
Very inspiring!
Have a good week1
Best wishes,
Dianna
Thank you for watching Dianna :)
Absolutely marvelous!
Thank you Lenore :)
Love it!!!! So beautiful
Thank you Ulrika Ekholm:)
An amazing piece of art Shel. I especially like your process of applying the paper pieces to tissue paper and then cutting the pieces out. Beautifully executed! 🤯👍
Thank you so much!
So striking Shel! Beautifully done!
Thank you +Beverly Stout :) I do love to glue bits of paper to things!
I think this is beautiful! Thanks for doing it, and yes, I watched the whole thing. I may watch it again.
Pat
Thank you Patricia Roberts :) my favorite thing is to glue painted papers :)
wow this is beautiful. so much detail. i like the idea of usings deli paper to make the actual collage on. much easier than trying to stay in the lines. love the 🐙 🐙 🐙
Thank you Scrapbookingcraft :) Mr. Octopus was a fun project for sure. And yes... The deli paper idea has made my process simpler once I thought if it lol.
WOW! Oustanding!
So love watching your creative process. This is beautiful.
Thank you +Lynda Wessell :) I visited the guy who it was for and he has it prominently displayed on his wall..so I guess it was a success :)
I love how this turned out! The painted background looks so cool with the paper painted octopus. Jealous of whoever you gifted this to!!!
I can see that a lot of work went into this! Looks amazing! Love the colour contrast between the main image and the background!
Thank you Zsuzsa Karoly-Smith :) yes these do take some time to create... But I love doing them! Building up that background was fun too.
Love this Guy!! Thanks for sharing your process Shel!
Thank you Susan :) I have a commission for another octopus canvas. Who knew they were so popular!
I really love your paper painting pieces!
Thank you so much!
I think those suction cup things are called suckers. I just took all the grandkids to the Newport Aquarium in Oregon just 2weeks ago. They have an octopus in a tank that's in this cave-like structure. Looked a lot like your art today. And the tip about collaging on the deli paper!!! Priceless!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Cathy Whitney :) suckers! Haha! I believe I have been to that same aquarium a couple years ago. I love the Oregon coast so much! Must visit again soon.
You’re a really talented artist with and without the paper
Thank you Leisza :)
Turned out beautiful! TFS!
Thank you JoAnn :) It was a fun one!
Thank you for sharing, I watched every min of it and really enjoyed the process. Awesome.
Thanks so much +Lyn Yeadon :) I am glad you enjoyed Mr. octopus.
Gorgeous!
Thank you so much Nana buster :)
This was really creative and I love the colors, particularly the back ground. The texture is just awesome. Thanks for sharing another great project.
Thank you +Rose Ryan :)
I love it!
I so love this painting and your technique! Great Job!
Thank you very much +frances domenico :)
Fantastic! This is super awesome!
Thank you very much Aquarius Artist :)
Another great canvas Shel.
Thank you Peg Robinson :)
I just love this technique! This just inspired me on how I might be able to do the gelly fish I have been thinking of doing! Tfs!
Thank you Lise :) Have fun with that jelly fish...I bet that will be fun!
Wow, I never knew you could paint with paper. Thanks for sharing your technique! I knew I was saving all those colorful magazine pages for a reason!
Thank you :) Paper painting is one of my true loves :)
Of course I know about decoupage, but paper painting is new to me and I love the process. This piece is absolutely wonderful - colorful, slightly whimsical yet definitely real art and not craft . Thank you for sharing this technique; I just loved it. You are very talented and obviously love the work PS, I watched the full video, it was mesmerizing and I look forward to watching your other videos as well!
+Susan Whitehead Thank you Susan 😊 I have a variety of different stuff on my channel so I hope you have fun looking around!
Awesome and thank you for the tips! Using the deli paper will help on some of my projects. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Jenn :)
I think this is really awesome!!!!! I really enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you so much :) I am glad you found my videos!
stunning
He is gorgeous! I live in the Portland, OR area and love going to the Newport Aquarium. There's a high tide exhibit were you are can touch starfish, shrimp, and other critters. The last time I went, I got my fingers ate by an abalone! My husband got pictures instead of trying to rescue me...lol
I have been to the Newport Aquarium a few times. I love to come visit the Oregon coast with my best friend when I can. I grew up in Eastern Oregon and coast trips as a kid were fun family time! Thanks for watching the video :)
wow, this is an amazing piece of art! So much work, I'm in awe! great video, I always watch the whole thing :D
Amazing....love ur work
Thank you so much 😀
Wow this is so awesome!
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks! This was fun to watch.
I loved seeing the process, I've been trying to figure out how to do this. Thank you it turned out beautiful! Please make more vidoes.
Thank you Heidi :) Over 500 videos on my channel and lots of them have paper painting :)
I found this most interesting, informative, and I am awestruck! I am new to mixed media and still trying to find my niche. So, I eat up whatever I find that is new to me and something that I just might try. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks +debbie dillon :) Have fun giving it a try.
How beautiful! I really want to try this on a project I am thinking of. TFS
Thank you +Cynthia Richter :) I hope you give it a try!
Lol, I didn’t even think of counting to see if there were eight legs. Perhaps its only some people who would think to count. As an artist I don’t look for those kinds of details. I love doing this technique with my classes. This has turned out beautifully ✨
Thank you Katy :)
Shel so beautiful
I absolutely love this! New subbie here from Scotland, I'm binge watching your videos and loving them 💕 xx
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel :)
This is really cool!
+Heli PadUSA Thanks so much :)
I watch a lot of your stuff. Sometimes I admit to skipping, but often I come back around to see things I've missed.
BTW, I am listening to you and half watching while I remove the hated wired-in rings from my All Media book and replace those with Binder rings!
:)
Thank you +Rose McGuinn for watching at all..lol..I skip ahead on most everything because I am impatient! I think removing that spiral stuff is a great idea..really hating it on mine.
Shel C Liking my Binder Rings more and more. Sure, it looks loose and weird when the book lays open and flat--but at least it WILL lay flat, right? Also, the freedom of being able to remove or replace or rearrange the pages is nice.
Got a super messy process to use on a page and don't wish to mess up any of the other pages? Simply remove the mess page and work on it separately.
:)
I love my binder rings!
Rose McGuinn yes I think that is the way to go.
Lol, I pressed some minutes forward to hear you say I'm doing that 🤗 You have a great six sense🕊
LOL..oh yes we all do it! Thanks for watching Didi :)
I am enjoying this. Please more
Thank you April :) Here are a couple links th-cam.com/video/WNDA_BpnDaY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/FlxHERvOhRA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/KJtOZ4XIK-w/w-d-xo.html
Wonderful!
Thank you Mary 😊
lovely!!!
Thank you :) This one is at my son's house...he loves it!
I'm sure! It's lovely!....I mean rugged and manly 😉
Awesome. And I watched the whole thing, lol.
Yay! I am glad you watched it all. I always worry when I do a big project like this that people will get bored lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome
LOVE IT
Thanks so much Sandra :)
Have you seen the documentary, My Octopus Teacher?” It’s a must, trust me! Great tutorial, as usual!💜
Yes! Thank you:)
Another work of art Shel I imagine the editing was also a challenge too. I would love to see more videos like this I know you did some for the ICADS. I'm on my way to check your channel to see if you have a "how to video" for this. I realize it's sort of self explanatory but if you could make a video how to start I'm sure many of your fans would be appreciative. Because you do such a great job of it you are bound to have many tips and tricks like the deli paper. Looking forward to your next work of art! (another video lol I haven't watched yet)
Thank you Dolores :) This piece was for my kid and he has it on his 'Mom's hall of fame' art wall in his apartment. I have made several videos where I do some sort of paper painting/piecing as it is my love. I guess I should organize them into a playlist. You might like this one....th-cam.com/video/CzjXPO25g6s/w-d-xo.html or this one th-cam.com/video/dQ6rlCk9JR4/w-d-xo.html or maybe this one th-cam.com/video/1vF_KwORQmo/w-d-xo.html :)
great work
+dru combs Thank you Dru 😊
The background ended up with good depth. I love the colors you chose, it's great that octopi (is that a word) can be any color Lol! It's so funny you like the Oregon beaches. I live just 30 mi. from Astoria. I love the beach, and any water actually. Water is my favorite element! Lol! Oh, and thanks for the intro to paper painting, I think I might like to try it. Have a good day!
Thank you Michael Fitzgerald :) I love water too.. The ocean fascinates me. But I grew up in eastern Oregon which is kinda a desert... Then moved to Southern California and now Arizona... More deserts lol
+Shel C Too funny, my in laws live in eastern Oregon... Enterprise, Oregon. It's so beautiful there. I'm originally from Grants Pass, but moved to NW Oregon 15 yrs or so ago. I love this state. You have ocean and rain in the west, mountains in the middle and desert and dry on the eastside. But I guess I'll always be a flatlander though! Lol!
Marvelous! i like the technique of using something translucent as a base for gluing on your bits and pieces. I like fiddly bits too. I may have to try this soon.
:)
Thank +Rose McGuinn :) Have fun trying it out and we will see your creation!
Shel C LOL We'll see. I haven't been able to try anything so ambitious in a very long time. But it looks like a step by step process that I could do in small steps for a start.
Oh--No deli paper as yet.
Which reminds me--I've heard that they do vary in type. Which ones do you recommend?
Rose McGuinn I bought a pop up box of 100 sheets off Amazon. They seem like a slightly heavier wrapping tissue weight. I can't imagine there many differences between them.
Shel C I saw more than one brand there.
????
+Rose McGuinn. I searced my amazon orders and this is the exact thing I bought :) Wow,, there is 500 sheets. No wonder I have not ran out!
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GO5X3E0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
Excellent
Thank you Dalia :)
Yes - I have been to that aquarium at Seaside! I wonder what the life span of an octopus is? 😁 Gorgeous- makes me want to learn to draw octopi!
+Ricki Midbrod Hi Ricki :) I think they must live a long time because I went there for several consecutive years as a child and it was always there..lol Thanks for watching :)
This is great, Shel C! Could you talk more about what the advantage is to collage on the deli paper, cut it out and collage it on vs. collage directly on your substrate?
Thank you Vonalda :) The advantage is that you don't have to be so fussy keeping in the lines of the shape when you do it on the deli paper first. You can just cut or tear away the overages.
Thank you!
I watched this and your turtle video! I love the process. I’m preparing to take a collage class and the teacher isn’t really teaching, just providing assistance if needed. I haven’t collaged since college and I wasn’t even sure where to start. I’m going to try this technique but don’t have deli paper. Would parchment paper work too? Maybe not as easy to see through though.
Thanks for sharing your work. It’s beautiful!!
Thank you Sheri :) Yes, parchment paper would work. Have fun doing some beautiful collage work!
That was a lot of work! Really beautiful though. Have you done the turtle? I'd love to see that also.
Wow!!! So beautiful. I love your work. Do you have shows in a gallery?
+Kathie Hayes Thank you Kathie 😊 no, I have never had a gallery show.
Wow.that was a lot of work!
Love this ... so creative ... what a gift 🎁 ! Did you varnish this at the end ?
+Veronica J Parra Thank you Veronica 😊 I spray varnished it with UV protection matte spray.
Shel C thank you 😊
I love this way of collages. If it’s ok can I try this out?
Thank you Brenda :) Have fun giving it a try.
Really like this idea! Can you tell me about the beeswax please not sure if we have that brand in the UK, do yoy seal all your canvasses?
thanks so much for the reply wow $11.69 in the us but over £50 in the uk!! guess I will have to find an alternate brand!!
Love this!! What kind of "paper" did you use to paste your color papers on?? Thank you!!!
Thank you Harriet :) This piece is collaged onto a stretched canvas. To help with piercing I use something called 'deli paper'. It is thin and translucent, but very strong. amzn.to/2LHLblp
I love your art and video! Are all your papers thin..like deli paper?
+Jackie Wimberly Thanks Jackie 😊 I do use deli papers ... also newsprint and sometimes text paper or tissue. It's easier to layer with thinner papers.
I absolutely love this and I'm sure your friend did too! Wonderful video! I have been painting on canvas with acrylics but have an interest in Mixed media. I am interested in doing sort of a vintage paper background which I will paint over and then paint a large flower with acrylics over the top. I have tried to glue the printer copy black and white images to 90lb mixed media paper 9x12 with Golden Matte medium gel. The MM paper buckles and the image copies get a lot of bubbles that have to worked out a lot. I have put heavy weight on the MM paper. Once it dried the bubbles were gone but the paper since buckled. Do on need to work on canvas panels or have you found MM or watercolor paper that works well? The ink from the copy paper also doesn't hold up great with putting the seal on top and bubbles reappear during this process which I did after the bottom glue had dried as I felt the ink would smear more if done at the same time. I would love your advise on copy paper, what printer you use, & MM paper/canvas panels? I plan to cover the entire bottom layer in paper on some of these projects with no paper or canvas showing. Thanks so much! You are an awesome artist. Just found your channel.
And what type of glue is best for these projects? Napkin decoupage, regular Golden Matte medium, etc. Have you used or heard of YES paste? Thanks again! Priscilla
Hi and welcome to my channel :) My preferred medium for collage is Liquitex matte gel medium. I apply it with a stiff to both the substrate and the back of the paper and then go over the top of the paper as well. When using a large piece of paper I use a old plastic gift card to smooth out bubbles while it is still wet. As for inked pages..if you use a inkjet printer the ink is not waterfast. If you need some that is, you can get laser copied versions at a copy center. I usually do my large mixed media collage pieces on canvas or cradled wood panels. I hope this helps and have fun with your collage!
Thanks so much! I appreciate your help!
Fantastic octopus! My neighbor is the manager of the seaside aquarium. May I ask where you grew up as a child? I keep working on paper painting. You make it look so easy!
Thank you Teresa :) I grew up in Eastern Oregon and visited Seaside and the coast often with my family.
welcome
I must try this! Thank you! Question: how do you tear a gel printed paper so you don't get that white edge??
Thank you Judith :) A basic technique is to tear away from yourself..but deli paper can sometimes be a pain depending on the brand.
@@ShelCPaperOcotilloStudio huh! I will try that! I have just started my first painted collage piece and was frustrated with the white edges! And yes, Elizabeth St, Hilaire is the bomb!
I searched and searched for a Vicki/Vickie Ross video of a pumpkin painting. Can you provide a link or any clue to finding that video? Thanks
I think this is it. th-cam.com/video/kC4_Cyd--4U/w-d-xo.html
have you ever dabbled with alcohol ink I think you'd rock it if so
+dru combs I have recently acquired some alcohol inks and Yupo paper. fun stuff!
the head is called the mantle
Icecream!
I wish this was a full slow tutorial so I could paint along
Thanks for your imput. This took a LOT of hours so that would be way to long of video though. More like a class. I did do a paid paper painting collage class a few months ago
