What are the differences between deli, wax, parchment and tissue papers?

I've got you covered in this video. This video is the exact one I share with my students in my beginner mixed media course called Blending Abstract.

Understanding the differences between deli, wax, parchment and tissue paper is all explained for you.

NOTE: This video is from a course I teach online. I'm offering it here since I get asked often about the differences between these papers. The course where I teach how I apply the papers to canvas is in this course:

For Australians watching, parchment paper is baking paper here, rolls of grease proof paper from woollies or coles for about $1.20 a roll it can be used instead of deli paper, Amazon Australia now has some boxes of deli paper for sale as well. I only add this info as I’ve been frustrated for so long on the different names in different countries and it was a big day for me when I discovered cheap old grease proof paper is a sub for expensive to us deli paper

I have used deli paper as a palette for my acrylic paints for years; easy clean up - just throw it away. I also love to paint on it and use it in collage - easy to punch out flowers and/or leaves, etc.

Wet strength tissue paper is also available from Carnival Papers in UK, also on Amazon. They're larger sheets 50 x 76cm designed not to fall apart when wet.

I was trying to find out the difference between parchment and deli paper, and you've explained it very well. Thank you for this video! :)

I'm from the UK and I've never been able to find Deli paper in shops, even in the baking section. Nobody seems to know what I'm talking about. 😞
Also the parchment paper that you iron is called freezer paper over here. 🇬🇧.
It's all terribly confusing but your video took away some of the confusion. 😁

Hi Roben can you tell me which class you teach that covers using deli paper ?

Does anyone know where I can buy wax paper in Australia? I can't find it in supermarkets. I have purchased it before but not for quite a few years. Anyone else have any ideas? Much appreciated

Roben-Marie - are you able to tell us the name of the deli paper you used with water colors? I use the Kabnet usually
