Most Intriguing Collage Papers with Rubbing Alcohol

After dozens of experiments, I finally mastered the technique of using rubbing alcohol to create the most intriguing layered collage papers, and I can’t wait to share this goodness with you.

Supplies to make these papers:

Water basin
MDF ¾ inch board cut at hardware store
Acrylic paint (I use Nova brand)

I’m glad to know that you have a harder time getting light colors . I’m in the last part of the 5 day workshop and I have to say the light blues were the hardest part for me! These techniques are amazing!

Ohh and I bet using alcohol inks on top of wet acrylic paint would be fun too!

What a great technique! I could see so many rabbit 🐇 holes to go down - one being using neon acrylic markers to doodle over the patterns.. Thank you for this inspiration, it'll keep me happily playing for weeks - and it will make a change from my usual alcohol 🍸ha ha ☺ 💗💗 much appreciation from a Scottish pensioner .

If you have a gelli plate and a brayer, you could get a thin, even layer of paint.

[mudslingerkat]

Wow!! thanks for sharing this! I really enjoy your teaching style and how you work things out or make decisions while you're on camera...its really helpful to see the process, but also makes me not so worried about outcomes and experimenting more...especially since I love the unpredictability of less control😁

[ZsuzsaKarolySmith]
