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
Thank you for sharing your process. I’m an artist too, learning as I go, and I learn a lot from seeing someone else’s process. Plus is very inspiring ❤
me too-so much of my training and education has been watching other paint or listen to them talk about their work and process. I never get tired of it!
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 !
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 ❤️❤️
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 🌹
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!
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…
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!
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.
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 😊
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!
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 😊
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 ❤❤❤
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!
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!
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!
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.
I use several different ones-one is a 3x10 polyester brush I bought at Home Depot in the painting decorating department. It’s my favorite-soft bristles and big. But I will also use regular paint brushes as well when that one is needing to be cleaned. (Which is more than I care to admit to 😊)
So glad, and thanks for watching, Louis! I use Golden Liquid Glazing Medium but I’m sure there are others to try. It works really well and I use it frequently to thin out my paint as well, so it works double duty.
The blue and white patterned one was a gift from a friend-not sure where she bought it. And the other one I just ordered online somewhere randomly and it was years ago, so I can’t remember. Wish I could find more though! Sorry, that was no help at all 😆
Some paint is actually transparent right out of the tube (it usually says somewhere on it if it’s transparent or opaque) but beyond that, I either water it down (this is usually what I do to stain collage papers) or I add a glazing medium to it.
This isn’t the exact apron, but it’s very similar and free shipping! www.google.com/url?q=soulmadearts.com/products/handmade-crossback-linen-apron-one-pocket-linen-pinafore-multipurpose-criss-cross-apron-japanese-style-kitchen-barista-apron%3Fvariant%3D40816329490600%26currency%3DUSD%26Dproduct_sync%26Dgoogle%26Dsag_organic%26Dsag_organic&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwiG066hh935AhVXomoFHStwB_AQgOUECNoE&usg=AOvVaw0bEVFgq3bAfA3IAJRraHqm
@@marabethquinart thank you so much I know that's what I need no matter how careful we are we still get stuff on us that look so comfortable and easy to put on an take off
I heard you tell us you were in BNA. From where did you take classes? Do you have a gallery or studio here that is available for me to come and visit? Signed the curious girl in Wilson County.
Hi Kristina! I’m self-taught so the only classes I’ve taken are ones that I sign up for from other artists. I used to be in galleries but now just sell online and if someone wants to see one in person, I arrange for that. It’s easier and works with my painting schedule much better. Let me know if you ever want to see something and we can work that out 😉
Hi Deb! Enrollment is open indefinitely on this class right now, and once purchased, you have access to work at your own pace for as long as you like. Here’s the link if it helps: marabethquinart.thinkific.com/courses/paint-with-paper
I briefly talked in the video about how the clients didn’t necessarily want the words to show (or they wanted just a hint here and there) but they did enjoy participating and also knowing that the words are there, underneath the surface. Symbolic and beautiful 😍
That’s actually not unusual with a commission, and it’s easy enough to adjust. Sometimes you have to see something to realize what you’re wanting, so I don’t mind that part of commissions.
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
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. 😊
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!
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.
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!💕🇨🇦

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!

@@marabethquinart the grey one, which crosses on yours spine. I bet it’s very comfortable! 🌹
It is-I think it’s called a cross back apron and I’ve seen different versions of it around online
Very interesting. Wath is the brand of paint you use 8:47
I use all different brands. I’ve experimented over the years and use different ones for different qualities they have.
How do you make your paints transparent?
Some paint is actually transparent right out of the tube (it usually says somewhere on it if it’s transparent or opaque) but beyond that, I either water it down (this is usually what I do to stain collage papers) or I add a glazing medium to it.
What are you gluing the collage pieces with? with acrylic or the other media?

Beautiful ❤️❤️ but Can’t see the words which the couple had sent😳
I briefly talked in the video about how the clients didn’t necessarily want the words to show (or they wanted just a hint here and there) but they did enjoy participating and also knowing that the words are there, underneath the surface. Symbolic and beautiful 😍
In this video, are you working in acrylic?
Yes, and also some latex I got at Home Depot. 😉
That must have been frustrating. They asked for colour of the flowers to be stronger and then asked them to be softer.
That’s actually not unusual with a commission, and it’s easy enough to adjust. Sometimes you have to see something to realize what you’re wanting, so I don’t mind that part of commissions.
Everyone has all of these signs somewhere in their natal chart. 🤣🤣🤣
Is this a reference to something I said in the video? (I haven’t watched it in awhile so I’m probably not remembering well…)
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much, Alyson. And thanks for watching!
Love your beautiful work.....the collage papers you add are just stunning!
Thank you so much! 😊
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
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. 😊
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!
Beautiful painting and so informative ! Thanks for sharing! You have a new subscriber!
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for subbing!
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.
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!💕🇨🇦
I’m so happy to hear that I’m not alone in this, Cindy! Thanks for watching and I’m glad it resonates!
Superb work🎨🎨🎨🎨
