You're right; I completely forgot to do that 😳. The answer is yes, they did perform beautifully and exactly as on the chart. The medical exam paper even allowed transparency with multiple overlapping layers 🥰@@TamaraRoberts
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this invaluable reference!! I have revisited it several times (so far! :) ) and I cannot tell you how helpful it is to my ever-evolving art techniques and practices! I love your channel and your video sharing style! 😊👍❤
I bought the medical exam paper and YES, when you wet it then past it, it is transparent. I did two side by side one wet and the other not and got the same results, the dry one was only translucent. I just wanted to thank you again for all the work you put in this experiment, I think the result is a game changer. I never really liked the look of the translucent. This is great!!! I also found two rolls 14" x 225' for 16$, I'm not sure if the 225' is per roll or combined though. Either way, it's a lot of paper for the price. And, I used it on my gelli plate and it pulls of nicely! IT'S A WIN WIN!! Thanks again!!! OHH I almost forgot, I applied the paint to the side that has a little texture on it. Not sure yet it that will make any difference or not.
YESSSSS!!!!! That's exactly what I hope everyone will do. I have all sorts of reference boards around the studio (and in the garage 😉) Get to it, Reni! 🥰
I did my own board a couple of days ago with the various types of paper I use and it will be a valuable reference. I had done a similar experiment before following instructions from the artist Sally Hirst but that was to make loose strips (peeled off when dry to compare transparency/translucency).
@@deniselovell1096 - I am so happy you made your own board! Sally had a really clever idea - I may create some loose strips to hold up against pieces I'm working on. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
As a beginner, I'm always looking for different substrates to play with. Re the medical exam paper; I instantly googled where to buy in Australia, no luck, so I tried normal tissue paper (very fiddly) I've recently found Greaseproof Paper in a supermarket and it looks similar to the medical exam stuff. Maybe this has been tried already but thought I'd post it here in case it helps anyone. There is the waxed side and a non-waxed side. I experimented similarly to what you did and it is translucent (not sure about totally transparent). Thank you
Hi Lichen! I have discovered that the paper is called different things in different countries. I just googled it for Australia and this is what came back - exam table paper, doctor roll, or medical table paper. Another really good alternative (more translucent than greaseproof) is teabag paper. You are 100% right - regular tissue paper is too fiddly, and (in my opinion, impossible to use. Thank you so much for watching and sharing! 🥰
Oh my dear, Jackie 🤩 You really are methodical and systematic in this video and I love it. Watching you making marks is always a pleasure anyway, because I can see the fun that you have while doing it. I´ve already used delipaper for making marks and it served my purposes well. But in this video you are definitely lifting the experiments to a higher level. Overworking your video was obviously worth it. Thank you so much for sharing the results. You are inspiring. Love from Britta 🥰
Awwwww, thank you, Britta. I am so much happier this week. Not only how the video turned out, but the mark making and collage, too! Thank you, as always, for your lovely words. 🥰
I certainly appreciate the time you must have spent making this video. It was one of the most helpful that I've seen since I began to tip-toe into the mixed media collage world from the cardmaking world. You have answered so many questions -- not only in this video but in the others that I'm binging this weekend. THANK YOU!!!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this one, Maribeth - for me it was one of the most satisfying videos I've created because it really has helped so many. I am thrilled that you are here! 🥰
Thank you Jackie for taking the time to do this thorough experiment for us. I would never have guessed the difference gloss or matte medium would make! I love to work with transparent papers and I’ll be saving this video for sure.
That terrific, Gina. I am so glad you liked it! And yes, the gloss and matte mediums really did have such different effects. Thank yoou for watching. 🥰
Amazing experiment, Jackie! Thanks for sharing. Love transparencies, and I just might use your experiment to try it on my work. Your texture are also amazing!!! Thanks for visiting my channel. Loved to have you there. Have a wonderful day!
Hi Jackie. I have had such fun making small collages. You are such an inspiration. The concept of juxtaposition makes it somewhat cohesive. I can see how valuable these small collages will be for future inspiration. Thank you!
Thank you soooooo much!! This has helped me massively in my new journey. I have been a photographer/digital artist for over 20+ years - but my soul has been yearning to paint especially mixed media. You are a fantastic teacher - thank you! I'm going to document my new journey and I know for sure you'll be mentioned a lot! Thank you! 💓
Jackie, This was an exciting, fascinating and thought provoking video. I want to try all of these things! When I was working (many years ago) on my art BFA lessons were much more structured & traditional with little room for experimentation, so all of your videos speak to me in a new language. You have a great teaching style and once I finish watching a session I can understand the process so clearly. Keep doing these great sessions.
Thank you very much LucyLee - this means so much to me. The traditional teachings rarely landed on me in a way that got me excited. Experimenting and exploring light me up and I'm so happy it works for you, too. 🥰
Fascinating experiment with transparent/translucent papers. I will definitely try this myself. I enjoy rice and tissue papers - but have never tried coffee filters, teabag paper, doctor's office paper and the others. So much to explore! Also - were you collating in a recipe cookbook? Do you do that often - use books to collage in? I was curious about that. My name is Liz, btw. Thanks.
Hi Liz! Yes, the collage was placed in an old cookbook and I love using it for that purpose. I used to collect cookbooks - I had a couple hundred! When I started to simplify it was time to release them. Unfortunately, libraries really don't want old and obscure cookbooks. I was able to give away many, but the rest I saved for "sketchbooks" this way the don't end up in a landfill (at least not for a long time). The pages of this cookbook are thick and satin-y. A perfect substrate to play on. I highly encourage it. As for the papers you haven't tried yet, be prepared to fall in love with them 🥰
Hello, lovely Jackie 🫶! Thank you for your hard work and love for exploring. I'm pretty sure there is no other video on YT like yours. Seven different papers ... wow! The feather mark making made my 💗 sing like yours! And your final collage: soooo beautiful 😍! Have a great upcoming weekend, lovely! Aloha from Avignon ❤️🧡💛💚💜
Hi, this was revolutionary for my newbie collage self!!! Such a great idea to experiment, layout, etc before making the full commitment. I learned so so so much, thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful, Quass. I think the key to learning something new is to explore the smallest parts - like what paper will do uner different conditions. 🥰
I took your Beginning Collage Class. Love it! Can you provide a video about making watercolor and gouche flowers on collage paper. I saw a snippet but would love to see more so I can re-watch over and over. I have so many mixed media supplies and would love to make unique collage papers. Thanks for all of your videos! Hope you will write a book one day. ~Terri 😊 Alabama
You are so sweet - I don't know if I have a book in me, but I'll keep an open mind about it 😄. Do you recall where you saw the snippet you are referring to? I haven't worked with gouache in over 25 years, so I'm wondering if maybe it was a different paint? 🥰
This vid came up on my feed and I am so pleased to have found you! What a thorough and inclusive offering! This helped me so much. I can't thank you enough. I am a mixed media artist and I have used some of these papers but not all of them. Seeing this experiment was invaluable to me and to my art. Thank you so much! Bless xo
Hi Lindsey - I am so happy that the internet found a way to put us together! This was a really fun and informative video for me to make and I'm glad that you find it helpful. I post (almost) every week, so I hope to see you again. 🥰
This was a wonderful, in depth, tutorial on the use and characteristics of various transparent papers/mediums. Thank you for sharing your experiments, your skills, and your know-how. Excellent !
This was incredibly helpful, Jackie. I learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to do this and share it with all of us watching. Using gloss medium instead of matte medium is something I hadn't considered, nor applying it with water. I viewed it over the weekend and am heading upstairs to play with these techniques now. Very excited! Thank you again!
Thank you Miss Jackie! This was an incredible experiment and ever so useful. I am blown away by your method and its results! I might only be able to give it one thumbs up, but I can give it many exclamation marks! I LOVED THIS!! Thank you again!! ❤
It's true, Maureen - they do vary and I suggest you experiment. But the coffee filter paper I used is linked to in the description and it does gets very transparent when glued with gloss medium. If you do it, please let me know how your experiments come out. 🥰
Wonderful comparisons. Helps so much with choosing the right papers for the job. The end result in you book was fantastic. Love adding paint to my collages as well.
What an amazing exploration you have done here Jackie…and it is perfect timing for me as I have been learning collage and wanting to incorporate transparent and translucent papers and wasn’t sure which papers would be best to use. I have tissue, deli, rice, teabag, wet strength tissue and now I need coffee filter paper and medical exam paper. Also LOVE the idea of using silicone candy molds for mark making! If this is the video you mentioned in last week’s newsletter, it was well worth waiting for 💕
Robin - this was the video that I re-filmed. So glad that I did, and that you enjoyed it. Get your hands on anything silicone for mark making - it just produces incredible marks. 🥰
@@PaintedPaperStudio definitely worth the wait…. Bought little squares silicone candy mold and can’t wait to mark make with it on some if my transparent papers…also have a ton of handcut foam stamps I’ll need to try on same papers 🥰
This was great information. I will watch every mark making video you make. I love them. They remind me not to make the same 4 marks over and over. Thank you!😊
Thank you, Shaunna! But I'll tell you a little (not so little) secret - I start nearly every mark making session making the same 4 or five marks before I get loose. 🥰
This is fantastic!! I use these types of mark-making techniques in my art and your willingness to provide such a thorough experiment on this is extraordinarily helpful!! I am subscribed to your channel now and am SO pleased to have found you! Thank you Jackie! 😊👍❤
Hi, j'ai découvert ton travail et j'adore. Tu cherches pour l'améliorer et tu nous partages tes découvertes. Top tous tes papiers translucides.. tu as gagné une abonnée ❤
Merci beaucoup Manon. Je suis tellement content que tu sois là. Travailler avec des papiers transparents est l’une de mes activités préférées en matière de création. 🥰 [Google Translate]
Thank you Jackie for all the inspiration you send out into the world! New subscriber here, after stumbling over this video. I too love exploring! I need to see and feel things happening myself so will make my own study boards but now I have some new ideas for them. And that candy making silicone thing, love those marks! Now I'm so looking forward to watching more of your videos and catching up 💕
Matte Medium or any matte product) contains a matting agent, which is tiny particles to scatter the light. As a general rule, use all gloss products until the final step to avoid a build up of these matting particles.
Thank you for filming this, it’s very informative and helpful. Also, thank you for linking to the specific products. (P.S. I’m astonished at the translucency of the medical exam paper.)
I'm so happy you're going to make your own chart, Cole. For some reason the voiceover audio dropped out at that moment, and I didn't catch it before uploading. Once uploaded there's nothing you can do. Thank you for letting me know though. 🥰
Jackie, thank you for this informative video. I have been "experimenting" with transparency and really appreciate your very thorough study. Keep it up.
Love this, so interesting as I always though Wet Strength would be the winner! ha! and love your use of shells to hold your medium....that I wouldn't have thought of, but I actually have some! Looking forward to another video on taking this idea forward! 🤩
Thank you, Tamara. Originally I thought the wet strength would be in the top 3. I was truly shocked about the medical exam paper being the winner winner chicken dinner 😂
Fabulous video Jackie, I’ve only used tissue paper, so look forward to using grease proof paper and maybe some others.Learning so much with you.Thanks for sharing❤
Extremely helpful video. Very grateful for you sharing this study. Im also happy to hear how to adhere with gloss medium. Ive usually only use matte, this was a lightbulb moment. 😊
Oh my goodness - how did you know that? It's funny; I signed up for this channel a year ago, but I didn't post my first video until July of 2023 (I was too nervous 😂) Thank you for the birthday wishes! 🥰
Thank you, Maggie! I am very excited for you. Learning and playing with papers is a wonderful way to expand your creativity. Thank you for being here. 🥰
So helpful Jackie, thank you 🙏🏻. You answered a question for me re deli paper being the same as grease proof too 😊. I’ve been looking at rice paper so it’s great timing and maybe avoid the very thin to begin with. Wonderful as ever and I’m looking at my cookbook’s I no longer refer to and give them a new purpose 😊. Thank you beautiful creative, you inspire many of us here 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻 💗
You are so kind, Andrea. The deli paper/greaseproof paper debate continues. Some have suggested here that they are not the same. I think I'm going to have to order some from the UK and do my own tests. Just another experiment to look forward to 😍 I'm so happy your here, Andrea. 🥰
Very interesting reference video!!! Also makes me wanna try things! Wet strength tissue paper is almost impossible to find in Canada but I did find medical exam table paper on Amazon and will definitely order some!!! Thank you for this video! 🙏🧡
Yes, wet strength tissue can be challenging to get your hands on, but I know you can purchase it directly from the manufacturer in the UK (Carnival) and they can ship it. Not saying you should, but you can. I think you are going to fall in love with that medical exam paper - it's fab on the gel plate too! 🥰
✨💖✨ Excellent demonstration. One caveat, I find that different brands of a type/style of paper (or any products, for that matter, like the adhesives used) can behave quite differently. Recording that extra detailed info and/or test multiple brands could be helpful. ☮
You are absolutely right, Alice - that's why I am encouraging everyone to do their own experiments. I just used what I had on hand. I so happy you enjoyed the demo. 🥰

You didn't sum up after the actual collage..... did you still have the same conclusions regarding which papers were more translucent?
You're right; I completely forgot to do that 😳. The answer is yes, they did perform beautifully and exactly as on the chart. The medical exam paper even allowed transparency with multiple overlapping layers 🥰@@TamaraRoberts
thanks for clarifying! 😘@@PaintedPaperStudio
You said you were going to post links to all the paper with recommendations I don’t see that anywhere
As a beginner, I have found your videos so approachable, fun, instructive, and invaluable! ♥️

I agree Mary Ellen! 🤓👍
Thank you, Melissa 🥰@@melissaeller7029
OMG Jackie! What an incredibly thorough and generous experiment to share. Such valuable information. Thank you! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Paul - I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
5:45 I love what you did with your marks on this tea paper. You’re like a mad artistic scientist working in your lab. Fabulous as always! 😍
LOL Trina - I identify as a mad scientist - especially with that carbon pencil * swoon * Thank you so much for always being awesome! 🥰
So impressed with how you went about this. Must have taken ages! Not even counting re-filming. Wow. 🤩
Awwww thank you, Cam! It took more than a minute, but it was time very well spent. Thank you so much for always being so supportive.
If you’re open to it, test printed party napkins! A lot end up gorgeous as translucent layers!
Oh - I'm up for it, Shirley! Thanks for the great idea 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable (TIME CONSUMING) video! What a generous gift!

I love hearing this, Paula - experiment away! I don't think it will make a difference which side you painted on, but if it does, please let me know. 🥰
This was super informative, I still think we each need our own study board to be able to refer to it so thank you for showing us how to make one 🎉

@@PaintedPaperStudio Thanks, Jackie. Yes, I've been a bit busy and have had to have a short "no YouYube" period! 🤭
so appreciate you filming your studies and experiments. I was so surprised with the gloss medium creating more translucency.
Right, Heather?! There were so many surprises for me on this one. I've got to be honest - I had a dream about using the coffee filter paper 😂😂
Thanks so much for running this test - very valuable info! Steph
Thank you, Steph!🥰

Thank you, Shaunna! But I'll tell you a little (not so little) secret - I start nearly every mark making session making the same 4 or five marks before I get loose. 🥰
This is fantastic!! I use these types of mark-making techniques in my art and your willingness to provide such a thorough experiment on this is extraordinarily helpful!! I am subscribed to your channel now and am SO pleased to have found you! Thank you Jackie! 😊👍❤
I love hearing this! Thank you for being here 🥰
Hi, j'ai découvert ton travail et j'adore. Tu cherches pour l'améliorer et tu nous partages tes découvertes. Top tous tes papiers translucides.. tu as gagné une abonnée ❤
Merci beaucoup Manon. Je suis tellement content que tu sois là. Travailler avec des papiers transparents est l’une de mes activités préférées en matière de création. 🥰 [Google Translate]
Thank you Jackie for all the inspiration you send out into the world! New subscriber here, after stumbling over this video. I too love exploring! I need to see and feel things happening myself so will make my own study boards but now I have some new ideas for them. And that candy making silicone thing, love those marks! Now I'm so looking forward to watching more of your videos and catching up 💕
I LOVE it, Christina! Yes, please make your own boards - they are incredible resources! I'm so happy you found your way here, welcome. 🥰
Matte Medium or any matte product) contains a matting agent, which is tiny particles to scatter the light. As a general rule, use all gloss products until the final step to avoid a build up of these matting particles.
Great tip, Kristin - thank you for sharing! 🥰
Thank you for filming this, it’s very informative and helpful. Also, thank you for linking to the specific products. (P.S. I’m astonished at the translucency of the medical exam paper.)
Right?! It's crazy that such a weird piece of paper would do the coolest thing. Thank you for being here, Ochre! 🥰
Thanks!
Thank you very much, Kelly. I appreciate you and your generosity. Have a wonderful Easter, and thank you for being here. 🥰
An amazing video and experiment, wow….I’m blown away…thank you so much….subscribed!
Thank you, Steph - I'm so happy to have you here! 🥰
Just what I needed to know. Inspired me to be an investigator....and do some of these experiments! THanks so much
😄
I love that, Sally - be the investigator! 🥰
Love the chart… running to the studio to make my own! At 17 ish min there is a little clip of a podcast or something. Thought you would want to know
I'm so happy you're going to make your own chart, Cole. For some reason the voiceover audio dropped out at that moment, and I didn't catch it before uploading. Once uploaded there's nothing you can do. Thank you for letting me know though. 🥰
Jackie, thank you for this informative video. I have been "experimenting" with transparency and really appreciate your very thorough study. Keep it up.
Thank you, Gayle! I think playing with transparency is such a fun way to explore new ways of creating. Keep up the experimentation 🥰
Love this, so interesting as I always though Wet Strength would be the winner! ha! and love your use of shells to hold your medium....that I wouldn't have thought of, but I actually have some! Looking forward to another video on taking this idea forward! 🤩
Thank you, Tamara. Originally I thought the wet strength would be in the top 3. I was truly shocked about the medical exam paper being the winner winner chicken dinner 😂
wow! I am so glad I found your channel. This was an excellent set of experiments and I learned a lot. Thank you!
Hi Sara! I'm so happy you found your way here 😀. This was a really fun and incredibly fascinating video to work on - I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🥰
Fabulous video Jackie, I’ve only used tissue paper, so look forward to using grease proof paper and maybe some others.Learning so much with you.Thanks for sharing❤
Hi Lorraine - it is really fun to experiment with different papers - you'll have to let me know how it goes for you. 🥰
Thank Jackie for all your interesting way to teach how we can appoach to collage , I m a painter and I love colage
Hello Sebastian! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for being here 🥰

Thank you, Kelly - YOU are amazing! I really loved making this video and I'm so happy you enjoyed it. 🥰
Extremely helpful video. Very grateful for you sharing this study. Im also happy to hear how to adhere with gloss medium. Ive usually only use matte, this was a lightbulb moment. 😊
Hi Paula! I just love creative lightbulb moments. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to let me know what you thought. 🥰
🎉Happy birthday to your UA-cam channel!!💗🥂🎂 you rock Jackie! Thanks for your good work.Do in Paris🗼🤗😉✨️
Oh my goodness - how did you know that? It's funny; I signed up for this channel a year ago, but I didn't post my first video until July of 2023 (I was too nervous 😂) Thank you for the birthday wishes! 🥰
I enjoyed your video very much, This is the first time that I have been learning composition and using the technique of papers🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Maggie! I am very excited for you. Learning and playing with papers is a wonderful way to expand your creativity. Thank you for being here. 🥰
Great experiment. All of the info was so helpful as I am new to gel printing, mark making, and collage.
That makes me so happy, Mary Ellen! Have fun playing and experimenting as you go. 🥰
Great technique. Beautifully filmed. Thank you.
Thank you very much! 🥰
Excellent video, thank you! So informative. You answered questions I never even thought of asking. Well done!
Hi Lynda! Thank you - working with translucency makes my heart sing - I hope you give it a try. 🥰
Thank you soooo much!!!
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge 😎
You're welcome, Jae - I could not contain my excitement on this one...at all 🥰
Thank you for this wonderful video! I am just learning Mark Making and this is sooo helpful!!
You're welcome, Tara - perfect timing! 🥰
So helpful Jackie, thank you 🙏🏻.
You answered a question for me re deli paper being the same as grease proof too 😊.
I’ve been looking at rice paper so it’s great timing and maybe avoid the very thin to begin with.
Wonderful as ever and I’m looking at my cookbook’s I no longer refer to and give them a new purpose 😊.
Thank you beautiful creative, you inspire many of us here 🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻 💗
You are so kind, Andrea. The deli paper/greaseproof paper debate continues. Some have suggested here that they are not the same. I think I'm going to have to order some from the UK and do my own tests. Just another experiment to look forward to 😍 I'm so happy your here, Andrea. 🥰
🙏🏻😘🙏🏻
A huge help-thanks for doing ALL that work. I hope to do this study with my own papers thankyou thank you
Oh please do, Sue! It will give you so much more info than I could convey in one video. 🥰
Lovely work, Jackie❤ Very interesting too!
Hi Cindy, nice to see you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🥰

You're welcome, Candace - you know I can't help myself 😂🥰
Thanks!
Mary Ellen, thank you, I appreciate you. 🥰😍🥰
Very interesting reference video!!! Also makes me wanna try things!
Wet strength tissue paper is almost impossible to find in Canada but I did find medical exam table paper on Amazon and will definitely order some!!! Thank you for this video! 🙏🧡
Yes, wet strength tissue can be challenging to get your hands on, but I know you can purchase it directly from the manufacturer in the UK (Carnival) and they can ship it. Not saying you should, but you can. I think you are going to fall in love with that medical exam paper - it's fab on the gel plate too! 🥰
Amazing results...thank you for sharing your testing process! 🤓
I'm so happy you enjoyed it, Melissa! 🥰
Very good ‘ class ‘ ! So interesting! Thank you
Thank you Rachel! 🥰
Great experiment and I learned a lot. Thank you Jackie!

Thanks to you!
Thank you, Endy. I’m glad you liked it. 🥰
Fabulous 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much, Laura! 🥰
✨💖✨ Excellent demonstration. One caveat, I find that different brands of a type/style of paper (or any products, for that matter, like the adhesives used) can behave quite differently. Recording that extra detailed info and/or test multiple brands could be helpful. ☮
You are absolutely right, Alice - that's why I am encouraging everyone to do their own experiments. I just used what I had on hand. I so happy you enjoyed the demo. 🥰
Thanks so much! This was so helpful!
You're welcome, Andrea. Thank you for watching! 🥰
Thank you so much!! really so helpful!
I'm so happy it was helpful for you, Dawn! 🥰
