Beautiful art work. Loved the Unwaxed Deli Paper idea and also using it to sketch over the paper onto wet paint leaving a design from the under painting color as well as another collage piece on the Deli Paper. Great idea.
Great information..so generous of you to share so comprehensively. I too am an art educator and creativity coach for years and I got some very good tips. Thank you.
Love the video Jacqui, it's exactly what I was hoping to find, both from what materials you use for the collage element & how you use them! Also your painting style & philosophy, especially with the chance element, are very refreshing & informative. I am transitioning, somewhat, from a heavy mixed media collage emphasis to a more painterly themed work, but I want to maintain certain elements of collage, when effective or needed. You have a very easy, relaxed presence in your instruction!
Your video popped up on my feed today; I liked it; I subscribed. You create stunning work, exuding a differentness that we don't see in the work of other collage artists.
Liked others commenting here, I love the method you use. I use a lot of gel plate pieces but I work over them , using them as a starting point for intuitive painting. I haven’t torn them up and used them in this way.. So, I’m going to.get my.mono prints out and use them as collage in my paintings 😅 . Many thanks
That’s great, Corrine, and you might want to try printing on thinner paper like deli paper. Have a look at my supply list that’s in the description of all the videos.
Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your process. I have a question: when you create something, is it because of a need to create and for your own pleasure, or are you making something in order to sell it? and if yes, does that affect what you make ? ie that it should be “sellable”.
There have been times over the years when I have tried to make art that I thought was more likely to sell, but I can’t remember a time when that led me to make art that I loved or enjoyed making. It also didn’t lead to art that excited other people. I’ve stopped doing commissions for that reason too. The paintings I’ve made that I like the most are ones that came out of me when I was most real and connected to my inner self. These were also the ones I most enjoyed making. Sometimes they sold or won awards, and sometimes they didn’t sell because I decided to keep them for myself. I really think it’s best to paint for ourselves, from our true selves. That doesn’t mean these will always be ‘good’ paintings (whatever that means), but they will be the most personal and real paintings.
I am trying to buy the Dixie all purpose unwaxed paper you showed for collage but can only find 10-pack cases. Isn't anyone reselling by single 1000 sheet box???
Hi Lulabelle, I’ll be putting together a supply list soon that I’ll attach to the description of this video. Just FYI, I haven’t been able to find unwaxed deli paper in individual boxes either. It seems to only be available in cartons of 10 boxes. I have made a few suggestions in the supply list, and if anyone finds individual boxes (of 1000 sheets), please share where you found it. Thanks, Jacqui
So helpful and interesting.Thankyou. I am in the U.K. and cannot find anywhere 'unwaxed deli paper,' wondering if it's called something else here or maybe just unavailable...any ideas please?
We’re having trouble finding it here now. You might want to try using tissue paper - the kind you can use to wrap gifts. Only use white. Coloured tissue paper fades.
Amazon ( here in the US) has in on their website but they are currently out of stock. I hope some starts to have it soon. It’s the best I’ve found for making collage paper. I tried tissue paper but it’s quite fragile and tears easily. I’ve seen ‘heavy tissue paper’ online but it’s more expensive than deli paper. Let me know if you find anything. 🌞⛄️

Hi Chris, I wish I had a good answer. It’s getting harder and harder to find unwaxed deli paper. Sometimes kitchen stores carry it, or big box stores. Sometimes you can find it online. Heavy tissue paper is worth a try. Jacqui
@@jacquibeck1878 i can’t believe I found you..I’ so thrilled…total serendipityI!! have been using what we call baking paper in Australia for collage. It’s in every supermarket. I did Nick Wilton’s CVP course and used his palette suggestion. He used tracing paper but that is expensive here but what troubled me was when I saw him bin his used palette paper. Finally on your video I saw you use it as I do. We have waxed paper of course but Im sure tou must have baking paper too…..just joined your newsletter…beyong happy to find you Jacqui..adore your paintings.
Hi Lisa, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I didn’t see your note. I’ll be teaching Expressive Acrylic & Mixed Media July 22-23. You can see more info on my website: www.jacquibeck.com. You can email me if you have any questions: jacqui@jacquibeck.com. 🌞😎
I love these pieces. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely video thanks for sharing. What kind of glue do you use-recommend??
Thanks Vida. I use matte acrylic medium.

@@jacquibeck1878 we should get an artist reseller to spilt the packs. I'd do one or 2 but not 10 lol
Love this messy business
Me too!
New fan here! Love what I see so far...

I’m in the uk too! Did you manage to find it? X
Hey! Have you found anywhere to buy the Dixie unwaxed paper recently, I’m in the uk, trying to find it or an alternative x

@@jacquibeck1878 I found Logan deli paper, it’s dry wax, I think it has wax on one side, is that ok?
@@victoriajackart Hi Victoria, I wish I could say yes but any wax is not a good thing with acrylic paint.
what kind of brush are you spreading the medium on with?
I mostly use a variety of sizes of filberts. You might want to watch my Gluing Collage Materials video too.
Have you ever rolled up
A canvas to ship? I’m wondering if it would be ok to do that
Yes I have. Just make sure you add a protective layer over it - like cardboard - and lots of tape.
Delightful
Thanks!
🌞❤️
do you seal your hardboard with anything?
I use gesso on the surface before I paint and then varnish as a finish.
Have a look at my other reply to you - there’s more info about this.
Can I add collage after the painting has dried? I want to add an element. Thanks
Yes. I always wait to add collage papers until the paint is dry.
Where do you purchase your deli paper.

Do u use tacky glue or elmers glue to glue on your papers?
I use acrylic matte medium. I paint in acrylics, so the matte medium integrates well with the paint.
Super 😆
Thanks Ingeborg
Where to but untaxed deli paper?
