Thanks for the tutorial. Can I ask why you did not trace the bird on a clear acetate/mylar/parchment material....... and using that as a mask, before applying the modeling paste through the final stencil ?
So what you might try (as an experiment), is to use the stencil as to make a clear glossy slippery mask, then remove the stencil, paint some stuff on the backround, and wipe off the extra paint off the glossy stenciled area...... just as an experiment.
Hi Elizabeth. I tried this technique with Golden light molding paste on canvas that was gessoed and painted with acrylic paint. And to my dismay even after drying overnight in my dry desert climate it peeled and scraped right off with my fingernail. Any suggestions ?
Is it best to wait for modelling paste to dry or semi dry before removing a stencil as I don't have a steady hand, and pretty sure I'll make a mess of the artwork? Secondly what is the best thickness of stencil to use to get a good effect? I'm from the UK and most stencils on offer here are only 190gsm thick which is more suited for use with spray paints instead of modelling paste. I
I do not wait because I do not want the stencil to stick/dry into it. Here in the US the stencils are all the same thickness and I'm not sure what that is. They are very thin but work just fine for molding paste as well!
Hi great piece of art I love it I’m interested in buying your patterns, one question I am looking to reproduce or repair a table top from an old 1930s looks to be a plaster, or gesso material and I wanted to use molding paste to re-create/repair the table top. would you recommend that?
@@ElizabethStHilaire So you don’t know if I can use this material to create a table top say like Overwood I should think it would but I’m trying to find out what the ramifications were it would be before I purchased like a gallon of this material
Lovely idea to scratch the feather-like texture into the molding paste! I would love to see this after you painted it!
Awe thanks!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I love watching you create.
Stacey you are quite welcome! Thanks for watching
I hope you'll finish this and show it to us! Thank you for all your good ideas.
Merri Clark I did finish and you can see it and all my work in progress on my Facebook page! Paper Paintings Collage Artwork!
You can always see my finished pieces, including this one, on my Facebook page: Paper Paintings Collage Artwork
I love your tutorials so much.
Juliet White thank you Juliet!
That looks so cool Elizabeth. The stencil makes a fabulous background (-: Marion
Marion Wigzell thanks Marion!
Love this! I'm about to get textured with my artwork pieces!!! Thank you so much!
you are so very welcome! thanks for watching
@@ElizabethStHilaire ....I'll post back with my process, if succesful.
30 years .... ha mostly successful, but always willing to learn new tricks...... thanks.
Thanks for the tutorial.

It’s just my process. :) thank you for watching!

trick is..... leave the glossy area dry for a few days..... and kiss your boyfriend in the mean time.

Wow no idea. Call golden and ask to speak to a materials specialist. They will help you!
What is the difference between the light modeling paste and heavy? Is one more dimensional or is it just the finished weight of the paste when dried?
There is a very different feel between the two that is hard to describe. Light is like foam and heavy is much more slick in surface.
This was great. Where can I see the finished piece?

I have no idea, I’ve never repaired furniture.

@@carloscarion1748 I’m not sure because I’ve never worked with wood
@@ElizabethStHilaire OK well thank you I really do appreciate it and I do like you panels, I’ll just experiment and see what happens be well
@@ElizabethStHilaire I’m going to take the leap and film it and I’ll share it with you if you like, OK?
Could you use molding paste that has glass beads or fibers in it for this technique?
Rebecca Beedy I’m not sure, I have never tried. Why not?!
