Hellmuth rinse aid release technique.....

[southernpeach35]

wow! who would have ever thought you could use something like a rinse aid to creat such beautiful art work!

[ChristyB]

when you say rinse aid you're talking about the stuff like Jet Dry?

that is what I used

[Ruth Ann Landry]

yes, like jet dry..just drizzle or drop some on and let it run down the paper...then dry (I use heat gun) and then wipe rinse aid areas with a wet paper towel (you may have to scrub at it a little) and it should revert to the original white in those areas...dry...repeat with a second color dabbed through the white areas and rinse aid to remove some color and leave some white showing.

thanks and I think I saw some canvas paper up in the cupboard the other day... you just know I must have almost every supply, finding it is the problem!!

[Ruth Ann Landry]

If you try it, please post...I'd like to see your results.....

[Ruth Ann Landry]

if you go to micheals it is with the watercolor paper--except it says canvas paper.

[troublesmom]

Will check it out the next time there.

Does anyone know where I can find canvas paper online? Thanks!

[Ruth Ann Landry]

WHERE: dickblick.com or aswexpress.com.....I'd compare prices...It comes in pads, like watercolor paper...Claudine uses Fredrix, but they are all pretty much the same and I have 3 different brands..

CHERYL: canvas paper is almost canvas fabric-like..but sold in pads of paper...it's already primed for use for media and has a nice canvas texture to it. Very durable, flexible, and forgiving.

I got my book ordered and paid for at Barnes & Noble. Our local B& N is moving and since they will be starting with all new stock, everything is on sale now or will be shortly (the move is March 18th) and so I didn't have to pay shipping and it will be here within a few days. Can't wait! And I picked up a deck of Tarot cards that I thought could be used on stuff. Cheap-- so I won't mind cutting them up.

[Ruth Ann Landry]

you girls will love this book!!!

[troublesmom]

I am almost afraid to get the book. I already have soooo many things I want to do and not enough time to do it.
