When I've done this I put a last layer of polymer over the top as a sealant. I've done it on cavas but never thought of just using paper that seems to be a cool way to go and then of course using it in a bigger art piece/collage. Hmmm brain is now thinking of something to work on :)

Can you use this method also on plexiglas with the tillyputty?
I tried thick gesso ... didn't work for me. I used fine sandpaper (150 grit), maybe that's why it didn't work.

I don't think thick gesso would work Nola and i use really fine sand paper..im not sure what grit it is because ive looked on the packet and seems to be graded different here all it i says is fine and p180 but basically it is the finest paper i can get.

Tiling putty ... I wonder if that's like joint compound. I really like the effect! I might try thick gesso and see if it works. Great video Gary, lots of step by step how-to. Thank you for sharing.

Not sure if joint compound will work either as it might be too flexible almost like a rubbery texture when dried and unfortunately that won't work...whereas tiling putty(the stuff u use to apply tiles to a wall) seem to be more chalky in texture and therefore sands away easily!

yes does it work as well on canvas? is it harder to sand down.

Yes it works just as well on canvas and i have used it both for small to large canvas...obviously you just have to be more careful when it comes to transporting the work. Sanding is not a problem just have to be a little more careful i guess than when u can apply all your force on paper.
