While working at Lia Griffith, I developed this technique of painting on tissue paper. Acrylic paint is lightly brushed on the tissue using a dry chip brush. Two pieces of tissue are then laminated together using Mod Podge. I love how the paper becomes wrinkled and stiff while still being delicate and almost translucent. The gold paint is particularly beautiful.
