Hello, Arts' Family. I'm Jenny Villalobos and you're watching  Brush & Style
Thanks for being again with me, here, in your channel
 
Today, I have my most recent painting exhibited back here
 
I would like that you too, work on something similar
 
That from the comfort of your homes
you work on different projects and techniques
and you could learn it with me
Stay tuned so you could learn a lot of techniques and achieve
making these beautiful paintings
Today, we're going to work
a teacup and a plate
we're going to make it with decoupage using a napkin
 
The materials we're going to need for this technique are
A glass cup, it has to be transparent
a Little plate
decorative napkins
 
A hard bristle brush and a soft bristle brush
A little foam/sponge
white acrylic
varnish
napkin glue
and gesso
now, let's begin
-A glass cup and plate -Decorative Napkins -Foam - Hard and Soft bristle brushes -Varnish -White Acrylic -Gesso -Napkin Glue
The first thing we're going to do
is to clean the cup with alcohol
to eliminate the grease
and the paint can adhere properly
So, here I'm going to put
As we are going to make a stripe with the napkin
I placed masking tape
In the top and at the bottom
So we get a stripe at the middle
In this part I will apply Gesso, with a sponge
 
I will start applying in this stripe right here
Well extended
A coat of Gesso
So, later we can place the napkin right there
And we can see the design properly, not too transparent
We must apply a white foundation
In this occasion I'm applying Gesso
Because Gesso adheres so well
to glasses and crystals
Like so, working on the whole stripe
Very well extended
Here, I finished applying the Gesso
I'm gonna let it dry
While this is drying we're going to work on the plate
This one is already clean
I already cleaned it with alcohol
Now, what we are going to do
is apply napkin glue
In this part, all this part
We're going to put the napkin on this side, so we can see it in the other
 
So, we're going to get rid of the folds the napkin has
The layers
one by one
We take this one
It has another one
we take it off
So we only got the one with the design on it
This is what we're going to work with
But, we are going to work with the napkin inversed
In this way
like so
so we see it this way
Well, the first thing we'll do
is applying glue to the whole plate
well extended
to get it very well applied
I finished applying glue on the plate
Now we're going to stick the napkin
So
We're going to put the napkin on top, backwards
 
We are going to place it
Watching it's centered
And with a plastic bag or a piece of plastic
to place on top
So we don't get any wrinkles
we place the plastic
and with cloth
We start from the center
to the sides
We apply pressure very carefully
in order to not break the napkin
softly
applying pressure
from the center
to the sides
very well glued
Once it's dry, well dried
What's leftover on the sides
We are going to remove it with sandpaper
But it has to be dry
I keep doing the same
 
Here, the whole napkin is glued
We're going to apply another coat
with the glue
on all the surface
where the napkin is, very softly
In order to not break it
like so
When I finish applying the glue, I'm going to let it fry
 
Meanwhile,  let's work on the cup
As the Gesso is dry
I'm going to take the tape off
 
 
To paste the napkin
 
So, here I took the measurement with a ruler
 
This has about two centimeters and a half
And following that I cut the napkin
 
I cut so it has a little bit more than two centimeters and a half
I'm also going to take the layers off
like so
And this is the one I'm going to place
So the stripe turns out like this
So, I'll start applying
glue
I apply, well extended
I applied the gesso so the design popps out
If it doesn't have a white base
The pattern will get lost or faded
So I'll apply in sections
And pasting
with the same brush
I'll apply the glue on top
And spreading
very well spread
trying to not get wrinkles
I finished pasting the napkin
Obviously at the bottom it is going to appear a little wrinkled
Because the bottom is smaller
We get a few wrinkles, but it is no problem
While the cup is drying
We're going to work on the plate
that's already dry
so
It's quite translucent
we'll apply a white coat
at the back
So the napkin pops out
with the foam, I'll apply white acrylic
 
in every part of the plate
So the design pops out
 
I'm going to let the acrylic dry
Meanwhile, we go back to the cup
 
As the glue is dry already
In order to keep using the cup
We'll apply varnish to seal the napkin
so we can wash
with water and soap and the design won't vanish
We apply varnish, this one is solvent based
 
I'll apply a thick coat
Also with a soft bristle brush
A thick coat
On the whole stripe
This is going to protect the napkin and seal it properly
And we can keep using
the cup
Once we applied the acrylic and it dried
With the sandpaper
We are going to remove the edges
To take off the napkin excess
 
 
 
I finished polishing
the edges, now I will apply
the varnish
on all the surface of the plate
to seal
well applied, and very thick
And here's our technique totally finished
The varnish is dry, we can wash it.
with soap, and nothing will happen
