About This Class

Some industries or businesses need old looking papers, businesses such as:
- illustration for historical themes novels,
- Making Traditional Style Wall Art,
- Book Illumination and Calligraphy Art.

Not only that, but also many love to produce, gift, or receive an old vintage style post card, letters or note. Some having a passion for this style, they have started an Instagram page crafting bullet journals and other items with this vintage theme. 

An old looking style and theme is not all about the illustration or design or calligraphy, but it needs papers that are in harmony with the subject, we need old looking papers for it

In this class, you learn how to turn simple factory made papers into old looking papers.

I teach you some techniques such as sinking, adding stains and splashing that you can apply one or a combination of them, provided with some tips that will give you best results and prevent from damaging papers or the art on them

You can use this either professionally for commissions, or you can use it as a way of experimenting and learning a new skill for making DIY crafts, gifts, art and bullet journals. 

If you are ready to make your own old looking papers, I would be happy to see you in the class.

1. Introduction: Harmony is what we are attracted to. Harmony is what makes things pleasant. Harmony is what is around us and nature. A seed grow in a soil that is in harmony with its needs. A Music with harmony is pleasant. If you want to make a collection of old looking style design or illustration, for example, a calligraphy with an old style decorated with ancient style patterns, or a map of a fantasy historical novel. Then you need papers that are in harmony with the subject. You need old papers. In this class, I teach you how to turn simple factory made papers into looking papers. For this class, you need browed tea. You can use simple tea or you can use T bag. You need cotton ball. You need an old to sprah, some brownish color, You need paper and you need a dish. I'm Hadis, and along with my other classes about ancient style patterns. Here I am to teach you how to turn papers into looking papers for your design. Are you asking if you can use coffee? Yes, you can, and I will tell you other alternatives. Are you ready to make your collections of your looking design? Yes. So let's make the papers you need for your collection. 2. Sinking: Here I have simple white papers and we want to color them three t. Yeah, I have t. You can use your morning or evening or like me. You can use a tea bag here. I have used the tea bag to make too fast. Let me take it out. Okay. Here we need a dish and we pour tea and the dish. The size of the dish should be as large as we can sync the paper, float and the t. Now I bring my papers, pick one of them and saying Get emptied completely lead to cover it completely. And important tip here is that we let t Cool. We never use hot tea or warranty because it makes the paper texture damaged. Now, I want to let this float here for 5 min. Another important tip is that we never risk thinking. I've worked an artboard. Dad has calligraphy on it or a drawing on it. We first colored paper and then give it to their calligrapher or artists. Let it sink for 5 min. Another tip is that if you use a glossy paper that is for calligraphy, you should give it more time. Now five-minutes and his past. And I take the paper gently out. We have this farmer and his drink. I pretend that their paper here, and I want to let it float here for 2 min. Turning minutes has passed. And we again take this paper gently out and hanging from a string. Let them draw and I show you the results. Let's say this is the sample paper, white paper. This is the one that was in T4 five-minute, and this is the one that was there for 20 min. You can indirectly aren't these papers if you want. But here it is a straight, no need for irony. And if you want darker papers, can route dark hair t, using less water. In the next lesson, we go for adding a stains to our papers. 3. Adding Stains: Endlessness and we want to add this to the pay for. Yeah, we have two ways to do that. I use the tea bag that we used in the previous lesson. Or you can use the t that you brew for morning or ethnic. Yeah, I caught a tea bag. Then I start using the pieces of t. I'm putting them on the paper. The way you put them on the pay per the design, how much of them you put is completely up in your opinion. When this dries out, then the stains we'll shade on their paper. Just boot time. I undo this patiently on the paper. Okay, Great. Now let's go for another way of putting stains on the paper. I use a cotton ball and I wanted to sink that in. Let me soak that in t. Now I touched the paper right there, cotton ball. When it dries. This stains. Be amazing. Yeah, I covaried, read more tea and I soak it in more tea. And I could more gods. So you can say that on camera. Yes. The shape that you put, the size of this thing is completely open. Your deadline, the design that you have in your mind. Now let it dry and see their results. Here is the result. This paper was a stain my routing direct pieces of t, and this is the one we used cotton ball on that. 4. Splashing: Here we want to add a stain on our papers. Here we have our papers, this one that has stained using cotton ball. This one that we put directly pieces of t on that here at paper, died with thinking technique. Now we want to use a toothbrush, some ink. The handkerchief. The color should be in Brown family here I use lighter one, but dark Ron will give us a very nice result to the processes that we take their toothbrush. We put that in the age. We take the axis out of it and start splashing on the paper. Let me show that. I put the tooth brush and ink. Here. I use gouache. I take the accessing from toothbrush using your handkerchief. I started splashing little tiny drops over the paper. They important tip is that I keep holding an instance of atleast to any centimeter between my hands and papers. You can use a airbrush or those air rushes that they used in nail salons. This all toothbrush will give us a more beautiful results. With tiny circular dots. We get to accessing out because we don't want two large drops suddenly appear uncontrollably onto paper. Let me show that and another angle. To prevent this splash. Sit on your table or the things that you have on your table or even your mouth. Please. First cover them and then do this technique. Let me show that closer. You see as I splashed tiny small drops or appear on the paper. Okay. We let it dry and voila, we have our papers to work on that. And then next lesson, we will summarize what we learned in this class. 5. Project: The project of this class is so much interesting that I am sure you will make that just after you learn that. But don't forget to take your photo of your project and post that in the project gallery. I told you you need brewed tea, but you can use other alternatives. You can use coffee. You can use oiling skin over value. You can boil Skinner pomegranate, or you can use whatever comes to your mind, e.g. maybe you want to boil onion skin and see what happens. Let's make the project gallery, a gallery of our experiments about the steps. I teach you some techniques and some steps. But the steps are just for educational purposes. You can use one technique to all of them or all of them. You can change the order of applying them. You can apply them on just one paper or you can apply them on different papers. Anything that you like. And you want to experiment. If you want to experiment just one technique. So you need less material. You don't need all their materials and tools that I told you and enter reduction radio. I am very much interested to see a photo of your project in the project gallery. There is also another section called review section. The review section, review that class and share with me your valuable suggestions. That is very valuable for me. Also answered this question, right? Three words that you would like to write an adult looking paper. I want to read those three words and their review section. So are you ready to make your old tooting paper? Let's get started. 6. Sum-up: Congrats. Now you know how to make an old looking paper. In this class, they learn some techniques on how to turn a simple factory made paper into an older king paper. Let's review important tips for thinking technique. We never use hot tea or warm tea, let it cool down and then use that. Tip number two, may never risk coloring an art book. We first prepare the paper and then apply their calligraphy or patterns or design on that. If you are a team accepting commissions, first prepare their paper and then give that to their calligrapher of your team or the elimination artists of your teeth. The second technique, stain technique. We can use cotton ball or we put directly the pieces of t on the paper. The third technique, splashing technique. We can use airbrush or simple OK tooth brush. Tip number one, we get the excess ink on the toothbrush with a handkerchief. Tip. Number two, we make an a space of athletes to 80 centimeter between the tooth brush and paper. Okay, Now I am very interested to see your experiments and your project, and the project gallery. I'm also very interested to read your suggestions and the review section.
