15 joyfully messy, grungy ways to create your own mixed-media paper stash
This is more than a class. It’s a permission slip. A key to a creative prison you didn’t even know you were locked in.
For over a decade, I painted on canvases. I played by the “rules.” And then I discovered the radical freedom of painting on loose, inexpensive paper. It was a revelation. The pressure vanished. The joy returned. My creativity exploded.
This class is my gift to you—the distilled wisdom of that journey. A complete blueprint to transform fear into freedom, and overwhelm into a massive, beautiful stash of art that is uniquely, powerfully yours.

Organized, Practical & Deliciously Simple. This isn’t overwhelming—it’s liberating.
1. Painted Book Pages
Simple color play on old text pages = instant collage treasure.
2. Inky Book Pages
Diluted acrylics flow like watercolor—soft, stained backgrounds.
3. Newsprint Papers
Thin sheets + messy play = torn fragments full of texture.
4. Acrylic Sprays
DIY sprays from leftover paint = speckles & veils in your palette.
5. Coffee Dyeing
Vintage stains + salt blooms = timeless, grungy layers.
6. Painted Deli Papers
Transparent, crinkly sheets that layer like whispers.
7. Credit Card Papers
Swipe paint with an old card—bold, raw, unpredictable.
8. Black & White Papers
18 techniques for striking contrasts + quiet neutrals for balance.
9. Tissue Papers
Six fun mark-making methods = delicate, transparent collage pieces.
10. Grungy Neutrals
Black India Ink + gesso + coffee = grounding, earthy papers.
11. Watercolor Play
Six methods with washes, resist, swatches — all on everyday papers.
12. Gesso Textures
Carved, crumpled, printed—gesso becomes sculptural ground.
13. Rust Dye
Real rust or paint effects—time-worn surfaces, full of history.
14. Eco Dye
Leaves & flowers pressed into tea-stained papers—organic imprints.
15. Altered Underpapers
Messy paint-catchers transformed into beautiful collage sheets.
Who Is This For?
The fear of facing a blank page that feels too precious to start.
Overspending on endless supplies that end up sitting unused.
Constantly comparing yourself to other artists online.
Hoarding beautiful papers instead of actually creating with them.
Playing it safe instead of making art that feels like you
This Is For The Artist Who Longs To:
- Create Without Apology: To make marks, messes, and magic just for the sheer joy of it.
- Develop a Unique Style: To have a body of work that doesn’t look like anyone else’s because it’s born from pure play.
- Build a Deep Well of Inspiration: To have a massive, ready-to-use stash of unique papers that fuel your journals, canvases, and collages for years.
- Embrace Imperfection: To see “happy accidents” not as mistakes, but as your greatest creative collaborators.
- Become That Artist: The one who is fearless, intuitive, and deeply connected to their work. The one who others look at and think, “How are they so free?”

Paint with freedom
Hi, I'm Debasree...
… your guide on this playful Painted Papers journey!
After a decade in the IT corporate world, I found my way back to art — and discovered the freedom of painting on loose papers. What began as simple play with scraps and paint turned into a practice of healing, presence, and creative joy.
Since 2016, I’ve taught art to nearly 20,000 students worldwide and led 700+ in-person workshops. My classes are gentle, tactile, and rooted in the belief that creativity should feel calming, soulful, and deeply personal.
Whether you’re brand new to mixed media or an experienced artist looking for fresh inspiration, I’ll guide you through 15 playful methods to create your own beautiful stash of painted papers — a process that will nourish both your art and your heart.
Over 20,000 students have joined my classes. Here's what a few have said:
“This class gave me confidence, not just papers. I feel like an artist again.”
– Melissa K.
“Honestly, I didn’t expect to love this class as much as I do. I signed up because it was affordable, but what I got was freedom. My journal pages finally feel like they have me in them.”
– Ritu S
“The way Debasree breaks everything into categories made it so easy. I never realized how much I was overthinking before. Now, whenever I feel stuck, I just start making papers—and suddenly I’m creating again.”
– Sofia B
