Hey Peter, I believe I know the answer to the pain of cleaning brushes and rollers. You don’t clean them. At the end of the working day, professional painters and decorators will put them in a bag of water and seal with tape. As long as the brush/roller is submerged in water, the paint won’t go off. Doesn’t matter if its water-based emulsion or gloss. When ready to use again, a) if emulsion, give the brush / roller a vigorous rub on some scrap piece of wood (or whatever you have to hand). Squeeze the excess water out, b) if gloss, give it a good shake. The gloss and water naturally repel each other. Whether emulsion or gloss, it’s a one-to-two-minute job. I’m not a pro painter but was put on to it by a friend who is. I have tried it and it works.
By the way Peter, I‘m really impressed by your talent as a teacher, instructor. I’ve watched instruction videos on all manner of things, and you really stand out. You happen to teach mosaics, but you could teach anything. You have a gift. Thanks!
Aww Thankyou so much Mark, really appreciate that very much. That's a great tip and I can certainly see how that would work, its something I have always had issues with and I want to definitely try it next time I'm painting, I've only just finished painting the kitchen but that's a great tip for me to try next time. Thankyou so much and thanks for watching. :)
I will never forget one of my jewelry-making instructors in college pointing out that we should always take just as much care with the back because people have a natural tendency to turn the piece over and study that part too. I love your stencil idea, Peter.
Thankyou so much and the instructor is a very smart person that is so true, I naturally just think the back should look good and never thought about its instinct for people to turn things over and I must admit I do that as well. :)
Thank you Peter! I’m going to try the stencils idea. Find it very artistic and refreshing.
Thankyou so much, glad you liked it. :)
Thank you!!
Thankyou Dee and my pleasure. :)
I truly love your videos. Very informative, clear and to the point. I have looked so many but yours make the difference. I am not a native English speaker and I understand you very well. I specially enjoy the videos about new tools and how to use them. Please make more about curves, circles, etc.
Muchas gracias.
Thankyou so very much Ingrid, your English is very good. So glad you're enjoying the videos, I have some special ones being planned that will be released later I hope you will enjoy. :) Muchas gracias
Thank you for more great ideas!
Thankyou and my pleasure. :)
Hi! Peter, i just started to do mosaic and i like the way u do the stencils,, i really like the way you explain and its so much fun, Have a bless day USA
Thankyou very much Brenda appreciate that and have a blessed day as well. :)
It would look pretty with the all over black with a white stencil over it as well.
Yes there are many options available. :)
Thanks again! Sometimes I do an acrylic pour on the back only because I like doing them . If you paint the back BLACK, won't it mark up the wall it is hung upon??
My pleasure. I haven't had that issue but I always buy good quality acrylic paint, it needs to dry properly though. You can always add small plastic risers for picture frames to the back they just adhere on and keep the piece about 5mm off the wall at the bottom if you think there could be an issue. :)
How do you keep the grout from getting on the sides and back. 🤔
Hi Sara, when I seal the MDF all over including the sides, the grout just wipes off as grout doesn't have any adhesive properties, you can also give the back a light sanding and then paint it. Another alternative is to cover the back in plastic and tape it, after you've grouted and its cured, just remove the plastic and tape. :)
Peter, you said you are using Satin paint, but is it latex (water-based) paint or enamel (oil-based) paint?
To paint the backs I used an acrylic paint with a satin finish. I probably should have clarified that better. :)
@@TreasuryRoad I guess I'm not familiar with acrylic paint. Is it water-based, cleanup with water only?
@@trishapollard4374 It is a water based paint, cleanup with water, I use a good branded one. :)
Thank you! I have a question about the sides. Could I send you or post it to you on instagram? I love the piece but don't know how to finish it! 🙏
My pleasure, I would post it in one of the mosaic forum groups with the photo as others would probably want to know as well. :)
@@TreasuryRoad thank you!! I will do that!
Being an art quilter and knowing how much those cutting mats cost now (over $50 to $100 US now), it is making me cringe when you are painting on it! Lol. Sometimes, I turn my mat over and work without the lines.
So very true, I need to buy another one as I have also used the heat gun on it and the mat has distorted. You get caught up in the moment and sometimes forget about the mat. :)
