Thank you for this. I prefer measurements when starting to avoid wasting time, product and to get professional results. After several attempts, I'm sure I'll learn how to eye ball it. This truly helped as I start on my artwork for my home. I was thinking of using my magic bullet to blend the mixture to get a creamy smooth consistency. What are your thoughts? FYI, I would only use the bullet for this purpose and not in the kitchen.
Honestly, I’ve never once considered blending the texture paste. I think it’s one of those ideas that could either be totally genius or an absolute disaster but I’m leaning towards genius, especially because if you’re mixing up a large batch a mixer could really come in handy. I think you’ll have a really creamy, whipped consistency. I’m partly invested now haha, please report back 🙌🏾
@@thezendoc Wow. Thank you for the quick response and the encouragement 😆 as a designer, I'm all about making things easier, efficient and a little quicker if possible. I will most certainly report back in a few days. I will try your mixture in the blender, which I'm confident that it will work out well.
@@thezendoc I tried it out, and my goodness 🙌🏾 it was whipped like buttercream. I put the paste in a bowl and rinse the mixer immediately. For larger batches, I would think to use a big blender.
@@slrcouture omg thank you for sharing! That’s pretty much what I guessed it would give. I’ll keep this in my back pocket, who knows when it’ll come in handy. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤎🤎
I agree, as a newbie to textured art, the measurements are helpful as a starting point and will adjust/eyeball it from there. I expect demographics may play a role as well with respect to local temps, humidity levels, etc.
Thank you for this video.. i wanted to start doing textured painting but i want a DIY mixture.. but i read and watch many videos saying this kind of DIYs will crack eventually. Have you had this issues? Whats the oldest textured paint you have that has not cracked at all? Thanks, i hope you see this message. 😊
What does the result of the texture on canvas? Would you mind sharing or adding a video of what it looks like on canvas . Would love to see what the final result look like
Thanks for sharing. I’m in Australia and used what you advised. Mine set rock solid. I did use a cheap version of acrylic paint. Am I doing anything wrong.
Hi, @mandij0y here! Can you speak to what the different components of what plaster, glue, and paint bring to the table re consistency? I heard you say for a thicker mixture, add more plaster to water. I’ve found the glue loosens the mixture and paint seems to stiffen it up. How would you describe the role of each component??
Hi! Yes, adding paint does stiffen it up a little but as you mix and add more paint, the creamier it gets. Paint and glue work together as a cheap alternatives to acrylic mediums. You can’t use them separately, so I can’t really speak to their effects as separate components. 🤎🤎
I watched your first video, and then started watching this. didn't see the part about double plaster until after i mixed it. oops. I added some more plaster, it is still about the consistency of melted ice cream. will it mess up cause i added it after? also, yours is looking like yogurt, really creamy and mine looks gritty. could be the old plaster of paris i had? or would it be something else? Thanks for listening. I'll play with it and see what works. for now I'm out of glue so I'll just mess with the current mixture.
Usually it’s fine if you add it immediately after but I don’t recommend doing that after time has passed. Instead, I’d make a thicker paste and mix both pastes together to get my desired consistency. Sometimes, I prefer the melted ice cream consistency so yep, recommend you play with it. More paint and glue will also give a more creamy texture.
I don’t know what top bond is but a quick google search shows something similar to Elmer’s glue so I think it should work. You may have to experiment to be sure! 🤎
I just found your channel and immediately subscribed after watching the first video. Thank you for your instruction 🩷
Thank you!! Glad to have you here 🤎
Thank you for sharing!
Of course! I hope it helps! 🙏🏾🤎
Your video quality has improved immensely! You’re very informative. Can’t wait for the next video.BTW- love your work!❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I’m committed to improving both my art and videos 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Coming back to this to get started on some 3D art!
Let’s go! I’m sure it’ll be amazing! 🫶🏾
I messed up by premaking it and leaving it until it tried out! I learned my lesson but hey, I learned! :)
Haha you live and learn!
Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
🤎🤎🤎

Thank you do much for your great video ❤😊 i hope i can find the plaster you mentioned in Denmark
Thank you! I hope so! 🤎🤎

I hardly experience cracks with my mixture. But cracks go beyond the materials you’re using, sometimes it’s the application of said materials
@thezendoc thank you..😍
Thank you for your information🙏🏻🌷
Can plaster modeling be used instead of plaster of paris?
Will cracking still occur?
Sorry I haven’t used modeling plaster so I can’t speak to that! 🙏🏾
Can the mixture be stored? What type of container? Thanks 6:08
Yes it can, in an airtight container. I’ve stored mine for about 2 months with no issues. If it starts to dry out, you can always rehydrate with water
Thank you

I have a lots of videos on my channel working with the texture paste. 🤎

Sorry to hear that! What kind of glue did you use?
@@thezendoc glue all. Paint was a cheap version though.

Can I use top bond in place of pva also . I can’t find pva in Nigeria here

@@thezendoc you are the best , really . Thank you . I’ll try it out
I used gypsum and it hardens too fast before I used it…. What shall I do?
You might need to add more paint and glue when mixing, especially if your mixture is thick.
