Add a dash of dish washing soap to the plaster so keep it creamier and easier to work with and mix it.
Yes, this does work and makes it much more manageable
Great tip 😍 thank you so much
The dish washing liquid that we use is green, won't that change the colour?
can I put a dash of soap to a filler?
@@luthomarcianelani Dawn has clear dish soap!
I appreciate this design and knowing the difference between plaster and filler. Congrats on your channel. i hope it does well.
This was really helpful, thank you for your video, it was so relaxing to watch as well.
They turned out beautiful.
You are adorbs 🥰!! Thanks for this video! I plan on trying it out this weekend
I've always wanted to know what everyone used. You helped so much. Thank you 💟
If you add just a little pvc Glue and a little acrylic paint, it makes the filler much more pliable and you can really get the smooth defined grooves.
I do this now! It's such a handy trick 😍
Looking for a comparable brand to the diall filler in the United States. Does anyone know?
@@sburns514 Thats what I am looking for as well!!
Simple and awesome technique and texture
Thanks for sharing
👍😊
Loved it. It is the imperfection that makes it perfect.
the imperfection will also make it interesting. if it is perfect, it is boring & appears machine made.
My solution to the plaster breaking is spraying it with enamel afterwards I use a matte finish, but you can use glossy too
Thank you Grace its a lovely one
Really dope video!! Loved the indoor plants too!
Omg she's so pretty 😍.
And thank you for the dish washing soap tip❤
Another great video - Keep doing your thing!!!
never apologize for your work
Your instructions are good, at the same time today you have dressed good, keep it up All the best.
Making your canvas a bit damp also helps the filler to be moved around your canvas it can be used instead of modelling paste. I also put a coat or so of gel medium to help it stay on the canvas as sometimes depending on the brand it can crack and fall off. Thank you for sharing your process I hope we get to see a finished painting.
Is filler the same as gypsum putty? Or equivalent. I can’t find gypsum putty anywhere it seems..
@@jadecote6511 not sure! The stuff you put in the gyprock (dry wall) to cover the join up and it gets sanded once it's dry, we call it spakfiller it's sort of putty like but a bit wetter. Hope this helps.
Hi, whats that "gel medium" you talk!? ty
@@lderpt gel medium is used with acrylics and on pretty much all surfaces. It's good to use instead of water, because if you use too much water acrylics start to not bond with the surface of what you're using and can go chalky. It's used when you want to glaze areas in your painting or it can be used as a glue in mix media, it's better than modpodge as its more elastic, mod podge can get brittle and crack. You can also use it as a sealant instead of varnish as it is archival. One of the brands I use comes from an Australian art supply maker called hydrocryl they also make beautiful paint. Other brands that make a gel medium which comes in gloss or matte is liquitex, golden, derivan, Holbein, well you probably get the picture by now. So in google search type in gel medium and a host of brands will come up, then you just need to decide whether you want to use gloss or matte, one RUclips artist that uses it a lot is Robert Burridge, know as Bob blast on his channel and he uses it with his acrylics and water colours as well as in his collages. I hope this helps you. Cheers!
Most brands sell gel medium, it comes in matt and gloss. You can use it with acrylics instead if using a lot of water other than to wash your brush. The use of a lot of water xan make acrylics go chalky, because it looses the ability to bond on the canvas. Its really good to use with the paint to make a glaze, and you can use it as a protective coat over your painting instead of or as well as a varnish. Another use us to use it as a glue, it doesn't crack or peel because its got a certain amount of elasticity to it. When applying it it looks a bit white and uneven, but it self levels and drys clear, since using it with glazes my paintings look really good. You can also put things in it like sand or salt if you want to add texture, if you're doing a mixed media that has twigs and leaves in it you just need to make sure that the piece is covered with the gel and it won't fall off. I hope this has helped you, thank you for sharing your video. Cheers!
Thank you sooo much! So helpful!
It's beautiful 😍
Thank you for the video. I appreciate it
Looks great ❤
Thanks a lot. Sweet and pleasing voice.Keep it up👍
So dope!
If you want it to be smooth, make the filler roughly 1/4 inch thick, then instead of holding your texture tool at a 90° angle, hold it as low to the canvas as you can.
I use white paint with the filler to smooth is out, so it is less thick
Thanks for the tip! I do this too sometimes and it really helps!
Thank you, it's nice It could be amazing with coloring 🧚♀️🩵
I think so too but using coloured paints scares me a little if i'm being honest haha 💛
Great video, I too have started adding textures. I get ambulances going past when I record GRrrrrr. 🥂
You did a great job!
Question: do you seal it upon framing and mounting?
Ty
It turned out really nice….
So cool 😎
It would have been nice to have seen the two version side by side to compare.
For painting plaster, you could try using emulsion paint
SO satisfying. I am going to build a canvas and get some filler this weekend. Jokes. I love all the tips in the comments and that twisted tree/root. What is it? Ginseng?
Excellent art work.
I am from Hyderabad , India
I learn more from your video.
What do you seal your pieces with? I’m working on a very large canvas and using all purpose drywall mud, but I need to seal it in order to add the acrylic paint overtop (just like plaster it’s very porous and sucks up the paint). Any suggestions?
A drywall primer is perfect for this...just like before painting a wall with fresh drywall mud applied. Be sure to get a primer that is specifically for fresh drywall. It is inexpensive overall as well and you won’t need much.
Great video! Bravo!
Love ur vedio. Just a question. Can this be put in a piping bag for me fine line and detailing??.. I also want to know if this adheres on a concrete candle jar?
If you put some magazines or books beneath the inside of your canvas, you will have a more supportive surface to make your pattern ordering on.
I used joint compound and left it to dry overnight but I see some small cracks. That’s pretty normal for those kind of textured art pieces ?
How protect your artwork? Do you use varnish or something similar?
Love it! Can you please share where your ring is from ?????
I’m really curious, how does this hold up on the canvas, rather that be plaster or filler does it easily fall off the canvas? I’m worried about this the most
I love it! Is the filler is plaster?
There are other mediums you can use but I use a spray bottle to keep things moist, actually just posted a video on here for a friend so she sees how I did it☺️☺️ if that helps
Could I see this video?
@@DrHelloKitty1982 sure
@@INQUIRINGMINEZcould you post a link?
These comments are helpful
I spent hours building these beautiful yonis and painted snd they cracked off afrer I sealed 😌
Try spraying an enamel on the plaster after your design is completed. You should use at least two coats
Hella pretty..
Where did you get your plaster comb tool??
I've seen other artists using Tile Mastic for texture.
Just wondering what that tool that you are using to spread the filer with is called.
Love it ! what is the name of the texture ruler ?😄
Cute
Can you add acrylic paint for coloring?
Hi! I leave in Greece and I am trying to find this filler/ plaster but need to describe it...what exactly is it made of??
Use filler mixed with gesso it adds to longevity and flexibility you can also use piping bag also thin it with water .just experiment.also wet canvas with spray it adheres to the canvas easier
Thanks for the tip!
Wall putty and filler/spackling are the same things, right?
u are amazing...thank u
Thank u so much...
Does the filler chip at all? I'm worried if I paint over it when its dry and it chips that the white color will of the filler will be visible
Thanks a lot 🤍
What kind of paint did you use in the end?
What does it called to the one that looks comb? Im actually looking for it but I don't know what it is called 😅
Do I need to put anything on the canvas before making texture art?
Hey!! love this! where did you get the red scrapper from?
@@AllThingsGrace what is B & Q?
Where did you get the plastic square notched tool? I can only find metal ones on Amazon
I got them from my local hardware store! The metal ones would be better as they would be easier to clean
Hi do you have a shopping list posted ?
You need the small tooth spackling tool to make the design
If you add a Little water to it first it spreads really great then make your design..
you are so pretty
👏👏👏👏👏
How do you call the red thing ?
How long does this take to dry. Would it be hard to create detailed designs?
Hello where did u get kit? love ur arts
Hi ! I bought most of my stuff from my local hardware store, art shops and pound shops!
Hello. I’ve tried plaster alone and it cracks on a canvas. I’ve seen also called “art gesso” which I guess should be much less brittle. Have your tried any hack like using regular plaster and glue (to make it less brittle) or something like that? Keep up the good work.
@Kanza Qamar hi! Almost after drying.
You can prevent that by spraying an enamel on the plaster.
I’ve heard a bit of dish soap added to the plaster would make it easier to work with.
@Kanza Qamar too heavy for plaster
@@hzleyes7087 whats an enamel, is it a coloured spray or
Great thank you but wondering if paint on with acrylic paint would it crack?
@@AllThingsGrace thank you
Does it crack off and falls after getting dried up?
@@AllThingsGrace Thanks for your reply!
I wanted to try this medium after seeing your creation🤩
can you resuse leftover spackle?
@@AllThingsGrace thanks so much!
Keep in mind that old sparkle will eventually become unusable. Before closing the container, a small amount of water should be added...not mixed in...just sitting on top. This will extend it’s useful life quite a long time. Just remember to pour it off before using. Stir the remaining spackle before using.
@@9brian9871 thanks for that info. Should I put a small amount of water Everytime I close the lid even if it's new? I ordered a gallon 😅
@@ItsMeJeki yes. If you will be storing it for more than a few days, add just a thin layer of water.
@hairsaviour @hairsaviour thanks so much! one last question, can i just add acrylic to it or is it better to paint it once its completely dry?
I used plaster on a used canva (in order to upcycle), but at the edges it broke! What was my mistake? The canva was black, and I used once a thick layer, then a thinner to cover the rest. Did I used much? What do you think?
@@AllThingsGrace thanks, I may apply first primer. I don't want to thrown away those canvases. Need to try again. 👍
Before priming, lightly “rough up” the previous painting to remove some of the sheen and offer the primer a surface on which to adhere.
@@9brian9871 I guess this will help even more. This plaster is so heavy. I will update soon if those tips helped.
Hey Urania!! Did any of the tips work? I am wanting to upcycle an old canvas as well.
@@uraniakusk593 did it work?
🎉
GREAT VIDEO THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
Thanks for watching! xx
Me: Running to the shop....🏃
You are beautiful 😍
Doesn't the filler detatch from the canvas?
Not if applied properly!
Does it need a special preparation first?
@@AllThingsGrace
I heard using your hands is easier but I could be wrong bc I am watching a tutorial lol
You can use whatever you like! Using hands definitely gives your more freedom but it's your art piece and its whatever style and technique that you want to express which suits you best 💛
Like it. Reminds me of a wall in the Biblical days
No need mix with glue?
@@AllThingsGrace how do we prime it?
I used filler as well and it looked great when i was done but, when it dried it was completly cracked and ruined, and plaster does the same and even broke of the canvas idk what im doing wrong😞
Be sure to gesso the canvas (I even do the supposed pre-gesso type as well. I never leave the results of my work hinged upon the work of another.) Also, applying a couple of thin layers instead of one thick layer of filler. Thicker filler is way more prone to cracking during drying...there is a good amount of moisture in fillers, so if applied too thick in one pass, it becomes more difficult for the underlying moisture to escape. This results in the top layer of a thickly applied filler drying too quickly, possibly trapping the moisture inside...or at the least, allowing you to believe it is dry & you apply primer too soon. Either way, as the underlying moisture fights it’s way out of the thick filler, it will cause failure of the product.
I would also suggest that you never use the drywall compound straight out of the container (for pre-mixed mud). Always add some fresh, filtered water to thin slightly. You want the consistency to be thicker than pancake batter, thinner than peanut butter. If it will not adhere to the trowel without dripping off...it is too thin. The right consistency also offers the advantage of a much easier and faster spread rate.
If your texture will be thicker than say 2/8”- 1/4” , I suggest purchasing the newer “lightweight” drywall compound. Typical drywall compound is quite heavy...as anyone who has attempted to lift a 5 gallon bucket can attest. It will cause your canvas to sag over time. The light compound is only one-half as heavy on average. Buy the dry powder form & you can custom mix it for your needs. Always put water in the container before adding powder. Otherwise it will leave some un-mixed along the bottom or edges that will invariably make spreading more difficult with dry pieces flaking off.
Thanks for taking the time to get this far...I find that this is info most artists never learn. As an artist who has also worked in construction, I have a few tips & tricks I like to share with my artist community.
@@9brian9871 you’re not just a hair saviour, you’re an art savior!😂. Thanks for the tips! Will be applying them. Do you think tile adhesive would be a good alternative? And what about mixing it (or drywall mud) with acrylic paint?
@@9brian9871 thank you so much for this in depth explanation. I was about to stick on thick filler on top of canvas yikes. XX
@@jessieguitar9090 yeah I'm wondering about that too. can we mix pigment, other things like sand etc for more texture?
@@jessieguitar9090 I have mixed paint with drywall mud in the past & troweled it on a ceiling...a very cool effect as it gives very subtle color changes (depending upon how much or little it is worked & using random trowel swipes). Just remember whatever you add, keep the consistency like it would have been m icing with water also, when you use pigment or paint to color it...forgo the water.
as far as working with sand, i add it to gesso to a relatively thick consistency and spread it for texture. i use the sand sold in paint stores...it is a fine sand that has great consistency of granule size. if you were familiar with the "suede" paints from Ralph Lauren, that sand added to flat or eggshell paint will give that same look.
one more quick tip...if you purchase a paint intended to be mixed with pigment to create the darker colors, but don't add pigment, it is a beautiful clear coat that won't yellow over time or change the color it is used over. it goes on with a milky appearance, but dries crystal clear. works in all finishes from flat to gloss. the paint store employees (majority of them) do not know this & will think you are crazy...so don't even tell them. Behr uses the term "deep base" for theirs...just read the can...it is on there for any paint line...but may have a different name. the deep base is the clear so it doesn't need as much pigment to appear dark. just like a light base will have white mixed in already, also so it takes less pigment to create the color...and so on with the medium base as well. pick up a quart & check it out. also a good way to enhance a wall color...the clear on top gives your walls a depth of field that is very cool.

But it’s confusing to hear filler when I’ve only heard plaster here.
I hear it being called filler/spackle/plaster/joint compound - it's all so confusing!
A lovely looking girl.
i used plaster of paris and the whole design fell off !!!

انت رائعه لكن لااتحدث لغتك لم افهم ماهو الحشو هل هي معجون الحائط
Isnt this toxic to work with?
HAHAHA
Estuda primeiro.
Wrong, it breaks and crack
People out here buying canvas and construction putty, making the same lines and squiggles and convincing people it’s art.
Tutto questo tempo per parlare senza vedersi nulla, che mattone!!!
What’s your Instagram? Love your work!!! Will try this out!
