Hi there, thanks for your question! 😊 '2 part powder and 1 part water' means you use two measures of Plaster of Paris powder and one measure of water. For example, if you use 2 cups of powder, you would use 1 cup of water. You can use any measuring tool (a cup, spoon, etc.) as long as you keep the ratio the same. Hope this helps!

@MontMarteArt thank you

It's a brilliant little hack isn't it 😎 Glad you enjoyed this tutorial! 🦖

@ indeed, love it! im gonna have to give it a go myself!💛💫

Hi there, our Extra Soft Oil Pastels are not currently rated for lightfastness.

@ Good to know. thank you! i still love them💖💫

@@RosemarysArtShop We're happy to hear you love our oil pastels 🥰

@ Yes; i love your oil pastels & the water soluble oil pastels. happy i have the best of both worlds. 🖌️🎨

Hi there, great question! We haven't tried mixing our texture pastes with watercolour but there's no reason why it shouldn't work. Our texture paste range (Impasto, Modelling Paste and Light Moulding Paste) were designed with acrylic paint in mind and we do think mixing the paste with acrylic paint will give you a smoother and more consistent result. Having said that, you can certainly give watercolours a go and if you do, let us know how you go! 🙌 We recommend creating a litle test artwork before committing to your main painting to test out the consistency of the paste. You can definitely paint over these pastes with watercolours once the paste is fully dry 😊 Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions and good luck with your project 🎨

@ I will share my results! Testing this weekend with some tube watercolor! Great to know that the paste, once dry, can hold watercolor!!

Thank you so much! Glad you liked the tutorial 😊

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 😊 We're so happy to hear you enjoy our journals! 💖

@MontMarteArt your welcome!!♡

They probably used something like linseed oil, like with regular oil paints, to thin it out. I'm just guessing though.

@garden_creature i think so too mainly bc it's oil pastels so you couldn't use just water or sum to get it to do that

Hi there, yes air dry clay will be waterproof if you seal it with acrylic paint or varnish :)

Hi there, sorry for the late reply! These journals are designed to be used with dry media, such as graphite and colour pencils, charcoal and pastels. If you're looking for a journal that supports wet media, like watercolours, we recommend checking out our Watercolour Travel Journal which has sturdy 200gsm paper 😊 www.montmarte.com/products/watercolour-travel-journal-premium-a5-30-sheets-a5-200gsm?variant=41244006219828

Hi there, oil paint is fine to use with air dry clay. It would be best to seal it first with a thin coat of gesso although standard white acrylic paint will work too. This is done so the oil in the oil paint is not drawn into the clay. Hope this helps! 😊

@MontMarteArt Thank you so much for the reply, I'm making very basic snow lanterns of clay, tons of little balls I paint after dried and glue in a shape of snow lantern, and add a small led tealight candle inside. I make these as christmas gifts but gift them soon already so my friends and family can use them as decoration for winter. (:

Hi there, ideally oil pastel artworks should be framed behind glass. However, we’ve done some experimentation with sealing oil pastels with Acrylic Medium (gloss and matte) and it sealed the oil pastel. The medium will not re-activate the oil pastels. Hope this helps! 😊

@ Thank you for your prompt reply! the water soluble oil pastels that you make just arrived! i've experimented with my regular pastels sealing them with gloss or matte acrylic mediums and happy with the results. Very happy to hear that the same sucessful experiments can be applied to these water soluble oil pastels! Thank You so much again for your quick response time!🙏🏻☺️🖌️🎨
