Thank you Anja 😊

I saw a carved painting on Pinterest and loved it so much I had to find out how to make the foundation. Thanks for your video. I've subscribed to your channel.

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Hello June 👋🏻 welcome to my channel 😊 thank you for your kind words, I hope you enjoy my content ❤️ I do paint carving as often as I can but I like to try al sorts of new creative things 😁

[@rode7536]

Beautifull!!!! I'll do it

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Thank you Rode ☺️

I'm attempting paint carving and want to see if I can make my acrylics go further by adding a paint medium, like a texture or gel medium. Do you have any recommendations? Would something like glue work?

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Please don't add anything to them as it makes the texture softer and then impossible to do the carving. What kind of acrylic paint are you using? As you need a specific one like the one I show in the video. The ones in the tubes won't work.

[@litterbugger]

@@UnboundedArtandCrafts experimenting with the cheapest possible brands at the moment. Will probably flop but here goes. I'll look out for the tinned brands tho

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

@litterbugger I hope it works for you ❤️ I tried all the kinds and tested for a year and still came to the conclusion that you really need the "All purpose Indoor Outdoor Acrylic Paint" in a can. Mine costs about €7 a can so that's not too bad. In the end it would have been so much cheaper to just buy the right paint than spend months painting layers and letting the paint cure for it not to work.

[@jadengreen5914]

Do I have to buy it in the can? Like do the big bottles of acrylic paint at Walmart In the art section? Or is it a specific kind

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

@Jaden Green it's not craft Acrylic it's Multi purpose interior/exterior Acrylic Paint and as far as I know (I'm in the Netherlands) it comes only in cans. Hope this helps?

[@herriettedalmeida1964]

Do you mix water in this paint?

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

@Herriette no this isn't paint pouring, for layering the paint to carve you use it straight out of the can.

[@robg6672]

Hi, great video! One question, What is the ratio of paint layers. How many layers for each color?

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Hi Rob, thank you ❤️☺️ That totally depends on you and your design. For something simple with one color I would do about 40 layers and a top coat. But again totally up to you to find out as my paint could be thicker or thinner than yours. Or you might carve deeper or shallower than me... To many variables to just give you a straight number 😅 It took me a lot of studies and tries to figure out on my own what works best. And all I can recommend is start simple and go from there.

[@sharmeenfatma1143]

This is streched canvas or Can we apply on simple canvas

[@sharmeenfatma1143]

Or plzz describe the acrylic colour which we used in which we used for fluid art that acrylic colour can do this type of carnival

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Dear Sharmeen, I recommend using a wooden base instead if canvas as it's way easier to carve. I have been using canvas as that was what I had.

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Please watch the video I show you the can of paint clearly

[@kilian-one-l]

Is it possible to do this with normal acrylic paint? I want to try this out, but I don't have the money to buy big tins of paint

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Dear Kilian, what kind of acrylic are you talking about? If you are going to layer a board you will need a lot of paint, this technique is unfortunately not cheap 😅

[@Emm_Er]

What brand do you normally use? And did you not like it, or were you trying this new one out just to see if this might be better?

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

The one I show is the one I always use. The one I'm layering in the board is a test on which a future video will follow with the results.

[@WakeUpAndCraft]

Wow, 40 layers?! What you are describing reminds me of sgraffito. Do you have a video on how you used this technique? I loved to see! Thank you for sharing!💖

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Hi Sunny ☀️ thank you. And yes I have actually several videos on this technique. kzbin.info/aero/PLCIAvJE9B8bj-EgfdG_lurJC2e584hlkJ

[@WakeUpAndCraft]

@@UnboundedArtandCrafts Sweet! Thank you! I'm going to check it out right now!☺

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Thank you 🤗 I try and make a carving video every 10 videos as they take so very long to do.

[@WakeUpAndCraft]

@@UnboundedArtandCrafts Oh, okay! Thank you!

[@kim99may]

I had to replay and listen again to make sure I heard correctly! Lol

[@lesleysholes]

Thank you. X can you layer on a canvas? Or does it have to be wood? 😁

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Dear Lesley than you for liking my video, I have a playlist with more ☺️ I recommend a solid underground as it will make your life a lot easier with this technique 💡 a canvas is possible but the movement works against you the whole time.

[@lesleysholes]

@@UnboundedArtandCrafts thanks hun xx

[@lesleysholes]

@@UnboundedArtandCrafts i ha ve sandblasted layered coloured glass using this method but do jot have access to a sandblaster now, this would be great to have a go. Thank you xx

[@lesleysholes]

@@UnboundedArtandCrafts I wonder if I packed the back of the canvas tight to make it more solid...hhmm.. i.ll try on a small one, or go looking in hubbies garage. I live rurally so there are no shops. Also I note about the satin exterior paint... which I can,t get either. I paint pour, so might experiment with my additives to acrylic paint too. You have totally inspired me. Thank you soo much. I have subscribed so will watch your others. I have covid right now, so once I.m better xx

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

Get well soon 🌹 The piece I'm layering in this video is a canvas and I'll be making a video on the process as it's a test 😉 As it's hard for me to get proper material too for various reasons. I have used pouring acrylic too but it doesn't really work other than as a color additives to the acrylic house paint. If you still want to try make sure it's fully fully cured and not a matt paint.
