(64) DIY Textured Wall Art with Gold Leaf/ Simple DIY Wall Art with Spackle!

DIY Textured Wall Art with Gold Leaf/ Simple DIY Wall Art with Spackle!
In this painting I am doing a really fun textured piece of wall art! This is so easy, anyone can do this at home for their own piece of wall art! I used spackle and a texture tool to create various shapes across the stretched canvas, and then used acrylic paints in light green and beige to finish the larger textured portions. I then used gold leaf to fill in the smaller half circles. Leaf and glue I used are linked below!
Spackle: amzn.to/37mK3AJ
Spatulas: amzn.to/37mTeRG and amzn.to/3xCyAaT
Gold leaf: amzn.to/3PlLSyW
Leaf Adhesive: amzn.to/3wnWPIS

I love your texture art pieces! The videos are so relaxing to watch and inspiring to try. Thank you for showing the use of gold foil- it looks awesome. After watching a tutorial I love seeing the full view of the final product. However things pop up on the screen and cover the images. Is there a way to show the final image beforehand in full?

[@amandasstudio]

Thank you so much! And thanks for the heads up on the ending, I will work on that to make sure you can see better pics of my final paintings :)

[@kimberlystephens3798]

Beautiful work , thank you for sharing your time and talent. I was wondering how thin or thick should i spread the spackling to prevent cracking or is there a way to seal it after?

[@amandasstudio]

I think any thickness (for me at least) over 1/4 inch is too thick and will crack. I've only had a couple crack and those were ones that I made way too thick.

[@josemouiche4051]

[@shaidawadood6612]

Hi your work is amazing. Can I know how to seal it without collecting dust at last? And did u apply varnish after completing the art work?

[@amandasstudio]

Before varnishing or sealing it, you can used canned air to remove any dust or hair from the surface.

[@balsemelmelki1980]

i love what you did ! and the texture is awesome 🤩 i have a question did you use only plaster ?

[@amandasstudio]

Thank you! Yes I am just using spackle.

[@cristinaenriquezart]

Nice! Ive a problem with the glue that I use for foil. You use one king but recommend another in the description (the one that I use, but not to happy with). Any other recommendations for foil glue?

[@amandasstudio]

The kind that I put in the description is what I am using in the video, I just put it in a different container. This glue dries tacky so that the gold leaf sticks to it.

[@Hasnah323]

Beautiful piece. Do you prime your canvas? Also, how do you seal/ protect the art at the end?

[@amandasstudio]

Thank you! All of the canvases I buy are pre-primed. I finish these with a spray varnish.

[@roxallane]

Would you be so kind to share the link to the finishing spray varnish 🙏

[@emilysee]

Hi. Such a beautiful piece. Newbie here. I see that you used modeling paste for some of your pieces and spackle for this one. How do they compare? I am thinking of doing a large piece on canvas for home deco. Worried about cracks. What would you recommend and any tips? Thanks.

[@amandasstudio]

I've been trying out whatever I can find for texture mediums. I like spackle because it is less expensive and as long as I don't make it too thick it doesn't crack for me.

[@gammie1017]

This looks so cool. How much drying time between spackling the canvas and adding the paint?

[@amandasstudio]

I wait a day!

[@mylnaya_opera]

красиво

[@amandasstudio]

Thank you!

[@DianaPerez-lf2dr]

Do you recommend applying primer prior to applying the texture paste?

[@amandasstudio]

My canvas are preprimed so I do not but you can if you want to.

[@karenwilliams9523]

Awesome work. What type of paint are you using. Please and thank you.

[@amandasstudio]

I am using acrylic paints.

[@MrRookie714]

Beautiful artwork, keep at it, good job I need some help. My girlfriend started to do her own, but she says hers canvas started to crack, could it be the type of spackle she’s using? Too much? Not mixing enough? Or could it be the paint? Or is it normal? Thanks

[@amandasstudio]

It could be how thick she has it on the canvas. I just did another one a few days ago and I made it really thick and it is the first one that I've had crack.

[@MrRookie714]

Ok thanks, I’ll let her know, and thanks for the reply

[@ketanagatta]

Can you tell the process to make this perfect texture?

[@jillabrams34990]

What do you use to protect the whole painting and the gold? Any suggestion on finishing?

[@amandasstudio]

I just used a spray varnish to protect the piece.

[@JavadFatemi_Art]

[@pamelascott3184]

Gorgeous! What is this you're brushing onto it from the squeeze bottle?

[@amandasstudio]

Thank you, that is glue.

[@aishakhan1021]

Hi, what did you spray before you applied gold leaf?

[@amandasstudio]

Glue!

[@debhowes1709]

What is in the little squirty bottle at the beginning? Glue? Do you let it dry before painting? Thanks very much

[@amandasstudio]

Yes it is glue and I let it dry before adding the leaf. It dries tacky.

[@thabitiwaters2976]

Let dry before adding the gold leaf?

[@priyankam1352]

What glue you have used. And after leaf paisting u did varnish. Which varnish ?

[@amandasstudio]

This is the glue: amzn.to/3SegJ1X

[@auzitaasrani6235]

Hi Can I use the modpodge plaster of Paris texture below oil painting instead of acrylic ?

[@amandasstudio]

I don't know how well oil paint would work but you could try it out. And yes, plaster of paris should also work. I've only used it a little bit so I don't know if it would crack at all.

[@thebradderlife]

Hi did you have to put anything on the sparkle in order to paint on it? Or did you just paint after it dried?

[@amandasstudio]

I just painted on it after it dried, no need to prime it but you could if you wanted to.

[@zainabsajid9628]

Can you please share the name of that white tool u used to create the design?Cant find the link for it in the description

[@amandasstudio]

They are cake icing decorating tools!

[@beingspecialsucks]

once the plaster/filler is dry, can it be painted over with acrylics?

[@amandasstudio]

Yes I painted this after the spackle was dry.

[@lisahare267]

How long does it take the spackle in description to dry please? Thank you.

[@amandasstudio]

I let it dry for a day.

[@amisadia]

Does the paste need to be wet/damp for the gold leaf to stick to?

[@amandasstudio]

No I let it dry first and then glue the gold leaf down.

[@dianalow2867]

Hy.... After its finish do you add anything to avoid dust to your art work ??? If yes what do you use Tqvm

[@amandasstudio]

You can add varnish. You can also use canned air to remove and hair or dust if anything settles on the painting.

[@TheCelestevr]

nice - pls can i ask - what material is the white main stuff? filler? acrylic?

[@amandasstudio]

Spackle

[@dorothymaurer7259]

Can you paint before the spackle drys or is it best to wait?

[@amandasstudio]

I wait for it to dry, you'll ruin the design if you try and paint it while wet.

[@dorothymaurer7259]

@@amandasstudio Thank You

[@onlyme883]

Do you wait until the spackle is dry before you move to the next step

[@amandasstudio]

Yes I do!

[@plateandeat7495]

What board do you recommend? Canvas or mdf

[@amandasstudio]

Either work; this one is on canvas but I have also worked on wood. I think it is just personal preference.

Magnifique travail mais quelle texture employez-vous?

Where do I find those scraper tools? Thanks very much

[@amandasstudio]

I linked the scrapers in the video description :)

[@adyaaf7232]

Could you plz tell me the exact steps..cause I am interested to make one.How long you want after each step ?

[@amandasstudio]

Put the spackle down, crate the arches or shape on the canvas with tools and let it dry. I let mine dry for a day. Add the glue for the gold leaf and then finished it with acrylic paints.

[@AMYV3]

Beautiful. Ok probably dumb question lol. If you put glue on the whole half circle how come it doesn’t stick to the whole circle. I see it only sticks to top. But if there’s clue on the whole things why just the rings ? Lol see lol

[@amandasstudio]

The gold leaf is very fragile and tore while I was trying to place it on the texture, so it is just something that I can add more leaf to, to fill in those other areas that had glue on them.

[@DianneOnly1]

Hi. Can you please tell what's the white paste you use to make the texture?

[@amandasstudio]

Spackle!
