BEST TEXTURED 3d WALL ART Tutorial | DIY Plaster Art

[@chrismcdermott7766]

you can use a wet sponge instead of sandpaper-smoother and no mess

[@HomeByMon]

Such a great idea ☺️ Will try it next time

[@trini-girl7908]

I definitely will try it on my next one. I used my wet gloves hand to help smooth it out.

[@Tomhdg]

❤❤❤❤❤ Hopefully some useful advice from a another artist: 1). Add white pva glue to slow the process and prevent cracking. 2). If you aren’t using plaster (cast) strips, cut your gauze down to manageable strips to layer without wrinkles. 3). Recycle old house paint or discounted wall paint to cut costs (a LOT cheaper than artists paint). I’m a huge “reuse, recycle, repurpose artist 😉. 4). If you want to avoid brush strokes, add a flow agent; floetrol is always my go to, but thinning with water works on a lot of acrylic based paints (just not all! Always test first)

[@HomeByMon]

Wow! Those are some nice tips! 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing them! Fun fact - I always use wall paint since it's so much cheaper 🤣💞

[@Tomhdg]

@@HomeByMon House paint…. me, too! It’s basically the same with just minor changes for consistency. As for the plaster cast strips, a little while back, I was commissioned to make “tree stumps” for a wedding table to hold a small cake and over 200 cupcakes (the tree stumps jutted out to hold some cupcakes while also holding the main extra large platter “stump” (it was almost 4 feet wide and 3 inches deep and resembled a cross section of a trunk), then a small stump on top of the cross section to hold the tiny wedding cake that was for just the bride and groom. I was sooooo thankful to be able to get the cast strips because it helped the plaster adhere so much easier. They reused all of it by coating with a strong sealer and put them throughout their garden. Surprisingly, the plaster has held up in the Florida rain! I think it was the pva glue that helped in bonding, but definitely spraying them down with a sealer did as well. I think your work is wonderful, and thanks for not getting upset over some of my advice!

[@HomeByMon]

@@Tomhdg What a story! I bought an acrylic sealer a month ago, but I haven't tried it yet. I will use it on a table I did with plaster and wall pait to test it. It's matt so I hope it doesn't look like it's been sealed 😅 Oh and why would I get upset 🥰 Your tips and advice is everything! Keep it up 💞

[@sarahgreen8409]

@@HomeByMonI was going to suggest pva glue as well and I also add white paint as well it gives a creamer consistency, and after u do the initial layer make the plaster a bit thicker it will hide the brush strokes and it’s easier to sand, but I really love the way they turned out, sometimes people don’t like getting hints or tips it offends them, I love getting them and I’m glad ur open to them, cos I always say the best artists never stop learning cos the best can always get better 😋

For sanding the plaster you could also use open mesh drywall sanding strops, much longer lasting. I’m thinking that acrylic pour painting techniques for the final coat. Love the art pieces!🙏🏻

I am delighted with your way of sharing these art secrets!! I've been talking to artists even without mastering the language, you know by translation... some ignore me, they don't say the material, they don't give tips. you did it step by step!! thanks. I just want to know more what is the material that goes on the screen? cement? tile grout? Marcos Antônio art teacher retired after 32 years. I retired in February today I want to discover more about my art that I didn't teach at school. I am from Brazil. Pleasure Miss Mon🌷👏👏👏❣️ Pelo Google tradutor

Hi, I'm so glad you like my art pieces 🥰 I am a DIY channel, I'm not an artist whatsoever, and I tried replicating some of the art pieces I saw on pinterest.

Metal mesh is much better- you have more control over the look and folds. You can use plaster cloth wrap to cut into smaller strips that are easy to place into hard-to-get spots.

[@rianadaniela]

Hy there, i love your work. I’ve tried to make one, but the plaster cracks . Do you know why ? Thanks

[@HomeByMon]

I'm so glad you like my projects! Plaster tends to crack sometimes, but when you add mesh tape it should prevent that. Another thing that helps, is not letting it dry too fast. Maybe set it to dry in a colder place. Also, make sure to mix the plaster by the instructions on your package 🥰

[@sdophoto1405]

Ok not sure what I am doing wrong. I have tried doing one of these 4 times using different methods and they never turn out.

Oh, no 😔 What's happening? It cracks or what?

@@HomeByMon no 1. I can not get nice ruffles 2. the paste looks really bad when it dries and not nice like yours

[@klannstyle]

18:44 As always, I do see things in abstract... things ;-) I forgot how this thing is named, but what matters here is what i see. I want to see how many other people see things in abstract things in art, nature w/e. So, what i see is something like a dear or similar animal, surrounded by trees. She might be eating some leaves or something else from that part. I would love to know how to paint or draw what i see and make unique art from my own perspective. I always love when I did photography, especially abstract one, that different people will see different things. I never wanted for people to see what i see, so that's why i never title my things. I just scribe something there but not as a title. Cheers from a photographer and maybe in the next life a small tiny artist!? ;-) I can draw just a little bit and recently i made my first colored drawings, but i'm not sure that my health will let me continue that journey. w/e. I do what i like to do so, i will go on on my remaining journey and without hope, will just love what life brings me and then what my ideas comes to life from that ;-)

[@HomeByMon]

Thank you so much for this amazing comment! 🥰 I look at my painting every day since it is hanged up on a wall in my living room (the second one) and I always see my dog Mars in it 💕

[@klannstyle]

hehe, that's kind of subjective, you know! You are influenced by sentiment and the cute dog. But it's not wrong and as long as you see something positive for you, that's the best you can get. I just hope that you will look around you and start to see new things and also draw them. I can't do that yet, but maybe soon i will can. I always wanted to do that and this is the most unique thing you can get. Visuals from life and still life around you and then put them on art mediums. I see good vibes in you and also you seem to enjoy even the tiniest thing you do. That's the spirit and keep it that way no matter what life will bring on. No matter what! Remember that. I always see the full part of the glass even if my life is only going down with everything. Creating new things every day, looking at other good people doing art, craft etc, that keeps me alive.
