Can you use house paint as an art supply? Arty Stuff Vlog May

[@reginalord9345]

I love that you use a bit of house paint. The only people that care about what kind of paint you use are other artists. In the 15 years I've been selling art, I've very rarely had a collector ask specific questions about the supplies I use. Plus, I've always thought it a bit ridiculous that we should guarantee 100+ years of paint vibrancy. If it lasts as long as the person is going to like it and hang it in their home, then we've done our job -- especially for the price we charge.

Oh, my gosh, the framed collage landscapes look absolutely gorgeous on the wall. They're optimistic, fresh, colourful and each one really interesting to look at. I don't think I'd ever tire of looking at them. Just lovely!

A famous Brit art forger, John Myatt, used house paint for his forgeries and it fooled a lot of experts for a long time. He did some jail time and turned things around, and I think he's great, but you should check him out. At least with house paint you can go to the hardware store and get the formulas for any color mixes you want to do.

Gosh Denise I just love your videos! I literally make a cup of tea and sit down with you, so yes, I love the conversation 💚 All the things that scare me about doing KZbin videos, you battle with and yet you are so excited about it! You go girl!! And guess what, still I hear every word beautifully too! Keep sharing lovely! PS “Done is better than perfect!” PPS I think Certificates of Authenticity are really for insurance too!

Hello Clair, i have discover you not long time ago. My passion is also the colors, the flowers,, nature and to paint ..;I'am living in the south of France, so too far away from you to visit you and to give you a kiss for who you are and for your creation; don't be afraid, you are an artist and you give what you have in your heart and we can feel it every time, and i enjoy the sweet emotion from your paint

[@WendyW123]

I've been binge watching all your videos Clair and I am absolutely inspired and thankful to you for rekindling my need to create, after a year long painters block and loss of confidence. You are an angel!!! 😇💕

[@ClairBremnerArt]

You are so welcome!

[@minihoney13]

I'm binge watching too. Newbie 🥰

[@angelinamichelle8474]

Yes! Dont forget the amazing Floetrol. Use instead of water to keep the pigment stable at higher dilutions. I love Matisse Australian paints. And Bunnings baby! Loved your vid. Thanks

[@lisarubywinnie9215]

Oh oh.... im off to bunnings now...lol not sure if hubby will be happy with that or not lol... Thankyou for the amazing tips x

[@cindypatterson8157]

[@katiecastellanos1484]

I had a bunch of sample pots of house paint and I love to use them for practice before I use the expensive paint and it works great!

I'm obsessed with collage ATM and I think yours are beautiful!

[@gailresources8120]

I always enjoy your videos so much. I also admire how you try new things, your collage process really encourages me and my desire to do more. And no the workers aren’t distracting. Probably are to you though! 🎨

[@shonarosemarybaker9211]

Hi Clair! What a fabulous excuse to visit Warbuton again. Love that place and love your art! Would be super cool to meet you too.

[@pattykelly6621]

You're in good company. Picasso used house paint on his canvases too. I think lots of artists do. Also, its obviously what artists use to paint murals and they last a very long time. But if you use sample pots of house paint, they definitely need to sealed with a varnish.

[@junemaguire5053]

Thankyou I had always wondered about using house paint .

[@lidanaude8022]

❤ the kitty makeover!! Adorable!

[@artgirl6784]

Even though the neighbors were quite noisy I could still hear you quite well.

Hi Clair, Love the collage, if you tear the paper in the opposite direction you won’t get the white edge. 🌈🦋

[@jamesgriffith8767]

I have always wondered what the difference is in a 15$ tube and a 30$ gallon of the same paint color.

[@SashaFitzgerald]

lovly paintings

[@guitardee1]

The house pain’t in South Africa isn’t great but I’ve done exactly what you do. Why not? All the good brands in South Africa are imported, golden , Liquitex etc. No more Matisse although we used to get. The only Australian brand is Mont Marte but it seems very thin so I stopped buying it. Not much pigment

[@cindypatterson8157]

Hey Claire, its a great idea to use household acrylic...not everyone can afford to buy professional paints..

[@maggiesmith6519]

So much info and goodness thank you!!!!!❤️

[@tinkybaker6594]

Great vlog. Lots of good info. Thank you! 😃

[@shrideviamashi]

Millions of likes claire

[@youangelique1]

Really nice!

[@conniejackson7913]

My cousin uses gloss house paint exclusively in all her paintings

[@robinaanstey3734]

So can you use the structured paint on its own without diluting it? I like the idea of using house paint as a block in color...it would save $$ on artist paints thats for sure.

[@ClairBremnerArt]

Yes you can use the structure paint right out of the tub, it’s just very thick so I tend to water it down a little bit first but you don’t have too. It depends on the effect you are going for. ☺️

[@lynnehall246]

Love your work isyourbook still available ?

[@nicolelocas77]

on peu avoir des cours en francais sur youtube merci

[@lindajames960]

Is “structure” paint what we call gesso?

[@ClairBremnerArt]

No it’s not gesso, the “structure” just referred to the paint brand and the fact that is a heavy body / thick acrylic paint. The paint is call Matisse Structure Acrylic
