Si pinto con gouache , al poner el barniz encima la pintura no se corre?.He hecho el platito y quiero pintarlo ahora. Gracias por ensenar y compartir con nosotras su arte.If I paint with gouache, when I put the varnish on top the paint does not run? I made the little plate and I want to paint it now. Thank you for teaching and sharing your art with us.

[@AncaPoraIllustration]

The varnish i use is a special gouache gloss varnish which prevents the paint from running. You can find it in the description. Any regular acrylic or wood varnish will make the paint run if it is waterbased

[@DuttaShipra]

Great tutorial, Many thanks! Please share, If i paint it with ceramic paints, will baking it help, along with modge podge gloss coating, for colour's longevity?

I tried to do your lovely DIY but when I put the clay on the bowl after letting it dry for some hours it seemed very dry but it was kind of stuck on the bowl, I couldn't remove it properly! I had to wet it and break it unfortunately.. Do you know why? Maybe I should have let it dry longer, do you think it would help? Thanks

[@AncaPoraIllustration]

Hi Chloé . Sorry to hear it broke . I think maybe one solution would be to move it around while it's still wet on the bowl so it doesn't stick so hard to the bowl but it still maintains it's shape. Try not to apply too much pressure when adding the clay to the bowl. Hope this is somewhat helpful :D . Let me know if you succeed :D

[@ashley-dt2di]

Chloé use a layer of cling film between them!

[@flor3224]

Lovely video! The try looks great! Is the tray waterproof after the varnish? I know it is not food-safe, but I was wondering if I could use something made of air-dry clay to put underneath a plant pot. Thank you.

[@AncaPoraIllustration]

I think if you use a plant safe varnish you could use it to put underneath a plant pot. I personally haven't tried that as I am too afraid to damage my plants. Otherwise using just air dry clay without any varnish could potentially affect the air dry clay

[@ClioMako]

That is a great tutorial, very cute! Is this varnish safe if the bowl is used for eating, or should I go for clay varnish?

[@AncaPoraIllustration]

Thank you so much! It's definitely not safe for eating. This is just for decorative objects. I would suggest you go with clay varnish although it might not work with gouache

[@ClioMako]

Anca Pora Illustration I see, thank you for the information! I think I am going with acrylic and clay varnish on top. ;)

[@aradhanap1223]

Can we keep food inside it? I mean, is it safe ?

[@AncaPoraIllustration]

It is not food safe. This varnish and all the materials used in this video are for decorative purposes only. To make food safe dishes i would recommend looking into ceramics and food safe glazes

I have a question, can it be used for foods? like hot food, soup?

Hi there! No air dry clay is not food safe and neither are the paints and varnish used in this video. this is only for storing small trinkets and jewellery

[@angelagalati9519]

Hi lovely from Australia 😊 your work is beautiful thanks for sharing just wondering do you have a recipe for the air dry clay as I’m interested in trying and does it hold up in humidity ?

[@AncaPoraIllustration]

Hi! Thank you! I do not have a recipe.The only air dry clay i have used is the one you can find in stores. Also i am not sure about the humidity. Technically it shouldn't once it is dry. But depending on what you are using it for you might want to use a certain type of varnish or sealant

[@sanskritipatni2821]

Should I put primer before painting?

[@AncaPoraIllustration]

I suggest yes, if you are using acrylic paint i don't think it's necessary but if you will e using gouache then i suggest you coat the project in gesso or white acrylic. The varnish i use turns the clay into an off white color

[@soniad923]

What is the difference between gouache and watercolor? Is gouache like tempera paint?

[@AncaPoraIllustration]

The difference between the two is mainly the amount pf pigment. Watercolors tend to be more transparent and you can create pretty washes while gouache is more opaque. They are similar in their ingridients however and you can use gouache like watercolors bz thining them down with water. It just depends what look you are going for

[@daviddelgado7175]

Hello, I hope this message gets to you. I am interested in creating jewelry and I’m wondering if air-dry clay would be a good option? I do not have access to a kiln and I am looking for a similar alternative. Is there anything I use to make sure the air-dry clay jewelry is durable and waterproof?

[@AncaPoraIllustration]

Polymer is a good alternative if you don't have a kiln. Polymer clay can be baked in a regular kitchen oven. But i think air dry clay can be a good option for jewellery also. It really depends how big your jewellery pieces would be. But if you seal air dry clay it should stay waterproof.

[@mackenziestark1779]

I have a question. With air dry clay, do you *have* to use a sealant of some sort?? And is there anything you could use as a substitute for the sealant?

[@lokiluna9552]

you don't have to use a sealant if you don't want to, it's just going to have a matte finish then, so it's more of an aesthetic choice. just don't use water on your finished products as it is not waterproof
