[@archashok2682]

Love your works... 😍Hi can you please mention the plaster material and as well as what paint you use??

[@bricheese473]

Finally a tutorial where the pieces DO NOT look like DIYs! The little details make such a difference😍 trying the second one this weekend!

[@casa_refined]

Yay! Thank you!

[@lilyrose7082]

The thing that separates you from other diy’ers is they’re simple yet elegant and easy to do! While watching your diy’s I have the confidence to try them myself! I love everything you do Jorge! 🥰😊

[@AmandaSmith-vr3vb]

I’m so happy the KZbin algorithm brought your channel to me haha your work is contemporary, refined but still approachable, and your demeanor is so genuine. Thank you!

[@casa_refined]

I'm happy to hear that! Thank you for following along!

[@clairebeane3455]

Ditto!! I found Jorge today and immediately subscribed. I have already shared some of the videos. I am probably about ten video views in now. This is right up my alley, particularly having recently moved into a new space.

[@HunnersDesigns]

My favorite is “do I feel bad about painting over it? Yeah, is it going to stop me? Probably not” 👌🏼 solid DIY tips 😄

[@mariaiqbalart]

But it killed me that he didnt let some of the paint n texture peek thru. It wouldve been more dimensional

[@TorchAndWillowDesigns]

I am a master woodworker/ furniture maker and have owned my business for 25+ years, and I have an easy and awesome tip for floating frames that I use for clients that can't afford the actual thing: All you need is weather stripping. It comes in a variety of thicknesses so you can make the gap as wide as you want. You can wrap all four sides of the canvas, making sure you cut the strip lengthwise because you dont want the strip showing from the front of the canvas and make sure to stick it all the way towards the back of the canvas to conceal it. You only need a thin strip lengthwise and then whatever thickness you choose for the gap between the canvas and frame. You can also cut short strips and stick three or four of them on each side like one on each end and one or two in the middle of one side and then repeat on the other three sides of the canvas. Make sure to use the foam weather stripping not the vinyl or rubber for the bottons of doors for a threshold. I can attach some links for anyone interested and then you can look from there for a price point that you like. Make sure to pay attention to the THICKNESS as that will determine the thickness of your gap. You don't want it to be too much of a gap or you'll see the stripping. For a small canvas I would recommend 1/8", 1/4" for medium and 1/2" for a large. Anything larger and you might see the stripping. If you buy black it will camouflage with the shaddow of the gap. If you can't find black, just paint the stripping with any black paint; acrylic, chalk or spray paint will work. Once you have the stripping on your canvas sides, attach the 1X2's, corner trim, or whatever lumber of your choosing the way you normally would, making sure you put the brad nails towards the back and through the stripping into the canvas frame. It looks like an actual floating frame and turns out beautifully every single time. Here's some links to get you started. The first two links are the same brand but different thicknesses found on Amazon. There's also links for The Dollar Tree, Walmart, Lowe's and The Home Depot. You can also try Target, Dollar General, Harbor Freight, Ace Hardware, Sutherlands, and so on. Happy DIYing!! I hope I didn't confuse anyone with my explanation.

[@nancybowers7402]

Its just my opinion but I think you should sign your pieces. You never know if you will ever put it in an art exhibit.

[@katieholsinger645]

What Nancy said.

[@SoulfulBreakthroughs]

I agree.

[@Coco-rw2qx]

Agree !

[@melindacoleman3114]

Yep! You really should.

[@jocelynadams6678]

That's when you need to sign it. I sign all mine never had any adverse reacttions.

[@justlikekris]

You do the most upscale DIY's I've seen. So nice to not see another "Dollar Tree" upscale video!

[@melindacoleman3114]

Amen!!!!!

[@lb1367]

Love this! Can’t wait to try this out!

[@CallitPureJoy]

“By the way you’re welcome to copy this, I really don’t care as long as you just have fun while doing it” Ugh such a humble artist. But still you deserve the credit! I’m a massive believer of respecting someone’s idea by crediting them 💕 I’m so glad KZbin suggested this channel to me!! I just subscribed! I will try to create one and will absolutely credit you! 🙏🏼

[@liliflood2470]

Thanks

[@sheripie5]

I feel so cheated on talents when I see humans like this that are just so crafty and come up with the most amazing pieces. These are beautiful!!

[@emilymangiaracina54]

What size trowel did you get? Your ideas are so amazing!!

[@annondemand6607]

Hi Jorge! Can you please list what paints exactly you used?

[@Yanneek_]

Thank you for all the effort you’re putting into your channel! I think I speak for the masses when I say it is GREAATTLYYY appreciated! Your creativity for luxury DIY is unmatched 🙌🏾✨

[@SparkIMO]

I stumbled upon this video and after watching it I seriously thought, Wow, what just happened!?! I had to watch this video twice because I was just blown away by these DIY art pieces!

[@casa_refined]

I appreciate that Carla!

[@yckieh568]

I just discovered you yesterday and OBSESSED doesn’t even describe how I feel about your videos. Amazing content!!!! Keep the videos coming.

[@HunnersDesigns]

Okay, that paint splatter really did add that last little bit of detail that made a difference!!

[@nicole8946]

I'm sooo glad I found your channel! Almost all other diy channels I've seen only make projects in farmhouse or boho styles. I'm so excited to try some of your diys !!

[@SamUndJet]

Great Job, Jorge, on all three art projects. I love the reuse of thrift-store art, most of which is sorely in need of redemption. The frame work is excellent, especially on the first one, with the gilded fabric and matte black frame. The art on all three is very nice, but the third struck my fancy most. You are a gifted presenter, very natural, relaxed and to the point. Thank you so much . I’m inspired that I might be able to do something similar..

[@phyllisjrcrestorationdecordesi]

Hi Jorge, my favorite is the second art ( the smaller version of the large on AND I love the frame). I'll try this one day. TFS

[@casa_refined]

You can do it!

[@InfonTech]

If anyone can let me know, in 2nd project, if he had used something to give that canvas a plain look while the actual canvas has a texture itself .

[@karlauesson]

Wonderful art. Are you using acrylic paint with the filler/ plaster? Then spraying it with acrylic seal? (So new to this but so keen to try textured art!)

[@aileentoomey9627]

You have a real aesthetic sense. Yes, as Nancy Bowers says, you should sign your art. Not everyone has this special quality. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@kajnadams]

I have so many of these vintage wood frames, I never know whether to paint or leave as-is! Well now I know...the black with gold looks SO GOOD!

[@katiehall9873]

i love all of them you make it seem easy one question does the compound ever crack after it dries

[@sabbean]

As long as your art brings you joy and peace that is all that matters.

[@Tygres55]

That’s what I should have used! Joint compound. I used plaster of Paris, gave a good result but if I move the painting sometimes the plaster flakes off in small spots.

[@julz5244]

What is better to use Plaster or Joint Compound? The joint compound was cracking but I've never tried plaster?

[@thesoundofeverything8023]

Color paint used? Tk you. I loved the cream color!!❤️❤️🏆

[@TVArtGallery]

Don’t forget to utilize your TV for this haha. I was wondering how I can display art on TVs for decoration. I created art screensavers on KZbin and they look so amazing. I now can turn any tv into Art display. 😊

[@lauriefeagle1844]

I like them all as is because they are your creations. I have bought about 9 oil paintings that I either got from thrift shops or on "very good sales" at various stores that I intend on creating my own diys with. Some came with frames, some without.

[@casa_refined]

That's great! Are there any ones you will keep as is?

[@lauriefeagle1844]

@@casa_refined No, because I already have several on my walls that I have had up as my decor. The ones I bought to do diys with are not anything I would use with my decor nor do they go with.my color scheme. I just wanted the canvases and frames.

[@luzrose588]

So amazing. I have a 4 year grand daughter who loves art and I’ll be helping her work on something like this one so easy looking. Great work. You are talented.

[@EforiaDIY]

These are beautiful! Thank you for this video. You are such an inspiration to me 😍❤

[@brenmanock]

Finally some sophisticated decor. No signs and cutesy bows

[@jamespatrick1548]

Jorge, you have a great aesthetic and I watch what you do in the background with your own home as much as I do the projects. The rope-around-the-bowl with cement looked ridiculous at first but the finished product looked incredible! Your designs are simple, elegant, and understated while adding earthy textures with wood and stone (..and concrete). I remodel homes and I'm always looking for inexpensive DIY’s (got to keep those costs down!!) as I sell or rent the real estate furnished and “as is” once I finish. Great job, I wish you the best of luck.

[@ammarashahid3463]

Your work is excellent . Please i want to get some knowledge about stoneware n earthware n from where we can buy this type of clay

[@melissarocha9339]

The last one was actually my favorite!!!!!

[@harsharama4805]

Can u elaborate on how you mounted your art piece onto your DIY float frame?

[@poshnmagick]

Jorge. I love love love how much you are as person. The way you present yourself and sharing your knowledge! Thank you

[@barbharris1799]

Love your artwork because of all the textural and neutral colors you use. the one you said had a chalkboard affect seemed more like delicate rice paper over a rustic wall. combos of rustic and delicate are very appealing!

[@rubyfaisal8736]

Great ideas What kind of paints did you use?I am totally new to painting

[@zahidaabed1042]

I watch your videos over and over again. Absolutely love your work and I'm finally going to try some of your ideas. Would love to see a water feature incorporating your amazing ideas . Busy with my outdoor patio area and I'm eager to build one.

[@70sgirl8]

What kind of paint did you use?

[@jane2089]

What do you recommend additional materials if you will use gypsum powder

[@christineefreeman505]

Jorge, how has the foam board held up with the joint compound? Any cracking, sagging or give to it? Loving your projects! Thanks for sharing.

[@dhvanibunneh]

The textured canvas turned out sooo luxe looking!

[@casa_refined]

Such a nice complement! ❤

[@dinaleonard3895]

Is it possible to put color pigment on joining compound? Please answer, I have a proyect in mind and that will be very useful.TIA

[@frightbat208]

Inspiring. My daughter has turfed a boring old seascape from her room in a basic frame. I have been looking at it for weeks in our Worksop, thinking I could paint over it, and use for our living room above a shabby chic cabinet. 👍🏻

[@DriaLii]

Great inspo video! Even though these are DIY pieces, do you think the materials used (paint etc) are good enough to sale DIY pieces. Or would you recommend a better quality of acrylic paint. Thx! New sub 💛

[@ambergalbreath1652]

What kind of white paint do you use to paint over pre existing art?

[@shahkeyomi]

For project 2, how did u put the canvas on the frame? It was wow!

[@emilytaylor6673]

do you prime the canvas for the second one? does the joint compound crack?

[@SuperClarke24]

Amazing work. What kind of paint do you use?

[@qiqivassandra9760]

hi i just came across ur channel. this looks interesting to try on. may i know what's the name of the cement like paste u used on the 2nd artwork? Thanks ♥️

[@lauriejensen2151]

You just inspired me to make my first art piece. Omg it’s addicting. I can’t wait to do more! Thanks for sharing your talents w the works and inspiring others to give it a try! So fun!

[@lynnheise4433]

My favorite one was the white one where you used the trowel. Very modern and high end looking. I like the fact that you incorporate what you learned from your schooling into your DIY's. I am learning a lot from you. Thankyou. Also, i think you should start signing your artwork.

[@uprayup]

I love the wall art. Does the puddy hold up?

[@unclepaulsthoughts]

Nice, I use DryDex Dry Time Indicator Spackling Paste With Pink top. It goes on pink but dries white. Love it because I can tell when it is dry.

[@papercrowns1470]

This is exactly the kind of video I’ve been wanting, DIY art, is amazing, your pieces are amazing!!!

[@rosemariegannabaars1969]

Vielen, vielen Dank, sooooo wunderbar deine Bilder ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

[@lindahawkins8521]

For us beginners...Please indicate what type of paint you’re using. 😁 Thank you for your awesome videos!

[@liliflood2470]

Lovely video ♥️ can you put a link for the paints u used on the first painting please 😘

[@donnahenson812]

I like them all. I just moved from farmhouse to like minimilist and this wall art is all over Amaxon for 54.00 to 84.00. I am glad I found your page becuase I am making my own!

[@danielkessler3133]

Love the last piece the most! All are good, but the last grabbed my aesthetic.

[@chelin7023]

What kind of paint do you use? I have a huge canvas painting (ugly), I want to “convert” in something more attractive and thought to use regular latex house paint; would it work?

[@derekdombrowski2273]

Hi. Can you tell me what kind of paint for the joint compound art? Thank you!

[@k8marlowe]

Yay! I love that I have finally found someone with the same taste in decor as I have. No offense to the farm-house loving, shabby chic people out there, but it’s just not me. I can’t wait to try some of these brilliant and beautiful projects!

[@lemonhead1486]

So my fave moment was when you said would you feel guilty painting over it but whill get overr it.

[@SirCarlosGaming]

What do you call that paste material in the bucket? That is what I need. Lots of that.

[@taniah5368]

Love! Are you using acrylic paints?

[@casa_refined]

Thank you! 😄 I'm just using crafting grade paint for the purpose of the video, but would use acrylic for better quality.

[@Laydeeday9]

I am as picky as they come but your esthetics and your step by step made me go out and buy all of the needed supplies!I muchas gracias por la inspiración 🥸

[@vonitamia9487]

Hola jorgito qué material es ese por favor digo la pasta blanca gracias 🙏

[@lucybethune5735]

I love love love what you just did, “Soooo Cool”!! I love that joint compound, it gives such great texture, something we’re always looking for😎👍

[@kevin.molina]

I've been looking to do large scale wall art for my tall walls and these gave me some great ideas. Great video.

[@pamelapeterson2987]

Definitely will be trying the troweled art piece...and also the floating frame....been looking to do a very large, peaceful, minimal art piece...think I'll spray paint the frame in metallic copper and do some layered troweling on the canvas. Thanks so much for the idea and inspiration!.

[@casa_refined]

Lovely idea! Enjoy 🥰

[@yzolakitchi]

Loved these! Thanks so much for the inspiration :-) The floating frame is just what I needed to learn about. Can you explain a little about how you secured the canvas to the frame. Particularly on a huge piece. Is it stuck in there permanently once the frame is fitted or could the artwork be removed if you wanted to redo the design in the future? Superb video as ever. Do you have any plans to do an AMA video at any point? Am sure we all have questions about your projects and channel we'd love you to answer :-) :-)

[@bernicemiera2092]

I am enjoying your videos, & I love your warm & casual approach. I will be sharing. I am an artist, stained glass, fused, lamp work, & faux finishes. If I might share with you, I have found when I’m creating a wood illusion, I will use a black wax shoe polish & rub it in, and take wipe it off. I will also flick an small amount white paint onto parts of the frame, as well as flick a very small amount gold if I want a wow factor. I learned a number of my techniques in a high end design house, and would create custom finishes for the designers. Now I just have fun! See you again soon. B. Miera

[@aniini]

the tiling trowel artwork is really nice.

[@angemarie12]

What kind of paint are you using to paint the designs? I'm rewatching. I love what you did, especially the paint splattering. So smart. I bought a huge framed print from a secondhand store a couple months ago, intending to make my own art. This was so helpful because I wanted to make sure it looked classy but unique. Not going to copy altogether, but the joint compound technique is brilliant. I have a giant tub wasting away in the basement!

[@brownet83]

What is that mud like thing you used for the 2nd art piece please?

[@irenemcknight5020]

I enjoyed the second piece the most and also really liked the stain you did on the last one with the khaki color and the water down black. I could use this process when I’m adding texture to my vases I always get too much stain and blotch it up this will work great👍👍thank you. I always look forward to your video each week

[@masteringfemininepower]

I have two large square canvases that I bought during my "boho" days and I can't wait to turn them into something textured and white!

[@varieta9466]

Jorge you make this fun! I’ve watched many videos of this nature and the fact you make simple, updated, accessible, and up-cycled sets you apart! All the best!

[@jet7865]

Jorge is simply the best, he’s just has amazing content

[@marionandrews176]

All of them are beautiful! I a huge blank canvas and I think I’ll try the last technique. I want to frame it, but I live in an apartment and don’t have a saw. Any suggestions? I never built anything like that before.

[@iamlandy]

Hi, is the paint you use in the video are acrylic paint?”

[@JiniReddy]

What is the substance you used to make the textured artwork...its not listed in the description, I heard compound?

[@casa_refined]

Joint compound. Very economical

[@cncrissy555]

I almost by past your tutorial I am so glad I stopped to watch you I am stuck on SSDI so my budget is stricter than strict and I was trying to figure out what kind of artwork that I wanted to do and that's awesome but they wanted a hundred and sixty something dollars for three sets of paintings and I'm like oh my God it looks like I can do it myself for a heck of a lot cheaper and almost giving up until I saw your tutorial you have given me such inspiration and beautiful ways to where I can save money and I thought joint compound with such a terrific idea for artwork and I was trying to figure out I was going to use plaster because I also want to be able to make floor vases because I seen some that was so pretty but yeah Ike's $300 and I have all this cardboard that I saved app for home DIY projectsfrom the channel headboard that I wanted to make just didn't have the tools but since you giving me the inspiration and great ideas to save money elsewhere I'll be able to have the money to catch the tools on sale with the coupon thank you so much darling love I humbly appreciate you keep doing what you doing you just made me feel so good and gave me hope that poor people liking me can have something beautiful also Many Blessings Darlin Luv and Much Love-n-Peace 💜☮️🌹❣️.....P.S. your voice is so calming and you did it so nice and easy which also gave me more inspiration to try you made me happy so guess where I'm on my way to I'm on my way to Dollar tree Yeppie !!!!!!

[@nancymcgilvary3304]

What kind of white paint did you use to cover over the painting ? I just bought a painting and want to do that

[@JiniReddy]

Hi Jorge, thank you for all the videos. Your creativity is off the wall, I love it. I love DIY's and ever since I found your channel, i feel home, its affordable and classy. Lotsa love from South Africa. The first DIY it's called the rule of thirds. I love that you just go with what feels right, its awesome. Keep the videos coming, you do amazing work.

[@casa_refined]

Thank you very much! ❤

[@sabrina1935]

I love your diy. I'm pretty sure this original was a Jack Laycox painting called East River. 🤷‍♀️

[@Dk._]

Omg I just looked up Laycox and see prints going for hundreds and originals going for thousands!! Hopefully the one that got painted over was only a copy, but it was on canvas so I doubt it.

[@ilariazolia3827]

Hi! Love your works! What kind of paste/gesso do you use? I can find anything with that texture! Thank you :)

[@saltyyslayer]

Should I use a sealer after drying?

[@wilmaballes8038]

Does the joint compoud cracks over a long period of time?

[@jessicabrunelle9975]

I absolutely love your ART! That is totally the style that goes with my home decor… Your minimalist style definitely has an Asian vibe to it, especially project #2 reminds me of a Zen garden. I love the Asian style and incorporate it in every part of my home. I have used joint compound on pots for my outdoor plants but it looks absolutely amazing on a canvas, The vase in front of the wall art piece goes so well with the Asian look… I’m so thrilled I watched your video, I cannot wait to create all three pieces! Thank you so much for the ideas! I am so excited to watch all of your videos, I believe we have very similar taste in art! I have a BFA in fine arts but they never taught us anything cool like this! I am particularly enthralled with your style! 😎

[@lorettahmc]

I just made one with the drywall compound ! But it’s all cracked after drying. How can I fix this??

[@ondreaplays]

I’m literally obsessed with your videos. So excited to diy

[@luisvalero2169]

They all came out great & you should be proud to display them fresh off your hand painted & texture creative style. Thanks for sharing I'll try this soon also. U 😁😊 rock Jorge !!!!
