- In this video I talk about two acrylic gel mediums that I currently use to create texture in my art as well as how to add acrylic paint color of your choice to customize your own creations. I go through the process of mixing the acrylic paint into the gel mediums, how to clean up, and some supplies that have helped me on my artistic journey.

Finally an alternative to Fimo!!! I've been creating miniature and small acrylic brooches for years but the baking can really go wrong with them - you have to watch them bake or they fry!. This is much easier, lighter and drying without me present! Yippee!!!! Can't wait to start! This method combines my first love of cake decorating and painting. Awesome!
Yay! I’m so glad to hear! This is really an incredibly great medium to try out, I really do hope it helps you on your journey! Such a bonus too with adding two things that you love! ❤️
Great video. Look forward to seeing more videos 😃
Thank you so much for the support! Working on creating more videos soon, I appreciate your patience while I work on getting more content to you all!❤
Awesome video....Thank you so much to go in depth of these....I was struggling to find the best one for me as Gaffrey is charging high shipping... I have ordered Golden High Solid as per your suggestion on Instagram...i will start working with it soon....
It's fun watching u... I don't miss out anything from you ..like i haven't started doing this art but just watching u is fun....
I would really want you to create rose and other flowers with these 2 gel mediums and show us so to get deeper understanding ❤❤
Lots of love to you 🎉❤
Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I greatly appreciate the support! I'm glad that Gaffrey has expanded to international shipping, but sad to hear that their shipping costs are high. I hope that Golden's High Solid works well for you!
Love that you are starting on this journey! Enjoy the ride, it's a fun one!☺
I also appreciate the feedback, it really helps me decide what to do moving forward! I have a tutorial coming up that uses just GAM, but I'll be sure to keep in mind adding Golden in the mix too for future videos.
❤Thanks again!
We loved your video❤❤.....m&d a.
Thank you so much mom and dad! So appreciative of your love and support! ❤
Unfortunately the alternative product is also not available in our location....but i really liked this acrylic 3d art....i have asmall doubt can we use acrylic wall putty instead of both the texture pastes that you use????....i hope you will respond to my request please answer because i am watching this type of art since 3months now i find your channel which is very very helpful....
Hello! I’m sorry to hear that both of these companies are not available in your location. I have never tried the homemade versions like joint compound or wall putty, but I think you’re right. Doubt that they have the same texture and may not hold their shape as well, etc. Unfortunately, these are the only two that I’ve had the chance to use and research. I’ll have to do some digging and see what I can come up with! ❤
Thanq so much for your response....please find alternative if possible.....and your videos are very informative...😊
Hi can we add normal fevicryl acrylic colors to heavy textured paste
Hello! I haven’t tried fevicryl acrylic colors before, but I’d imagine it would work just fine. However, I personally like using heavy body acrylic paint color to keep the thickness of the medium/paste consistent.
@@artfullyausdemoreco thanq so much
Is there any way we can make this consistency paint at home without buying ?
Great question! I have never tried the homemade versions before, but I know that there are a lot out there! Not sure if they all have the same results though. That’s something that is definitely on my list and will need some time to research.
@@artfullyausdemoreco yeah I've been looking around and playing with the idea but haven't found anything suitable quite yet... it'd be nice to have a cheap, homemade alternative that doesn't mold or anything
@@eclecticcreations23 I completely understand, I know that these paints can add up. I think that finding homemade options are great for those that just want to experiment and just have fun with this style of paint. However, if you’re interested in having your creations long term or possibly selling your work, I do suggest investing. Since these paints are archival and are created to last etc, but who knows, there maybe a way to make homemade just as good! 🤷🏻♀️
@artfullyausdemoreco yeah that's what I'm thinking, even messing around with different textures... ibhavnt come up with anything remotely similar... I even tried whipping up the mixtures haha! Yeah I've settled on just buying the medium outright.... I just wasn't sure if anyone came up with a viable solution
@@eclecticcreations23 when time allows, I’ll have to do some researching!
Its called canvas primer also? Am i right?
Hello! Maybe you’re thinking of gesso? I use gesso as a primer for my canvases.
