There is an updated plaster mixture tutorial WITH MEASUREMENTS available on my channel for anyone who will find that useful. 🤎
This is the 1st tym i see an artist interacting with the querries,mostly they didnt even bother and not honest with their mixtures,i've been experimenting too and figuring out good mixtures,in my experience,my work tend to crack after drying...salute to u..keep it up❤
Thank you!! I’m more than happy to engage and keep it 💯. No gatekeeping here. Hope you’re able to find a balance with your mixture! 🤎🤎

Hey Beautiful Lady! Thank you for the tips, I have some ideas that i needed a thick texture for my painting. I hope it turns out. This looks like it will work great, and since i had a bucket of plaster sitting around and never did know what to do with it, now I know. :) Keep up the good work!
Thank you! So glad I could inspire you 🤎🤎
Eccellente ❤
🤎🤎🤎
Thats a real good tip u gave bout glue and acrylic paint..... Drying process reduces by adding them.... Thanku❤
I’m really glad you found it useful! 🤎
Love it definitely not a measurement girl either, thank you for your ingredients ❤ love your work
You get me lol! Thank you 🙏🏾 🤎
Thank for explaining so simply but so eloquently the process and the reasoning behind it. Like everyone else I’ve been looking to soooo many videos, yours is simple. Keep the good work. It would’ve been even better to see you using for your art. Ian going to look for your other videos. You have a new subscriber!
Thank you!! + You will definitely see me using the mixture in my other videos since I filmed tutorials right after. 🤎🤎
Bravissima ❤
Thank you!! 🙏🏾
Many thanks for a fabulous tutorial - many creators show what to add, but I love to know the “why” - that’s the part that allows you to adjust to your preference. To think I’ve been using joint compound, filler, smooth coat additive and all along I have POP sitting in my workshop…. “Smh”. New subscriber here - THANKYOU !!
Really glad to hear, thank you! 🤎🤎
Your experience with joint compound makes you more versatile!
🇴🇲 From the Sultanate of Oman, I would like to thank you very much, my dear, for this wonderful explanation. This video helped me a lot to understand the method of creating texture paste. I am very grateful to you.
🇴🇲 🇴🇲🇴🇲 Hi!!! I’m really glad you found the video helpful. I also dropped an updated video with measurements yesterday since I’ve been getting questions about that - in case that might also help. All the best! 🤎
I am now part of your “family” 😉 You seem so sweet and genuine ❤️
Thanks a million! 🤎🤎
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊. I plan to try that method. I am a beginner, trial, and error, you know.🎉😂😊
Have fun with it!! 🤎😂
Thankyou very much for the video.❤ If you clarify these questions i will be grateful.
1. Can we use wall putty or wall compound instead of plaster of paris?
2. Do we need texture pastes for mixing, is that mandatory?
3. What are reasons for getting cracks? And how can we overcome this problem?
4. Can we sell art by doing this way?
Thank you
Hi!!
1. Yes, suggesting you watch my latest video where I share a new a new joint compound material I’m working with.
2. Unclear what you mean. What I’m mixing is my texture paste and all ingredients added are listed.
3. Many reasons can lead to cracks, including wall putty with fillers that shrink a lot+layering too thickly. I share more details in my latest video.
4. Yes, my art is for sale.
Hopefully this helps, but I’ll suggest you check out my other videos as they provide further info. 🤎
@@thezendoc thankyou for response. I saw your recent video. I understood that we cannot use joint compound for think layers. Thankyou
Love this process. Do you just store out in the dry place or in the fridge 🙈
Thank you! Store in a container you can close to prevent it from drying out but no need to refrigerate. 😅
This is very helpful., thank you so much. I just start to do it and I don't know about it needs glue mixes with plaster aswell, so my plaster keeps cracking.. Thank you so much❤
I’m so glad to hear that. Hope it works out great! 🤎
Nuova iscritta😊
🤎🤎🤎
Hey amazing video 😍 btw can we use this for texture painting on walls ?
Thank you! I think it would work well, but I’ve never painted on walls so proceed with caution 🤎
Love this and how you explain it!! You’re very helpful in how you describe why you do things. I bought everything you have and tried to make it the same but mine solidified 😢 did I not add enough glue?
Oh no! Question: when did it solidify? Was it immediately or hours after? If immediately, then I’d recommend adding more glue and paint, you can check out my updated tutorial with measurements. If it appears to somewhat solidify hours later, add a little bit of water and you’ll likely be able to keep coating your brush with a creamy paste. Hopefully this helps!
Love your video, so easy to follow...Will either of your recipes crack once dried? TIA
Cracks are caused by a multitude of factors, including how you work with the mixture and the environment you work in. I hardly experience cracks with my mixtures but that doesn’t guarantee that you won’t. Recommending you watch my updated mixture videos where I share more details.
Thankyou for sharing, is there other plaster mixture other than Plaster of Paris? I never seen this product in NZ.
I am not sure what’s available in NZ, but gypsum and joint compound are also great options!
Thank you for this tutorial. Can i use white cement as plaster and top bond ad the glue in my country? Im from Nigeria and i really want to get into this aspect of art but getting exact ingredients you used here is difficult
Hi, it’s worth a try. Unfortunately, I haven’t worked with white cement so I can’t speak on it.
Since this has both glue and acrylic paint is it also flexible? Also can it be used in thin silicone molds?
I’m not sure what flexibility means here but yes, it should work with silicone molds. Cement is also a great option for molds.
Hello ma'am. Is it good to add white cement or gesso or other powder to thicken more the mixture..pliable to use in pre-forming leaves petals...etc..forming it before putting it in its place in an artwork .
While I’ve never worked with white cement or added gesso to my mix (it’s cheaper to use acrylic), I’m a big advocate for giving things a try. I’m fully self taught, so all I know has been from trial and errors. I don’t see why adding white cement won’t work, keep in mind this is my most basic recipe so sometimes I add in other mediums depending on circumstances. Another option would be to keep your plaster mix really thick and use less water. Perhaps a 4:1 plaster-water ratio? I recommend trying a small batch. Good luck!!
@@thezendoc thank you very much.
How do you clean up the paste? Will it damage pipes if you wash in the sink?
Great question! Yes, it will clog your pipes. I always let mine settle and then I drain the water and pour the plaster in a plastic bag or container to discard.
Nice Content. I am your new subscriber. I have a question.
1. You have mention the ratio but in general - but in practical way to avoid cracks in the future what must be the standard ratio.
2. What is the brand of your Plaster of Paris.
3. How many hours shall I dry the paste before I will paint it.
Thank you
Sure thing!
1. I do not use or believe in a specific standard ratio, my mixture is different every single time depending on how I mix and what consistency I want (sometimes thick, sometimes watery). For me, the ratio isn’t what prevents cracks. In my experience, joint compound/spackling paste are what cause cracks because they shrink a ton when drying and I’ve not had cracks since I stopped using them in my mixture. I can probably do a video on cracks at some point + I’m work on a mixture with specific ratios this weekend for anyone who wants that, so stay tuned!
2. Brand is DAP - you can also find links in the description!
3. 24-48 hours on average. It also depends on how thickly you’ve applied your layers.
@@thezendoc Thank you for your reply
😊😊😊😊😊❤❤

I’ve been watching a lot of tutorials on this kind of work and I’ve noticed so many different kinds of recipes. Some use joint compound, some use sparkle and others use plaster of Paris and all of them mix it with Elmer’s glue but none of them also use acrylic Paint in the mix. Besides giving it a longer work time, is there another reason to use paint as well? I’m an artist and I’m working on a very large, life size, sculptural tree that has a lot of fantasy aspects to it. I’m going to cover all the branches with the mesh, then I’ll probably then cover the mesh with a homemade bandage kind of thing which is made with a loose weave material cut into long strips and dipped in a watered down mix of Elmer’s glue, water and baking soda. I’m using that instead of the bandage strips because of cost and I don’t want it to be extremely brittle. Being a large tree, even if I’m careful, the branches are bound to move slightly, causing cracks.
What do you think about that? Do you think this mixture you’ve shared might work for my project?
Hi! Elmer’s glue alone will not prevent the plaster from setting in minutes, I’ve experimented. You need a combination of the glue and acrylic or some kind of medium. Everyone has different preferences so I’m not surprised you’re finding different options. I think this might work well for your tree as it allows for flexibility, you should probably test a small area to be sure. Good luck with your sculpture!
Can regular paint replace the Acrylic paint?
I’m assuming, you mean wall paint like Benjamin Moore etc. I don’t know though, I’ve only ever used acrylic for my art, but I think it might work. Certainly worth a try!
Video starts at 2:49
Have you tried w/o the glue and paint?
Yes, like I mentioned, without glue and paint the plaster will set rock hard within about 15-20 minutes.
THANKYOU FOR RECIPE HOWEVER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ( HELPFUL) WITH MEASUREMENTS! AS A SENIOR WITH CATARACT'S ITS HARD TO EYEBALL ANYTHING🙏
I have an updated tutorial with measurements on my channel. You should definitely check it out. 🤎
Thank you for sharing ❤
I ve tried it but in 30 min my mixture start to harden. And in one hour i couldn t used it anymore.
What your advice ? Not enought glue ? Thank you ❤
Sorry to hear that!! Did you add acrylic paint as well?
@@thezendoc yes i did. A lot. Maybe too much or too much plaster. Lol. I gonna try again today. If you ve got a thought on it i will take it. Thank you for helping and sharing ♥️🫶
Everything you do is gorgeous ♥️
@@odemakeupartist8387 hmm I’m actually a little stumped. In my experience, mixing acrylic paint and glue should effectively stop the plaster from hardening and the more you add, the more diluted the plaster is and the more changed the composition should be. You should be able to use the plaster mixture for weeks. I have so many questions lol but unfortunately, I can’t figure out what’s wrong unless I know exactly what you’re doing. Maybe we can chat more on IG with photos? Open to it if you are. Otherwise, try again with a smaller mix and let me know how it goes. Happy to learn from your experience as well! 🤎
And thank you for your kind words about my pieces, it means a lot! 🤎🤎
@@thezendoc oh you re so nice. Thank you ♥️. I don t want to disturb you but it could be great 🫶 but before i m gonna try with more glue and acrylic .. and less plaster. I will let you know. Thank you 🙏🥰
How long does it take to dry?
1-2 days depending on how thick the layers are.
@thezendoc thanks for the response. New to all this and glad I can check out your channel for guidance! New subscriber
What will happen if i add fevical glue
I think Elmer’s glue, which I use, is a US type of fevicol glue so I think it should work. Suggest trying a small mixture first.
Texture art broked after dry...wats the reason? Plz help me by answering my question
It could be a few reasons including applying too thickly or too thinly, or using a joint compound mixture that’s prone too cracks. I’m not sure what your process looks like so it’s hard to tell but hope that helps!
I tried it but my mixturr dries in mins not even an hour.
With acrylic paint and glue combined?
Hello. Thank you again for this video but can you give at least a ratio for the recipe? It’s really important that I know how much plaster to water and glue and paint here using to get the right formula.
Unfortunately, I can’t. I have never used a set ratio and what I shared is my honest process. In my experience, there is no right formula. Every mixture is dependent upon what I’m working on and what results I hope to get + a few other factors. This is my go-to for almost every project I am working on and I modify as needed (eg more water if I want it thinner, etc). One person’s perfect formula may not exactly be right for you and you’ll need to experiment a little to figure out what you prefer. Sorry if this isn’t helpful!
Thank you for your honesty and I really appreciate all your help and I will try to do the concussion and hopefully it works. Wish me luck.❤ you are the best
@@Wasansart good luck! Hope it works out perfectly!!
Mine is coming out very runny 😢
Sounds like you need more plaster/joint compound. I also have another video with measurements to give you a better estimate of how I mix.
Hi..does this crack??
Not at all!! I only experience cracks when using joint compound because it shrinks a lot, which is why I don’t add it to my mixture.
Ok.. I ll try this.. Hope it works for me as well😊
Thank you for answering 😊
I hope so! 🤎🤎
This would be a better video if you were not talking over the music. Music not required.
Learning and improving every day. Thank you for the feedback!
