Jazza: “I’m gonna use sand” Me: ~envisions fine, dry sand~ Jazza: ~throws the wettest, clumpiest sand he can find~

I have no idea what they actually use to do this, but I would try wallpaper paste, it goes on thick and stays tacky for a good amount of time and you can use a brush to apply it.

The ammount of times I have yelled "IT IS WET" at my screen when Jazza tries to throw wet sand and it doesn't stick

I can't help but think "CORNSTARCH!" You can color it AND it's nontoxic! Hope it goes better next try and thanks for showing us the stuff that doesn't work out.

You should have used gilding adhesive. It is transparent and becomes more tacky after 30 minutes. I’m sure it would work beautifully with a light powder.

I think the problem with the sand was that it was wet. Dry sand is much lighter and I think it wouldve stuck better

Note that none of the artists actually "threw" the powder "at" the painting. They threw the fine powder mix (two different types of powders to help it remain separated) up and it fell over the painting. The affected surface needs to remain wet. I don't think it's true glue at all. I think it's either Mod Podge and pouring medium or silicone. Silicone dries very slowly and is extremely tacky.

Combining some of the other comments I’ve seen: Cornstarch- You can dye, then dry it. it and it’s non-toxic Baking soda- dyed and dried Suggested adhesives: Gel medium mixed with an extender. Or any adhesive with a very long working time. Perhaps wallpaper paste. There were also a few that noted the particle launching technique. None of them seem to be thrown directly at the canvas, but rather thrown up and the settled over the canvas. I’ve seen some people load up a big sheet with the powder (like in the rice throwing videos were people use a ton of different clips next to each other to make an image) it’s the same kind of throwing/launching motion

The use of coloured (and really dried) baking sofa is what most use with this technique. Combined with an adhesive with an extremely long open time, surprise, but it’s NOT adhesive, but gel medium mixed with extender which allows the time and adhesion needed. Looking forward to seeing this been more successful! Gentle Hugs

I love that Jazza isn't the type of creator who doesn't upload something just because it doesn't go amazing or perfect. I love the honest approach where he shows exactly what happened, what a hero!

We need a part 2 with all suggestions from the comments ! you can do much better and greater results with the right products :)

Hey Jazza! I used to do something similar to this all the time with Mod Podge glue. I used glitter, which could be fun and eye-catching in a video, but I bet your other mediums would work with it too! Also, it’s meant to be used with a paint brush, which is a plus since there’s no need to thin it out.

Don’t throw the chalk or powder at it. You want the dust plume the air to stick. If you rewatch the videos.. it looks like they throw the powder up ⬆️ into the air in front of the paper and the glue catches the falling cloud. Like 🦄 magic. Good try! I believe you can do it! Give it another go sometime. 😊👍

Something that stays wet/sticky for a long time is key here. Also need *veryyyyy* fine particles to throw. I think that's why chalk seemed to work best because it's so fine. Edited to add: it's probably a good idea to seal the paper/canvas first with matte/glossy mod podge so it's not absorbing the glue as you "paint" with it.

One thing I like about this channel is that you aren't afraid to show when things don't go quite the way you wanted. A lot of creators will only show off their successes, but you show us your struggles and challenges and I find that inspiring.

Am I the only one who actually really loved the Rorschach-esque look of the first version of the old man? 😢

I love that you still posted this video, even though it was a failure. That takes guts. I don't think most artists would have posted this. They don't want to be seen as untalented. But honestly I think it was super refreshing. It's awesome to see you do things terribly. Because I do all kinds of things terribly. It makes you more human. Thank you Jazza 💖

Haven't tried this, but my first thought is: as some people have already commented, using a less absorbant canvas, which does not absorb too much of the glue. As for an adhesive, my mind went to glue for metal leafing. It doesn't dry very fast and is tacky for a while, just a thought from a fellow dabbler.

The chalk „splatters“ you didn’t quite like on the black background actually looked like a ton of STARS! :) You should have tried a planet (universe scene) and little stars with chalk on the black background!!

Hi jazza! I work in the paint department of the film industry. First off, love you last few vids. I am determined to use some of these techniques in the near future. If you ever want to revisit this concept, you might find some success with wallpaper paste. It has a slower drying time then most of your adhesive mediums. Its not super sticky, so I'm guessing it would work better with the lighter powders, but it might work with sand if you put it on thick enough

The adhesives are fine! You're throwing rocks at the paper, sir. You need finer (and dryer) sand/powder. Flour, baking soda, talcum... (and yes, less absorbent canvas)

Spray tack is not the same as standard spray adhesive. Spray adhesive dries fairly quickly, tack stays... well, tacky. And as many others said, that sand was wayyyy too wet.

I love that Jazza does what most people start off doing. No research other than watching people's final result and guessing how they do it. 😂

I love how involved Jazza's community is. There are so many comments proposing different methods and sharing experiences. Wonderful ❤️

You used sand that yes was too heavy from the moisture it had. Not sure how much better dry sand would work since salt is similiar in texture. But this was interesting to watch. I've never seen techniques like this.

Hey jazza there's this KZfaq channel called pal tiya that has this awesome sculpting clay that hardens like concrete I think you should give it a try on your Channel

I love this video because it shows not everybody (even famous artist) knows everything and sometimes you need a help from others...thanks Jazza for reminding this to me

I am loving these style videos of you trying new stuff. I started watching during the 10 min vs 1 min vs 10 sec drawing trends and to see something with much more emotion attached is awesome. Cool pieces too

I’m always impressed when you bring something new to the art realm. But I’m equally impressed when you do something and you show the fails. This is what all artists struggle with. We want it to go right the first time. Thankfully you will come back and show us again, and probably succeed!

To me the ‘chalk’ looks more like powder-maybe talcum powder? Or you can also get coloured powder like the ones they throw at Holi festival?

I actually really liked the final poster attempt. I think you should attempt a complete picture smearing chalk after administering it thrown into glue. Follow up with a flat edge to mold into an image.

love seeing you TRY, that's what i've enjoyed about your exploration into other mediums the most. keep it up!

Jazza’s VO while we watch him work with a gas mask: “Acetone has vapors that are toxic.” Nail artists: 👁👄👁

Jazza!! kuretake's Zig 2 Way glue, while its biggest size is not a big enough glue pen for the massive end project, is a glue that goes down blue but dries clear and *sticky*. it's a double sided tape you can paint. i use it a lot for glitter applications. you should definitely give this another go with that!! Aileen's Tack It Over And Over (NOT aileen's tacky glue, that one's just really thick PVA) dries similarly and comes in larger bottles too. I don't like it as much as the Zig 2 Way glues for my art, but I'd imagine i'd work well for this medium.

I am loving all the recent content! Really trying out so many new and creative things between this, different ways to use crayons, painting with super soakers, painting with bleach and everything in between. Keep it up!

I love that you posted this despite not feeling it was the best thing you could have done. It shows that art doesnt just come overnight with ease. It's messy experimentation. its a journey. a discovery.

The creativity in these arts always keeps surprising me lmao Rest In Peace Technoblade

I'd recommend tacky glue, like mont Marte's clear tacky glue. Stays "liquid" longer and has the bonus of being more tacky than regular crafty glues. Or Gloo tacky glue which has a slow drying time

love the honesty in this video

Your videos make me really happy on days when im sick or just feeling down.

i remember doing art like this with Elmer's glue and glitter. that works just perfectly :)

I love how we don't only see you succeed but also getting a look at you trying and failing, inovating and coming up with other ways to get ot your goal. Absolutely love this video, I'm sure you'll find something that works!

high gloss varnish + baby powder/pigment powder on glass works like a charm. Draw with the varnish , gently brush the powder from top to bottom.

Really enjoying the you doing you having fun videos. Making content because it’s whatever you want to do is the way to go. Loving it.

As your daughter would say, "It could use a tornado." Besides that, one technique I've never seen anyone use, but might work to some degree would be to use your laser cutter to draw the pointilist version of your art. Then, you can more quickly extrude (or paint on the back side) with your adhesive, leaving many little sticky dots on the happy side of the soon-to-be art. One more idea: Wet paint is sticky. What if you painted black on black and then threw the dust? Maybe?

When I saw this I thought about my experience with embossing powders and gilding flakes in card crafting. Embossing powders require an embossing medium that stays tacky long enough so you can pour embossing powders on it to stick to the paper before you heat to melt/set the embossing powders. There is a wide array of embossing mediums on the market but the dry time is fairly quick. For gilding flakes, there is a product by Creative Expressions - Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Glue that stays tacky for a longer time. There is slight color tint as you work with it but dries clear. I've only used it with gliding flake but I know it's advertised to adhere glitter and other finer particles. You should give these products a go on this idea or with other art projects. Good luck! Love your work.

You tried and that's what counts. I appreciate the fact that you still put up the vid; it shows that even the most talented artists encounter trouble.

I love your style and enthusiasm……it’s people like you that make art fun xx

This is a really cool and unique way to make art

I love how jazza shows his failures as well as his successes. It makes him more relateable and its nice to know that even he has trouble with art and is not perfect

Did similar to this back in the 80s in primary school, but as the school was cheap, we only have PVA glue and we did things in stages. Speaking of, something I haven't done since primary school either, is wax crayon etching... used to love doing that!!

Something to try next, double sided contact cut into masking layers? For large areas and then glue for quick fine details. I've seen glitter used a lot and maybe that also has something to do with it's lightness but also it's reluctance to form clumps. Sifted flour might also work but be wary as to much flour in the air can turn flammable/might stuff up electronics

Jazza, I can't wait to see you attack this again. As rarely as it happens, and as much as it always sucks to fail or see someone fail; it's in a way refreshing and burden lifting to see that you in fact are human, and that EVERYONE makes mistakes. You're more inspirational than you realize, I believe.

My sister has used baby powder or talc and corn starch and karo or honey as an adhesive. Can't wait to see the next attempt. Good luck.

We once had to do something similar in Art class... We had to do a portrait in black and white on a wooden plate, we used normal wood glue and colored crafting sand for that and it worked extremely well, we had enough time to paint to areas and put the sand on it but it also was fast enough to not take ages to dry. And the sand it still holding on, even after 6-7 years now

My mind goes to simple syrup being the "glue" because you could cook it to just about any consistency, and it has a basically undefined open time.

i used varnish and sparkles and it worked amazingly, the varnish takes like 15 min to dry so you have a lot of time to work and is super tacky

I used to do this craft in primary school, where i dusted coloured sad on wet paint, and it actually used to work! I don't remember what paint it was but u could try it out with different paints!

It's almost cool - sums up my Life pretty accurately 😮. Loved to see your experience.

great vid, i think you did a better job than i could ahaha. Loving your recently videos of trying new techniques, would love to see more!

Would be neat to see this attempted with other edible materials. Ground coffee, cinnamon, flour, various spices, etc.

Missed these kinds of videos! So glad to have the old Jazza back

I use to do this when I was a kid. My favorite was white craft glue and colored chalk. I would layer my artwork and let the layers dry before doing the next.

"it's my least favorite going down because it's white" - jazza 2022

The gorilla contact adhesive uses Isopropyl alcohol as the solvent, so you could try using that to dilute it more efficiently than denatured ethanol aka acetone.

@jazza I have an idea for you to try, that I think youd love. Ferrofluid (a type of liquid that when you use a magnet, it creates the "spikes" and cool effects. But it also works as the smoothest pen/sharpie or whatever if you use it on paper. Id imagine you could do some cool stuff with it!) Also has a really cool thing where if you put the ferrofluid on a magnet, it gets so slippery that it barely has any friction.

I am less than 30 seconds into the video and I am ALREADY leaving a like for that opening gag. "I know what I wrote" 😂

Jazza back at it again with the best quality art videos on KZfaq (in my opinion) Jazza continue to be the best!

your videos make people feel relaxed and entertained keep going your videos are beautiful 🍓♥️🥰❤️

FUN! Great examples for us novices.

Some of the examples people made actually seem to use a cloth instead of paper, something with fine fur that will help repel or hide extra dust but will hold the sticking substance better for capturing the right dust

a bit different, but actually, salt on watercolor is an actual cool technique but yeah, as someone else said, canvas absorbing glue is bad, and finer powders work better

Omg hi king. Please can you do more “drawing your kids art” videos? They were really fun. And I think you should do more videos of you drawing and singing.

Subscribing again 💕 you found your path, this format suits you 😊 feels like your older videos again but bigger and i love it

I remember doing something similar as a kid whenever my family went to the state fair but instead of glue, it was a peel sticker picture sheet where you peel a part of the picture, choose a color sand you want to use and pour on top it. I had a blast doing those as a kid.

Firstttt

I'm glad jazza shows both the ones that work and don't. It helps reinforce that jazza is a human too and no one is perfect.

Colored cornstarch like used in those "color run" races, and use gold leaf adhesive that stays tacky for up to a half hour+ and has good detail control

Hey Jazza, you can use polyester or epoxy resin without catalyst and part B respectively as glue, both will remain sticky for very very long time and even can get thinned as needed. Hope it helps.

Powdered pigments can work well with some wetter glues as it lets it dissolve into the glue medium as the particles sit, thus making it sharper over time

There's traditional sand painting. I saw artists working (and had a sand painting made for me) on Gore Island in Senegal. I'd recommend you check then out. The artist used a glue that they painted on and then sprinkled layers of sand on top of it. The material the painting was done on was plywood.

A large pallet knifes could help give an even layer of adhesive or make it more 3D, as well as giving control. Can also be used to scrape away for cleaner lines.

I actually love the lesson learned at the end of this video!

I am sure this has been said somewhere in the 1.3k comments but a couple of quick things for ya. "3M™ Hi-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive" is flippen amazing stuff if you can get it. For sand, Dry it out and or use smaller particles it will stick and view much better, same as the sugar. Powdered Sugar works nicely. Great content keep it up! EDIT Corrected 3M Name

Try this out on prepainted hardboard, or a well primed mdf panel. You want to be applying your adhesive to something that isn't going to absorb it. You might also want to try a glue that tends to stay tacky. Perhaps elmers fabric glue may work (this is a glue I am familiar with, I'm sure other glues out there have a tack dry as well). Also as others have mentioned, stick with super fine particles, such as chalk. Cornstarch and flour may work well also. Mica powders might be fun to play with here.

Okey i wanna try this for my home renovation.Thanks

After you have created your glorious artwork, I think a light coat of hair spray goes a long way to preserve the piece so the chalk doesn't slowly degrade over time, or at least it will make it more slow but I think it reduces the pigment or something. I am only speaking with the experience of doing something similar in year 6.

Hi Jazda, how are you? Recently I have become pretty much addicted to your videos, haha. they are so positive and inspiring, really. I love your adventurous and exploratory approach to new ways of making art and new mediums. however, what happened to be my most favourite videos are those where your overpaint the thrift store paintings. those are amazing. IT would be awesome if you could make more of those. thanks and keep doing the great work.

very thin, fine grain sand, the kind that is usually white or colorful, and feels like silk. you can buy it from most gardening and yardwork stores

Love your videos!!!

I love the neon alien landscape I'm seeing as if through a fog of dreams... Or maybe my mind just loves making fantastical landscapes from the void lol

I remember trying something similar but I used PVA and salt and sprinkled it on and that worked quite well. But maybe try flour or cornstarch?

Perhaps don't look into adhesives necessarily, but some kind of gel mixture that hardens when it dries? Like maybe aloe gel mixed with modge podge, 3:1. Also I feel like chalk sticks to itself too much for this. You need something light, but grainy. One thing I thought of while watching the video was paint pigment for cars.

I feel like making a big old Konshu drawing with this method would look amazing!

For a smaller project you could try to use epoxy resin instead of glue as it stays wet and tacky much longer. And also I think you need finer and lighter powders especially if you wanna do the throw method. Chalk in a blender/coffee grinder would probably do the trick. Or you can just buy powdered sugar instead of granulated one. Anyway I enjoyed watching your experiments with it, a really cool video! And it's nice and comforting to see that even big artists don't get fantastic result on their first attempts at a new medium sometimes. Reminds you that learning is a process and mistakes and fails in the beginning helps you learn better and faster. Thanks for being so true and open, Jazza.

this video read my mind, i was wondering what it would be like to make art with glue thanks for making my strange ideas happen jazza!

Jazza you are so funny!!😂😂😂😂 (the ending😂) And of course an inspiration! I had so much fun and learned a lot watching this……You The Man😎

It’s the weight of the chalk. I did this with salt and regular Elmer’s glue and it dried pretty nice, I used water color to paint it in ❤️ love you jazza big fam

Pba glue or Elmer's glue is pretty fun with invisible chalk art, I remember in a boy's home I was in that I did a poinsettia. Only gripe of what we did was taking the 24hrs for the glue to set then using chalk to fill the negatives out. Frankly it's kinda lackluster and limits quite a bit what could be done but was a pretty fun lesson.
