A textured Starry Night would be so cool with this

We're not at all surprised that such a skilled artist would achieve great looking results with this technique! In terms of durability, we think the wooden panel has a better chance of resisting cracking and detachment over time compared to canvas, but we get that this was really more of a decorative craft than "for the ages". Isolated chunks of rigid impasto generally attach better than a continuous, thick film, so we think small applications like those petal shapes have a good chance at long-term retention. Roughing up the panel with sandpaper could possibly help, too We can't help thinking, though, that the same technique would look spectacular in Acrylic Modeling Paste!

If you try this again, I'd recommend trying a wet sponge (not a scrubby sided sponge, but just a solid sponge-sponge) after the joint compound has dried to smooth out the textures you don't like. It helps to keep the dust down and results in a smoother surface! I love your green rainbow piece!

It does look like a lot of fun! One thing I have done that is also fun is buy a big thrift store frame, paint it white and get one of those disposable cake decorating kits with the tips and bag and load it up with this stuff and decorate it like an old fashioned elaborate frame.

This is ALMOST a fresco piece. Fresco is when you apply paint to “fresh” aka still wet plaster as you are making the painting or by mixing in powdered pigments into plaster and painting with those. It creates a matte finish and lasts a long time because the paint is basically sealed within the plaster. I highly recommend checking fresco painting out if you enjoyed this!

Ohhh I’ve been using this stuff for years!!! I paint over it, with acrylics. Flexible caulking is more practical as it flexes, polyfilla or whatever you use will crack and break off eventually!

I make the petal texture art kind and have an Etsy shop, and joint compound isn't the right stuff for it. Needs to be texture paste or modelling paste as it holds the shape better plus is compatible with acrylic paint. Mix the acrylic paint with the modelling paste before using the palette knife to apply it to the canvas.

Both the painted pieces turned out really cool. I loved the green gradient.

I’ve done this with a few pieces and found that with the background, I like it best to go lots of different directions when spreading. This way it feels natural. When you have uniformity, such as stripes, it really draws your eye. So a more chaotic approach actually doesn’t distract as much. Then once your happy with the background, just make your design right over it. I also completely cover the edges in plaster if it’s not going to be framed. Then I paint the whole thing so you don’t notice any areas I might have missed with the plaster. Just some tips I found work for me!

I'm glad this 'trend' is popular! I met an artist 6 years ago on the west coast of England who had been using this sort of technique for about 30 years to create some fantastic artwork. I wish I could remember his name but it really created such an amazing effect to his work. I think a lot of artists might find a new fondness for painting with these techniques! I loved seeing what you did with it

😮 I don’t know why I’m still blown away by the talent people have. Its mind blowing to me. I’m not an artist or crafter but I very much enjoy watching and following a lot of the artists here on KZfaq. Chloe, nerdecrafter, Moriah, jazza, mira, etc. etc. I love it and it’s my happy place. So thank you Chloe 😊

I think you can color the spackling either with acrylic paint or powder pigments before you "paint" with it (especially for something like the hydrangea petals). Or try a base coat of the plain white, then put blobs of the colored mix as a gradient on the edge and smear it across to do the rainbow style. It looks like a lot of fun to experiment with.

I love how we've gone full circle in art history and returned to a sort of fresco. Lol.

I've always wondered how these were made! I love what you did with the green gradient rainbow!

I think there was a time when people thought that acrylic pouring looked easy. So a lot of rookie artists tried acrylic pouring on youtube, only to realise it actually takes a considerable amount of skill to pull off properly.

So beautiful, I love all of these! The canvas might bend and cause the dried compound to crack, hence the wood panel. I've tried this back in the early 2000s with some leftover spackle, and I absolutely loved how acrylics turned all pastelly, muted shades on the porous surface. Now, imagine a dash of gold leaf on these for contrast...

I’d love to see you try this again with the experiences you’ve gathered now!

I for one am not a fan of the short form content, and haven't noticed anyone else doing this type of art, but I'm currently in the middle of making something similar for myself! I love shopping the clearance/broken product sections of craft stores and I came across an art medium that is basically this same stuff, and I'm really enjoying what I can do with it.

Hiiiiiiiii! So glad I could be one of the first people to see the upload! Made me very happy

Always appreciate how real you are! Helps your viewers not expect perfection on first try’s! Flowers were my favorite!

This is so fun - I’m definitely trying the rainbow thing! Can’t wait for the new paintbrush set to come out 💗

Chloe I will love if you and moriah elizabeth can callable again and you do hydro dip your the best KZfaqr I love you Chole!!!!!!!!!💖

Cake decorating supplies have scrapers with textures you could try. A long metal ruler might be enough to make a more even single top so the areas you don't use texture on are flatter.. Also, You might like making "paste paper" which is kinda similar and used often for end papers in book ends. To me, it is really cool seeing this video, because as Birthday and Christmas gifts my brother's family got me acrylic painting supplies to try, since I have mostly done, graphite, charcoal, and colored pencil art. I have been thinking of trying paper machete, or paper clay, or joint compound to make the art textured/3D. Thanks for the video!

I like the green on the rainbow shapes. I love the petals. God bless. 😁😁👋👋💖💖

Chloe is so funny, even having this on in the background when I paint she still makes me laugh 😂

As someone who is an apprentice in drywall Im cringing so hard at how you applied the compound. Im screaming nooooooo not like that! 😍 Absolutely love your vibe

Love it. Just a couple of thoughts (I’ve not tried it), but the large trowel with the castling/squares on, why not use the straight edge for smoothing the plaster. Also, so long as you go wider than the area you want flat and smooth, you only need to get this area perfect before making your lined areas. To clean your tools, wipe of as much as possible onto news paper or kitchen towel, the you can then wash your tools in a bucket and tip it on the garden. Tiny amounts may be okay down your pipes, but it would be a pain if the get blocked so it’s best not to.

oh that did look messy, but like so much fun! I love super thick and textured artworks and adore how the green rainbows turned out!

I've had huge recycled canvas sitting in my craft room that was marked up with markers. I tried gesso but the markers bled through. Using this technique will work wonders! Awesome idea, and looks really fun to do.

sooooo satisfying to watch. I loved that whole process - beautiful!!!

Hi!! Loved the video! For the tools what I usually do is wait for it to dry a bit and then just scrape them with another spatula. Then I sweep the floor (gonna do it anyway after any project) and throw everything in the trash. It can and will clog your pipes. Hope this solves your doubts ;D

The brushes are beautiful. Its a fun project I might have to have a crafting day with my sister and make one. Thank you for the video.

I'd love to see an updated 5 minute crafts/tik Tok trend video! I know you've done a number of them but I can't get enough. Especially 5 minute crafts I think there's more than enough content there through the years to "test" their stuff

The hydrangea turned out so good. It is for sure my favorite.

I liked the lines of the 6th one before they were smoothed away.

As you were painting the hydrangeas one my toddler said aww pretty flowers

Me encanta que aunque no te sientes segura de como va a quedar, aún así lo intentas y queda fenomenal.

So fun to watch you with a new medium. They are each awesome! Here's to your bravery!😁

Wow the green rainbow one is stunning, I would want that in a redesigned space for sure, it's very much my aesthetic

I know I'm late to the party 😂 but for anyone with the same issue of their crafts sliding around like at: 5:24 an easy fix is textured self linner! Usually cheap and super effective to keep things in place, also reusable.

i like that you were so honest to say you would not put it on your wall

i loved this video so much! i love you all your videos!

This is really cool!! And the green gradient, rainbow thing is my favorite!!!

Okay but is nobody gonna talk about her nails 💅 like GIRL I WANT THOSE 😫

My new year's resolution: Watch, like, and comment on every video of yours this year. I absolutely loved the green one, it looked really grungy which is defo my vibe, this looks so fun to try and I might have to give it a go.

1) Sanding with a random orbital sander, works like wonder if you try and get the top surface absolutely smooth and flat BUT do it outside and wear a mask. 2) Experiment with tainting it with paint and pigments. 3) You can actually sculpt it once it dries.

That green rainbow turned out really cool!

You can also add color to the joint compound. Pre mix up your ombré colors, etc. For the hydrangea, which I think is beautiful, you could sketch/paint flowers, stems, more detailed work. Then go in with the 3d work.

Love how fresh this video is! You can tell you really had fun and experimented and grew

I absolutely love your gradient green rainbows!

Looks so effective! Love how it looks with the gradient colors and the hydrangeas are so pretty! 😍👏🏻👏🏻

This was so satisfying to watch! And I think everything came out great!

Both paintings were great, LOVED the hydrangeas

To get an even surface just use the flat side of the scraper instead of a spatula, it’ll be much more consistent. A wet sponge should clean up the scrapers no problem

Definitely would love to see you take this kind of art farther! I feel like you could get really good at it!

Another possible path I think for the "petals" one are floating petals in a body of water. You know how in SEA/South Asian films there's usually a scene of a river surrounded by vividly colored flowering trees and their petals flow and float on the water surface. Then the surface of the water is painted different shades of blues to emphasize depth with maybe even a fish or two and some rocks showing from the depths.

Early squad here!

Hi Chloe I love your art so much thank you for sharing it with us! ❤

ahhh I’ve always wanted to try this! seeing you do this is giving me the push to go out and get some of that compound! 😂 hoping they turn out as good as yours!!

Those turned out awesome

You can actally color the compound befor you use it. I used coffee (three different shades) and I made strukture with packeging from cokies or kind of. Some do have a very interesting underside, ad least that one I bought (Germany). I am going to do a clock with this style.

I really enjoyed watching this, so much so, that I’m thinking of giving it a go…….slowly because I don’t like mess! 😁

These all turned out quite nice. The hydrangea one I would say doesn’t look much like a flower but more so like a pile of petals which I like

That looks SO fun to play with

Love your vid can’t wait to see more ❤🖌🎨

Chloe I love your nails and headband. This is going to be very satisfying to watch.

I really love these. I think you did a great job and as someone whonis working on a 3d hydrangea piece herself at this exact moment, yours is making me feel so much less pressured about it!

Really like the Hydrangeas! Fun video.

Love how these turned out!!

For cleaning: most joint compounds break down easily into water (its called 'mud' by a lot of builders for this reason and a couple others,) but I wouldn't clean anything down an internal sink. I'd recommend doing the washing outside, it's where I wash mine out. Your tools will survive the cleaning process regardless, but most buckets get tossed once done.

I work with that joint compound you bought. It's meant for maintenance work in structural building projects, like putting up sheetrock and stuff. We call it sheetrock mud

It's the angle of the trowel, those notched thingies, and not stopping until you're done with the swipe. To do the hydrangeas again, try painting the background before you plaster, no gaps! LOVED them all, but the green the most

Okay this turned out so good for a first time!

This looks so fun!

Love the hydrangeas!

Do the paint brushes work for watercolor? :D also Early 😊

I’m so glad you tested this. I’ve been super tempted by making my own but wasn’t sure it was worth it. Now I see it’s worth it but also super messy. The mess is enough for me to hold off as my apartment and cat won’t allow it.

I love it!

You HAVE to try Justin Gaffrey's thick acrylic impasto paint. If you like the thick texture you're gonna love actual paint that's made THICC

Definitely got some ideas from this! Totally gonna try it myself 😁

I really like the green rainbow one. I want to try this because I’ve seen it all over my tiktok page. I want to try using the piping bags to create the raised art as well.

Beautiful rainbows and hydrangeas!! 🌈

Omg using the flower technique you could make a little hedgehog face and it would look so cute with your style!

Happy New year Chloe your the best and loved the video😊😊😊😊😊💓💓💓💓💓💓

You can sand down any parts you want smoother with a high grit sandpaper. And I think for the hydrangeas you can mix in some paint with the spackle before putting it down on the canvas

This is so cool! I might try it myself.

This was so much fun! Nice results, I would love to try it but I can't handle missing stuff. ❤

Best to clean the tools outside with a hose. Or at the very least clean in a bucket of soapy water and let everything dry out. For the bucket either let the water evaporate over time, or if you are impatient, screen through a cheese cloth as you pour the excess water outside in the yard then with the remnants let dry and throw out. You want to throw out the dried compound. It can block up your drains.

loved watching this video🙋‍♀

I feel like a sunflower would look really cool in that

I saw a video of a woman years ago who used this sort of thing to make a huge wall mural sculpture and it was mind blowing!

I have bought some joint compound to actually do this with it, I haven't tried it yet, but seeing u do it has made me even more excited to try it out and give it a go.

As someone who has eaten a LOT of chocolate cake with French Vanilla icing, seeing the joint compound spread out like that gave me a craving for chocolate cake.

The brushes look amazing!

I love the rainbow one and how it turned out very nice. I do these kinda textured paintings a lot but i use modeling paste but that stuff is really expensive so maybe i should try this stuff! Great job!

Another idea that I think would be cool for you to try is the diy tile shelf or table. You could maybe even try just putting tile on a canvas or a board. I’m not sure if that would work but if it did maybe you could combine some of these hacks together.

Its essentially cheap modelling paste which I’ve been using for a while for painting. Its a little wet for my liking but it definitely has practical art uses as demonstrated

Wow that turned out cool, I might give a go ,it also look's like fun and painting too ❤❤

Oh, a 3d tangled wall would be epic with this stuff

a textured starry night would be awesome with this
