Traditional art mediums are designed to BUILD thick layers. That’s literally what they’re made for. ✨

Joint compound isn’t.

I get messages all the time from people saying they tried making thick florals with joint compound and their art cracked. So I wanted to show you a real visual comparison 👀

If you pause this video and look closely, you’ll see the cracks through the joint compound piece. Meanwhile impasto gel, standard modelling paste, and light modelling paste all held up beautifully.

That doesn’t mean joint compound can’t be used in textured art. It absolutely can. But understanding how to use each medium and the thickness limits makes a huge difference in how your art lasts over time.

A lot of people skip one very important step:
👉 Reading the thickness recommendations on the tub or product description.
Art mediums are usually formulated with layering guidance. Joint compound often isn’t designed for the same depth or flexibility as traditional art mediums.

I’ll do another video showing how differently these mediums behave once paint is mixed in because that opens up a WHOLE other conversation 🎨

If you love learning the “why” behind textured art instead of just copying recipes, follow along. I teach all of this inside my courses so you can create textured art that not only looks beautiful… but actually lasts 🤍

This will probably surprise you…
But I never wait for my first layer of petals to dry. I always squeeze my second layer in between two fresh wet petals. The separate perfectly, creating a the layer. Doing it this way is also fun because no to flowers will ever be the same.
let me know if you find this surprising in the comments. 😉😉😉

POV: you stopped using plain white modelling paste 👀🎨

Most people don’t realise you can tint modelling paste BEFORE applying it and it completely changes the finish.

But here’s the part no one talks about; some modelling pastes already contain titanium white, which means they’ll soften or completely change certain colours when you mix them in.
Especially with fluro shades, they can turn more pastel than expected.

That’s why the medium you choose matters just as much as the colour itself ✨

Mixing fluro paint directly into the right modelling paste gives you that smooth creamy texture, seamless colour, and bold finish without the patchiness.

If it has ever looked chalky, cracked or not quite the colour you imagined, it usually comes down to the medium, ratios, and mixing process. I teach all of that inside my courses 💛 head to my bio or comment FOUNDATION for my courses. Don’t forget to follow for more tips and tricks.
