Wow, everything on display is absolutely gorgeous!❤❤❤

[@jkasia78]

Wonderful video. Thank you. And to preserve the painting do you cover whole drum with varnish or just the painting? Can I use a spray varnish to cover the drum?

[@lrobrert]

sorry your music is drowning out your voice

[@shawnhampton2895]

Having the hardest time understanding what you're saying I have my phone turned all the way up but your music in the background is overtaking your voice maybe next time on another video I'll be able to hear you and know what you're saying the artwork looks very good though

We will try to edit and re-upload, thank you for letting us know! 🙏

Thank you for the advice. I love the drum with the woman, horse and *umbrella.* That's what I call personalized. Great fun.

We are painting a drum.
What is the ratio mix of water, acrylic, and varnish medium?
Brand of varnish medium and gloss medium?
Is varnish medium and gloss medium the same?

Was choosing between going to Mexico and Thailand for my self transformation and this was the first video I have watched since deciding...Maybe the drum being painted from Mexico is a sign I should go to Mexico.... :)

Can we use modge podge over the acrylic painting?

Guillermo. Lovely to see you in this. I treasure the flute I bought from you in Fort Jackson and meeting you again at Dartmoor. Since then I have made my own drum. David.

Any idea how to safely remove paint from a drum?

That is amazing artwork im wanting to paint my goatskin drum

[@joedavid9698]

Great video thank you brother

[@leahkiser4023]

Can you actually play these once they're painted with acrylics, or are they just decorative? If you want to actually play them, is oil paint better? Thanks!

[@QuetzalcoatlMusic]

You can play after painting! Eventually some paint may chip off, but it will take years. If you want to be careful, paint a double sided drum and only play the unpainted side 🙏

[@ModernMedusa]

Beautiful work!❤️

Can you grease/oil a drum like that if it's been painted? How would you do so?

[@QuetzalcoatlMusic]

You can use coconut oil, I would recommend being sure the painting has been properly sealed. Test a small patch on the corner before wiping all over your drum just in case 🙏

[@Morgan-yu6gn]

Is there a way to respectfully remove acrylic paint if there was a mistake that dried?

[@QuetzalcoatlMusic]

Unfortunately would need to be removed while still wet 🙏

[@pattikeegan9673]

Thank you! 🎉

[@mahmoodiqbal2161]

can we mix wood glue in paints for painting in leather drums

[@QuetzalcoatlMusic]

I have not tried this method. Sorry I cannot give a recommendation on if that will work 🙏
