Hello flower family! If you are someone looking to save on the amount of paint used to create the hydrangea "poof" you can replace that space with left over paint scraps or half of a styrofoam sphere. You can "glue" those things to the canvas with gel medium/ paint. This would help to be what creates the bulk/ volume of your piece. You would then use your piping tip 2D to cover that material and then complete the same steps provided in the tutorial. I hope this makes sense, but I wanted to provide another option for those that wanted to possibly create a larger hydrangea, cut down on cost, or weight of the piece. Enjoy!
Awesome ideas, presentation & results. New subscriber here from PHX AZ. So obviously I went searching for a cactus or succulent project. Maybe I'll see one on your channel someday😁
@@asherrogers2687hello and welcome! Thank you so much for the kind feedback, I truly appreciate it! Ironically, I just started piping succulents and cacti! I post a lot of my process on IG. You’ll find a recent succulent art piece there. I’ll be sure to consider adding a tutorial here too!🌵
You’re welcome! Thank you so much for the kind feedback, I greatly appreciated it! Sometimes what my mind thinks and what my mouth says doesn’t match up, so I’m glad it was both coherent and informative! ☺️
I used to look for ways to pipe paint, when I was making cakes. I just knew there had to be a way. This was way before this art became a thing. I’m so glad to see the possibilities. I don’t think that texture paint is inexpensive though, so I believe you could fill the center with a molded piece of aluminum foil or even a piece of styrene, then build up around it to save material. I do love this medium of art though. Thank you for sharing with us. ✌🏻🤍🤞
Hello! Such a great suggestion, thank you! I agree, there are several other options to creating this piece so it is more cost friendly! I have also used left over dried paint scraps as well to fill the center. I appreciate the support, thanks again!
Thank you so much, I appreciate the time you took to comment! I’m so glad that they were clear and easy to follow, that’s very important for me, especially for those that are first starting out on this journey. ❤
I am so happy I found your channel! Im new to Gaffery paints and as a former florist of course I want to create flowers.Your instruction is clear and descriptive. I subscribed, liked and rang the, all, bell. Thanks for sharring!!!🌻
Oh my word! How exceptionally kind, thank you so much!! To be honest I was a bit nervous putting out this tutorial, but this sweet comment has made my day! So excited for you to join the GAM family! It’s an incredible one!❤
Hello! This is a great question. Please know that this is just one thing that I do when I create my art, right now. I may change this technique as I continue to grow in my craft. There are many ways to prep a surface, you may find another that works best for you. Right now I use GAC 100 as a sealer. In doing so I’m hoping that this barrier prevents anything from seeping into the priming and painting layers which can cause the paint to yellow over time. Gesso can be used to protect surfaces making them less absorbent and smoother as well as enhance adhesion. I like the clear gesso so I can see the natural wooden panels, but after the gesso, you could always use an acrylic paint color of your choice to cover the wooden panels instead. I hope this helps!❤
You could definitely paint/pipe on a canvas, there are several other artists that do this style that use canvases. I started off using canvases and there were no issues. Depending on how much paint you apply and the size of the canvas it could possibly bow the canvas overtime, but I doubt it would be significant. I just prefer to use wooden panels for look and the durability. Hope this helps!
So glad to hear you’re enjoying them! I have some tutorial ideas coming soon, just making my way through editing some past content. Thank you for supporting me here on this journey!❤
I've been using gaffrey for a few years. I've had the constant problem with the paint "melting" while I'm trying to pipe flowers. It just flops and melts into itself. I'm not the only one who's experienced this. I've tried everything to fix the issue. Even sent video to gaffrey to get their suggestions. Nothing prevents this. I'm never in a hot room while piping. This has been so heartbreaking and frustrating. And the amount of shrinkage is a lot. I'm impressed with your creation here.
I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, that is extremely frustrating! If you don’t mind me asking, what type of gaffrey paint are you using when this happens? I know that when I add too much acrylic paint to the heavy texture clear, it can feel softer. So I try and only use about 10-20% of the acrylic paint to the clear when mixing my own colors.
@artfullyausdemoreco thanks so much for your reply! I'm using the heavy body. Most times I buy the color I need, but I have mixed colors with the titanium. But most times it's just right out of their bag. It's really heartbreaking to me
@@purplepanterachickyou’re welcome! That is really weird! To be honest, I have not tried their pigmented heavy texture paint besides the white and titanium buff. Most of what I use is clear and mixing in my own heavy bodied acrylic paint. The only other thought that I have is maybe the pastry bags are too thin and the warmth of your hands are softening the paint? I wish I had a more concrete solution for you! ❤
@artfullyausdemoreco you're so sweet for replying again. I had thought that my hand might be warming up the paint. But I use wilton piping bags and they're fairly thick. I'm stumped!😢
Hello! Me too! I’m glad you are wanting more videos, more are coming, I promise! Thanks for being patient as I schedule my full time job, art markets, and more! ❤
Hello! I appreciate the feedback.😊 Yes, I do love what I do! This is not typically an art form that is for a one time project and more so for someone that may want to invest in this type of art long term. Any form of art can be completed in a multitude of ways, this just happens to be one.

Hello sweet friend! Thank you so much Mayra! I appreciate the support and acknowledgment, I hope that it’s helpful!
This is stunning! I really want to try this.
Thank you so much! You most definitely should!❤
This is excellent, i am learning how to do this same technique using soft clay and whipped glue.
Thank you! Oh, wow! That sounds interesting! I want to know more! Are you sculpting by hand or putting the soft clay and whipped glue in a piping bag?
@@artfullyausdemoreco some by hand and some in a piping bag.
@@taredo3 love it, how fun!
Very Excellent Art and Work, Thanks.🌹🌹💕💕

It did come out pretty
Thank you, I appreciate it!❤
Thank you, thank you very much♥️♥️♥️
My pleasure!❤️
Lovely! Can you teach on how to do Spider Mums, Dahlias, Peonies....
@@LisaGraham-r1o of course! Trying to find time to record has been a challenge lately. I’m hoping to get back to it soon, I’ll add it to the list! ❤️
what is gac and gesso and why do we need it? what are the other options we can use to color the wooden surface?

What will happen if we do this on a canvas instead of wood??
You could definitely paint/pipe on a canvas, there are several other artists that do this style that use canvases. I started off using canvases and there were no issues. Depending on how much paint you apply and the size of the canvas it could possibly bow the canvas overtime, but I doubt it would be significant. I just prefer to use wooden panels for look and the durability. Hope this helps!
There are much less expensive ways to do the flowers and they turn out just as good if not better than using that white as a base.
Yes, I’m sure there are! This is just one way to create!
Pls make more videos ❤❤

It’s not being wasted as long as it’s being used.😊
