Fun video!!! Loved it! With foam clay you just need a few drops of paint… to much paint reactivates it and makes it sticky; and that’s why the flowers don’t look fluffy… I think they pour paint on it in the reference video just for the wow effect
I just wanted to mention that there are many types of air dry clay and it seems Chloe is using foam clay. I would highly recommend trying cold porcelain clay instead which you can pre color with oil paints or pigments. White foam clay is very sticky and hard to work with.
@@skylightergacha6791 hi, I don’t really know why I need to clarify this, but I was offering an alternative for other people if they wanted to try this project not an attempt to criticize what’s shown in the video. White foam clay is not easy to work with or make smooth shapes with so I wanted to let people know that there are better options.
I got what she used in the video 😫 I’ve only used different types of air dry clay before for figurines. Someone else mentioned that maybe mine was too warm?? Who knows, it sucked 😂
@@ChloeRoseArt I promise it’s just that white foam clay is extra sticky. Cosplayers use black foam clay and it’s not like that but obviously you have to paint it afterwards. My intention was to just give others another option that might be easier to use.
With the hand print one, I think it could be interesting to paint your hand multiple colors sort of randomly and get inspiration from the colors as well as the shape. Your hand could become a circus, carnival, or rainforest, etc.
You mentioned your Himi gouache dried out - I've seen other creators restore it by adding water, letting it soak in, then mixing it! So it's not dead, just needs some work to come back. 😊
I also just discovered that Himi has a spray for their gouache paints that keeps them wet (and supposedly mold free because it doesn't use water which can have the potential to breed bacteria) even if you don't use the paints often. Seems to have pretty decent reviews on Amazon.
Umm the one where you scratch the paint, if you use clear packing tape and seal the background and then paint with black on top it, then it works wayyy better
Yes! Also, I’ve done it with my kids and as they scratch it flecks of black paint get all over the place. So, it was fun, but more messy than you would think.
Yes, it works best if you use crayons (even the oil pastels would probably work), then normal school paint, not acrylic. You can add dish soap but I have had success when I have missed that step.
Yes I tried it before but the down side of using tape is you need to be careful while scratching the paint of else the tape will peel off too! Still a fun experience 😊
0:45 Here's a hack for you ... go to your local carpet store and ask them if you can have any empty/used carpet rolls. It is a cylinder that can be up to 12 ft long/tall. (That's how your living room carpet would be delivered when it's shipped to your local store). Now THAT would make a super huge marker ... if you have the floor / wall space, of course.
I think the AIr Dry clay issues was moreso learning curve than anything. I've worked with a lot of them and each one has their own different reactions to everything.
Painting the black over the random colors reminded me of such fun as a kid. Limited supplies "back then" = covering a paper with multiple crayon colors then covered this completely with black crayon.⚫️ Yes, arm tired! And even tho I made this, I always thought it magic as I drew whatever with sharp utensil & seeing the colors come through...I remember using a nut pick. Hmm! Thank you, Chloe, for continuing to bring special projects to us no matter what the comments may say. Blessing for your new business adventure!😊
ive done this craft before as well! for people looking for tips i would say use crayons for the bottom layer for a waxy coating, and if you're using paint you dont want the paint to be thick like chloe theorized! i imagine thick or higher quality paint may make it peel and stretch instead of scratch off. i used just crayons and cheap black craft paint worked for me :) i would also agree with the people saying that packing tape would make a good barrier between the black paint and the colors
I have a tip! To keep your gouache pots from drying out, cover them between uses with Glad Press and Seal wrap. I've had my set for 2 years, and they are still as fresh as the day I bought them.
@@caitlinwhatthefrick2361 I have gouache and thought I’d do the same thing when I go to reuse it, it’s acrylic paint that you need to worry about it drying.
Hi Chloe putting in the sponsor while you do the art work is very clever it makes it more interesting plus I'll support in any way I can as you are the reason I picked back up my art work again so thank you Chole xxxx
Chloe the people that are hung up on if something is a hack or what have you really need to go touch grass. Don't worry that much about it. Love your vids!
Try Murphy's Oil Soap on your paint spots on your shirt. It works great removing dried paint from brushes - I have had good luck with using it on clothes over the years too. Love the pumpkin! And the handprint was neat - I think I would turn it upside down and draw from there...more options to build on to me.
7:15 We did that when I was in elementary school, but instead of black paint we just used black oil pastels and it worked well enough even us (a buncha kids no older than 10/11) managed to have a decent go at it! Still one of my favorite art hacks/tricks to this day 💕
Chloe, good way to remember: The word Stalactites has a “C” and so does Ceiling which they grow down from in a cave. The word Stalagmites has a “G” and so does Ground which is where they grow up from.
I used to make scratch art with my daycare kiddos - gave us all an excuse to use the crayons that gathered dust! I always advised to use a heavy hand with the crayons because a thicker waxy layer made sure our black paint wouldn’t stick to the paper. I also loved how accessible the craft is because we tend to all have a ton of crayons hanging about and hopefully everyone has a little dish soap too!
Hullo Chloe Rose, I have enjoyed watching your videos for quite some time! I saw a few comments on the “quality” of your air dry clay. I believe that if you don’t want to paint the clay, just use colors and Sculpy clay. Form your flower pieces and bake. It is a much better quality “hack” on the subject of a hack anything that is a short-cut to an established method of working could be called “hack”. To the knob that said crafts are not art, obviously they have never created a parade float for the Rose Bowl Parade. This is a unique art form and crafting skills are needed up and down the float! To be a crafter is to be an artist. Thank you for sharing another lovely video of creating art with us Chloe. Please take care, be safe and keep creating Art for sharing with all of us.
People get so crafty with mirrors!! I personally wasn't a fan of the expanding foam trend, but I did have fun painting clouds on some mirrors as a gift. :)
Put clear packing tape on your background image, then put the black paint mix on top. When you scratch off, the result is better. Glad you are doing these again. So fun
I love your down-to-earth approach and sense of humour when things don't necessarily to go plan. The palm printing looks like fun. Also, I'd like to try the coloured clay that Jackie used (in the video you've linked in the description) maybe that'd work for this flowered mirror too? Plus.....no messy mixing! Bonus! 😉😄
Loved the pumpkin, your ‘hand’ was clever and thought the air dried clay interesting, now can’t wait to see what you come up with next. Personally think you should make a hanging bear to go with the flowers on the mirror 😊. Always love watching you
I liked the giant marker storage container. I like the crafty stuff more than hacks. Using the shipping container and the Mod Podge were both hacks/tricks. Using the wrong coloring paper was a trick too, but on you. 😊
I've played around with coloring the clay and the trick is to use very little paint in it. I used super cheap stuff (both the foam clay and craft paint) and it worked really well. I think you added too much paint which is why the clay became sticky and stringy.
These were all such good ideas. I love everything you made today. I had no idea about the paint possibly being mixed in with air dry clay. Definitely a hack for me too! You could make a 3D bear in a forest piece on a tray. It would take ages but it would look so good!
I enjoy the crafts, honestly. Arts and crafts! And there's so much that I, personally, don't know and I'm grateful to have a place to go to see hacks cos I don't use tiktok or Instagram or really any other social media so I appreciate people not assuming that all their followers know hacks that might be more common knowledge
My friend told me a similar hack to your soapy black paint. She had used it for scratch offs. So she would print whatever she wanted, put scotch tape (or a clear plastic tape) then added black or silver soapy paint over that and it would scratch off and show what was underneath without mixing.
So funny! That's my favorite liner, too! I find it so smooth to use, and the nib is great that it's so variable. I got mine in an art box at some point and it has grey on one end/black on the other. Editing this comment to also say: I totally agree! The hand idea is so fun. ❤ it. You're so great at those reverse coloring book drawings. Would love to see you do more of them.
Okay so I want to state I did enjoy last video and this video, even though I was one of the people that commented on the hack/project topic. This is a very fun video. I do have a Tip for you. I think the air dry clay you got is foam clay which is stickier and holds less detail. But there are also other types of air dry clay like paper clay which are less sticky and can hold more details you may enjoy working with more. ALSO, I got a project idea for you. You could paint your palm a stone color, press on paper then fill the inside cavity on the paper with crystals of any color you like to make a geode. For crystals you could use glass, beads, rhinestones, real crystals or even kosher salt (though you'd want to paint under the salt to add color I think)
Awesome hacks! I especially like the paint chip inspiration and the air dry clay painted ideas! Your jack o lantern and clay flowers were so cool! Much love from grains!
9:00 is, I’ve done this trick before you basically put down a good colour range like a bunch of colours and what you get is like a paper full of colours. You can do it with crayons paint whatever you want, and then might it is to add black paint on top like normal black paint, do not use body, yeah, any black paint will do so that it’s easier to scrape
I've never, ever used air dry clay that is...stringy! 😂😂 Tbh with you, Chloe, air dry clay is so inexpensive and comes in every colour imaginable as you can buy a cheap starter kit online for next to nothing. If you want more detailed and less "pre-teen," I would suggest using polymer clay. It also comes in a billion different colours and finishes (brights, pastels, metallics, glitters etc, etc). It's a similar thing, but it's baked in the oven to cure it and will stay that way after baking it. You can bake your pieces several times so you don't smush any details in a finished part while you work on the next. It's much nicer and less messy to work with, too!
You seriously inspire me in every video. You aren't afraid to show when things don't work out perfectly, and it's so humanizing. You look stunning again, and your hair looks so cute every way you wear it!! Love you, Jackie, Mira, and Rae so so much! I love even more that you are all friends❤ Ps. Stelagmites grow up and stelactites hold on tight from the top.
That handprint one and the clay one were so cool. Also legit the only difference between stalagmites and stalactites is whether they grow from the ceiling or the floor of the cave.
I have a hack tip weird idea thingy for people who either hate swatching or love it….. swatch your colours in random square and oblong shapes leaving spaces or not between them and ensure to leave a wide space between each row, then doodle a house/shop/pub… on each swatch and give each door a number. The numbers can be listed as a street directory below your village/city. This lets you have a cool picture to put up to reference your colours without the shame of displaying swatches (no shame if that’s your thing!).
I think it would've been easier to add paint to the clay in larger batches and then separating the already coloured clay into the little balls also ensuring that too much paint wasn't added as that would change the texture of the clay.
The dishsoap trick really works! I used to make scratcher cards by just putting tape over whatever was meant to be revealed, then painting over it with a mix of dish soap and (usually silver) acrylic paint.
Chloe all I can say re the first thing you said.... people are petty! Personally I really enjoyed your last art HACK video oh and every video I've watched of yours sooo thankyou!
lol your orange finners made me giggle 🙃 I watched Jackie’s video first(I’m catching up on videos) I absolutely love what you guys have made. You make it look even easier to make these things. So cool. Love how creative people can be 😊
Just did scratchboard with elementary school students. We did black crayon over colored crayon with one group, and rainbow commercial scratchboard with the other group, but lesson plan suggested using tempera paint. We sharpened paintbrushes using a handheld pencil sharpener to make scratch tools, and the other group used pennies. I'd recommend heavier paper or cardstock for this project, and ALWAYS plan your drawing BEFORE you start scratching.
I think the original artist who came up the concept of painting on paint chips the same color is Temi Danso Art. She's here on YT & over a year ago she started learning how to goache paint by painting on painting on a stack of them. :This goache painting took me 2 months to complete" *I dont know the artist featured in this featured video, but it definitely looks like they were inspired by her.
I remember doing those scratch papers in school. we used a good card stock, and crayons or oil pastels. Then mixed a little soap with the acrylic paint (think bulk school paint quality) to help it "stick" to the oily/waxy layer and painted a decent layer on. Loved scratching these off.
Stalactites are going down (like you drew), stalagmites are growing up. In French, it’s easy to remember … stalactites tombent (fall down) and stalagmites montent (go up).
We used to make the scraping papers in primary school, and we just used oil pastels and then a layer or 2 of regular black watercolor on top. Worked great!
For the air dry clay hack, Chloe! What I did was buy colored air dry clay it comes in small pouches and is quite easy to find if u search it up ,and if you don't feel like buying that you can colour tge same white clay a little tip is to add only a tiny drop of paint rather than that much and mix it into the clay that way it saves you time n your clay won't be messy at all and you can wear gloves to it won't stick that way ! (I've tried this hack before and just noticed you adding too much paint into the clay ) hope this helps! 😊
hacks, tricks, crafts...whatever. This is fun content and I am hear for it. I really thought the hand one is a great way to get out of your head and get lost in something for a minute. That can be really helpful for artblock. I also think its a fun little date night activity too! I am also so excited for your shop opening on the 19th! That bear desk mat is just so ding dang cute. I will try my best to get my paws on it but, I have a feeling I am not the only one who will be lined up for it.
I loved this video! I saw Jackie’s too. Y’all did some really cool things! I love the idea of the mirror. I think I would use clay that already has a color - it just seems easier. 💜💜
I think the air dry clay was maybe to warm, it looked really stringy and melty. If you watch the original video it was not like that. I love sculpting and I have never seen air dry clay so stringy. I think you would have had an easier time if the air dry clay was not like that.
@@bootercup001Chloe used the exact same bag the girls used..it was the foam kind. Not sure what the og commenter said before the edit but from the new edit she wasn’t saying she didn’t use the right one just that it was too warm. I think she just used to much paint because it got sticky
@@skylightergacha6791 Thank you this is exactly what I was trying to say. I do also agree that she added to much paint but also you can see her grabbing the clay before the paint and it looks like it was too sticky from the get go vs the OG video. The OG comment was the same I just added a period to make it more clear.
I believe Temi popularized the first “trick” here on TH-cam with the paint samples and also used gouache paint as a way to improve her skills with that medium. She has an art book coming out with her work from this project. Her art is so beautiful and detailed. If you haven’t seen it definitely recommend her channel.
On the scratch paper we have done it before with crayons on the background and straight black acrylic on top no need to dilute. I’ve also rehydrated himi gouache in the past just add loads of water and leave overnight with a couple of drops of clove oil to prevent mould
The scratch paint that you did Chloe I have done the exact same thing before. There is nothing wrong with what you used to make it with but the trick I found was to cover the first layer with ordinary plastic sticky/clear packing tape and then put the layer of paint and soap on top. Wait for it to dry then scratch. 😁
Fun channel. Thanks for all you share. Hack...use crayons; color the first layer with all different colors - patterns, shapes, no designs. Then layer a black crayon on top - when you carve out your design, it wll be multicolored.
just a quick tip - you can remove acrylic paint from clothes with nail polish remover - be careful to check the colour fastness of the fabric (maybe on a hem?) before you apply it, and don't use too much - it works!
The clay you used doesn’t look like the air dry clay I’ve used in the past,I’ve bought good air dry clay from The Works(I’m British so I don’t know if The Works is in America and such) but it’s not stringy or sticky like yours.
It’s foam and it looked like that because she got it too sticky with the paint. She used too much I’ve colored my foam air dry clay befit and u just need a litttle
I've done the scratch paint one but I did use craft paint from Target. I have a friend that loves to do lottery scratchers so when we took her to Vegas for her birthday one year, I made a fake scratcher so she could find out where we were going. It worked really well! I think craft paint and a higher ratio of dish soap to paint would work better. (It's been quite a few years since I did it so I don't recall exactly how I did the whole design.)
I used to do the scratch paint technique when I was little but it was a painting of random colours underneath and then black crayon or wax pastel on top and then scratch your design through the wax.

You mentioned your Himi gouache dried out - I've seen other creators restore it by adding water, letting it soak in, then mixing it! So it's not dead, just needs some work to come back. 😊
now that's a trick
You can also just use it dry like a watercolor pan. I use all my gouche dry because I don't paint enough to even try to keep them wet.

And as one of the old folks, we covered the crayon colors with black grease pencil.
Now we need a seasonal color palette of lil square paint color paintings to make a full art piece!
Chloe a tip is to buy used mirrors off fb marketplace or thrift stores to up cycle. Cost way less and keep things out of landfills
I have a tip! To keep your gouache pots from drying out, cover them between uses with Glad Press and Seal wrap. I've had my set for 2 years, and they are still as fresh as the day I bought them.

Updated * Much love grains 😁
Chloe, good way to remember: The word Stalactites has a “C” and so does Ceiling which they grow down from in a cave. The word Stalagmites has a “G” and so does Ground which is where they grow up from.
There’s also another rhyme, actually several but I think the C and G is best.
“Stalagmites might reach the roof. Stalactites have to hold on tight.”
The first hack doing it your way is a creative way to record the paints and colours you have as well.
Stalactites hang from the ceiling...you can remember, because they need to hold on tight. Stalagmites come from the floor. Love the jack-o-lantern.

I've never, ever used air dry clay that is...stringy! 😂😂 Tbh with you, Chloe, air dry clay is so inexpensive and comes in every colour imaginable as you can buy a cheap starter kit online for next to nothing. If you want more detailed and less "pre-teen," I would suggest using polymer clay. It also comes in a billion different colours and finishes (brights, pastels, metallics, glitters etc, etc). It's a similar thing, but it's baked in the oven to cure it and will stay that way after baking it. You can bake your pieces several times so you don't smush any details in a finished part while you work on the next. It's much nicer and less messy to work with, too!
Love the hand idea definitely trying this one xx
Great video!! It is Halloween time, especially love the Jack-o-lantern.
Your makeup is has been just flawless lately!
You seriously inspire me in every video. You aren't afraid to show when things don't work out perfectly, and it's so humanizing. You look stunning again, and your hair looks so cute every way you wear it!! Love you, Jackie, Mira, and Rae so so much! I love even more that you are all friends❤
Ps. Stelagmites grow up and stelactites hold on tight from the top.
Fun to watch, I subscribed. Grain love! ❤
That handprint one and the clay one were so cool. Also legit the only difference between stalagmites and stalactites is whether they grow from the ceiling or the floor of the cave.
With the scratch board one, I do the colors with crayon and that way the wax repels the pain just enough to separate when scratched.
The one with the colorful paint under the black paint mixed with dish soap, you need to use oil pastels underneath!
I have a hack tip weird idea thingy for people who either hate swatching or love it….. swatch your colours in random square and oblong shapes leaving spaces or not between them and ensure to leave a wide space between each row, then doodle a house/shop/pub… on each swatch and give each door a number. The numbers can be listed as a street directory below your village/city. This lets you have a cool picture to put up to reference your colours without the shame of displaying swatches (no shame if that’s your thing!).
I love reverse colouring book activity. I like to do that type of thing after textural activity. It’s so creative ❤
How dare anyone out there not love the giant marker!!😱😡 I love the giant marker!!🖍💙
You rule and haters drool, girl!!😗✨
I think it would've been easier to add paint to the clay in larger batches and then separating the already coloured clay into the little balls also ensuring that too much paint wasn't added as that would change the texture of the clay.
The second hack absolutely works. You just need to use crayons underneath. As a kid I used to love doing fireworks with this
The oil pastel hack works if you use oil pastels and go over the colour with a black oil pastel
The marker was literally my favorite wtf😂❤
The dishsoap trick really works! I used to make scratcher cards by just putting tape over whatever was meant to be revealed, then painting over it with a mix of dish soap and (usually silver) acrylic paint.
The mirror reminded me of trix cereal, now i want a fruit loop mirror 😂
Chloe all I can say re the first thing you said.... people are petty!
Personally I really enjoyed your last art HACK video oh and every video I've watched of yours sooo thankyou!
Hello Chole, I absolutely love the Mirror! I now want to do something for my daughter!
That sounds so nice! If you do it I’m sure she’ll love it
Yes! Two videos two days in a row! Plus a Mariah video at
4 today! 🎉🎉🎉
the paint stain zoom in on your shoulder made me burst out laughing 😂
lol your orange finners made me giggle 🙃
I watched Jackie’s video first(I’m catching up on videos) I absolutely love what you guys have made. You make it look even easier to make these things. So cool. Love how creative people can be 😊
Just did scratchboard with elementary school students. We did black crayon over colored crayon with one group, and rainbow commercial scratchboard with the other group, but lesson plan suggested using tempera paint. We sharpened paintbrushes using a handheld pencil sharpener to make scratch tools, and the other group used pennies. I'd recommend heavier paper or cardstock for this project, and ALWAYS plan your drawing BEFORE you start scratching.
You are so creative i am always amazed by your art ❤ lot's of love from New Jersey ❤
I think the original artist who came up the concept of painting on paint chips the same color is Temi Danso Art. She's here on YT & over a year ago she started learning how to goache paint by painting on painting on a stack of them. :This goache painting took me 2 months to complete"
*I dont know the artist featured in this featured video, but it definitely looks like they were inspired by her.
I remember doing those scratch papers in school. we used a good card stock, and crayons or oil pastels. Then mixed a little soap with the acrylic paint (think bulk school paint quality) to help it "stick" to the oily/waxy layer and painted a decent layer on. Loved scratching these off.
Love the Tombow pens as well and I ALWAYS have paint on my clothing somewhere, even if I haven't been near paint in weeks.
Stalactites are going down (like you drew), stalagmites are growing up. In French, it’s easy to remember … stalactites tombent (fall down) and stalagmites montent (go up).
We used to make the scraping papers in primary school, and we just used oil pastels and then a layer or 2 of regular black watercolor on top. Worked great!
Much love from grains. Love your videos
For the air dry clay hack, Chloe! What I did was buy colored air dry clay it comes in small pouches and is quite easy to find if u search it up ,and if you don't feel like buying that you can colour tge same white clay a little tip is to add only a tiny drop of paint rather than that much and mix it into the clay that way it saves you time n your clay won't be messy at all and you can wear gloves to it won't stick that way ! (I've tried this hack before and just noticed you adding too much paint into the clay ) hope this helps! 😊
Chloe, I liked the crayon and marker craft hack. Thought it was really cute.
hacks, tricks, crafts...whatever. This is fun content and I am hear for it. I really thought the hand one is a great way to get out of your head and get lost in something for a minute. That can be really helpful for artblock. I also think its a fun little date night activity too! I am also so excited for your shop opening on the 19th! That bear desk mat is just so ding dang cute. I will try my best to get my paws on it but, I have a feeling I am not the only one who will be lined up for it.
I loved this video! I saw Jackie’s too. Y’all did some really cool things! I love the idea of the mirror. I think I would use clay that already has a color - it just seems easier. 💜💜
I think the air dry clay was maybe to warm, it looked really stringy and melty. If you watch the original video it was not like that. I love sculpting and I have never seen air dry clay so stringy. I think you would have had an easier time if the air dry clay was not like that.
Yeah I have to agree with someone else and you, that wasn’t air dry clay, that looked like **foam** air dry clay, not **paper** air dry clay.😂
@@bootercup001Chloe used the exact same bag the girls used..it was the foam kind. Not sure what the og commenter said before the edit but from the new edit she wasn’t saying she didn’t use the right one just that it was too warm. I think she just used to much paint because it got sticky
@@skylightergacha6791 Thank you this is exactly what I was trying to say. I do also agree that she added to much paint but also you can see her grabbing the clay before the paint and it looks like it was too sticky from the get go vs the OG video. The OG comment was the same I just added a period to make it more clear.
This video should be called "How to overcome art block", so many amazing ideas and I will defiantly try them 😍
I believe Temi popularized the first “trick” here on TH-cam with the paint samples and also used gouache paint as a way to improve her skills with that medium. She has an art book coming out with her work from this project. Her art is so beautiful and detailed. If you haven’t seen it definitely recommend her channel.
Easier way of doing a homemade scratch card = color with pencil crayon and then coat very heavily with black wax crayon
On the scratch paper we have done it before with crayons on the background and straight black acrylic on top no need to dilute. I’ve also rehydrated himi gouache in the past just add loads of water and leave overnight with a couple of drops of clove oil to prevent mould
The scratch paint that you did Chloe I have done the exact same thing before. There is nothing wrong with what you used to make it with but the trick I found was to cover the first layer with ordinary plastic sticky/clear packing tape and then put the layer of paint and soap on top. Wait for it to dry then scratch. 😁
The mirror looks sooo pretty! 😍💕
2 in a week 🩷 love you and Jackie, when worlds collide
My cousin and I used to collect paint sample cards and bookmarks.
Love nerdecrafter. I'm really enjoying your videos, too.
Fun channel. Thanks for all you share. Hack...use crayons; color the first layer with all different colors - patterns, shapes, no designs. Then layer a black crayon on top - when you carve out your design, it wll be multicolored.
just a quick tip - you can remove acrylic paint from clothes with nail polish remover - be careful to check the colour fastness of the fabric (maybe on a hem?) before you apply it, and don't use too much - it works!
The clay you used doesn’t look like the air dry clay I’ve used in the past,I’ve bought good air dry clay from The Works(I’m British so I don’t know if The Works is in America and such) but it’s not stringy or sticky like yours.
It’s foam and it looked like that because she got it too sticky with the paint. She used too much I’ve colored my foam air dry clay befit and u just need a litttle
@@skylightergacha6791 ah,ok,in other videos I’ve seen people use a clay with red packing,so that’s like air dry clay,as you said Chloe used foam clay
I use plastic wrap to cover my gouache when I'm not using them and it's kept them from drying out for a long time!
I've done the scratch paint one but I did use craft paint from Target. I have a friend that loves to do lottery scratchers so when we took her to Vegas for her birthday one year, I made a fake scratcher so she could find out where we were going. It worked really well! I think craft paint and a higher ratio of dish soap to paint would work better. (It's been quite a few years since I did it so I don't recall exactly how I did the whole design.)
I used to do the scratch paint technique when I was little but it was a painting of random colours underneath and then black crayon or wax pastel on top and then scratch your design through the wax.
