Easy painting technique - How to make a crackled finish (no crackle medium)

Can you do it without a hair dryer, i.e., letting it dry naturally?

This kinda happened to me on accident but I was painting a Christmas ornament. I was using the same color the whole time and I'm not sure what would have happened if I used different colors. It made kind of a cool texture even though that wasn't what I was going for. I'll think of it as a happy accident though because I do love me some texture!

Thank you for your video; clear and direct directions and explanation. ❤🙏

I used this to paint my headphones a cracked lava texture

The fox is my spirit animal , this is the most beautiful painting I've seen of a fox .... your so talented 🙌🧡🦊
How much would a paining of a fox like this cost ?

You talk so fast I didn't grasp all what you said. You put a tick layer of painting then on top of it you put a thin layer after that you use air dryer to dry them.

I have a watercolor painting of a garden scene as if you are looking out of a window to the backyard. I am trying to decide how I want to paint the "cross section and outside frame of the (imaginary) window." I am leaning towards a crackle technique and am wondering if this one would work on this particular painting. The painting is on crescent board, so it's pretty sturdy. Have you ever done this as part of a watercolor?

I love the garbage bin skit😂 you two are a trip! I’d kill for friends like you🥰

With all due respect, in a tutorial video better to focus on the hands doing the work than the person showing their face!

So what's the actual dimensional texture of the finish like when dry using your technique? Is it a mostly smooth in the dimensional sense making it mostly visual effect or is it actually pretty chunky? The paint cracking like that has to leave some texture but it looks like your blue paint layer was a pretty thinly applied overall.

tryin 2b a comedian... didnt understand zip,,,,

Your fox is gorgeous

Great tutorial! Thanks

Interesting! Do the cracks make it more difficult to paint your subject? Are there Divots?

WHAT THE HELL THAT INTRO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Very cool and love the look of it! Thanks for sharing

Lovely! Well done Lisa, thanks so much for teaching us!

this is so awesome and i love seeing different techniques from different mediums so i can learn but i only work in coloured pencil as i have tried other mediums and they just dont have the feel i have with coloured pencils, so can you show this for folks like myself thanks a bunch

I think I'm going to try this for my mandala backgrounds 🥰🥰🥰

How cool is this!

This was such an interesting lesson.

Dumb question: how to get it to crack horizontally instead of vertically?

Thank you for this, I love it!

This is so cool Lisa ! So, does this cause the painting on top(the fox) to peel off or change?

Ooo ima try this!!

I did this accidentally before so at first glance I thought this was a tutorial to avoid having them lol

As soon as I get my studio set back up I will be doing this lesson!

This is such a cool technique! I'd love to give this a go when I jump back into acrylics again. Thanks for sharing ^^ The end result turned out beautiful! :)

This is awesome. Of course I see this, 3 days after I bought crackle medium 🤦🏼‍♀️ lol

Loved it!!❤🦋want to try this asap🥺
