Ultimate Paper Mache | Easy Diy Modeling Paste - Paint Fur and Textures @UltimatePaperMache | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This is a really easy way to create some modeling paste that will let you paint thick fur texture. In my experiments it dries very hard, and is reasonably flexible. You'll want to do your own experiments to make sure it will work for your project, of course. This recipe just uses drywall joint compound with a dab of acrylic paint.
I've seen other videos with modeling paste recipes using baby powder and glue. If you've used that version, and you try mine, too, please let us know which one you like best. 👶
In the video I mentioned that you can also use plain drywall joint compound to smooth your paper mache sculpture, and if you're interested you can see that video here: youtu.be/Ad2iLa201kA
The pattern for the giraffe in that video can be found here (hint - it would make a memorable gift 😊): ultimatepapermache.com/giraffe
And I also mentioned that for really heavy, thick fur, you might want to use the paper mache clay recipe instead, along with a fur-stamp like the one I used when I made my grizzly bear. You can see that video here: youtu.be/nWrk5InHPRM
The "DIY gesso" that I intended to use for the ram's facial fur doesn't really have a recipe. It's just drywall joint compound with some glue added to make it more brushable. You can use it for some textures, too, but the edges will be softer and less well-defined.
This has nothing to do with this video, but I want to learn how to make cold-cast bronze sculptures. If you're interested in that subject, too, please let me know. And don't forget to sign up for my weekly email newsletter here: ultimatepapermache.com/newsletter
