Adding oil to the polymer clay will definitely make it softer, because it works as a solvent. and the oil you add will change the temperature at which the clay hardens, that's why it remained soft after baking. (I'm a chemist & Artist). I enjoyed your videos, they're so straight to the point and really helpful especially for a beginner.

I use pastels to make my own clay colors. I'll mix the chalk pastels in and there's hardly any staining! It saves a ton of money because the colors come out quite nice with the super Sculpey beige. Then just use white for any bright yellow or whites that you need!

stelin alee yes you're right. I was making charms with air drying clay and once it was dryed, I colored it. and when I started with polymer clay- it was soooo fun and easier to make charms. how old are you? if you're still in school you can make charms and sell it to your friends. I'm still in school and sell my charms and with this money I buy my polymer clay (FIMO) 😍😘

you should use translucent clay instead of white because the color will show more and u can put less paint.;)

I've been wondering about this for so long, and haven't found any videos until now! Thanks!

FYI: Painting after baking only adds a thin layer of pigment sitting on top of the baked clay. If the final piece is not varnished, the paint could be scratched and come off. Mixing paint into the clay, on the other hand, locks in the pigment deep inside the clay during the baking process. Therefore, no varnishing will be required, unless you want to change the finish, say to add glossiness. All in all, there is a point to coloring clay before baking.

I love your videos, Rachel!! I was binge watching all of them until i got the notification for this one 😁

Very neat! I think a little less on the oil paint might have helped too for the staining. :) I bet only a little dab of it would have made a super black color. I wish you had tried the water color without the water as well. That would have been interesting. I have some old water color paints from when my son was little somewhere. My mom sent a lot of them to him once (I think she found a sale lol) and I think I still have one not even opened yet. I may have to try it without adding water and see what happens. I will scrape some out like I do with eye shadows. - Heidi

can you try to color the clay with watercolor without the water though? like instead of chalk pastels?

Yess, I wanna try adding oil paint to my clay and leaching my clay to take out some of the oil to leave mainly just the pigment.

Can you bake oil paints with clay??

another person said if u leave the clay alone for 3-5 days after mixing ( kneeding it every few hours) the water evaporates and u can use it as normal and u dont get bubbles

Could you leave the clay mixed with oil paint on paper to leach out some excess oil?

I buy the 350g block of white Fimo and the cheap blocks of clay from Amazon and use them for dyeing my white clay to get colors, the cheap blocks are very pigmented but very sticky which makes them almost useless for modelling but ideal for mixing colors.

Imo, you used A LOT of acrylic paint. No judgement, but using acrylic is all I've ever tried to use in the paint department, but I have never had any problems with it. I love this video though! This was an amazing idea/experiment! I LOVE polymer clay. I am also self-taught. I have been doing this for about 7yrs now. So much fun!

What about scratching dry watercolour like chalk?

You can mix water with air-dry clay, but not with polymer clay because it makes bubbles and makes the clay fragile. It deteriorates the consistency of the material. It is better with oil pant, but do not add a lot, because in the video you put so much paint for a tinny piece

I wonder what would happen if you used the water paint palettes, but scraped them off like you would a chalk pastel? Would it be similar to a pastel?

I’m not sure sorry! You could always do a few test pieces to see how it works 😄

Ive had good luck coloring white Fimo , and the flesh toned Sculpey original, with acrylic paints and colored sidewalk chalk. With the chalk i ground it on sandpaper, but this method doesnt make vibrant colors. Its more of a light pastel. I prob use about the same amount of acrylic paint as you used, though i stick mine in a plastic bag, and wear gloves, to mix the color in. Then i always let it sit for at least 24 hrs before using. But longer seems to hold the color better while baking. Ive never had any issues with bubbling. I need to try the oil paint method it seems to give the best color IMO. I think yours bubbled because the outside of the clay bakes really fast sealing it, as the inside bakes the excess moisture cant escape. so it bubbles up. I think allowing them to rest a day or two so the excess moisture evaporates it might stop the bubbles.

You should do the five minute clay challenge!

What happened when you mix oil and acrylic color together and then used them to color clay?😅❤️

Polymer clay is a polyvinyl chloride, a plastic-based material... so it only makes sense that you would get bubbles with acrylic paint, which is water based. You can also add fragrances to polymer clay like essential oils and certain spices like ground cinnamon. (no food extract oils as it can affect the quality of your project) Happy Crafting! 🙂

Can you do air dry ?

I have seen Japanese people put acrylic paint into their clay pieces, but they use an air dry clay. I was wondering what'd it be like with Polymer clay and tried it, thank you! Seems very messy :p

The reason that the palette watercolor clay was crumbly was because when the water dried, it was basically just the dry, crumbly pigment left.

I have already done this when I needed black clay.

You might have better results with a higher pigment acrylic paint, like those for painting miniature models.

I just paint what I sculpt after it is baked,but fun to watch the experiment

It's hard to get the exact color when used on white polymer clay and lots of paints get wasted on the hand and by the time u get the desired color, the clay becomes crumbly and keeps staining the pasta machine while conditioning. Better option i found is to paint the final product with acrylic paint, leave the piece to dry completely for a day and then bake. I came to this conclusion after mixing 1 block (400gm) of white clay with different acrylic colors for them to come out pale after baking 😭
