How to make your own Jesmonite paint
Hey my lovelies,
thank you so much for all of your support lately I have really enjoyed chatting to you all in the LIVE CHAT premieres. Please let me know if you are enjoying it too.
In this video I am showing you how I make Jesmonite paint using Jesmonite products in accordance with their website.
This video is a "how to make paint" not so much a "How to Paint" ha ha I definitely lack painting skills ... but I hope that the message is still clear on the paint itself.
Half way through the video I mention Virginia and how she is teaming up with Aqua Resin in the USA to supply kits and classes to those interested. If you are in the USA and interested in this, contact Virginia:

Hi, Claire! I got my Molds and Shapes coasters mold from your contest, the other day. WOW! What outstanding quality! I looked on their website, and they have a huge selection. They've got the coolest clock molds. I can't wait to get the moon and mermaid clock. It's not the typical crescent moon, like we see so much of. Their designs are original and awesome. Thank you again so much for having that contest and picking me (via software) as the winner... and for turning me on to Molds and Shapes! That pigment is CRAZY STRONG! That one little drop made all that color??? WOW! You said you were going to post the AliExpress molds link. Did you forget, or were you just teasing us? hehe I just counted my emails, and I have 260 orders with AliExpress that I am waiting on. I just HAVE to buy almost everything I see being used in videos. I'm more about the shopping than the making. You were MADE for holidays - especially Halloween! You Halloween work is always so amazing! 15:54 - Something that is so free and doesn't mean anything - like President Biden's words.

Hi there!! actually what i think that you mistakened at 8:11 was the amount of paint you applied in the starting of swipe i am not an expert on jesmonite material but i know that how these paints can react to silicon molds and concrete type of surface(jesmonite)

Heyyyy lovely... can we put water in Jesmonite ? That might work 😍😍
I know people who do acrylic art pours use a drop of silicone oil in the paint to help create the cells so I wonder if you sealed the piece unpainted first, and then add a drop of silicone oil to your paint mixture and then paint....it might help create the effect you got when you painted directly onto the mold? I don’t know if it would work on an unsealed piece though??!! 🤔🤔

Heyyyy Kerry .... Yes I have used that oil in paint pours ... it is possible for sure ... I think Acrylic paint and Acrylic paint pens would give a much flatter Opaque finish than this paint too xx
I really like that drippy one. And I would love to see you do a black/red version at Halloween. And a purple one with lime green drips.

Thank you so much Colette .. yes I totally think those colours would rock ! purple is a great idea too ! xx
Well done 👍
it seems like the thinner the sealant is the better it stuck to the jesmonite. Perhaps the light blue color was too thick at that end. I wonder if it would work if you didn't allow it to dry before pouring your jesmonite ontop.

3 жыл бұрын
Yess I think you might be right ... I totally will try that for sure .... I tried pouring when it was still wet and it didn't work out ... so I waited an hour or 2 and it didn't work either 🤣🤣 definitely tricky! But will try the thinner one again I think x thanks so much !
Great tips 👍

Hi Claire. Can you paint with acrylic paints on this after or before? I had an idea of like doing an artist palette, either with just paint brush strokes or exactly as you would find on a palette, kind of mixed but am not sure the best way to go? Any advice would be amazing.
but this idea is very good one and the video also, good luck keep working !!

hello! your work is great!! I am new to jesmonite and the truth is jesmonite dries too quicly here so I find it difficult to move the mold and get a flat result for it.. It dries before I put it into place :/
Did you clean the mold with alcohol before you put the paint in? Just looks like something alcohol would do xxx

hi claire! while watching this i work a lot with acrylic paints and i can only think of the lifting issue being due to having thick the layer is? since the black color had so thickness on the edges it didn't lift whereas the teal did have a lot of excess that is maybe why it got caught?

Long shot, but do you think you could use a mould release on the silicone before putting the paint down to try to get it to stick to the jesmonite and not the mould?I don't have any to experiment with right now haha. I also assume that this sealer method would be a good way to add gold leaf etc.
