John, this looks very interesting! You use thick acrylic paint, "painted on" with a spatula and misted with water?? And after drying you do a repaint, so to say? The structure is really awesome and looks like fresh done concrete. Perfect idea and many thanks for sharing! Next, my concretes will be done the "John way"!

Frank,
All correct. You can use any color craft paint. But if you use the final desired color, then there is no need to repaint.
Mix the craft acrylic 1:1 with baking soda. The baking soda provides the rough texture. The acrylic glues it all together.

Do you have any issues with cracking or brittleness?

Do you have any issues with cracking or brittleness? No. The acrylic remains flexible. I've never had a crack. The material does shrink slightly, as does any water based product. So it can warp thin sections of flexible substrate like foam or cardboard. The warping can be offset by using the acrylic on all sides so that the shrinkage occurs evenly. |
