If you decide you don’t want to paint your art, you will need to use something to seal the joint compound.
#Creating plaster wall art crack
The paint acts as a sealant for the joint compound not to crack or break off. Paint color of your choice - I used left over paint from my fireplace, Behr in Carbon in a matte finish then used some left over black semi-gloss for the detailing. Notch Trowel or something similar to create the texture you want Plaster or Joint Compound - I recommend joint compound it doesn’t flake or break as much.

It was genius and I love the detailing it added to my artwork. Then I saw an inspo pic on Pinterest of a black painting where the detailing was highlighted with semi-gloss paint to give it that WOW factor and bring out the texture. So, I starting racking my brain and thought ugh, duh - lets paint them BLACK! I knew I had to be careful with black though, because I didn’t want to lose any texture. I felt like if I kept them white (the color of the joint compound once it dries) or a light color, it wouldn’t show up or look good against my white walls. I knew I wanted to try the art plaster trend out for myself, but I needed to add a pop of color if I was going to display them on my walls. I invited one of my very best friends, Christina over to give me a hand and we had the best time! I highly recommend an art inspired “girls day”.
I’ve seen a ton of plaster art DIY’s all over Insta and TikTok and I’ve been dying to try it! I thought it would be a fun “girls day” activity. I can’t believe I almost forgot to share my DIY Plaster Art with you guys! I promise you- it’s so easy and you can totally do it yourself! CLICK HERE to watch a short video on how we did it.
