DIY Tips for Creating Stunning Designs with Crusher Dust & Paint

Painting with crusher dust is an interesting technique for achieving interesting textures. With a few tips and tricks you can get the finished product you are seeking.

First, you will need to get the preparation underway. Make sure the dry rabbit skin glue is fully dissolved in water and place it in a crock pot. While it soaks, do not turn the crock pot on, but place a lid on it and allow it to set for a couple of hours. Once the glue has melted, stir it carefully as not to clump it together. Wear a dust mask or respirator during this preparation process as it can be dangerous.

Next, mix the titanium white pigment with marble dust in another container. Once well blended, combine it with the hot melted glue mixture. As you do this, be sure to use caution as the glue will be hot and you can use a palette knife to stir the mixture carefully.

Once the dust has been added to the palette, it is time to mix the oil painting medium. Be sure to use a medium like linseed oil with the marble dust and add the medium until the desired consistency has been reached. This may be for a thicker paste for an impasto technique or more opaque for the color desired.

Once the consistency is achieved, mix in the desired paint color to the now blended medium and dust mixture. You can experiment with different types of paint to really make your painting stand out.

When you are finished painting, make sure to clean up well to avoid any potential dust or debris causing harm to you or anyone else. Wear protective clothing and safety glasses when cleaning up.

Painting with crusher dust is an enjoyable way of creating unique textures, but be sure to prepare the mixture carefully and use caution when mixing the dust and medium together. Wear a dust mask or respirator and clean up well when finished. With the right preparation and technique, you can create a beautiful piece of art.
