Create Faux Wood Grain

[inkstainedroni]

Yes, you sure can. It's a technique originally intended for walls, doors, woodwork, etc.

[Jzmis5]

Can I use it for wall as well?

[TheSwampwoman]

Can this tenique be used on plastic as well?

[inkstainedroni]

Yes, it really is that easy.

[FoodOnCrack]

is it that easy? ._.

[inkstainedroni]

Oh yes, this would work great for a mask. The glaze is soft and pliable once it's dry so it wouldn't crack or flake off.

@inkstainedroni hi.  i want to do a faux wood grain finish on a wall. i have a wood graining tool already, but, if i'm doing a whole wall, wouldn't i need to create a faux finish to show the length of the wood pieces? i.e., wood planks aren't the height of the wall are they?

So would this technique work on a paper mask? One of my friends in my Drama class, we're making masks for small group productions, is trying to imitate a wooden mask so she needs a wood grain effect. This would be on paper mache that's been painted over with a layer of white acrylic paint.

Can I paint this onto my penis so I quite literally get wood?

Nope, it wouldn't have been better to use wood or cardboard since the whole idea was to create paper to be used on my cards or scrapbooks. I didn't struggle at all and the paper really wasn't "wet" or "soggy"....I was simply demonstrating how to get a variety of looks by dragging the tools through the glaze.

It's a very forgiving technique as there is a large open time on the glaze. Gives you lots of time to play with the glaze to get the look you want.

It would've been better if you had actually used a piece of wood or even cardboard. It looks like you're having a super rough time with that soggy piece of paper. Starting out with a neat application of paint would've saved you so much trouble and ended up looking way better. Not being mean, promise :)

[XSmexyLamaX]

i wonder if this could be used to create the effect of a woody on a car

[Gioxtream]

I am Wondering if there is any tool to Create the same effect of a burl wood?

[browngathers]

Can this be used with Papier Mache. I want to use it for a mask.

[inkstainedroni]

I'm not sure what you mean by smeary... If you are asking why you can manipulate the glaze multiple times it's because of the glazing medium. It remains wet and workable for quite some time but once you leave it alone it will dry fairly quickly.

[bryanwomack1968]

Why is it so smeary?

Rather than working directly on the pipe you would be better off creating the faux wood grain on a pliable foundation (canvas, watercolor paper, etc.) then wrapping it around the PVC pipe. It would be very difficult to get a decent wood grain effect using these tools on a curved surface.

@inkstainedroni

If you use this technique to cover painted wood, what do you cover your finished product with to protect the finish? Where did you get your graining tools. I looked at Lowe's tonight and they only had the one small rocker tool.

Thanks for posting this!!

[coyotecrow4]

how well would this work on something round, like a piece of pvc pipe? 

[inkstainedroni]

I bought the roller at an auction but you can find them at hardware or home improvement stores in the faux finish section of the paint department. 

[MdMumsie]

Great video! Where did you purchase the roller? At the hardware or craft store?

[liveteachcreate]

This is just AMAZING! I totally love it!

[inkstainedroni]

yes, they are awesome aren't they! I love them too!!

[paperdrama]
