crackle with glue

[clode]

has anyone ever tried to paint on the glue on canvas frames? to make cracks effects and if so how is it resistant in time? by varnish at the end to fix or not necessary?

I have painted over pva glue on paper a couple of times and it seems to have held up well so far, although it has only been a year or so.

Yes, it does look quite cool, like paint on an old door.

an old trick to make crackled, aged effects of old paint was to was to cover the surface of a painted surface with rabbit glue, then apply a thin layer or three or seven of various hues of milk paint. It was popular in ye old days when crafts were more popular.

I suspect acrylics over glue would have the same effect, there are crackle effect paints available still in most hobby-type stores in little jars. Experiment, and post photos of the results

the storm having calmed down I turn on the computer again … here are my two essays the red on canvas frame, the blue on watercolor paper on black background each time .. dry and then I passed the wood glue and immediately set paint without rubbing so as not to disturb the glue .. here are the pictures .
I did not varnish then because I had the impression that the wood glue well dry did not fear moisture ..

Lovely result with the gold Clode! I used to have some rabbit skin glue somewhere Greggo, it is stinky stuff though, which is why it is somewhere in a box…

Your paintings look like what I had envisioned.
I think I did some frames in that crackle effect.
Never tried it intentionally in a painting, altho a few paintings did crackle unexpectedly, some even flaked off.

Have you done any experiments with varnish yet clode? I might try putting some clear medium over mine but, as you say, it will be safer to make sure that it is completely dry before doing that.

I did a test by putting water with the brush on the parts glue dries .. it seemed impermeable. I also exposed the red and gold (for a brave test because I had a day a disappointment with another technique poorly mastered ..) .in a church disused wet and cold place in principle and it has not moved after a month …. I concluded that acrylic on wood glue not need to varnish?

Thank you clode, that is good to know.
