After it’s fully dried, you may notice that sections of the mud have cracked.Left pic below is after about 1 day of drying. I let mine dry for about 5 days before moving to the next step. Allow this to dry FULLY, especially if you have some thicker mud sections.Just gloop a bunch of drywall mud onto the canvas and shape it until you’re happy with how it looks. Once your painted canvas is dry, it’s time to texture! There are no rules to this process. I used matte wall paint and a paint brush – really making sure that I got the paint into the weave of the fabric. Anyhoo, just paint the whole thing and let it dry fully before starting anything else. Basically the way I understand it is that the idea is to make it so that the fabric is a little stronger base to hold your mud and so that the moisture won’t sink into it as much. I saw that pros do this with something called “gesso” (?) but I figured that house paint would probably function the same and it worked for me.
