could you use any kind of paint to make clay?

Answer 1

Well, there is "structural paint" that you can buy at an art supply store, or maybe a craft store.
Or you can make your own by adding an acrylic medium to acrylic paint (one that makes it thicker).

I would assume you could also add powders or particles to acrylic paint, or to permanent "white glues," then model with them, since there are a lot of clays that are made with white glues and lots of something else (sawdust, paper mash, etc.).

Just adding a smaller amount of some of those things to acrylic paint will make a material that's good for "bas relief" if not actual 3-D modeling. We even do that with polymer clay (add liquid polymer clay or veg. oil, etc.), or thicken liquid clay with various powders, etc.

Oil-based paints wouldn't be very good for modeling, I don't think, because they take forever to dry at least.
Some latex paints may be similar to some latex rubber molding materials or sculpting clays, but don't really know about that.

(Of course, paints can be added to all kinds of clays just enough to color them.)
