Acrylic Pour Painting with Mixed Results | Abstract Art

This acrylic pouring demo didn't start with any particular vision in mind which may have been part of the problem. Sometimes I just want the colors to lead the way. Don't be afraid to add on or take away when things don't go as planned. I try to keep most of my acrylic pour demos beginner friendly. The only medium I used to dilute my paint was, WATER & FLOETROL! As always Thank you all so much for watching, Subscribing, and Sharing. Colors Used : Light Turquoise Phthalo Green White Gold Metalllic Ice Blue Metallic Have fun casting acrylic, do not forget to subscribe to my channel so you will not miss a recent video. Many Thanks Candice --------------- What do you need for acrylic pouring/fluid painting? In acrylic pouring or fluid painting, diluted acrylic paints are cast on the canvas using various techniques. This results in quite random results. Every picture is unique. ---------------- 1. acrylic paint ---------------- You can use what you like here. Acrylic paints from brand companies usually have a thicker consistency and therefore lower consumption. Cheap brands are often thinner, you need a little more color. These are the bands I mainly use. Look for what suits you and your wallet. Possibly. you have to adjust my Pouring recipe, which comes down below with your acrylic paint something. https://amzn.to/2IO2zBI (advertising Amazon.com*) https://amzn.to/2WQz7A6 (advertising Amazon.com *) --------------------- 2. The Pouring Medium --------------------- The only pouring medium I used was a 60/40 Glue & Floetrol mix with a bit of water. The Pouring Medium ensures that the acrylic paint is fluid and pourable. There are now many varieties available. Liquitex is also a good option, even without silicone oil beautiful cells are possible. https://amzn.to/2IO4hTE (Glue) (advertising Amazon.com*) https://amzn.to/2IRUThN (Floetrol) (advertising Amazon.com*) https://amzn.to/2WNHLPJ (Liquitex) (advertising Amazon.com*) https://amzn.to/2MU4Gcz (advertising Amazon.com *) -------- 3. Water -------- Only acrylic paint and casting medium is usually not enough, the color must be made a little more liquid, but I use normal tap water. In the end, the ready-mixed color should flow evenly off the stirring tool like warm liquid honey. --------------- 4. Final treatment ------------------ If the pictures have dried after about 3-5 days, the acrylic paint will not shine as well as when wet. To restore this shine, use the Pouring Medium. But you can also use a special gloss varnish to create even more shine. https://amzn.to/31BZGN7 (advertising Amazon.com *) Otherwise, you only need a canvas in its preferred size and a few cups to touch the colors. ---------------------- My acrylic pouring recipe ---------------------- 1 part color 1 part Pouring Medium 1/2 part of water !!! Important, the canvas must first be primed with Acrylic Pouring Medium or paint otherwise, the edges absorb too much paint. ---------------------------------------- Cast acrylic - quantity calculation How much color is needed for his canvas? ---------------------------------------- Approximately 0.3 grams per square centimetre, this is the complete mixture meant. Suppose you have a canvas of 40 x 40 cm = 1600cm2. Calculation 1600 x 0.3 grams = 480 grams of the complete mixture so all colors, pouring medium and water added up. For a 40x40 cm two-color image, the mix looks like this: Rounded up to 500 grams so that no later color is missing: 100 g of colorful paint 100 g of fluid medium 50 g of water 100 g white color 100 g of fluid medium 50 g of water On the bottles is usually a millilitre indication, you can take that in grams, 250 ml color is not exactly 250 g, but the difference does not matter. #withme #LandscapePainting​ #AcrylicPainting​
