MAKE PAINT FROM PIGMENTS! How I mix my PIGMENTS for DUTCH POUR | MUST WATCH
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2022
- Hello Everyone! In this video am mixing pigments for my Dutch Pour. Honestly I am mixing pigments to make a medium to heavy body paint first and then dilute down with pouring medium. With this recipe you can tailor the consistency to the technique that you want to work with. Personally I work with mostly thin paints so I am showing you how I mix my paint that I make from pigments into a dutch pour consistency to use with my dutch pours and pearl pours. I really hope that you enjoy this video and if you have any question please comment below! I read and respond to all comments.

Thank you for this! Timing is great for me, as I just went on a late night TLP buying spree!
You are so welcome! Those late night sprees can be dangerous! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Thanks Tara!
Thanks for the info. Was wondering how to use pigments in my dutch pour. ❤
Thank you so much Mark! I really glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Hi, Tara. Just a little "tip" that works and it makes sense, for me, first use the liquide and then add the pigment, in that case you won't have pigment stuck to the bottom of your container and less "puff" in the air. I don't know, maybe I imagine things. 🙃🙃
That’s a good tip Dominus! Thanks so much! ❤️🙏🏻☺️
Fantástico Tara gosto muito da sua Arte ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️☺️🙏🏻
This is great Tara. I love gac 100. Note Golden's airbrush medium is great for thinning paint down as well. Will love to see what you find with TLPs in pearl pours too. 😊
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the tip! I’m going to try them with the pearl pours soon! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Beautiful painting and Keep creating.
Thank you so much! ☺️
That was awesome...😝😝😝 CHRIS
Thanks!
New subscriber 🙋🏻♀️ I have solely just used epoxy resin for pouring into molds but I am thinking I really want to learn more fluid art like Dutch pours and more, I think I will learn a lot from your channel
Thank you so much! I haven’t really worked much with resin. We have a live hate relationship…lol! 🤦🏻♀️🤣 Thanks for watching and subscribing! ☺️🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for sharing 🎨
You are very welcome! 🙏🏻
Great video. Thanks Tara😊😀
Thank you so much Sherry! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Thank you - I have so many piggies and have been intimidated about how to use them - as I don’t do blooms. Not only are the colors scrumptious- this was an incredible tutorial.
Aww. Thanks Cheronda! You have to use those piggies! This is an amazing way to use them in any type of pour possible! I really hope u have success! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Thanks for sharing, and they are beautiful.
Thanks Hana! ☺️❤️🙏🏻
Great information Tara, thank you!
You are very welcome Carol! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
GAC 100 is a fluid acrylic polymer just what golden uses for their fluid paints, GOLDEN ACRYLIC Compound 100 is fantastic for making a acrylic paint from any dry pigment or mica….I use it instead of JoSonjas for the bloom, wishing you a fabulous year Tara, thanks for the beauty you share in living colors 🙋🏼♀️🌹❤️❤️ 🙇♀️ oh dear spoke too soon lol before watching the video…I was showing off 😅….if you need to use water after mixing use Golden Wetting Agent to break the water surface tension and a more fluid paint if needed add to the Blick polymer is much thicker than the GAC less transparent, also if your using the beautiful Primary Element dry pigments GAC 800 works for them not to bleed 😊
Lol! Thanks Milly!!! I started reading this and was confused but then understood once I read further! I love the other tips though! ❤️❤️❤️
Very beautiful
Thank you so much Linda! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
I love them all!
Thank you so much Leesah! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Tara, I love your instructional videos. As well as, I also loved taking your class at PourCon last year in Vegas. Anyway, I came BACK again to this video to remember how you mixed your piggies for a dutch pour. However. I am just chuckling right now, because, before I guess I didn't notice how you've colored your hands, too! Seriously... we mix just alike! LOL! Love ya lady!
Aww! Thank you so much Bonnie for your sweet message! Yea I’m a bit of a mess. I always forget to to put my gloves on even to mix!
It was so great meeting you in Vegas! Hopefully we will see each other again soon. ❤️
Beautiful, thank you for the demo 😊
Thanks Kathleen! I’m glad you liked it! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Thank you for sharing your experiment Tara!! They are all stunning😍💖💖💖
Thanks Tomoko! You are always amazingly sweet! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Thank you for sharing your experiments! I really have shied away from using expensive pigments for techniques that I think will swallow them up. I may have to see what I have in the way of gloss gel. 😊
Yes! Try it Carole it is worth it if you want to use pigments. I love the pigments in the bloom method and am really thrilled to be able to use them for other methods now as well! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Thank you. Helped me a lot.
I’m so glad it was helpful! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Tara, thank you for sharing the technique. You have a gift for teaching.
Awww…Sylvie! Ur so sweet. Thank you for that huge compliment. ☺️❤️🙏🏻
This is so weird Tara!!!
I opened RUclips to research how to make paint with my pigments....listening to how you got your info and just had to tell you. Manifestion at it's finest 👌
Thanks for sharing 🤗
Thanks for letting me know!! Crazy right?! I hope you are very successful! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! All beautiful, the third piece is gorgeous!
Thank you so much Bonnie! ☺️🙏🏻❤️

Thank you so much Laurie! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Wow! Thanks for doing all the research and the. Sharing the results….it must have been time consuming although very informative. I for one, really appreciate it! So nice of you to do. I love all 3 of these and the BLICK is my favorite, some cells but not too many. Again, thank you! You are a gem! 🤗💐
Thanks Kathy! You are always so very kind! ☺️🙏🏻❤️
Thanks for all the info and experiments!’I want to do more Dutch pours with TLPs so this is a lot of help!!! Look forward to all the other experiments 🥰
You are very welcome Penny! ☺️🙏🏻❤️
Awesome tutorial Tara! I love the lacing and cells you got with the golden gloss gel the best😍😍😍
Aww. Thanks Julie! You are always so sweet! I love the cells and lacing in that one too but my favorite color blow out is the one with the blickrylic gel. 🙏🏻☺️❤️
So beautiful Tara! My favourite is the third piece you showed 😍 So stunning! 💖
Thanks so much Shahana! I love that one too! 🙏🏻☺️❤️

P.s. I have NOT gotten to try that pearl technique YET! I haven't had a day off since my satin enamels got here!🙄(ik! totally, not planned trust me) Hopefully I can this week sometime cause the jars just been staring at me, taunting me, sayin "come get me!" I legit, even had a DREAM that I did it!🤦♀ Its happening SOON or I am just gonna sacrifice a night's sleep! Cause Ik if I get it once, there will be more than 1 to follow immediately!
Jessica you are so cute! I’m so glad u enjoyed the video. I can’t wait to see what you do with that satin enamel! Ur gonna have to text me pictures. 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Thank you Tara. Now I need to buy something else. Just beautiful! I am so behind with painting, it's always something else.
Hey Patty! I hear you…life is so busy! If I lived where u do I would probably never paint, lol! ❤️☺️
Love this Tara - love the colors - I think I will go to my studio and practice on my tiles now :). This recipe is amazing and I enjoyed our class so much I cannot wait to try this on my flower pops using my TLP-'s thanks for your inspiration Tara 😘🥰
Thank you my dear Lori! I hope your studio session was successful! Can’t wait to see your flower pops with the pigments! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Awesome demonstration Tara. I want to try using pigments again to see how it goes on my next painting. I love the color palette and want to try that as well. Great video! 😊😊♥♥
Thanks Dad! I can’t wait to see what u do! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Stunning! Enjoyed our class so much today! Love your recipes and I can’t wait to try more!!!
Thank you so much! That’s so amazing. Please send me photos of your work! I want to see what u do. 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Thank you Tara for sharing your experiment video! Great info. I bought some pigments but have held back on mixing because I wasn't quite sure how to get the best results. I live in 🇨🇦 and the cost of shipping is outrageous so I don't want to waste them! THANK YOU😁
You are so welcome Brenda! I hear you…we definitely don’t want to waste them! Keep me posted on how the recipe works for you! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
I'm going to have to try your method. I will order gac100 today. I also haven't ever do e a Dutch pour how you did either. A new technique! Thank you so much
Thanks Leah! Keep me posted how it worked for you! 🙏🏻☺️☺️
What a great video! I haven't really gotten into the pigments because of this very reason. I have a few Colourarte pigments but when I used them they didn't work for me because I didn't mix all my paints and pigments the same way...which can be costly. Others use Josania varnish to wet their pigments and it can be costly too. I so appreciate you experimenting and showing us that there are less expensive ways to mix your pigments. I have the gloss gel from Golden because I use it to make my CA. The Aussie floetrol is too expensive for me. The Golden products are so reliable but its good to know you can get less expensive ingredients...especially when you are still trying to master a technique. All your experimental video are so invaluable to me! I've taken your recipes and used them exclusively, so I don't have spend a lot of money only to find out it doesn't work. Those paintings are divine! When I first saw them, I thought they were your blooms because they had so detail. On looking closer I saw the ethereal wispyness you get with your Dutch pours and I was very excited to see how you created them. BTW, if I don't really pay attention (and sometimes when I do😕😄) I'll get paint everywhere. Just yesterday I got it on my face and some in my mouth...yuk! paint does not taste good😋. Great video Tara! So very helpful!😊🌟💎🌟💎🌟
Thanks so much Tera! I really hope this info helps out! It really helped me out so I’m always happy to pass on what I learn. Thanks so much for all your kind words!!! And did u see what a mess I was…paint in my face, spilling on my mat…🤦🏻♀️ ugh…it was one of those days. Just glad that the final result worked out! 🤣🙏🏻☺️❤️
Hey there sista! Gorgeous results. What a great video!! Thanks for the shoutout! I’m so glad you’ve put this out because although I had the right idea, I had the wrong product. I was using the behr deep base to “make a paint” and that’s wrong for the pearl pours. Thanks so much. Everyday is a new experiment right?? But the journey is awesome!!
The Michelle! It’s so funny because we all help each other to grow! You have definitely helped me and I’m very grateful for all your insights! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
This video was excellent! Just wondered if Golden airbrush medium, although it's a little thinner than GAC 100 could be used to thin as well.
I’m sure you could use it to wet the pigment. ❤️
Lovely pieces Tara . Wish you had a link to the article you were talking about. lovely demonstration & lovely tan 😉😘
Thanks Monarosa! There were many articles listed as well as other info straight from golden. I’d be happy to send you all the information that they send me if you want to email me your info. My email is info@piecesoftaraartistry.com. Here is the link to the one article in specific that I really found helpful. www.justpaint.org/just-make-paint/
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry thank you Tara . I will. Thanks so much in advance. You got a follower here as well. Thanks again
Thanks so much. I appreciate the follow! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Nice video! I'm curious about what caused the cell formations, especially in the middle one. Do you think the Golden Gloss Gel made a difference?
I totally understand your hesitance about mixing water with the pigment paints you make. Just know that pigments are simply what gives paints their color and just about all paints are made of pigments (organic, synthetic,...), binders (acrylic polymer emulsion - aka acrylic medium, PVA, Gum Arabic, linseed oil,…), solvents, and additives. Natural mineral pigments that haven't been chemically modified are water soluble. Modern pigments are synthesized in labs, thus the problem with wetting with water. The point is, acrylic paints that come out of tubes and jars are made with pigments and once your pigments are thoroughly wetted and incorporated into a water-soluble acrylic binder (gel/medium), you should be able to treat it just as you would any of the acrylic paints you buy. I have not used This Little Piggy pigments, but have made paints with others using various mediums - you can see the pigment IDs Golden uses for their paints at www.goldenpaints.com/technicaldata/pigment. Sometimes I run into a pigment that is more difficult to incorporate into the binder. If this ever happens to you, try mixing on a paint palette (glass sheet, etc) with a palette knife - similar to mulling mineral paints.
If you are interested in treating the paints you make like the paints you buy and want to be sure it's safe, just ask the folks at Golden via their contact form (golden.com/about/contact-us/) or via support@golden.com. Don't mean to bore you with geeky info, but thought you might want to know. (。^‿^。)
Thank you so much Marie! All the info that you outlined is such great information. Since doing this video I have had a lot of practice and have come to those conclusions but it’s great to hear it confirmed by someone as experienced as yourself. I absolutely appreciate everything that you said!
As far as the golden gel gloss being the cell maker…I’m not sure but I actually think it has more to do with paint densities than anything else. I think that blowout just had more dense paints blown over the top than the other two. I could be completely wrong but that is my opinion. Thanks for the question! That was a good one! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
💜 Awww thank you for the shoutout 💜
Omg I burst out laughing (because I recognized myself) when I saw you 1) sprayed it on your face 2) spilled it on the pee pad.
I can only imagine the state of the room if we were doing this together in the same room 😂
Omg the results are STUNNING!!! Wow!! Thank you for sharing your methods. It’s extremely generous of you 💜
Have you tried them in a pearl pour yet
You are very welcome! Thanks for sharing! Also..yes I’m a total klutz! 🤣🙏🏻☺️❤️
No not yet! I’ve been resining my brains out! 🤦🏻♀️🤣
They all turned out beautifully! What do you think caused the extra cells in the Golden gel gloss piece?
Thanks Diane. It was the titanium white that was blown over the colors. It had the most titanium white in it and it sank and the other colors rose to the top. The reason I can say this with confidence is at the end when I show you the dried results…the one I did off camera was with the golden gloss medium and it didn’t have nearly as many cells as the one I did on camera. That’s one of the reasons I love using the Amsterdam titanium white on top…it always creates beautiful cells and lacing. 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Hello Tara, You are such a sweet person. Ok my friend I just got my GAC 100 today and I've mixed my pigments. But my question is do I mix my colors with gel also. Or just the GAC800 and flotroel. I thank you so much Tara for your help.
Hello Ronda. So you only mix your pigments with the gac 100 and gel medium & then pouring medium. You mix your tube and fluid paints just directly with the pouring medium- no gac100 or gel medium. Hope this helps! ☺️🙏🏻❤️
Lovely! Curious tho it looks like a lot of volume of the pigment paints was added of each such that it was necessary to blow more thus losing the definitions of each color… could be one element in why you’re “ losing “ a color? Txz jeanne
Thank you Jeanne! I’m not exactly sure what you are meaning but b4 I mixed my pigments this way the pigments would sink and disappear. No longer though once I mixed them this way. 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Very beautiful. I would like to know for each canvas if you used the same premium medium for all colors, if will be possible.
Thank you so much. Yes same pouring medium for all colors. The only thing that changed was the gel medium I used to mix the pigments with. They all performed the same so any is possible.
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry thanks for your answer
You are very welcome! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Hello again Tara, I have two really big paintings that were ruined from using Erica's recipe. It's like there is sand on them from where the pigments didn't dissolve. So I'm trying it your way tomorrow. I've just mixed the paints. These tiles of yours are gorgeous. I just love that look. I noticed Tara that there's a lot of paint left on the tiles and they dried so well. No cracking. Do you ever have any trouble with cracking? Thank you sweety
Hi Ronda! There may seem to be a lot of paint left but because the paints are so thin there really isn’t that much. I almost never have cracking due to the gac800 in my pouring medium. 🙏🏻☺️❤️
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry thank you so much honey
Hi Tara. I’m a newbie. Here’s a dumb question- can I use those recipes for the base pour too or do I have to get a special paint for the base? Thank you.
Hi Arleen! Never a dumb question! You use the same recipes for the base paint too. 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Hi Tara, I’ve been nervous about using Floetrol with the pigments, as I’m worried the pigments will lose their sparkle. Can you please resolve this for me? Also, is GAC100, now replacing GAC800? Thanks Tara, I appreciate you making this video ♥️🙏💐💐💐💐
Hi Mel! So floetrol will initially dull the pigments in the cup when you are mixing but it dries pretty clear and they dry with sparkle. If you are worried about that I would use the Liquitex pouring medium in place of the pouring medium of floetrol and gac800 mix that I use. You will just have to thin the mixture down a little bit with water if you want to do a Dutch pour. As to the GAC 100, I only use the GAC100 to wet my pigments to disperse them and melt them. It does not replace the GAC800 which is a different product. On goldens website they describes GAC100 as “ a thin, translucent, gloss medium. Useful for thinning or extending colors as well as increasing flexibility. Wets out solids more readily than other polymers and is useful for creating homemade paints.” Hope this is helpful!
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry thank you Tara, I sincerely appreciate your answering my questions. Please excuse my ignorance, however, I was intending to, on my first comment, to advise you, to take some time, especially after the FAE, to be kind to yourself and give yourself some tender care and love. After all, you put a lot of your time and energy into each class and every student. So your energy will be depleted. Spoil yourself, you’ve earned it. With love and blessings ♥️🙏💐💐💐
Thanks Mel! I have done nothing but sleep and take care of myself for 10 days. It’s been wonderful… not that being sick is wonderful, but it did make me take the time to take care of myself. Thanks for your sweet concern! ❤️
Great tutorial! What colors did you use on those pieces ? Thank you 🙏
Thanks Susan! I list all my colors in the video as well as the description box. ❤️☺️🙏🏻
Sorry I missed that ! Thank you love those colors !💗
@@susanwilayto8833 No worries! ❤️☺️🙏🏻
189 like,best wishes;-)
Thank you! ☺️
So to be clear you add pigments then gac 100, then gloss, then GAC 800? No water. Right? Thanks so very much!
Hi Christine…so after I make the paint with the pigment, gac 100 and gloss gel THEN I add my pouring medium of 50% Floetrol/50% GAC 800. After mixing that I check consistency and if it needs to be even thinner I add in GAC 800 to thin and maybe a couple drops of water. Hope this is clearer. 🙏🏻☺️❤️
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry This is so helpful! Thanks for doing the hard work of figuring it out for us. I have tons of Colour arte and tlp pigments I would love to use in other styles of fluid art. Thank you!
Oh yes! I’m sure you are going to love this recipe. It works for colourart as well! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
What do you use now that GAC800 is no longer available .?
Hi Mari…I’m not sure I know what you mean. I just bought 3 gallons of GAC 800. It is still available in the US. ☺️
I can still get GAC 800
whats the difference between Gac 100 and 800? TU
Hi Adeline! They are different polymers used for different applications. The GAC 100 is described as “GAC 100 is a thin, translucent, gloss medium. Useful for thinning or extending colors as well as increasing flexibility. Wets out solids more readily than other polymers and is useful for creating homemade paints.” Whereas, GAC800 is more of a pouring medium. Here is how goldens website describes it: “GAC 800 is a low-crazing extender for pouring acrylic colors. "Crazing" is the formation crevices in surfaces that develop as acrylic paints and mediums dry. The addition of GAC 800 promotes drying with a smooth, even film, good gloss and flexibility, but with moderate clarity.” If you got to Goldens website you will see that they have GAC 100-900 and they are all used for different techniques and purposes.
