I just wanted to say, I have been painting for several years now and have wasted a ton of $$ on paint products! You are the ONLY one that mentions anything about the binders and amount of water to use and I wanted to thank you for this! This is a game changer for me and will save me tons!
Love the idea of paint and water. This Ditch Pour turned out beautifully. The colours are gorgeous 💕💕 Like the way you blew it out and added your embellishments 😊
Wow. Stunning and I so grateful to come across your site. Subscribed 😊. QUESTION: I’m new to this acrylic pouring and recipe ratios so when you say you used 60:40 …are you saying you 60% paint to 40% water?? And how come yo got such beautiful cells without using a cell activator like silicone oil? Lastly, what was the ratio recipe for the base mixture before you applied the colors? Thanks a lot in advance if you don’t mind sharing 😊
Thank you! Yes 60% paint 40% water. Using metallic paint helps to get cells, it likes to rise to the surface. I use paint density, so I blow the white (heavier) over the metallic (lighter) and it forms cells. The base is the same 60:40 paint to water. Thank you for watching 😊
da cred că și chiar așa e ,în sfârșit am găsit pe cineva care să-mi semene în felul de gândire și interpretare a artei--picturii superb love it , culori superbe un amestec reușit compoziție excelentă frumos la mijlocul prezentării , pictura prezența o floare , respectiv un iris ❤️💖🥰 am să vă urmăresc în continuare și am să și învăț ; eu pictez mai mult clasic și abstract această tehnică nu am avut încă posibilitatea , dar nu mă las pupici
Thank you Clare, yes absolutely! If you’re using a good quality paint then just adding water is fine. If you’re using a lower quality or a craft paint just add a little pouring medium 🤗
Beautiful. I've tried and tried and can never get the cells. I don't have a blow torch. Does the blow torch activate the cells? Maybe the paint is not thin enough. I have a score of attempted failures. Guess I'll just keep watching and trying.
Thank you Selma! I’m using a Revlon 1875W blow dryer with an air concentrator attachment that I bought on Amazon. I’ll try to find the attachment and put a link for it in the description ☺️
Thank you! For most of my paintings I use Amsterdam standard paint for the colors and Pebeo for the metallics. The base is Amsterdam titanium white and there is about 55-60% paint, the rest water 😊
Hi! The 60/40 is just a rough estimate and a starting place. Each paint will be slightly different based on brand and even colors within the same brand. My Pebeo was pretty close to 60/40 but if you’re finding it’s too thin then definitely just add less water and try to match the consistency to your Amsterdam paints. 🤗
I’m using Amsterdam colors and Pebeo metallics..they both create beautiful cells. What kind of paint are you using? It’s ok to use floetrol or other pouring mediums to help get cells too.
@@LaurenMichelleArt thanks for answering Lauren....I am a traditional painter and I wanted to try this tecnique....I bought my paints at the local artshop where I found a french company making paints for pouring art but out of silicone and so I tried to do without while I wait for the new stock to arrive...I am in Italy and fluid art is not very.common....I guess the brand Amsterdam is the one I should buy but I do not like to buy anything from Amazon as it killed the business for our local shops 🤥
Das sieht sehr schön aus 🤩und wenn es trocken ist wird die Farbe nicht reißen? Da ist doch kein Binder drin 🤔 und hast du im Untergrund Farbe auch nur Wasser 😳
Thank you Sylwia! No cracking, Amsterdam and Pebeo hold up pretty well with just water. If you’re using a lower quality or craft paint then you’ll definitely need a binder 🤗
mY NAME IS HINDI I USE MY HUSBANDS NAME HERE YOUR WORK IS OUTSTANDING QUESTION DO I POUR THE WATER IB THE CUT I CAN I BALL IT RIGHT ?YOUR WORK IS HELPING ME GET THROUGH MY SERGERY DONT HAVE A KITCHEN SCALE AND IF I DID HOW WOULD DO THAT(IN THE CUP?)
Thank you, I’m happy it’s been helpful for you! Yes it’s fine to eyeball it, it doesn’t have to be perfect, and you don’t have to use a scale. If you had a scale, you would put the cup on the scale, then zero it out (so you don’t see the weight of the cup) and then add the paint / pouring medium / water. I think sometimes eyeballing is better since different brands of paint and even different colors in the same brand can require different amounts of water. Just make all your colors the same consistency so they all flow evenly at the same rate. 🤗
Pretty Lauren!! Like the cells, with only water!! Thanks for sharing this one!! Have a great day Lauren!! 😊💖
Thank you so much Judy! Have a great day! 🤗❤️

Thank you for your kind words. I’m happy you like my paintings. Yes you should definitely try this wonderful technique! 🤗
Beautiful work!
Thank you so much 😊
C'est super
This is so lovely.💖Do you think this could be possible using other paints? 🤔
Thank you Clare, yes absolutely! If you’re using a good quality paint then just adding water is fine. If you’re using a lower quality or a craft paint just add a little pouring medium 🤗
Thanks a bunch!😎
Lindo 😍

Q obra de arte !!! El soplete para q se utiliza, y el vertido q hablas en otros vídeo que es ? Gracias
Thank you 😊 it’s used to pop the air bubbles that get trapped in the paint. I’m sorry I’m not sure what you mean by discharge?
Beautiful. Do you use a special blower- mine doesn’t seem to blow wide. I think my tip is too round.
Thank you Selma! I’m using a Revlon 1875W blow dryer with an air concentrator attachment that I bought on Amazon. I’ll try to find the attachment and put a link for it in the description ☺️
@@LaurenMichelleArt thank you!!
Ok I added the link, it’s in the affiliate section. They don’t fit all dryers, I just taped mine on 🤗
love your work. I'm new and having problems with my base paint. What brand do you use and how thin do you mix it?
Thank you! For most of my paintings I use Amsterdam standard paint for the colors and Pebeo for the metallics. The base is Amsterdam titanium white and there is about 55-60% paint, the rest water 😊
Can you varnish it with resin since the painting has water in it?
Thank you!
I’m not sure I’ve never used resin sorry! I would ask one of the creators who do resin finish 😊
Pebeo is so thin how did you manage to use the same water amount for am
Amsterdam and Pebeo is that and error in your description?

How did you get the cells? I use paint and water only but I never get any 😣

I buy my Amsterdam paint online from Jackson Art Supplies 😊
@@LaurenMichelleArt thank you I will check it out 😉
I would like to ask, what is your base paint?
It’s Amsterdam titanium white mixed with water 😊

HOW MUCH WATERTO i ADD IN THE CUP
I use about 60% paint 40% water and measure it out using a kitchen scale.

AND DO I PUT THE HAIR DRYER ON COOL
I use warm or cool air and blow on low holding the blow dryer at an angle.
