I normally paint it first like an undercoat then I do the pouring it comes out nicer and thank you for the tip on using photo paper to catch the left overs so now I can do something else with it. Thank You sweetie and your stones came out beautiful.😊
Thanks for showing us exactly how you mix your paint because people tell us all different things and it’s just nice to see it with my own eyes exactly what I need to buy and mix and then how to do it. Thank you so much like someone said you have explain this technique so well! Have a great day
Hi, thank you for this. You are a very good teacher. I have a tip for you in return. Instead of the expensive paper, use a silicone mat so you can peal off the residue paint once it's dry. You can also pick up the mat and manhandle it so the paint spreads out more evenly. After washing the rock to remove the oil residue and any oils from fingers, mix up some resin and smooth over the rock for a beautiful shine. Rachel's Rocks teaches how. 😊
@@erikasturquoisefeather4721 Hi Rachel, thank you for your feedback. This video tutorial is 4 years old now and I have evolved since then. I use a silicone mat and use all the drips to make jewellery or resuse in other pours, also cover the rocks with resin which is much better. 🥰
Thank you for turning the camera and showing a side view. Quite a unique way on saving paint. Had no idea about the glue🙄.. thank you for your list in the description. Looking forward to trying this. " hunks of the earth are only rocks til we place them. Then they become a stone" yours are beautiful. Thank you again for sharing..🖌️🪣happy pouring😉🇺🇲
Hi Stacey, thank you for your comment. Great questions! I will answer them as it works for me, this may not be true for all. The answers are quite technical so I will keep it simple. I use glue as a pouring medium to extend, bind and increase the flow of the paint which dries clear with no residue. You can buy pouring medium but they can be expensive. I use the oil to create cells, or small bubbles, in the paint. The cells are created because oil and water do not mix When you torch the heat breaks the surface of the paint and allows other colours to rise. This creates real magic into your art as you get to see the amazing cells break and patterns occur. The bubbles really to have to be torched out because they can create defects and holes in your art when it dries. Hope this helps. 😃
Hello Bridget, this is an amazing Acrylic pouring lesson, I had no idea how to do this, and you have explained this technique so well. I cannot wait to try this myself. Thank you.
I would recommend that you paint one of the "paint pour" colors on the entire bottom of the rock and let it dry ... before you do the actual pour. That way the underside of the rock will not look "unfinished" (as you showed your two samples). Just a suggestion.😊
Great idea. You could paint bottom white. Let dry. When the whole thing is done you could sign the bottom and write a short inspirational message or whatever..... :-)
Wonderful idea! I hate to waste paint as well and collect my drippings, often the designs are more interesting and way cooler than the paintings because they are mixed up more and the combinations are endless. I made coasters and magnets. Thanks for sharing : )
Thank you so much for your comment about my work. Silicone oil is a greasy, non-drying oil-like substance. I add a drop or so to my paints after mixing and preparing. Once the paints are combined and poured onto the platform, the silicone rises to the surface creating circular holes (called cells) revealing the layers underneath. Silicone oil is mainly used for lubricating equipment such as treadmills in the gym. You can also use coconut hair serum/oil but it must contain the special ingredient of Dimethicone. I use both the hair oil (which tends to make bigger cells) you can buy from you local pharmacy and Pebeo Silcone Oil (which makes smaller cells) which you can get from your local craft shop or Amazon. I hope this answers your question. 😀
Hi Bridget! I'm clearly late to this fun ad amazing party, but so happy I found you!! I can't wait to start! I'm sorry I may have missed this, but do you add the PVA glue to the white paint too? I know you said you don't put the oil in the white paint but wasn't sure if I needed to add the glue? Your work is truly beautiful and amazing, thank you so much for sharing. I've subscribed!! Yay!!
Hi Anne, sorry I missed your comment. Yes I do add the glue to the white paint but no oil to the white as instructed. Have fun and thank you for your comments and subscribing to my channel. 🥰
Hi Susan, thank you for your comment. You can buy sticky back felt in all different colours. I cut a small piece to fit the back of the pebble, peel off the backing and stick it on. It’s great and finishes off the pebble nicely. 😊
Hi Karen, thank you for your comments. You do not have to torch. The reason for torching is to release any air bubbles in the paint and also it creates the wonderful cell patterns. My preference is to torch as I love the effect it creates when the cells appear. Hope this helps you. 😊
Hi Stacey, I bought the stones from a local builders merchant in Cornwall. They came in a big sack. It was full of different sized pebbles that had been sourced from Scotland I think! Some of them were a bit too small, so I put them back on our local beach. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. 😀
Hi Carol, I get the stones from our local builders merchants here in Cornwall, UK. They come in a big bag which is heavy! They are all different sizes so some may be too small to use so I put them on the beach. I hope that helps you and you can find a source. 😊
Hi Doug, a great question! The glue acts as a pouring medium to help the paint flow correctly with the right consistency. It thickens up the acrylic paint so that when the cells are formed they retain their shape whilst moving and drying. I hope this makes sense. Bridget 😀
@@bridgetwinterbourne not sure what my comment was, sorry. But maybe it was that you can fin rocks anywhere. I always bring a bag and my friends do this for me also. And keep looking malls, parking lots, parks beaches lakes any where
Really appreciate all the info you shared. What a shame there was an annoying banging of a cupboard or door in the background! It was very distracting. Sad after all your preparation.
Hi Annie, thank you for your message. I watched the tutorial and I could not hear any banging noise in the background. That’s very mysterious! I wonder why you could hear it? Many thanks Bridget 😀
I only found your video today. Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I can’t wait to try out this technique. Thank you for sharing.
Me too! Found, enjoyed & can't wait to give it a go! Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
I think this is the first paint pouring video I have watched that is straightforward enough to convince me to try paint pouring. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. 😃
Wonderful thank you can’t wait to try
Absolutely gorgeous.👏🏽
Thank you 😊
❤ I love this and the fact that no waste brilliant ❤
Thank you 🙏
What a great craft !!! Thanks for making the video and explaining each step . . . I'm definitely trying it !

@@bridgetwinterbourne ...You’re welcome.a
Try a silicone mat instead of the paper! @goldenstar9379
Thank you! I have been searching how does the underside of the rock could be finished. Your video helped me very much.

Agreed. Seeing it myself really does help.

That's the biggest pebble I've ever seen!!! 🤯
Loving this tutorial, thank you. I love listening to you talk because you remind me so much of the late Emma Chambers 🥰😘
Thank you Yvonne, I used to think my accent was awful. But it a has gentle tone and does sound like Emma, I do agree! She was fabulous. 😊
I love your art and thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks!!!!
Thank you for your comments ❤
Hello! Amazing art. I have a couple Q’s…. Why do we use the glue? And why do we use the oil? And what if we don’t torch it? Bubbles won’t pop?

Thank you Claire 😊 it’s great to have feedback.
beautiful!
Thank you Susan 🙏
fantastic ideas and video :)
Thank you 🙏
So glad you did stone I thought of doing them myself and have got some ready for pouring. Thanks for the information. Your colours are great
Thank you Barbara, good luck with your pebble pour. 😊
Great idea , especially for left over paint. You chose great colours . Beautiful
Thank you Maria, appreciate your comment.
Love your video Bridget, its so simple and clear and so happy to find a fellow UK artist! I'm in South Wales 🥰👋🧡
Hi, we are on a trip to South West Wales, staying outside Pembroke. So beautiful here, thank you for your comment xx
Beautiful very nice work sweetie.
Thank you 😊

Thank you that’s a great idea. I will do that👏😊
Great idea. Thanks
Love this idea. I hate an unfinished rock. Couldn’t figure out how to this. Thanks for the info
Lovely good job
Great idea. You could paint bottom white. Let dry. When the whole thing is done you could sign the bottom and write a short inspirational message or whatever..... :-)

They are so cool. 👍

Will this work in climates with temps below freezing (F). ?
Just wondering what is the purpose of the glue?
They are lovely. How do you finish the back where it is bare?
Hi Susan, thank you for your comment. You can buy sticky back felt in all different colours. I cut a small piece to fit the back of the pebble, peel off the backing and stick it on. It’s great and finishes off the pebble nicely. 😊
Can I use another glue I’m in the US
What is the purpose of the silicone oil ?
What does the silicone oil do you put in please x
Please explain the purpose of the torch and is it absolutely needed? Beautiful idea and am excited to try it.
Hi Karen, thank you for your comments. You do not have to torch. The reason for torching is to release any air bubbles in the paint and also it creates the wonderful cell patterns. My preference is to torch as I love the effect it creates when the cells appear. Hope this helps you. 😊
You can use silicone oil in dropper to form cells.
Fabulous
Thank you 😊
Was this white transparent, semi, or opaque. This set of pebbles are gorgeous!
Hiya, the white is opaque. Amsterdam acrylic paint titanium white no. 105. Hope this helps. 😀
@@bridgetwinterbourne Thank you!
Great for paper weights
@@dianemosher3213 I do use them to hold the pages back on a book whilst reading 😊
Do you clean off the silicone before applying the varnish?
Hi Mylene, it’s probably a good idea to gently wipe the stones with a baby wipe to remove any excess oil. Thank you for your comment 😊
I rather liked seeing the true colour of the pebble, shows its ho.e made
Thank you 🙏
I love this, where can I find the stones?
Hi Stacey, I bought the stones from a local builders merchant in Cornwall. They came in a big sack. It was full of different sized pebbles that had been sourced from Scotland I think! Some of them were a bit too small, so I put them back on our local beach. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. 😀
Lowes..etc
Where did you get the stones from? You mentioned that you can get them in bags?
Hi Carol, I get the stones from our local builders merchants here in Cornwall, UK. They come in a big bag which is heavy! They are all different sizes so some may be too small to use so I put them on the beach. I hope that helps you and you can find a source. 😊
Try a tree-ring pour…
Could you clear resin coat rock?
Hi Amber, yes you can clear resin coat the rocks. I am going to put a video together to show how to do this. 😀

What does the glue do ?
Hi Doug, a great question! The glue acts as a pouring medium to help the paint flow correctly with the right consistency. It thickens up the acrylic paint so that when the cells are formed they retain their shape whilst moving and drying. I hope this makes sense. Bridget 😀
Thanks
is glue the same as a MEDIUM???
Yes the glue is the same as a pouring medium. 😊

I watched the entire video and there was no noise whatsoever 🤷♀️
spray varnish...why? It's bad for the ecosystem! Use a brush and paint the varnish on, it's better!!!
Thank you Paul, I have switched to a gloss varnish that I brush on. You are right it is better. 😃
