A Dutch Pour With Just Paint And Water!

Happy new year! This January, I’m kicking off the year with 31 paintings - one per day for the whole month!

This series is an opportunity to demonstrate many of the incredible techniques you can use in fluid art - great for beginners and experienced painters alike.

Today I’m doing a “Dutch Pour,” following the traditional recipe of just paint and water! For this version, it’s important to use artist-quality paint instead of craft paint, and your mixture will be thinner than if you were using floetrol as well. Mix your paint up to 24 hours in advance to minimize air bubbles!

My colors are
“Caribbean” (Blick studio acrylics Bright Aqua Green with Amsterdam white)
Dark Navy (Blick studio acrylics Phthalo Blue with Amsterdam black)
Metallic Teal (Blick Studio Acrylics)
Metallic Blue (Sargent)
Titanium White (Amsterdam)

Anna, I completely got lost in transfixed without commenting or thumbs ups I am so sorry but I watched each and everyone through to the end I see where you're going with this you are an artist you should be a teacher but the best thing is is that you're experimenting at your own expense and I thank you for that I really thank you for that it is totally interesting how you used a high and paint versus one mix with Floetroll just amazing, amazing work thank you again Anna who would've thunk it

Nice pieces! I still have difficulty with Dutch Pours, not consistency-wise, but in knowing how much paint to use, especially on a larger canvas.

Beautiful! Now I know what those little white dots on my canvas are. Could not figure it out. I just got a torch so hopefully I won’t have so many bubbles .
