72] NEW TECHNIQUE Test for Acrylic Pouring THROUGH a Notched Cup - DecoArt Americana

In this video I make my first attempt at pouring through a “tool” of my design... a cup with customized notches for the paint to flow... similar to a bottle bottom pour but without the bottle. Interesting results... very encouraging!

-=- PAINT MIXING

- I mix my paint 1 part paint to 3 parts pouring medium.
I tend to eyeball amounts because I’ve come to realize that having the same consistency/thickness, for each of your mixed paints, is more important than the ratios of medium to paint.
ALL of my paints (all the pouring colors as well as whatever negative space color I might use) are mixed to the same consistency using the formula above and adding tiny bits of water as, and if, needed.

- When adding water, the goal is to get my paint to the consistency of warm honey. The amount of water will depend on the type of acrylic paint ... Flow acrylic (runny like syrup) will need very little water if any, while medium to heavy body paint (thick like toothpaste) will need more. Try to limit the amount of water that you use ... too much will break down the binding properties of the acrylic paint. How much is too much? Try to keep the amount of water to under 25% of the amount of paint if you can.

———————————————
-=- SEALING

Once my paintings dry, I spray them with a low odor, user-friendly, crystal clear, museum-quality varnish designed for acrylics, oils and watercolors. It gives a glossy finish.

This was done on a 10 x 10 inch canvas.

Thank you in advance for watching the videos, sharing them, commenting and leaving a thumbs up. Your kindness helps my channel continue and it is all greatly appreciated! May the alcohol inks, resin, and paints be kind, and may the pours be with you. 😊💕

I love this. The spirals are amazing. Love your ideal. The whole piece is amazing! I hope to get these colors on next trip out! It’s nice to know they don’t make mud! :) I’m so happy to be on your Patreon list! Go Myriam! I so enjoy seeing your tutorials. The whole time I’m talking to you. You can’t hear me and sometimes I’m laughing so hard I can’t see you
true tears of joy! Wooowooo

I really love the way the paint on the edge broke up and spread showing white space. Very cosmic and organic looking!

[susandavenport]

Yes! Keep experimenting and playing with paint! We all have so much fun along the way and learn something new and helpful too, a win win!!
It is funky in such a pretty way and I like what the metallics are doing!

[pameladake]

More, please! I think I speak for every “pouring addict” when I say thanks for your cheery commentary and willingness to let us in on your explorations. You’re probably saving lots of people time and $$. And....it’s really beautiful, to boot! Bonus!!!

[irenenelson]

You are so fun to listen to and watch. The piece is beautiful and I love what the metallic is doing! Can’t wait to see the end piece.

[destinysjourney]

I love the colors. And the swirls. And the metallic edges. And the softness of the rings. There isn't anything about this project I don't love! You are a true artist and give me such inspiration! Your personality and laugh are just another plus!

[maxinehordle]

Well you did it again. I’m sat here at 2 in the morning watching your video laughing and trying not to wake my husband. Love your videos x

[Laura-gtpu]

This is amazing! I love how the metallic paint is reacting and also how you add your own details to make it more interesting! I have to say I'm impressed that you get the results you do without wasting more paint than you have on the canvas like most every other artist I've seen. Thanks for giving us a guide to know how much paint is needed without the waste.

[shallahharbaugh]

I love the technique and the soft metallic edge. Love all of your videos, please keep them coming.

[lexiwaters]

I love this! The colours are so ethereal and otherworldly.

[joannesarlo]

certainly is an interesting piece! I love the spirals... I feel it looks like an underwater creature of some sort (or creatures!) the colors are beautiful and whatever the metallic paints are doing adds to the mystery.... love to see more experiments with pouring!

[brigittemcguire]

Love the colors and spirals, the pour turned pour turned out amazing. Please do more.

[bethbenson]

You are so much fun to watch and your laugh is so much like my sister-in-law's that I feel like I know you! Love your color palette!

[mamamaynard]

I find this piece very interesting and I love whatever that metallic paint is doing. It brings an interesting texture to the piece. I've never done pouring, but I'm getting more and more interested in it, would love to see more of your experiments. Thanks for doing your videos, I totally love them.

[suefalls]

Love!!!! Love the way that blue breaks up, interesting!!!! Love color choice!!!

[aupony]

I just love your videos. I am a card maker so I play with ink more than paint but I get lots of inspiration from watching what you do. You do beautiful work and are fun to watch too. ❤️

[MsDiamond]

Love the spirals and jelly fish- can't believe your making us wait for the big reveal!

[robinscata]

[marylindsey]

I liked what the metallic was doing..it's fading off. Nothing wrong with playing in your paint!

[princecaspianofthesea]

I love this piece so much and I really appreciate the attention you gave. The progression was really great and as always entertaining! Please continue the refining this technique. I should also say this is honestly the first bottle pour I really enjoyed, honestly lol. I think it would be such an education for all of us to watch you work this out. Thanks Miriam
