(334) ACRYLIC POURING - Dutch Pour Using Artist's Loft Paints and Water as Medium BEGINNER TUTORIAL

I decided to try a Dutch pour with water only as a medium as several big channel artists do, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Colors used and exact ratios listed below, as always.

The metalics are gorgeous on the black base! Blowing out the edges a bit more really made this piece blossom. I absolutely love this, Chris! So nicely done, my friend! 💗

It is beautiful Chris, like your way of blowing it out and the composition is great. 🥰

Well done Chris it's so beautiful. Take care. 👏💙🌈

This painting is amazing and very elegant looking. I love all the metallics togethers. Also love the extra definitions for the edges vs the petal look. Another one I may have to try. Thank you for sharing. Oh, I must say I wore my Wearable Art of your design again yesterday and received so many compliments. ❤️

Love the colors!!! Makes it look super elegant and classy!!!

Hi Chris! This painting is absolutely perfect, I love the outcome of your composition! The wispy edges are so much nicer than the straight sided petals. I've always wondered what the four main metallics would look like together on black, and now I know it's so gorgeous (thank you), I am looking forward to trying it out. Keep smiling my lovely friend! 😀💜🐨🙋‍♀️😘🤗

I think it's very dramatic and very chic! I was thinking, mmm I like it as is, when you said you like it but its a little to simple for you. You are so good a pouring ribbons and making them interesting that I'm sure it's hard not to leave them "as is" a lot of times. This is going on my to do list😁. 😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love these colors together Chris!l Looks so elegant! 🥰 Hope you are doing well

[laurienye]

That is stunning, Chris, I'm not crazy over the colors. But I would love it in other colors.

I followed a link here after trying to find out if anyone else found that the Artist Loft Titanium White Soft Body Acrylic we’re having problems with it ? Yes ! there is absolutely something wrong with it, my colours disappear also, I kept thinking I must be doing something wrong and I also put down a fair bit of paint. It sinks as fast as you apply the blow dryer, turn to grab a paper towel, turn back and nearly all your paint has disappeared. Thank you Chris, and your painting is beautiful and I can see why you chose a black background the colours really stand out.

Hi Chris, beautiful painting, I have yet to try just paint and water, I'm afraid that the paint will go everywhere!

[jayelleart]

This is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing it dry.

I have a huge commission to do (triptych). If my first official commission and I’m nervous to use floetrol because I don’t know what will happen long term. My biggest concern is I don’t know if it will yellow or not. But I like the effects from floetrol. .

I will test with just water and see how that goes.

I tried to make this painting using the exact same paints twice and none of the colors came through. I don’t know what I’m doing incorrectly. The first time I thought maybe there was too much black paint for the background and I scraped it all off, then started again making sure that the base black coat was thinner. But the same thing happened my colors just disappeared.

[sharonluffey]

I love the colors! The metallic should just shine. Love the composition. I looked at the painting both ways and I like to one the sides either that way or facing the bottom. PS That dryer should NOT be getting hot like that! It’s dangerous! I don’t think you should be using it. No I’m no an electrician but i learned a lot by observing my husband who was an electrical Engineer and I think he would say the same thing. Please be careful!
