(11) Dip on parchment paper with acrylic pour

I have such exciting news!! I am publishing an instructional book on paint pouring!

"The Art of Paint Pouring" by Amanda VanEver will be published on May 21, 2019. It is currently available through pre-order through Amazon and the publishers website:

It is available in the US, UK, Canada and Australia!

This is another method of the dip technique. I pour the paint onto a flat surface and then dip the canvas on top. It blends very well and gives the paint a different effect than just pouring. Colors used are VanDyke Brown, Burnt Sienna, Turquoise, Indigo and White. Brands used include Artist's Loft, Amsterdam Acrylics, Daler Rowney, and Jacquard Lumiere. I use water and Floetrol only in my paints. I do not measure it out to be extremely precise, but I would estimate about 1 to 1 on the Floetrol and paint and then just add water a little at a time until it is the consistency that I prefer.

If you have any questions or would like to see a color combo in this technique please let me know down below in the comments!

This hobby/pour painting is so forgiving. I'm glad you dipped the last one in the brown. Now it flows with the others.

What a relief to see someone getting more product from the paint Like the idea of a parchment working surface.
Thank you for sharing .

I LOVE that you did this creation over three panels!! And that you utilized the left over paint on another canvas!! I haven’t started with my pour painting ‘career’ but I will be starting out with smaller canvasses 5x7”. I had a stroke 20 years ago and have no use of my left arm/hand, so I will be coming up with alternative ways of doing things - and perhaps creating some pretty different effects along the way! If they work out, I may post them and perhaps other folks with handicaps will look at them and realize that they CAN create artistic things in spite of their handicap!

This came out much prettier than I ever imagined it would, fantastic .

Beautiful! The fact that it is NOT PERFECT, is the PERFECTION. I love the background music. Your work is inspiring! Going to pour a few colors, and enjoy. Thank you!

[lzeigler]

These turned out great, love the colors, I definitely think freezer paper would be great for this using shiny side, won’t go limp with the moisture.

[bobjons]

I love your work. You know when to quit and not over do it. Most times less means more. Beautiful works!

I came across this video by accident (searching woodturning videos) and found myself watching it through to the end. This is something new to me and was very pleasing to watch. To me, the finished results could be photographs from a Cassini flyby. Very beautiful.

I have just started recently watching the videos of this acrylic pour type of painting. I am hooked. As soon as I can I will start this as my second hobby. Photography is my first. I have found many ways change any photo into something else. I have been lucky enough to sale some of my work. This medium is super interesting I can spend hours watching and learning the different techniques. I almost ready to tackle this.

Thanks for showing us the colors and how to dip if one color doesn't get on the canvas. I love the brown and blue elegant

[LuzCanoPintodosSantos]

Thank you Amanda. Beautiful colors, nice From Portugal!

[bethkirley]

I love this technique, and that you get so much from a single pour. Will have to try this one too. My favourite colours.

[janlloyd]

That was really really neat. The forms would home my attention for hours. Well done.

[McDory]

What a great idea pouring on to parchment. Hadn’t thought on that, tried today doing a pour for the first time, not at all good but it hasn’t stopped me wanting to do it this way, instead of straight on to canvas. Thank you so much for this idea, 👍🏽 Scotland

[luciadias]

Melhor metodo quw ja vi. Ate hoje pratico. E da pra comtrolar as cores e nao gasta. Tanta tinta exlente esta de parabens. .

[loissurerus]

Very pretty. I use the plastic tablecloths from Walmart. Three in a pack and I just cut them down to the size I need. Works much better than parchment paper for me.

[marcieornelas]

Oh my word! I love it!! and the technique! I love watching the pours but don't like the paint waste.. and you did a lot of "themed" canvases, no waisted paint!! I have now been fulfilled! Haha thank you!
