Epic Tile Dipping Technique Tutorial (Acrylic Pouring on Ceramic Tiles)

- Painting my first canvas was fun but wow, did I mix up a crazy amount of paint. Far, far too much. I hate to let anything go to waste so it was the perfect opportunity for a big dipping session. I thought I might get 3 or 4 tiles out of my big puddle of paint, but it ended up being so much more!

I appreciate that you don't let paint go waste and use it creatively. For an artist it's a sin to waste paints :-)
I usually try to use up as much as I can in some way or another. It's expensive!
Deby at Acrylic Pouring I agree.
Love the tiles. They just happen to be my favorite colors.
Me too. Anything blue makes me happy.
These would be beautiful to use as accent tiles in a backsplash in a bathroom or kitchen. They would obviously need to be sealed with something, resin maybe? These turned out SO beautiful Deby! Thank you for the inspiration. I didn't feel like painting today, but now I do! ☺
So happy to hear you are feeling inspired.
Wow! The next more beautiful than the last! I think you just need to accept that you are the queen of tiles (and probably of dipping, too, since I've never seen anyone get that many dips that still looked good).
Hahaha thank you. There was a LOT of paint there left from my previous crazy over-mixing so I had a good chance of keeping it in good shape for a while. But I agree, you usually can't dip much before it goes all one color.
This was fun! Excellent use of overspill. So pretty. Thanks for sharing.
That was a lot of spill today! And a lot of chatting...
Wow! Wouldn't those make a great backsplash for a bathroom or kitchen. Beautiful. I love dipping too.
If you want to make a matching set it seems a good way to get a lot of tiles with matching colors.
They turned out very nice and blue is my favorite color. I turned in my first order and I love your idea and love the shopping.
Thanks so much Charlotte, really very much appreciated.
They look oceanic and would be beautiful on a wall or back splash absolutely beautiful.
Think this is my favourite video so far. Love the combination of colours. I can't swipe to save my life so I think dipping is the way to go.....
It works like magic and I do it all the time to use up my spilled paint. Not usually this much!
waste not-want not, is right❣ Beaitiful, Deby💞
Completely!
Lovely! I can't believe how many tiles you got covered. So much paint! LOL
Well done!
It was all down to that crazy project I posted yesterday that had about enough paint to do the entire house!
Fantastic work. I love all the results!
Thanks so much :-) I very much appreciate you watching and commenting.
Hi Deby! I love dippings. The effekts are so beautyful. If the color is placed like done whith swipes in dots or stripes you get a very good control on where the colors show up. I love to do that. The tiles would really look great in a bathroom. Greetings from Germany
Absolutely. No reason it only has to be the spilled paints.
Lovely deby. What can u use to seal and make shiny - and what is on your table, ie what did you pour onto - is it a plastic sheet? Thanks for sharing.
Love seeing you use up your extra paint! Wonderful for making gifts. :)
Thanks so much :-) I very much appreciate you watching and commenting.
This was so much fun to watch! It was amazing how all the tiles were beautiful. I thought surely there would be a dud or two Thanks for taking us along on your journey!
If you keep on going and going eventually the paint does mix up and it becomes a bit sorry looking, but most of these were keepers.
These are soo beautiful!!!
Thank you so much :-)
I loooooove these!
You have enough there to tile a bathroom. Those are quite pretty & remind me of the ocean.
That really was a ton of paint. What's left on your desk will make a pretty skin too.
I'm going to use them for testing various finishes. I need to find a good alternative to resin for making coasters.
Good idea. I would like to make some to use for that too.
they are all absolutely lovely!
And so are you, thank you
So beautiful! These would make a lovely top on a table.
What a great idea Helen!
This is awesome Deby. Love your tiles!!
Thanks so much :-) I very much appreciate you watching and commenting.
Wow that's awesome thanks so much
Glad you enjoyed it,.
well done they are beautiful,
Thank you Agnes
I am so inspired!
Perfect! That's exactly what I hope my videos do for people.
Amazing! ❤️👍
Thanks so much :-) I very much appreciate you watching and commenting.
I love the dipping too! I did several today :)
Easiest way to use up all those spills
We will have to call you Dippy Deby now :) They look excellent. I will have a go at Deby Dipping tomorow.....
Hahaha, I've been called a lot worse!
Beautiful Deby!! just a little hint, it using the tiles to put a glass on that might have a liquid in it, you might not want to use a waterbase gloss. it will create a white circle from the glass.
Thanks for that tip. I'm still looking for the ideal sealing solution that isn't so expensive as resin. More experiments to come on that!
Deby at Acrylic Pouring suggestion: high gloss water base poly on tile or canvas. I use the high gloss on tile and matte finish on my canvas (no glare). comes in a can. I'll put a pic on your acrylic pouring site.
Jaime Wilson I have tried that and it works great, but there is a little yellow in the minwax. If you don't mind that, then it is worth it.
Those really turned out nice. What do you seal the tiles with to make them waterproof ( I don't like to use resin). Thanks for sharing with us.
Love this idea! I have a bunch of plain bisque colored tiles that I've been waiting for something inspirational to do with them. I'm thinking of doing black, gray, metallic silver, and white. Then use as a single row backsplash over the bathroom sink. I'm going to guess that I'll need 2-3 coats of Polycrilic for it? Thanks for the video!
Ooh I don't know. In a damp environment or where it will be cleaned regularly, I think you would need a heavier duty sealer that could stand up to that sort of thing. I don't think the Poly would be enough because its water based.
Beautiful. I do hope to see the next video and find out what to put on the surface to seal them for use a coasters.
I do have a question. Is the addition of oil to Liquitex pouring medium necessary o get the cells?
Thanks Janet. No the addition isn't absolutely necessary. You can create cells using paint densities alone, or by the way the paint is accelerated over the canvas, and there are several painters who use this technique. Check our MelyD who doesn't use any silicone. But most people find it much easier to get cells by adding one oil or another.
Wow! Just love the tiles, do you sand them a bit first? I've had paints come off the shiny coating.
No I don't sand but I do sometimes add a coat of gesso. Most of my tiles start out as practice or test pieces so I usually don't bother because they aren't intended to be kept.
What all would I need for project
Really enjoying your work with tiles, however I am curious as to the ‘recipe’ you use to make up your pour. In one of your videos you mentioned silicone. I am a beginner and would like to use tiles, however in your ‘dip’ video the paint looks thicker than I’ve seen recommended for canvas. I would appreciate any guidance.😊
Love them all. Will u pour resin over them ?
Sadly not, I can't afford to work with resin, but I will be using them in future to test lots of other types of finishes and sealers.
Will they work as coasters with varnish? I have never worked with resin and don't know the cost. Again I love them. Thanks for your quick answer.
Not with all of the products and sealers I have tried so far. Hot mugs so stick to them. I've got a few more to test yet, so stay tuned and I'll report on all my findings.
these are really beautiful..will you use them as art or coasters...
Most of these are going to be used for testing. I want to try out a lot of new sprays, finishes and varnishes so they will be ideal for side by side testing.
Apart from coasters what other ways do you use your tiles? Incidently they are beautiful.
I use them as little mini art works and display them on easels. You can see what they look like here - tidd.ly/770e895d
I want to run in and pour paint all over my kitchen island!!! Deby, how long does it take for one of these dipped tiles to dry and what do you seal them with?
I usually leave them 7-10 days before I varnish. Here's a link to what I usually use on my paintings to seal them, but its only for use as artwork. If you wanted to use them for hot drinks or in the kitchen etc, you would ideally need to seal with resin.

i loved watching this video and will surely try to do this. is the paint scrachproof when cured? i have tried acrylic on glass once, but it could easely be scratched off :-(
I always coat with 3 layers of varnish after they've dried and haven't had any problems so far. But these are just for testing out new finishes and varnishes and I'll report back on that later on.
Thank you very much. I will wait for your answer later :-)
thank you for the session I will be giving it a try, do you think the paint may chip on tiles I think they would look good on my table
I've been using 3 coats of varnish and they are great to use art mini artworks but I've yet to find the perfect sealer to use them as functional coasters or trivets because of the heat. Still working on it! I'll be using most of these for my future product testing.
Thanks Deby If I find a perm sealer I will let you know sealer xx
I tried a couple of tiles because I see you love to work with them. They didn't turn out so how do you remove the paint. I could just throw them out - they were under $1 each but I thought I would just re-use
If the paint is now dried you can soften it and peel it right off by rewetting. Next time you do a pour, scoop up all that spilled and left over paint and brush it thickly over the paint on the tile you want to remove. Leave it a few minutes and the old paint softens. Once you start it off on one corner, you can usually pull off all the old paint in one of two pieces. Its a bit messy but it works.
I noticed you stopped gessoing the tile and painting the sides black. Do you find you don't need to do that?
For my testing and practice peices, I really don't bother with the gesso - plus I'm too impatient!. These are going to be used in future testing and experiments, I don't remember ever painting the sides black though so perhaps that was someone else.
