What do you need for acrylic pouring/fluid painting?
In acrylic pouring or fluid painting, diluted acrylic paints are cast on the canvas using various techniques. This results in quite random results. Every picture is unique.
----------------
1. acrylic paint
----------------
You can use what you like here. Acrylic paints from brand companies usually have a thicker consistency and therefore lower consumption. Cheap brands are often thinner, you need a little more color. These are the bands I mainly use.
Look for what suits you and your wallet. Possibly. you have to adjust my Pouring recipe, which comes down below with your acrylic paint something.

---------------------
2. The Pouring Medium
---------------------
The only pouring medium I used was a 60/40 Glue & Floetrol mix with a bit of water.
The Pouring Medium ensures that the acrylic paint is fluid and pourable. There are now many varieties available. Liquitex is also a good option, even without silicone oil beautiful cells are possible.

--------
3. Water
--------
Only acrylic paint and casting medium is usually not enough, the colour must be made a little more liquid, but I use normal tap water. In the end, the ready-mixed colour should flow evenly off the stirring tool like warm liquid honey.
---------------
4. Final treatment
------------------
If the pictures have dried after about 3-5 days, the acrylic paint will not shine as well as when wet. To restore this shine, use the Pouring Medium. But you can also use a special gloss varnish to create even more shine.

Otherwise, you only need a canvas in its preferred size and a few cups to touch the colours.
----------------------
My acrylic pouring recipe
----------------------
1 part colour
1 part Pouring Medium
1/2 part of water
!!! Important, the canvas must first be primed with Acrylic Pouring Medium or paint otherwise, the edges absorb too much paint.
----------------------------------------
Cast acrylic - quantity calculation
How much colour is needed for his canvas?
----------------------------------------
Approximately 0.3 grams per square centimetre, this is the complete mixture meant. Suppose you have a canvas of 40 x 40 cm = 1600cm2. Calculation 1600 x 0.3 grams = 480 grams of the complete mixture so all colors, pouring medium and water added up.
For a 40x40 cm two-color image, the mix looks like this:
Rounded up to 500 grams so that no later color is missing:
100 g of colorful paint
100 g of fluid medium
50 g of water
100 g white color
100 g of fluid medium
50 g of water
On the bottles is usually a millilitre indication, you can take that in grams, 250 ml color is not exactly 250 g, but the difference does not matter.

This is simply... magnificent!!! With cracks!!! With no pasta crack painting!!! Youpi ! So no AC for drying. Thanks, Candice, you are the best! 😜😜😜
I’m doing my first acrylic pour tomorrow and I’m getting ideas this is so helpful thanks! 😊
I think these are beautiful in spite of the cracks. The colors are
Beautiful.
The cracks look kinda cool though. Especially with the color peeking through.
I agree. It gives the painting a little extra character!
Thank you for the tip! I did not know about the extreme temperatures and how it relates to cracking, so thank you again. He’s turned out beautiful! I think number two is my fave...💚
I love cracks, fill them with gold👍🏼
WOW. Tysm for all of the information in the description box! My sister in law (baby #2 in the fall!
That's AWESOME and thank you!
I actually like the cracked look❤
Ugh thank you sooo much! I have been wondering what I’ve been doing wrong to get those cracks. I thought it was the amount of paint or uneven flow. But temperature totally makes sense. Thank you so much!
Amazing and beautiful
Candice.....😥
My heart breaks for you. Those were beautiful pieces, but I know you're very talented and you can paint them again. Thank you for willing to show us the mistakes that can happen. Every artist talks about cracks and crazing and now I really know what they've all been talking about, unfortunately.
Still, all 3 pieces were a great tutorial!!!😊💗💗💗
Take care,
Lori 💙
Thank you so much!
Candice, thanks for sharing the dry results and explaining what happened and why.
You are so welcome!
Candice, what you've done with these paintings.... it's my life. Why do I do what I do when I know what the result will be like. And how I will feel disappointed when the next day comes and I wake up to my failure. But thank God Almighty for his grace, mercy and forgiveness poured over top of my repentance.
And still He's makes something beautiful of my life. 😭😢😑
Thank you, and there's such beauty in these paintings for me today. God Bless you Candice.
I think the cracks add something to the art. Maybe something spooky. I actually love it.
Thanks for sharing 👍 this bit but important information 👍
So beautiful! Thank you for documenting the cracking fiasco as well, such good knowledge to pass on and be aware of! (I often work in a hot room and I've notice it definitely affects drying times just while doing the pour!)
As unfortunate as the cracking was, I have to say, one of them was rather beautiful in itself, almost looked like it was part of the overall effect... makes one wonder if crackle paste could be utilized in paint pouring somehow, to get controlled cracks that flow with the paint...
Still beautiful pieces despite the cracks....lovely colours too...great work!
Would be nice if the steps include how to mix the paint.
Those cracks add something to the paintings and are beautiful. Idk. Maybe it's the noob in me but I like them. 🤷🏾♀️
Thank you for the paint cracking explanation. It’s happened to me. Ugh. Paintings are still beautiful. ❤️
I also love the cracks, happened a couple times to me, but I felt like it added interest to the piece 🎨❤️ my sis agreed!
Thank you for sharing this. The cracks are really interesting too. And now I know how to avoid such cracks should I want to avoid them. Keep up the good work!
There is a Japanese technique with pottery where are you glue it back together and paint over it with gold. I wonder what it would be like to paint over those cracks with gold leaf or a highly reflective gold paint. But it is really good to know that leaving your paintings and a warm or cold garage to dry will make some crack because I didn’t know that end it has saved me from having that happen, unless of course it’s something I intend to add to a painting :-) thanks for sharing. In spite of the cracks really pretty pours however
Now watch when I try to get the cracks, they won’t come😂 but I want them, specifically so I can run over them with a super metallic silver... ooh I can’t wait
Oh! I love Kitsugi! That's a wonderful idea! The next time a painting cracks, I'll see if it works to highlight the Crack!
But they are STILL beautiful. The cracks add character
With the cracks those are more beautiful 😍 love them!
Never seen anyone else do a cushion like yours, it is a wonderful idea for negative space.
I personally love how the cracking looked, I know cracking is bad but it really is pretty and adds character.
I wonder if the medium that causes cracking would work to make the rest of the paintings look intentionally cracked.
In AZ I am the queen of cracks. I'm now putting an cold pack next to the piece and covering with a box in the coolest room. Still if there is too much paint on the canvas...cracks.
Beautiful pours Candice!! And thank you so much for the tip, this happened to me on my last pour and I wasn’t sure why. It all makes perfect sense now since I too left my pour in a hot room to dry lol 🤦🏾. Thank you so much for sharing 😊💞💞
Sharing is caring!
These are terrific. Your explanations are wonderful. Thank you so much.
I'm going to follow your recipe and consistency of warm honey. I've just started to paint and upload and struggle with pours and dutch pours. This video has been very helpful 😈
I don't mind the cracking, still very pretty.
I really love this technique, bravo for your work
Marvelous 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
I like the cracking.
I got cracking when I accidentaly left my hair dryer on hot. It dried the outer paint too quickly, forming a film that cracked when the paint underneath dried and expanded.
At first I didn't like them, but after they dried they looked a lot different to me, even with the cracking, I think they came out very pretty! 😸
Uugh! Such pretty colors though! Thank you for the tip...never really thought about the temps in a room when drying! Thank you for that!
That and its never good to leave that much paint on your canvas or it will crack no matter what the temps are ... there was still A LOT of paint left on at least 2 of the canvases. I won't even use my paints unless they are at normal room temps ...too cold or too hot can both really mess with your paints . They were pretty colors together though. 1😥😥😥
I think because the paint was just too thick it cracked. My niece does pour paintings and does not really run onto the cracking. She let's it run and she uses an agent mixed in her pour that helps keep it a bit thinner so it stops the cracks. I also never saw the dryer process but I LOVE LOVE LOVE that technique! It turned out so beautiful especially the last one was my favorite!! Thank you for your time ♥️
I kind a like the cracking in it because it reminds me of a beautiful black lava rock to me it gives it texture to the painting.
The cracks are what make it so great in my opinion.
This was very helpful, thank you!
Thank you! All the info are valuable for a beginner,💚👍
I would have thought the cracking was on purpose because it’s so beautiful.
great tutorial 😊 thx for sharing!! 💕
Thank you for cracking info! So helpful! We have had heat wave in southern Vermont, and cracking cracking cracking drying in the garage ...Duuhhh, now I know why. Basement is better place, then, for drying now ... Basement was where I began pouring last winter ... Something to return to roots, eh? Thanks so much! I love love love watching your videos 😁💕💕💕🎶🐦🎶💎
Glad it was helpful!
Love them all
Two lovely pours Candice
Amazing. I love your channel. I’ve been learning a lot here! Thanks for posting! 😀🕊
Thank you for this. Been getting supplies to do this and this is a helpful, simple way to start. Much appreciated
You are so welcome!
Very cool. Thank you.
Nice! I love the colors! Great work.
I quite like the cracked look! :)
Wowwwww😍😍😍
What is the right temperatur i degrees celsius? I’m so fascinated with pouring acrylic, but have not yet learnt how to do it - so excuse my lack of knowledge please ❤️
Very nice!
What is a good formula for a single color base coat? Like the black one in this video.
The cracks are nice
Oh wow they look amazing 👏
Ah no, sorry that it cracked like that! And thank you for showing us.
Thank you for the tip.. I had cracking and now I do why. Is the cracking in warm temps more prevalent because of thinner paint where a thicker pour would do better in higher temps?
No it just the opposite. Extreme heat is a problem regardless of the paint density but if the paint is too thick it will often crack just for that reason alone (in my experience).
Got it. Thank you!
Would we not get the same results without using as much black? And could we get the same results with just black base coating? Ty God Bless
I love the cracking. I thought adding the black on top of all the other colors was counterproductive since the colors were hidden by the cracking allows those colors to show through.
Beautiful
I know you said the cracks weren’t meant to happen but I’d call that a happy accident. I think think it looks kind of cool and would look even better with a couple of layers of resin over the whole thing to smooth over and varnish everything.
wow this is very cool, i'd like to try this. very inspirational. following you now and i cant wait to see what's next👍
WOW❤
Love the technique.do you just use fluid mediums or do you use additives?
My studio is in my garage and I leave my paintings there to dry, no cracks yet... well let's pray that don't happen to me! Beautiful artwork I THINK.. THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF ART IT'S NEVER A RIGHT OR WRONG WAY
Can you tell me who’s playing this beautiful music
Buenos días desde Zaragoza España me encantan sus trabajos pero no sé cuánto tiempo tardan en secar para poderlos barnizar muchas gracias 😘😘
btw, love cracking, its very cool
Can we do it without that attachment on the end of the hair dryer or no?
The cracks look good to me..
How do you get the cells?
Is this type of painting is possible to make in water colour
I love your videos and your art! I saw how you're filming and it's brilliant. 👏👏👏
I’m glad to have learned something though about what causes it, what not to do. Thank you. Will the paint peel because there are cracks in it??
No, it will not peel
I wish this video would have included recipes how much this or that but a common thread is you cannot do any of it without floetrol some kind of silicone and or some kind of varnish....
Hello Candice does it really matter as to what kind of acrylic paint you use .
why do you use the black paint? could you use just the colors or a white base also?
Dose the black have the pour ingredient in it too?
The cracking also comes from not using an even amount of paint and floetrol throughout the cups. All were very similiar dut h pours using the same colors but still fantastic job
What kind off liquid paint is it?
Could you tell me what acrylics are diluted with? thank you.
When doing pouring do you mix the paint with anything so the colors don’t like Mix and turn brown ?? I’ve heard you can use elmers glue to Mix it I’m new and love your channel and really trying to learn! Any tips please anybody???!
If you are using Elmer's glue then make sure its Elmer's Glue All and not the school glue kind. If you are getting a muddy look after doing a pour then its likely because your paint is too thin.
What pouring medium do you use to flood your canvas?
How did you get all those cells ? Very pretty 😍 💕
I like the cracking,well done 👍
Thanks 👍
Awh....🤦🏽♀️. They were beautiful!!!
Maybe it’s bc I’m new to this, but if u hadn’t said it wasn’t supposed to be cracked, I would’ve never known.... i think the cracks give it more definition... I’m definitely going to be trying this next weekend
Thank you. They are beautiful. Is your dryer on cool or hot? How long do you typically leave them to completely dry? Do you seal it, with what?
I believe heat removes any bubbles. I seal my art with epoxy and love it!
What are you using? Is it a blow dryer?
Why do I never get cells even I had added silicone oil in the paint 😢?
New sub. I have to try a Dutch pour. One question. Do you HAVE to have the blow dryer attachment??? And how thick does the paint need to be??? The consistency of honey???
Yes, the dryer attachment is very important in guiding the flow of your paint (otherwise the air flow is to aggressive )
@@CandiceColorArt thank you
Still looks beautiful
Just beautiful and funny, I like the cracking effect. Nice mistake to a newbie to your channel and this art.
Absolutely love these colors!! What's the song? I love it!
Beautiful colors! Wonder if you could play with the cracks to make them appear like a very old painting... aged?! Just a thought. 🙂
That's a nice idea!
Very nice. Does too much paint cause cracking?
Yes it does
*Thank you for that drying tip, but can't cracks be seen as painting character?😉😉😉💖💖💖😁😁😁*
Love those colors!!! It’s too bad about your paintings. They were pretty!
It's very beautiful ❤️😻
Thank you! 😊
