# 17 - ‘Dutch Pour’ on ceramic tiles

Hi everyone!
Thanks for joining me again...
In this video I created 3 more sets of ceramic tile coasters.
Set 1 - I used the same colours as in video # 4 with the exception of swapping orange for copper.
I had a lot of amazing feedback on that particular colour combo so I decided to try it on tiles. I really love the way it turned out.
Set 2 - I used purple, Ivory and Payne's grey
I didn't like it at first but it totally grew on me and I love it.
Set 3 - back to the blues.. my fave colours. Love this one too.
Colours used in this video:
Set 1:
Copper by Artist's Loft
Dioxazine Purple by Liquitex Basics
Opaque Primary Yellow by Pebeo Studio Acrylics
Metallic Cobalt Blue by Artist's Loft
Set 2:
Payne's Grey by Liquitex Basics
Prism Violet by Liquitex Basics
Buff Titanium by Pebeo Studio Acrylics
Set 3:
Thalo Blue by Academy
Brilliant Blue by liquitex Basics
Rose Gold by Deco Art Metallics
Iridescent Blue Green by Pebeo Studio Acrylics

I really appreciate the way you show that “happy mistakes” can still turn out great! I’m more likely to be patient with my projects. You’re teaching is real and your work is lovely 😊

[@cindykiefnerthecoppertorch7789]

I've been pouring 4 x 4 tiles for the last three days and it never occurred to me that I could do 4 at once! Thank you so much, Kanella!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

anytime Cindy!

[@maryengebregtsen7819]

Good

[@iannaomivause6474]

Youre a great artist and I love the way you show us how to mix the colours and fix up any oops. Great video, great artist, love your work

[@ljackson320]

All three sets look amazing. 😍😍😍

[@joyceengland8781]

Very well done and do able. I really enjoyed watching your work

[@ruthlee9025]

Loved the real life art adventure. And in the center pour, I like the 3 ‘bad ones’ more than the 1 successful one.

[@cherylsanders2753]

Gorgeous colors combos & compositions! I just bought a box of tiles at Restore and will be trying this today!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

awesome! good luck!

[@SK-mh5wb]

All tile sets look so pretty. I liked the middle one where it got a bit messed up, but looks in fact so neat. Can you also do a tutorial using Art Resin when you seal these tiles. Would love to see that..thanks!

[@SL-1122]

So glad I found you channel Kanella! I am Canadian as well and started Pouring in November of last year and had a hard time finding other Canadians on KZbin. I'm so glad you started a channel so I can get the same supplies you can. Your pours are Beautiful by the way. I'm looking forward to following you. And one day I'm going to start a channel too. Im just camera shy...lol

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Hi Sheena! Thanks and welcome to my channel! Where in Canada are you from? It's nice to see fellow Canucks on here... :) I hope you enjoy my videos...:)

[@mellodym5931]

Beautiful! The blue are my favs!

[@bettyannecharico3421]

Your work is beautiful, can,t wait to figure out a space to do it. Have bee painting since a paint&sip class since 2014. Do pictures of anything that takes my interest. Need to get set up for pouring. At 87 moving in one room with daughter but want to keep painting. Been told I should sell.

[@lindachiasson3699]

I love the ivory with purple I bet it looks great with a dark blue . They are beautiful coasters 😉

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Linda Chiasson thanks so much! And maybe I’ll be trying that next time around 😉

Can't wait to try this. I am partial to puples in any shade--so those are my favorite. Nice job!

Am not surprised. So so so pretty. You should do that combo again.

[@davep9446]

How well does the acrylic adhere to the tile? Do you seal it with anything? Thanks!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Hi Dave, it adheres really well. I have never had an issue with cracking or peeling.. ever! When they are dry I add a top coat of ArtResin on them

HI Kanella, it's me again, I just got the answer to my question about leftover paint from your video #37 so thanks for that.

[@Galvoflysoz]

Gave me a great idea for a kitchen splash back. Do the tiles then mount them behind the stove after an epoxy clear coat.

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

they make for a great back splash

[@blondeevan4731]

Great video, beautiful work! I have the same torch, I love love love it :)

thanks hun

[@patriciaellis1603]

They look great! How do you seal the paint to the coaster so it doesn’t peel off?

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

patricia ellis thank you! When the tiles are completely dry I put a coat of resin on them to seal them.

[@loribrinton131]

Do you use any varnish or anything to protect them? Love the purple one the most!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

yes I resin them for a topcoat

[@lauriekerestes7840]

which do you find nicer to use, the dutch pour recipe vs the bloom recipe on the tiles?

[@TheTalksoup]

i love prism violet and only liquitex makes it. i add silver pearl pigment and its amazing !

[@JoaBea4]

Love!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Thanks!

[@yolandelabuschagne4971]

Love your work....please tell me....the ceramic tiles....is it glazed? Love your work...from South Africa...

[@suzannemagnus4188]

Hi Kanella, I'm just down the hwy from you in Toronto :) The suggestion of the colour swatches from the paint department is fantastic! I was wondering when you mixed paints in the little cups or any cups I guess, did you just cover the leftovers with plastic wrap? Thanks, Go Raptors!

[@mpetersen2586]

Hi, its me again......I like the idea of your backing on the canvases.....how do you finish your tile slides...you were going to do it off camera but I’d like to your process. I love these tiles....I’ve used the tiles for alcohol inks, but I want to try the Dutch poor.....thanks

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Hi! I finish off my tiles with a coat of resin.

[@MimiB9226]

Once the tiles are dry what do for a finish, if using for Coasters? Thanks

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

I use Krystal Resin - if you check out my newer videos you’ll see videos of me using it etc

[@heathershenhouse3011]

They were all lovely! I just tried my first one and my paint was to thick and my blow dryer was to soft! Lol Maybe 😉 I'll get the next one!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Heather Caver thanks Heather. Practice makes perfect 😉

[@davidenders7210]

What is the drying (curing) time for coasters? Would it be the same as canvas projects?

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

its actually faster most times... 2-3 days

[@deanneholman2987]

Thanks for response. Is it a ready pour paint and that’s what you use for the pillows and canvas?

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

no - not ready pour paint... check out my video #63 for paint info

[@juliezboyovsky1915]

Nice going on your painted tiles,1st and 3rd I really like,you seem to get good results when using blues .I have found myself not using so much black or grey paint as they seem to take over the other color paints. What are you going to use as a backing for the tiles.Hope you don't mind me asking Kanella, were did you get your big Popsicle sticks from.

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Julie Price hi Julie, thanks for the lovely comment. And please, feel free to ask any questions you want. That’s why I do these videos, to help people. I love blues, I’ve used them so many times... they mix well and there’s no chance of them turning to mud. I have never tried black and white as all I see is a grey mess lol As for the backs of the tiles, I actually use foam. I buy a large roll of it from michaels (in the felt section) and cut out the squares and then hot glue them to the back of my tiles. I’ve seen people use cork but I find the cork crumbles when you cut it. So I use the foam instead. I get the large popsicle sticks from the dollar store. 😊

[@susanrenova8625]

What do you put on after you paint the coasters as a clear

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Epoxy resin

[@carolalexander2717]

These are beautiful! Do you use the matt finish tile, or just the regular glossy ones? Where do you get the Art Resin? Do you put anything like felt on the back?How much $ do you sell for?

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Hi Carole, I just use the shiny ones - i buy the ArtResin on Amazon (i have links for Amazon in my most recent videos - this one is an old video) for the back I add foam... check out my video #37 - you will see the back of my coasters in that video. I sell these ones for $35 Canadian for a set of 4

[@carolalexander2717]

@@KanellaCiracoArt Thanks for replying so quickly! I really appreciate all your answers..I will definitely watch you videos on putting backing on the tiles and also the one on how to resin. I'm pretty new at pour painting, but I am totally obsessed! So having your videos to watch is a great help! Thanks for the clear instructions. My newest obsession is the dutch pour, so I will watch all your videos so I can do this better...What kind of hair dryer do you use? I've tried 2 different ones and they don't blow enough...I've ended up blowing the whole thing through a straw..It gets pretty exhausting! Anyway, Thanks so much for all the help. It's very much appreciated!!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Carol Alexander no problem Carol. I just use a cheap hair dryer that I bought at Walmart. It’s ‘conair’. Don’t blow with a straw. That’s the worst thing you can do. You will get all dizzy and it doesn’t work well. If you have to blow, just use your mouth. Your mouth is wider than a straw so you will blow less than if you were using the straw.

[@carolalexander2717]

@@KanellaCiracoArt I will look for a dryer at Walmart. Yeah, last painting I spent hours on it with a straw, then ended up pouring over it, so I hope not to do that again. I will continue to learn. Thanks

[@liswilliams787]

Do you gesso the tiles first? Absolutely loved all of the tiles once they had settled

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Lis Williams hi Lis! No, I don’t gesso the tiles. There’s no need to. 😊

[@bev2hawky]

Beautiful love watching your videos you said you mix only floetrol plus paint A little confused as I watched another one of yours and I thought you said floetrol paint and water mix also to do the base coat is it one of the above mixes thanks and do you seal your coaster before resin thanks

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

the video with the paint mixing ratios has a 'please read' in the description. I have since changed my white ratio - so yes, you need water in the white (same mixture as the coloured paints) and no, i don't prep my tiles before resin :)

[@robinbrennan4561]

You mentioned in one of your videos that ikea had frames that work with the 4 tiles. Could you let me know what they were?

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

I have no clue. I also don’t remember saying that. Keep in mind this is a video that’s over 4 years old. Sorry but I don’t remember any of that.

[@lindasherrell3335]

As coasters, do they need to be sealed in some way to set and protect the colors? Love the process!!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Linda Sherrell hi Linda. Yes, they get a clear for of resin on them

[@lindaparker3129]

How long do you wait before you resin?

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

as soon as they are fully dry to the touch

[@melindaburns279]

Love these! Could they be used as trivets or would heat not be good on the resin?

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Thanks Melinda - no, the hottest thing you can use them with is a coffee mug.

[@lrl2196]

Epoxy resin will withstand up to 500 degrees ! Get the high heat epoxy resin not the art resin.👌

[@jackieharrison925]

Does it matter of the tiles are glazed or unglazed?

[@karinegdorf9112]

nice job. I might have added another red/violet to the second one for a bit more variation

Karin Egdorf thanks Karin!

[@michellehoman5351]

Hi Kane’s I was wondering do you prep the tiles in anyway and are they just regular tile you can get from the hardware store? I love them all but I’m partial to the blues💙! I would love to see one done in greens, green is my favorite color 💚!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Hi Michelle - no i dont prep the tiles and yes I just buy them from Lowes or Home Depot

is that a heat gun or a torch? it looks so tiny. curious as to the brand. thanks so much

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Hi there, it's a torch. I do not know the brand. I bought it off amazon and it's called a culinary torch.

[@jennyloser8176]

Did you protect the backs

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Yes with tape

[@KCoda1248]

Do you glue felt or anything to the bottoms of the coasters to keep from scratching furniture?

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

yes, I add cork backing - check out my video #126 - i show a coaster with a backing in that video

how do you finish off the backs of the coasters to keep drips off furniture or is their another video for that. Thanks for sharing.

Are these coasters safe for hot coffee cups or do they need a protective layer of something? I am BRAND new to pouring and have been binge watching your videos! I would love to do these coasters for family gifts.
