(466) NOT ACRYLIC POURING - Creating a Soft, Mottled Background in Acrylics

Something different today...I'm creating a background for a painting I have in mind. I thought you might find it helpful and perhaps use it for the pours that are so popular right now done over a dried background.

My pleasure! Thanks for watching, Brenda!

Thanks for sharing how to do the mottled background. That will make a great background for another project.

[@ChrisJeszeck]

You are so welcome!

[@mywifetheartist]

Beautiful technique.

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kellybonner1439]

Chris thanks for showing us this. Love these kinds of lessons!

[@sherry1175]

Blending colors is not easy, but you made it look easy. I love them both, and that large one is gorgeous! I can't wait to see what you do with them!

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Thanks so much, Sherry! Stay tuned! 😊

[@reginaphyfer9619]

Oh my word Chris the large canvas is gorgeous

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Thanks so much Regina! Stay tuned for what I painted on them both, coming this weekend!

[@neophytosjuliana]

Love this look but can't wait to see what you do next Thanks Chris 💖

Yay! Thank you!

[@DebbiePagtalonia]

Chris this is amazing! I cannot wait to see how you embellish this!

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Thanks Deborah! I'm halfway done! Will probably shoe this coming weekend. 😊

[@beckymonaghan50]

Thank you for the great video Chris. I wanted to let to learn more about blending. This was a big help! 🥰

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@jessicalarson3758]

Very informative video Chrissy! Ty 4 sharing! I love this look! It is a SUPER pretty background! I cannot wait to see what you do with it!!:) I have been into Bokeh backgrounds lately. As soon as I seen that hair I said, "ugh" cause I KNOW it CAN be such a drag if it's difficult to get out. TBH, I have bought so many expensive mop brushes and guess what I use instead? Makeup brushes! ha! They have worked better for me. Some I have are just so super soft and I don't seem to have as much shedding issues. The work beautifully! I never used them for my face, so I decided "hey, why not? I'm gonna try it!" and I haven't turned back since! lol. So, if you have any nice powder brushes laying around that you don't use for makeup, give it a shot! You may be just as surprised as I was! lol. I LOVE it when you do these kinds of videos! I would think a lot of us into fluid art are just as much into other types of art as well, ya know? Well, I very much appreciate these videos... I can at least test to THAT! :) As always, lots of love & hugs! xo

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Thanks for the tip Jessica! I'm sure I do have some brushes I can utilize for art!

[@loriwibicki8029]

Relaxing and more educated, thanks. ✌️💜🖌

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lzfluidart8315]

Thanks so much for sharing ❤ I love this look! Can’t wait to see what you do with it

[@ChrisJeszeck]

You are so welcome!

[@teraperry1008]

Thanks for showing this Chris! I'm definitely going to try this! The last pearl painting I did I used a translucent base over a mottled blue/ purple base. This looks like it might be easier than using fluid paint to achieve the mottled look. I really appreciate this video Chris! Your big and smaller canvas look great! Please show us what you do with it😊🌞🤗🌞🤗🌞😊

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Thanks so much Tera! Glad you enjoyed. 😘

[@dleigh4534]

Chris i am looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Thanks DLeigh! Probably this coming weekend! 😘

[@mrsretired]

Wonderful tutorial. It’s a very pretty base. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤

[@ChrisJeszeck]

A pleasure, Carolyn! Fun to do! 😘

[@CathArtistry]

Thanks for showing this great backgroung technique, Chris. I've never used a mop brush before. That really softens the colors. Nicely done, my friend! 💖

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Thanks so much! Great fun to do...❤

[@CathArtistry]

@@ChrisJeszeck Looks relaxing 💗

[@mommaosachicago]

Nice! So many possibilities, Chris.

[@ChrisJeszeck]

Thanks! I'm working on it now; will show in a future video. 😘

[@judehegarty1426]

Nice lesson ty Chris!!! 💕

[@ChrisJeszeck]

My pleasure...thank you for watching!

[@jennyc1846]

That was me...like no:80 :) ..always good to see how others blend thanks Chris...did it take much longer to dry? I think that's the secret...I've done 'follow me' tutorials before and I and others comment on how they get their paints to stay wet longer even though they tell you to just use water...grrr they are probably using a gel medium as they don't have the same issues.. I never thought to use it even though I have it. I think that's a bit cheeky!! Thanks for the great tip. I'm sure many of us will benefit from that knowledge. BTW have you noticed or has anyone ever mentioned how much your profile painting looks like Cher? Im sure she would love it :) cheers from West Oz x ??Did you paint your big canvas yet..love the colours,,,

[@ChrisJeszeck]

It takes a bit longer, probably fine the next day? I show my finished painting of this and the large one on some future video, not sure which one. Thank you as always for your kind feedback! 😊 And yes, many comparisons to Cher, though it was unintentional!
