4K Triptych Dutch Pour Paint and Water Only - Blue and Gold

Dutch Pour acrylic pouring technique with paint and water only!
This is tutorial for acrylic painting.The recipe for the paint was 1 part paint and 1 part water. The Powder Blue was a Level 2 Liquitex paint and I had to add a bit more water to match the other paint's consistency.
Canvas size: 12x24inches or 30x60cm each canvas
Colors used were Peyne's Grey, Light Blue Violet, Powder Blue and Gold from Liquitex Basics and White Flow Acrylic from Artist's Loft used on the background.
I hope you enjoyed this video, and let me know your questions or comments below.

[@sophiaholzer7842]

oh my goodness this is absolutely stunning!!!! so soft and smooth in its movement! Thank you for showing this process so detailed, I learned that I need to use less colors as the middle part and more white around so whenever I blow it out, the color is able to move further (mine always look so ashy and dirty - I think it might be because I dont use enough white around?) One question: how do you manage that the bubbles only show after you blow the color out?? it looks SO amazing!

[@SophisticatedArtisan]

Hi Sophia, this is all due to the white paint vc the color paint consistency, meaning the bubbles are more prominent if your base coat is slightly more liquid than the colors. I hope this helps!

[@cassandraburton6132]

You are extraordinary. The Dutch pour is a stunner and yet you make it look so easy. How do you create such fine artworks and stay so clean? 😊 As I said you are indeed extraordinary. An artist to watch out for .🦋

[@marla4989]

Just breathtaking- but how do you get cells forming using just water in your paints?

[@SophisticatedArtisan]

Thank you Marla! It usually happens when the background paint is a tad thiner, so the paint separates a bit. Thank you for watching!

[@sushigilmour9336]

Gorgeous and elegant. You only use paint and water but I see in a later video you also added floetrol. Which recipe do you prefer?

[@SophisticatedArtisan]

It really depends on the design and texture I’m after. I think my favorite is paint and water only, but if it’s a large painting I usually chose to add floetrol because of the amount of paint used. What about you? Thank you for watching 😃

[@mesagirl224]

Thank you for showing this! I would like to try to do this if it’s OK? How powerful is your hair dryer and what speed did you use? I am new to acrylic pour painting and your tutorial is amazing. This is a beautiful! Thank you

[@SophisticatedArtisan]

Oh please do!!!! I’d love to see your work too!!! My hairdryer is 1875 watts and I use in high speed with cool temperature ( there’s a button I hold on mine). Thank you 😊

[@pkotesky]

[@TampaBMan]

Was about to do a bloom spin pour instead of laundry after watching another video of yours. Now, not so sure - it may be a Dutch pour!

[@SophisticatedArtisan]

😄 absolutely! Laundry won’t go anywhere

[@TampaBMan]

Sophisticated Artisan Neither will all my paint and resin supplies! Thank goddess!

[@claramadeira1943]

Hi there! I just found this video, and I'm amazed. What a beautiful paint!! I would like to ask you this: when you say "The recipe for the paint was 1 part paint and 1 part water", you really mean 50% paint and 50% water? Thank you and congratulations!

[@lindapopejoy2190]

Danggggg.... that is probably one of the best triptychs using a Dutch Pour that I have EVER seen! The fact that you use just water is so exciting to me because I’ve just thrown out my 2nd huge lot paints that I’ve premixed with rotten Floetrol! I’m not buying that junk anymore and really sooooo happy to see your gorgeous results, cells and all, with plain water! Thank you 🙏🏻 🥰😃😃

[@SophisticatedArtisan]

Oh wow, Thank you so much Linda! 😃 I had the same problem with Floetrol. This summer I bought 3 gallons and left in my garage for maybe 3 weeks and they spoiled... oh that smell is awful and I need to find out how to discard it. The paint and water mix works super well and results in gorgeous cells too! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[@lilianam5140]

hello, I belive Artis Loft flow acrylic used on the background is perfect for create the beatiful cells, but another brand of paint can be used that is equally effective ? Liquitex, Amsterdam. thank you very much.

[@claudiam4833]

Hello there, Im super new here, Where do you buy your paint and what brand is your favorite... ? thank you . Beautiful work. Im hooked.

[@SophisticatedArtisan]

Hi Claudia, welcome! My favorite paint brands are Arteza and Liquitex, but I usually use Liquitex because it’s more affordable as we use a lot of paint on acrylic Pouring. Sometimes I use Artist’s Loft (AL) brand if there’s a specific color I can’t find with Liquitex, for example Old Gold, but I avoid AL brand because it’s more liquid and you end up using more paint on the mixture than other brands. The exception is the AL Flow Acrylic paint that is wonderful to use as background paint for Dutch Pours. I usually buy my paint at Michael’s and I always try to use coupons and check Liquitex and Amazon website to compare pricing. For the colors I use the most I buy 32oz size paint, usually from Amazon, but note their price will fluctuate a lot day to day, so in US a good price I think is mid-low $20’s. I hope this was helpful, let me know if I can help you with anything else! Thank you for finding my channel 😊

[@Im2Old4ThisShite]

May I ask how you finished this piece? Resin? Varnish? It's absolutely magnificent!!

[@SophisticatedArtisan]

Thank you Michael. I finish all my paintings with High gloss varnish from Liquitex Basics

Thank you so much Nick

[@harjith.d.bubber]

Would hang these on my walls !! Fantastic. How do you get the cells if its only acrylic and water?

[@SophisticatedArtisan]

Mostly by pouring the background paint over the colors, it creates light separation when you blow it out and the cells are formed!

@@SophisticatedArtisan Thanks
