Acrylic marble pour - incredible results

In this video, I experiment with a new technique to create a stunning marble effect using layers of acrylic paint. This is my first attempt at achieving the marble look, and I’m thrilled with the results! The colors blend beautifully, creating an elegant and captivating finish. I’m excited to continue exploring this technique with different color combinations. Enjoy watching, and let me know what you think!
Acrylic pouring is an art technique used to create abstract paintings with fluid acrylic paints. It involves mixing acrylic paint with a pouring medium to achieve a pourable consistency. Artists then pour the mixture onto a canvas or other surface in various ways, allowing the colors to blend and interact naturally. Here are some key aspects of acrylic pouring:
Materials Needed:
Acrylic Paint: Fluid acrylics work best, but any acrylic paint can be thinned down.
Pouring Medium: This helps to thin the paint without compromising its binding properties. Popular mediums include Floetrol, Liquitex Pouring Medium, and others.
Canvas or Surface: The paint can be poured onto canvas, wood panels, tiles, or other surfaces.
Cups and Mixing Tools: For mixing paint and medium.
Protective Gear: Gloves, aprons, and drop cloths to keep your workspace clean.
Techniques:
Dirty Pour: Different colors are layered in a single cup and then poured onto the canvas.
Flip Cup: A cup filled with paint is placed upside down on the canvas and then lifted to let the paint flow out.
Puddle Pour: Colors are poured individually onto the canvas in small puddles, which then spread and blend.
Swipe: After pouring, a swipe tool (such as a palette knife or piece of plastic) is used to drag paint across the surface to create cells and patterns.
Creating Cells: Cells are small, round areas where colors separate and form interesting patterns. They can be enhanced by adding silicone oil to the paint mix or by using a torch to gently heat the surface, causing the paint to move and cells to form.
Drying and Finishing: The painting needs to dry for several days, depending on the thickness of the paint. Once dry, it can be sealed with a varnish or resin to protect the surface and enhance the colors.
Acrylic pouring is popular due to its unpredictable and mesmerizing results, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced artists to create unique, dynamic pieces.

I'm just curious where the marble is. It looks a lot more like a pearl pour?

You don't see marbling ?

@malachi.creates Sorry, not at all. Maybe it's because I create realistic marbling. 😊
