Acrylic Pour Painting: Pouring On Paper

[@EndlessSims3]

love the horse on paper wow horses are my favorite animal in the world

[@deftlefthand9964]

I was so excited to shop ready to pour paints. As someone with zero experience and uncertain if I'll enjoy this, I wish you sold a starter kit with smaller bottles!

[@lauracrawfordmetz1630]

Thank you for answering my question. This will save me a lot of canvases.

[@bobbivaneman1584]

I enjoyed your video very much !Eventhough I'm not an artist in this genre, I learned some new things that i might be able to apply elsewhere. Thank you. You are a talented & lovely person. God bless you for sharing. ➕

[@carengoodrich]

Thank you, Bobbi! I also learn from other types of art!

[@GlitterallyADHD]

You’re such a great and natural teacher; so generous. Thank you.

[@elizabethwairimu2920]

OMG, i don't know why I've never thought of this. Thanks for the video

[@carengoodrich]

Yes I also have other videos regarding pouring on paper, check them out!

[@bellajessing]

Awesome tutorial 👌

[@luannfischer747]

I just found you, oh my!!! I am one of those people with 75 canvases! I love painting but I’m nowhere near wanting to sell them. You, my new financial advisor, have saved me space, as well as money. THANK YOU

[@carengoodrich]

Luann, great news! It’s some of the best advice I’ve given....if only more people would heed it lol!

[@M_J284]

Amazing idea

[@yeshuasbeloved549]

The painting you don't care for is absolutely adorable to me because in the abstract I see a mother/father dinosaur (left) playing with her/his baby (right). It's like the parent is running from the baby to teach it to be scary or to chase prey.

[@lorettahawley5185]

Thank you so much for this video. The practicality of buying and storing canvases, new and painted, gets in the way of this beautiful creative art. Your videos on painting on paper and mounting the ones you like onto canvases is perfect for me. I love this!

[@Dolphin-cb9sq]

Caren, Clint, with my supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...forgot to thank both of you for introducing me to a fantastic way to make stress free & creative art. God bless you both. Anna K.

[@Kathy-Carr]

[@ladyesther]

great idea for beginners! i will have to try this.

[@Ximeletaonline]

Thanks for your passion!!!!! This will save my sanity in the quarantine!!!! I’m new in painting and you are a great teacher! Greetings from Spain!!! 😘

[@carengoodrich]

Ximeletaonline stay strong! Enjoy painting!

[@catinagervasi4765]

Hi my dear new Friend I found you by purchasing a paint pouring book and in five minutes after finding you a new tube I learned more about painting poor painting to be specific then I had learned in my whole life time I can’t thank you enough for the teacher that you are for the wonderful substance that you have chosen to put in your videos and I am a firm follower of yours for so many reasons I found your website I found your Facebook page and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that you have done for the artistic world

[@bibbanengstrom4046]

Thanks for sharing this excellent idea. Must now go back and watch your previous videos - and start swiping again as I never got the hang of it before.

[@carengoodrich]

Bibban Engström yes I have plenty of swipe videos, also take a look at the “save yourself swipe” video.

[@magdalitena]

Such a great idea, Caren! I'm going to try this today. 💙

[@ladyl7660]

Very helpful informative straight to the point video thank you

[@Dolphin-cb9sq]

Caren, once again you gave us such an informative video. What a great idea to use this paper, especially when I'm still learning. Clint, really liked the close up of the cells. Caren's paints are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

[@carengoodrich]

Thank you, Anna! Let us know how it goes with using paper!

[@Kittyheavenwith21cats]

I tried to buy some already poured paint and it's expired and just noticed this is 5 years old..are u still doing this?!

[@ShawNshawN]

Great take on painting. You definitely need to do many paintings to get much better. Great idea to do a lot of painting on paper before getting to canvas to really save time and experiment on a smaller scale before going to canvas. Nice style in pour painting. Thanks for sharing!

[@carengoodrich]

ShawN shawN and the paper paintings are often just as good as canvas! They are totally legit!

[@vanessapeay8788]

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@shirleymcfarlandolsen9295]

Oh I missed your site for the recipe in your bottles and I'd really like to try your method!

[@renate.g]

Another wonderful video. You have generously shared so many of your techniques...and the paper idea is terrific ! Ironic,but I had used Viva paper towels in a swipe and laid it aside. It took a while to peel off of the plastic but well worth it. Almost feels like marbled leather.

[@carengoodrich]

Yes Viva paper towels are interesting, I have used them as collage pieces.

[@Alchemy_Art_Designs]

Excellent work loved all the paintings you showed.. I like swiping on paper and yupo too 👍

[@davemeinhaldt1405]

Good info on the watercolor paper. ---Dave...

[@angiegaul]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I needed this reminder!

[@hanneingerslev5]

Very inspiring

[@lieyunnita3633]

HAI SIS .. YOU ONLY ADD SILICON ONLY ? AND HOW ABOUT THE BLACK PAINT FOR THE SWIPE ? NO FLOETROL? THANKS FOR THE INFO. ❤❤❤

[@rosanneridler3812]

Hi Karen , tha ks for the video, I have been pouring on yupo, the problem I have is that even months later they stick to each other or clean paper put in between . My medium is usually floetrol , any ideas?

[@jessicacloud5387]

Thanks for making this! Im just about to get started with acrylic pouring. I've got everything except for the paint medium. I bought some 15 canvases that were half price at hobby lobby. But im afraid to do anything on them since im a beginner. Well! I don't have to be afraid because i can practice on water color paper huh? Wow that's a relief! I thought about using cardboard but idk if i can do that!?

[@carengoodrich]

Jessica Cloud no don’t use cardboard!

[@NatachaWasylykVinette]

So you do not use water or jesso here? Maybe I missed it or didn't! i just want to know I am doing it right :)

[@kateagrawal6045]

Thanks for the great idea Caren. I have a few questions and would really appreciate your help. 1. Once you pour on paper how do you move around paint? do you stick it on a cardboard or something? 2. I am trying to use these papers as bookmarks. Any suggestion on how to protect back of page with colors? Thank you

[@carengoodrich]

Kate agrawal no I don’t use cardboard, 140 pound paper is stiff enough on its own to tilt. I don’t have any suggestions for keeping the back of the paper clean. It’s a messy process!

[@tammygoodrich7550]

very good, it looked 4d.

[@Birdwoman58]

Hello Ms. Goodrich. Do you add floetrol to create the cells? Silicone? I love the swipe demonstration. Thank you.

[@PourBethany]

Can you use any type of paper? Or do you recommend a certain type?

[@dabneydwyer6301]

I love your video...I keep going back when I want to learn something new. Have you ever tried pouring on rice paper mounted to a board or canvas? Curious?

[@carengoodrich]

Dabney Dwyer no, I have not used rice paper and don’t know what the advantage or reasoning would be to use it, unless you have some already and want to try it!

[@ArtFlyer01]

Caren, you are a great teacher, thank you. Wish I could take more advantage of your shop et al. 3000+ miles is a bit of a problem though unfortunately . . .

[@CesarDiaz1971]

Thanks for the great video. Is the paper foldable after you do the pour on it? I want to try pour painting to make a cover for a small book, but the particular cover I want to make needs to be folded. I am concerned that the paint will crack when I crease a fold. Thanks again!

[@carengoodrich]

Cesar Diaz the paint itself is pretty flexible, but the watercolor paper might crack, especially if you are going to make a hard crease. Best to test it out and see if it does what you want it to.

[@sandylarsen6258]

Caren, love your videos. Do you put a finish on the paper paintings? Do you have any recommendations as to what can be used to keep them shiny?

[@carengoodrich]

Sandy Larsen Minwax polycrylic

[@sandylarsen6258]

Thank you so much for your reply!

[@joetorres9892]

Do you seal with clear coat?

[@sandyvpadilla2010]

Que tipo de pinturas son????

[@dabneydwyer6301]

Caren, this is awesome. I have done quite a few abstract paintings on paper--but not a pour. What finish would you recommend for pour paintings on paper since using Floetrol, there is no gloss?

[@carengoodrich]

Dabney Dwyer I use brush-on Minwax Polycrylic, clear gloss, found in hardware stores. It also come in a spray.

[@dabneydwyer6301]

Thank you. i use that on the canvas paintings, but was not sure about paper! Love your videos.

[@rebellionacrylique3357]

Hi Caren, I enjoy so much your work. How did you do the horse ? I would like to do that kind of project. Thank you !

[@arlenecox3101]

Can you use the paper you've painted to use for wrapping paper or gift bags? Or is it too stiff. I just found your video today. It's very cool.

[@carengoodrich]

Arlene Cox the paper I use is too stiff for wrapping paper. You could use it for something flat like notecards.

[@ghazalttt]

Amazing video! I was thinking on pouring in cardboard. Can I use cardboard if I prep it with gesso?

[@albertoanderlini9394]

are the colors diluted or not?

[@lioncococ8366]

Thank u so much, very informative. New subbie

[@chrissieburke727]

Doesn't the paper get warped

[@carengoodrich]

Yes it does. It can create interesting effects, though. I also have a video about how to flatten warped watercolor paper.

[@cuddil]

Hi Caren, I've been using this watercolor paper for a while but the always wrap. How do you keep it from wrapping? Thank you

[@carengoodrich]

[@hopieliz8661]

Hi. So there is no need to gesso the watercolor paper? Should it be varnished?

[@carengoodrich]

I sometimes gesso the watercolor paper, but you could do it without gessoing. Yes I varnish.

[@brendajernigan7642]

Did your black paint have silicone in it?? I missed that!

[@carengoodrich]

no

[@ronboyer2732]

As a beginner, i really appreciate your info on using watercolor paper. i've tried finding your paint with no success Please assist when youo can

[@carengoodrich]

The link is in the description below my videos, but here it is: www.happymedium.fun This is the only place you can buy it!

[@loricrawford8426]

What weight paper do you use?

[@carengoodrich]

the one in the video is 140 pound but I have other weights I use, listed on my Amazon page.

[@HeatherWrightArt]

This is a really great video Caren, thank you so much for some fantastic ideas! What pound weight watercolor paper are you using? And am I correct in seeing that you cut out your buffalos and horse and glued them down to another swipe? Those are really great :-)

[@carengoodrich]

HeatherWrightArt the watercolor paper is 140 pound but I have others I use that are different weights. No I do not cut out images and glue them down, it is all one painting. I use the negative painting method and have videos about it.

[@sheendex]

Argh I knew I would just get such an itch to paint if I watched this...
