Acrylic Pouring Blow Technique: Just Blowin' the Blues

[@leedeetz410]

I had forgotten how much I like that technique

[@AcrylicPouring]

I did it ages ago to make flames on a black background and then sort of forgot about it for a while. Now I love how simple it is.

[@joycegilley6601]

Thanks keep up the great work

Thank you so much :-)

[@LRMarsh-le9zj]

Hey Deb. I see someone has finally done a technique I have been thinking of. I think its a economical, less paint waste, way to make a beautiful piece. But I do have a suggestion: instead of a straw that puts your head in the shot...try using a length of flexible plastic tubing (available in the fish aquarium section.)

[@AcrylicPouring]

I wonder if I would have to blow that much harder for a longer tube?

[@margarethdemery488]

Hi LR, thanks to your idea, I picked some up and did a non paint test to cut it to a good length 👍

[@iukagirl]

that's really pretty

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thanks so much :-)

[@timelessmemories5150]

you have found your calling this is wonderful

[@AcrylicPouring]

I'm having the time of my life Linda!

[@sanjaykumarsharma6511]

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you so much :-) Are you in our Facebook group? I'd love for you to share some pictures of how you get on facebook.com/groups/acrylicpouring

[@margarethdemery488]

I love the way you experiment with the paint and surfaces... I have some extra white tile and will definitely try this...awesome...

[@AcrylicPouring]

Tiles are great for practice and experiments. Good luck

[@lizdouglas1952]

LOVE THIS!!!!!! GORGEOUS!!!!!

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thanks so much Liz

[@pattybanas8353]

Gorgeous...........love it. I am going to have to try this too. Thanks I love your videos.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you so much :-)

[@agnesashford2074]

beautiful, lovely colours.

[@AcrylicPouring]

I was worried the green was a bit bright, but in the end I think it was just right - phew.

[@helenelaine100]

This is a winner for sure Deby! Beautiful!

[@AcrylicPouring]

Wait till you see the big one in a couple of days. Love it!

[@helenelaine100]

Deby at Acrylic Pouring I can't wait!

[@Jasvir33art]

Amazing Deby! I LOVE this one and the technique! Brilliant results 🙌🏼

[@AcrylicPouring]

I look forward to seeing your interpretation soon :-)

[@gooseygirl1]

Stunning!!!!!!!

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you. Deby

[@ramwiebe]

You gave me a way to do a commission piece! I did a flower with alcohol ink on tiles and sold them as coasters. The lady who bought them wants a large piece to match and I've been trying to figure out how I could do that and still keep it freeform. This method should work! So thankyou very much! I'll be experimenting on my own to get something similar to my coaster using your method. ❤️❤️❤️

[@AcrylicPouring]

Excellent, glad to hear you were inspired. I hope you will come and share your results in our Facebook group = facebook.com/groups/acrylicpouring

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Really pretty, great effects, thanks for sharing xx

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you Tracey, I enjoyed this one

[@addydog2012]

Omg! I love this! I'm going to try!

[@AcrylicPouring]

It's really quite easy and looks pretty. Pick the right colors and you can get pretty flowers too.

[@StudioPashnada]

Looks great Deby

[@grannykareneheadHead]

Love it

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thanks so much :-) I very much appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@KrystalKstar]

Love this.

[@suewiseman494]

Beautiful!!! Love the colours. Exactly the technique I was looking for. Thank you. =)

[@AcrylicPouring]

I hope you will come and share your results in our Facebook group = facebook.com/groups/acrylicpouring

[@cathyramsay]

Love the effect. Have done similar with alcohol inks, now will have fun trying acrylic! Thank you:)

[@AcrylicPouring]

It worked better than I expected :-)

[@cathyramsay]

If you don't mind saying, how do you finish the back of the tiles so they can be hung on the wall?

[@AcrylicPouring]

I glue on a sheet of cork to make the back look nice and then I display them on these little wooden easels, like mini art works. amzn.to/2u4ueFI

[@elnarahajiyeva4924]

This blow technique has such a subtle and elegant effect.. And just the right amount of cells.. For larger pieces i know people are using air blow guns (air compressors)..❤️

[@AcrylicPouring]

I would love to have a try with one of those one day.

[@dianar8819]

Love this!

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you so much :-)

[@juttalio2620]

Hi Debby! That one turned out very nice. This is one of the color combinations I usualy do. The technique with the strawl is good for this small piece but I think not so practical for bigger ones. I would blow my lungs out. LOL Greetings from Germany

[@AcrylicPouring]

I thought so too but I have a bigger one coming up tomorrow and managed to do it without passing out!

[@hemaraman7254]

wow!!!

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thanks so much :-)

[@mariakoutromanos8232]

Very beautiful

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you so much :-)

[@danjan9530]

I don’t understand how your cell creation is so good. I mix mine with floetrol and some water and they still don’t react like this. What am I doing wrong? Any help greatly appreciated.

[@EtherealOrbAbastractArt]

so beautiful and tranquil! I think I must be blowing a little too hard. I'm going to try to be a bit more gentle next time I try.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Look forward to seeing it Meghan

[@adrianthomas6407]

That's really is beautiful, when you blow is it the base colour that makes the other coloures move freely, when I try this method my colours are very stiff and difficult to spread?

[@BakerbooPaints]

beautiful job Deby 😍 ... looks way better than when you're restricted to 3 colours eh 😉

[@AcrylicPouring]

Oh yes, that was a real challenge!

[@ellieleydsman8833]

Beautiful. It looks like a peacock.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thanks Ellie. Deby

[@jdmosaics]

Hi Deby love this as saw on Suave art too... did you have any Silicone in this paint, the paint looks quite thin too. Well done, I think very creative.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Yes there would have been silicone in the colors. Its a fun way to create a painting and feel you have a little more control.

[@bryeannaligas1093]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thanks

[@PTerracina]

Do you add Floetrol and water to the white as well? Or is it purely white paint? Thanks for sharing this technique!

[@DebyatMixedMediaArts]

Yes the white paint was mixed with the floetrol and water, the same as the other paints.

[@fayemckenna558]

Really nice !How do you hang the tiles? Will the paint stay on the tiles like its wood or canvas or is there prep work for the tiles.Thanks

[@AcrylicPouring]

I usually display the tiles on little easels (these ones - amzn.to/2t9alQL) like mini art works rather than hanging them. I've never had any trouble so far with the paint on them, but if someone wanted to use it like a coaster and then put it in the dishwasher, that I wouldn't recommend.

[@glendapaul8040]

lovely. I have some old ceramic tiles I wanted to do something with. this might work! - is the tile you have used a ceramic one? enjoyed the video thanks :)

[@AcrylicPouring]

Yes just a plain 6 inch glossy tile. It is fun. I hope you'll give it a try and share your results in our Facebook Group.

[@meowmom5]

Very nice, can't wait to try it. Can I ask you where you get your plastic bottles? Think I would like to prepare a bottle of white to keep on hand.

[@AcrylicPouring]

These are the ones I use. You have to be careful to get good quality ones that won't leak or the top won't pop off! amzn.to/2t6ADDp

[@meowmom5]

Deby at Acrylic Pouring , Thank you Deby for letting me know where you order your bottles, I ordered some today. I really enjoy your videos - thank you for sharing your talents with us!!

[@AcrylicPouring]

It's 100% my pleasure Christine, thank you.

[@karolewagnerdesigns]

I love this technique and your color choices! My question is do you mix silicone in the paint you keep in squeeze bottles? If so do you add it when you first put it n the bottle? I thought silicone had to be added just before painting.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't add it, depending on how I plan to use the paints or how soon. Generally I would add a few drops into the bottles. I don't think it has to be added at the last minute because it's oil so it doesn't evaporate. If it were alcohol, then yes that would evaporate off. Alternatively, you could premix a bunch and then add a drop or two into the pour cup instead. Hope that helps.

[@lauriewatson2822]

Have you seen Sauve Arts videos? She does this same thing on a larger scale and they come out beautiful. I bet yours would too :)

[@AcrylicPouring]

I've already done a bigger one, you'll see it soon. I love this technique!

[@StudioPashnada]

Laurie Watson I follow her too.

[@virrehodet]

Cool

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thanks so much :-) I very much appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@moniquegalmiche7132]

Very Nice....just a question... did you add silicone in white too ? Thank you

[@AcrylicPouring]

Yes I did, all the paints were mixed the same.

[@sigridpetrogiannis7064]

hi Deby, do you use special tiles or just the ones we put on the wall?

[@AcrylicPouring]

Just the regular economy wall tiles, nothing special.

[@michealsmith101]

what is 91% Isopropyl Alcohol used? Is it used WITH the Silicone, or is it a substitute for Silicone?

[@AcrylicPouring]

Some people use it as a substitute for silicone to make cells, but after trying it a lot myself, I really couldn't get it to work consistently for me

[@AR12541]

When you use a torch, does the flame actually touch the paint?

[@AcrylicPouring]

No not at all, the torch stays a good distance away from the paint and should only gently warm it.

[@AR12541]

Deby at Acrylic Pouring Thank you for your quick response.

[@addagirl3487]

how does this dry fully? mate and cracks or smooth and glossy?

[@AcrylicPouring]

There won't be any cracks, but like with most acrylic paints it does dry rather matte. All the shine comes back with a few coats of varnish though.

[@harrietleazer3860]

Is there any kind of medium, silicone etc in the paints?

[@AcrylicPouring]

Yes, the paints are mixed 2 part paint to 1 part floetrol plus water and 1 drop of silicone per color.

[@anitageiges]

how do you seal these. how do you make the paint thinner

[@AcrylicPouring]

To make the paint thinner for this example I just added a few drops more water to my mix. For sealing, I use Polycrylic - I have an article about it and why I love it here - acrylicpouring.com/recommended-protective-finish-paintings/

Thanks so much :-) I very much appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@rose-francemazzarese9214]

vous devriez parler plus lentement ,pour les personnes qui lisent la traduction en français merci c joli

[@AcrylicPouring]

you should speak more slowly, for people who read the French translation thank you c pretty

[@AcrylicPouring]

I do get asked to speak more slowly now and again. I'm very aware that most people have very busy lives so I try to speak a little quicker than normal and make my videos shorter rather than longer.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Did you know that you can both slow down and speed up videos on youtube = Saviez-vous que vous pouvez à la fois ralentir et accélérer les vidéos sur youtube.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Click on settings and then speed and slow me down. Hope this helps. Deby = Cliquez sur paramètres, puis accélérez et ralentissez-moi. J'espère que cela t'aides. Deby

[@rose-francemazzarese9214]

merci je vais essayer

[@readingwithrenryler4671]

What do you use as your clear coat afterwards?
