Acrylic Pouring: Glue recipie as Pouring medium for paint mixing in Fluid-Art

#acrylicpouring #FluidArt #pourpainting #pouring medium #gluepouringmedium
Acrylic pouring & fluid art:
There are many recipe out there and almost mystical believe of what it is doing. It should hold your pigment connection while thinning the paint down with water. There are some things to consider though picking your Pouring medium. Ready made from the shelf is the most expensive. Floetrol is somewhere in the middle but additional to having a little binders it's also a conditioner to get a creamy and more fluid concistency, Glue is the cheapest and a strong binder and also allows you to get the most volume out of paint as you can add quite a lot of water until it reaches the right concistency.
So all works fine. Make yourself your own opinion.
My favourite is 1:1 glue & floetrol as pouring medium mixed with 1 part paint
It's all about the magic
Over the artist:
Hi. I'm an artist for acrylic paint pouring and fluid art from the Netherlands. This form of abstract and modern decorative painting is done with Acrylics brought to the right consistency with various pouring mediums, oils and additives. By moving the paint layers, playing with different tools or adding heat I create different effects. Very messy and very fun. The Paintings can be don't know canvas, MDF frames, tiles or other flat surfaces. Can also be used to make daily items and gifts unique f.ex. little boxes or ornaments.

In order to maintain color mix the glue with the water first. Add that mixture to the paint in order to keep the vibrant color

Hi, i would like to know, what is floetrol, where does this come into the mixing of paints, i cannot find it in my country, i have paints and a clear glue for paper and thats all, i am so eager to start, but i want to make sure i have all to start, thank you for your video

[@PouringArtExperience]

I advise you to educate yourself before starting anything. Then you know what I going on and why. What to use and how and (as you ask) what it does. Therefore please go to playlist and have a look at the basic playlist. It starts right from the beginning

Hello Santana. Excellent tutorial. I have started pouring last week after seeing it on KZbin. I love it. I love we never know the end result. Magic Happens each time. Learn more each time.It is a wonderful and calming Art. I learnt soooo much from you today. I have been using PVA glue cause i couldn't afford Floetrol. You explained in great detail why and how we use mediums in paint. And the right consistency. Fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work and knowledge. Greatly appreciated from us all. Your voice is a delight to listen to. THANK YOU. I will now go and watch more of your videos. Cheers from Australia

[@ihavenopatience3015]

If the glue is too thick, the texture dries uneven and the colors get stuck. If it's too fluid, the texture is perfect, but the colors combine with each other. If you combine diluted cups with thick preparatuions cups, it creates better effect on the canvas but the texture will pay uneven. The glue gets a bit disolved when dry so the color remains. If the color measurement is thin, it can dry empty. If the color concentration is increased, you have consistency after the drying process. Drying is problematic. You can make it more diluted but only with more color that dries the glue and stabilize faster. If it's too fluid, however, it fragments the paint because of the layer of water. But you can get the right measurements. It helps if the prepared cup is left hermetic overnight to homogenize. Use sylicone oil just before you apply, because it acts against the glue. You have more control with glue than those expensive mediums, and can get the same results because you can apply gloss afterwords..

[@justplzme]

Is that okay to prepare glue with water at first and then mix this mixture with paint? I mean I can stir like crazy for glue and water and leave them a night before adding paint.

[@PouringArtExperience]

Yes you can prepare a glue/water mixture as a pouring medium

Glue is also thicker than floetrol so you will be adding small amounts of water at a time, I use Elmer's glue all purpose versus school glue

Thank you so much for explaining- I’m new to pouring & I love it! Still trying to get the ratios right for all the paints I’m using for a pour. This helps so much. I think I will try the glue since I normally use floetrol & it’s getting expensive.

[@cajunalaskan1858]

Hello from Alaska. Started pouring about 1 months ago I painted when I was a child and in high school and stopped when I had children it all with oil painted Landscape but I thought this looks awesome. so i try it , started with some of the videos that was useing glue mediums and so I bought the fluid art painting until I understood and learned how to do that I did realize it floetrol I tend to make my paint a little bit thinner because I'm used to working with glue and therefore i prefer using the medium with glue I seem to have more control of my paint I think is the best way to go if anybody in this comment thank you so much for being there for us

[@kimleduc1652]

Thank you so much I am learning a lot as I work my way through your videos. I have been pouring now for about three months and about 50 canvases. I am still struggling. Partly because my paint is too thick and very possibly because I use some house paint. I get the house paint for free from a recycle depot. But even when I try the craft paint my results have not always been that good. Sometimes I will get a good result from the house paint. Also I have run out of floetrol, also found it for free at the recycle depot. But I am not giving up I will soldier on. Thanks again for your very informative videos. I am a real fan.

[@PouringArtExperience]

Happy you like it and that it helps you understand the background. Housepaint can be tricky. The stuff in Europe that we wallpaint doesn't work. In the US seems to be different stuff. If you don't have floetrol use glue. But no matter what you use. Absolutely key factor is concistency. And you can do pour over pours you don't like as long as they are fully current 3-4 weeks

[@PJ-wt2zo]

I finally found real teaching videos. I had half bottle of glue and just added water in it to make it easy for adding the mix to paints. Is it ok or shall i do it exactly shown in the video?. Thank you so much for your great lessons.

[@PouringArtExperience]

You can add 1/3 glue to paint and then water. But prior you can also make the glue thinner. Its just a binder

Hi! I love the videos, thanks for all the info! I've seen where you have to use distilled water, but I don't see that in your video... do you think it's important? Thank you!

[@PouringArtExperience]

No it's not important. The water will be caught in the acrylic anyways what is like plastic. Only time I would do it is if you want to keep water at your workspace for a while or you premix paint that you want to keep. Then it's just to be safe. Cooking it is fine.

[@thenorthernpike4126]

hi I am on a budget and i use dollar store acrylic premix paint. when I make a medium with modpodge and flotrol it changes the colour of my paint from black to greay. will i keep the bright colours if i use clear elymers craft glue?

[@PouringArtExperience]

Floetrol is whitish. When its dry colour should be normal. But on a Budget i think glue is less eypensive and to use just 30% to painz is sufficient

[@neeldoshi9243]

What’s the best thing to make acrylic fluidy and what should be it’s proportion ?

Have a look at the basic playlist with background information on how and why. It's important to start there.

[@currentlyunavailable2140]

Again in love with this video. You are the only person who i have seen sharing a deep information of all the things needed for painting. Also you are the only one who i have seen responding to all the comments and question that viewers have.Thats what impressed me. I am just in the stage of learning Acrylic pouring. I have done couple of them and most of my friends loved it. I have one question and hope you would be able to help me. Can I start selling my paints. If so, what should i do before painting anything that i plan to sell. Is there any particular paint i need to buy and any particular varnish i need to use? Also where can i seel my paints and how?

[@PouringArtExperience]

First thanks for the compliment. Appreciate! If you want to sell first think what surface m canvas cheapest also normally don't look that great. Also the deeper one look better I think. Then your pouring medium should be archival. Paint can be whatever you like. Always make sure to provide all the information to the buyer ( for example gallery wrapped canvas grade 2, studio quality paint). Varnish I would wait until you know what the customer wants. Perhaps just spray protection or normal one or resin. Hope that helps

[@currentlyunavailable2140]
