Beautiful Shapes and Cells on Ceramic Tile (Flip Cup Acrylic Pour Painting)

Hah - this baby isn’t going to bend like my last attempt! Just try it paint - I got you beat on this one. I was so disappointed my last painting was spoiled by a bending canvas panel despite all my best efforts, so I am determined to try that color combo again and make it work.

You SHOULD be really-really-REALLY proud of it! Seems you've solved a problem with the warping. And that pour is wonderful. MORE!!!

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you, I do love it :-)

[@markallen1469]

Very nice. Love the color combination.... and love the glitter... after seeing a few pieces you've done with glitter I now have a collection of paints and glitter and I love adding them to my paintings..... thanks for sharing, it's always enjoyable...

[@AcrylicPouring]

And thank YOU for watching and appreciating the sparkles

[@patriciabust4339]

Love your tile, and will definitely try the glitter! Great idea. Thanks for sharing

[@AcrylicPouring]

Happy you like it Patricia

[@bigtimetorifan]

Ahhh gold, yes! A girl after my own heart ;-) I’ve only tried pouring masters 24k gold, which i like very much. Many of you may have already figured out what it took me a while to, but when I want the gold to not sink and I’m doing a flip cup I put the gold in first, at the bottom, so that when you flip it that’s the color that’s going to plop out very last and will be on the top and not get lost under the other colors.

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Love these colors.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thanks.

[@paulakelly9244]

So Debi, I used your colors and recipe today and they turned out gorgeous just like yours! I can't post pics yet but I will when I can if you want. Thank you for the help!

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you

[@kalayne6713]

Just gorgeous!!!!

[@avilonwalston1317]

That is stunning! I love the color combination! Cool cells!

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you Avilon

[@dynomax101]

On glorious pour cups...plates can be used for pour cups and often have glorious patterns too. But, the plates can be saved and hung.

[@lindascraftycreations428]

Really pretty.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thanks again Linda

[@Alchemy_Art_Designs]

STUNNING!!!! I'm off to buy some big tiles tomorrow and do some pours at the weekend- well done Deby!!👍

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you Kate

[@cjwoods2511]

Beautiful pour Deby❣️ I LOVE the glitter!! Thanks so much!😊💕

[@AcrylicPouring]

Bring on the sparkle!

[@barbarafigard6753]

Lovely pour --- gorgeous colors and effects. Thank you for sharing!

[@barbaraj2930]

This is absolutely beautiful. I love the colors you used and the way it turned out. I really do enjoy watching your videos.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you Barbara, I really enjoy making them

[@SuperPamelaJ]

Love it!!! Love the color combination.❤️❤️😊

[@helenelaine100]

Absolutely beautiful Deby! I saw your other video the other day and felt so bad about it warping. So happy your tile turned out so beautifully.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Never give up, there is always more paints and more surfaces to play with :-)

[@graemesingleton-hayden2326]

Hi Deby. I think this is your best soo far, your getting real good. . Keep 'em coming..... G

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you, its one of my favorites too. Wish I had done it much bigger!

[@graemesingleton-hayden2326]

Deby at Acrylic Pouring yeah always the way though. I did a lovely pour the other day, left aside to dry and then knocked another over only to fall face down in the first one...... errrrrrrr

[@AcrylicPouring]

So sorry. I know what you mean.Sometimes my work area is so full there is danger of a painting avalanche

[@craftycrafter1960]

Great stuff I want to try this, thanks!

[@AcrylicPouring]

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

[@keariewashburn4680]

Very nice😊

[@chattykathie7129]

This is my fav so far of the videos I watched, of yours!❤️❤️❤️

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you Kathie, I'm so happy that you liked it.

[@jenniferkearns3640]

wow heaps of faces in that one. I love it

[@StudioPashnada]

You are just cracking me up today!! This is really pretty -- love these colors together. You know, I always thought I wanted to live in Hawaii or something but I now know I'd hate it -- I need to be able to get art supplies NOW!!

[@AcrylicPouring]

Oh Hawaii is much, much bigger. I'm sure you'd be OK there. You should move, and then I could visit!

[@StudioPashnada]

Deby at Acrylic Pouring I'm going to become a grandmother in November. And already I think Oklahoma is too far away from Denver. So, while Hawaii was my favorite place I've been, I won't be going back to live there. Unless I can afford to move both my kids and my parents there LOL

[@alayagadeh3174]

Thats in a way psychodelic, interesting and beautiful. Nice how different colors appear in one cell. Yes the gold is fabulous! Good done! .) Yes when you hold the dried tile close to the cam we can see it good. Why dont you just go to the Windows with the cam, there is plenty of light which lets the colors and glitter show their vibrancy and shining?.)

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Gorgeous result. You are lucky your hub recognises your art. Mine doesn't 😔

[@AcrylicPouring]

Oh most of it he thinks is terrible, but he has learned to be appreciative if he wants anything from me.

[@sofiaceleste6299]

hermoso, muy lindo,me gusta mucho.

[@evangelinebernow9907]

I love your videos are those floor tiles

[@AcrylicPouring]

They are just regular 6 inch glossed bathroom tiles

[@annievan-maassen2751]

absolutely beautiful. : )

[@AcrylicPouring]

Thank you

[@bluecurlygirl]

FABULOUS. I've never tried acrylic pouring (in fact I don't have much experience with acrylics at all except in kids craft projects) but I sooo want to after watching some of your videos. Love this tile. I've a glass-topped patio table minus glass and I have a bucket of ceramic tiles that came off the wall. It'd make a beautiful top if it worked out and if it didn't - scrape it off and start again!! Would it be ok to cover them in resin to make them weather resistant? I live in Ireland. We get a lotta rain all year round - last summer we had one day of sunshine.

[@Emilyglasser-of9sc]

When I used to garden, I would apply lotion on my hands and that kept some of the dirt off. I wonder if that would work for you, being that you don't use gloves.🌻

[@paigeboswell2204]

Beautiful! So glad I found your vids, have almost watched them all and love that you also show the end product, varnished and all ready to go. I have never tried acrylic pouring before but I am going to try it on tiles. Do you gesso all your tiles first? Also do you paint the backs of the tiles as well, to make the back tidier? Thank you for sharing your projects with us ☺

[@AcrylicPouring]

For my practice and testing I don't gesso the tiles, but if you intend to use them for art, yes I recommend that you do. I finish the back with a piece of cork roll and then display them on mini easels. Look great on a desk or small home.

[@jdmosaics]

Well done Deby, a beautiful pour but Acrylic paint is not meant to go on Gloss ceramic tile, it is not permanent. When you say you would use them for coasters what product will you coat them with to seal them, make them heat and scratch proof? Congratulations on your Web site, blog and store set up, it is amazing how you have made a business out of learning an art genre!

[@AcrylicPouring]

These are usually only for playing around and testing, I'm not trying to make any masterpieces to be admired for years to come so I think it will be OK. I do use a number of layers of a good varnish and they seem to be well adhered, but as with a lot of aspects of this art, only time will tell about that. Thanks for the comments about my website. I do enjoy learning new skills and teaching what I learn and what doesn't work at the same time.

[@annahaywood7881]

Wow it's stunning, so pretty! A series of them is an excellent idea 😊. I've never thought about using tiles before, I think a raid of my boyfriend's garage is in order, I'm sure I've seen old tiles in there. How long did it take to dry?

[@AcrylicPouring]

Tiles do take longer than canvas, quite a bit longer. I would say 3 days but leave it longer to varnish, at least a week.

[@annahaywood7881]

Ok thank you.

[@willg54]

Hi Deby. Your designs are stunning. I am re-tiling my kitchen floor with ceramic tiles, and I want to acrylic paint a few and put some down. Do you think acrylic would stand up to the wear and tear of ceramic floor tiles. I would REALLY like to personalize my new tile floor with some tiles that I have created. Thanks in advance! :)

[@shannonattebery540]

Absolutely beautiful Deby I love it! Have you tried buying one of those prepaid Visa gift cards from a grocery store? You can use it to buy things online and you could order in the U.S., just a thought.

[@AcrylicPouring]

We don't have those in our country Shannon, but thanks for the suggestion.

[@shannonattebery540]

Oh bummer it was worth a try.🙃😊

[@vanmeertan]

can you make a "skin" from the bottom of the cups?? it won't peel out?? bummer, cuz those cup bottoms ARE cool!!!

[@joyceboyce863]

I am finding such a fascination with poured acrylics and this video was just mesmerizing. So if a person would like to use the finished ceramic tile as a coaster, do you think the heat resistant spray varnish that is used on car parts would work? I think I'd finish the back side with a coaster tile so furniture surfaces wouldn't get scratched. Comments please. Thank you!

[@AcrylicPouring]

I'm still testing to find the right varnish to finish them as coasters that doesn't go sticky with a hot mug. But that heat resistant spray is one I am testing now.

[@ЛюдмилаЛиз]

Необыкновенно. Очень красиво. А что Вы используете для достижения такого эффекта и игры красок?

[@AcrylicPouring]

Если вы переходите по ссылке на мой сайт, вся информация и инструкция есть. Возможно, вам придется использовать Google Translate, потому что я могу говорить только по-английски в своих видео.

[@paulakelly9244]

Beautiful, Debi! What additives and/or mediums did you use? I watched the video twice but didn't catch what you used.

[@AcrylicPouring]

Ah sorry, the mix was mentioned in the earlier video, the project that went wrong. I used 2 parts paint, 1 part floetrol, about 1 part water or a little less as needed, plus a couple of drops of silicone in each color. Hope that helps.

[@paulakelly9244]

Thank you yes. I will try tomorrow with your recipe!

[@nancymassey221]

Beautiful!❤️ what’s in your magic ingredient?

[@mslaural007]

Nancy Massey she said it was just floretrol and glitter. The floretrol dries clear so only the glitter shows.

[@nancymassey221]

Peaches007 thank you!

[@fortheloveofart82]

Deny were they opaque , translucent or a mix thanks Pam

[@AcrylicPouring]

These were a bit of all sorts today. I think I hit on a nice color combo for once.

[@moniquegalmiche7132]

colors are beautifull..... what is the name of blue ?

[@AcrylicPouring]

This is the violet from Blick Acrylics in their student range here - www.dickblick.com/products/blickrylic-student-acrylics/ It's gorgeous!

[@betty20616]

How did you varnish this tile?

[@leannelongwill86]

Do you coat tiles with anything after they've cured for a while?

[@AcrylicPouring]

Yes I do. I like to use a clear protective finish - this one I write about on the blog - acrylicpouring.com/recommended-protective-finish-paintings/

[@deb50duncan]

Where do you live?

[@AcrylicPouring]

I'm British originally but at the moment I live in the Cayman Islands. I've traveled quite a bit and love it here because the sun always shines and the water is warm.

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

I find boards disasterous. Never use them again.

[@AcrylicPouring]

I've had mixed results, some of my nicest have been on boards and then sometimes this nonsense happens.
