Gold White and Blue Geode Acrylic Paint Pour

[@sushigilmour9336]

Gorgeous. Can you tell me how much floetrol you added?

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you so much! I don't do an exact measurement but I usually do about 2/3 floetrol to 1/3 acrylic paint...plus usually a little splash of water at the end. The mixture changes depending on the brand of paint, and craft paints vs. heavy body acrylic. I have some videos where I show you how I mix my paint if you are interested. Here is one of those: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2PNdYh8j8-Veas (My "How To Paint A Geode" video)

Thank you very much!

It’s a beautiful work. So calming. I don’t see the gold, but a tasteful gold would be the only thing I would wish for. Buts it’s gorgeous the way it is.

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you so much, Sheila! It's hard to tell that it's gold until you get up close. It's that sort of brown/khaki color :) I think when I add a varnish or enamel it will bring it out more. Thank you for watching!

[@amerusan3341]

Really fabulous. can you make a video on the consistency. I can never get the right one. either too thin or too thick . Thanks ❤️

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Yes, I actually have a video on how I make the geodes! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2PNdYh8j8-Veas Thank you for watching :D

[@gailvanryswyk3234]

This is so effective . Fantastic

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you! I appreciate it :)

[@marypatlevitt823]

Love this one

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you!! So glad you like it ☺

[@marypatlevitt823]

Can you tell us more about you paint consistency and how you avoided cells?

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Hi! I have a tutorial on how I paint pour geodes here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2PNdYh8j8-Veas To avoid cells, you will want to mix your paint and then let it sit for awhile before using (that lets the air bubbles work their way out). Also I recommend pouring carefully and closer to the canvas to avoid it splashing down and forcing more air into the paint (making more cells). There is always a chance for cells when using metallic colors in pours, and some pouring mediums create more than others. It's a little trial and error :)

[@berniceseigel6482]

Great realistic pour!

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you!!

[@usherl250]

Beautiful pour, definitely add some glitter stripes, just a little. Beautiful

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Good idea! I recently found some beautiful chunky glitter that I want to use soon ;)

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Hi Laura! I just scheduled another geode video for 2PM EST this Friday and I did some glitter stripes this time!!

[@fatimashinyashiki2005]

Completamente apaixonada pelos seus vasos. Preciso aprender urgente, rsrsr. Muito lindos.

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Obrigada! A parte divertida disso é brincar com a pintura e ser criativo. Não precisa ser perfeito, você só precisa começar!

[@jamiehager956]

Wow great work!!! Looks wonderful! I like the red Lake Superior agates, that would look cool on a black canvas I think

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you so much! And YES that is on my list because I love those too!

[@Kathy-Carr]

That is beautiful!!!

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you!!

BEAUTIFUL!

Thank you Julia!

[@alisaparrish2456]

Absolutely my favorite geode pour painting on KZbin (and I've watched far more than I care to admit). You didn't over work it and I love that you left negative space. Perfection! Hoping I can successfully duplicate it. 🤞

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you SO much Alisa! I am going to be trying another one coming up and I hope I can duplicate it too, haha! I have done a few little ones too and the combo of puddle pour and tree ring pour layers seem to work pretty well! Let me know how it goes when you try it :D Wishing you tons of luck and fun with it!

[@ArtbyBrooke]

A little update for you, I have another geode video coming out at 2PM EST this Friday ;) Can't wait for you to see!

[@bluebiegrace1828]

So pretty, Brooke.

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you!

[@kimkort-kkartcreations6825]

I have watched this over and over again and I love it so much. What did the dried painting look like? Do you resin on top or varnish? Thanks

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you love it! I haven't ventured into doing resin on my pieces, to be honest it scares me a little! But I love the shine. I really like Liquitex gloss or matte varnish, and sometimes use Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel spray (which I think I might have used on this one once it was dry). I have some photos on my Instagram from when it was dry. This first one was I believe before it was sealed: instagram.com/p/BscAJF1DDGf/?igshid=17nb7qpd0v070 and this second one shows it hanging at an artist's marketplace (swipe to see it a little closer): instagram.com/p/Buet40Uh89z/?igshid=c3h4ivp0bx1m

[@markallen1469]

Turned out great!! Was a bit unsure abt the orange and white mix.. looked peachy in the cup but not so much on canvas... dont like peach! lol... have a great afternoon!

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you Mark! I was unsure about that mix too, it's definitely not my go-to color choice! I appreciate you watching :D

[@terilemaster4405]

That’s so pretty! What white paint do you use for the canvas?

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you so much! I often use Artist's Loft Flow Acrylic White but have heard their newer batches aren't the same as they used to be. I have a backstock of the previous recipe so I haven't tried the new kind yet. I also like Liquitex Basics Titanium White ( amzn.to/3VIAyjo ) though that can be pricey. I haven't used it a ton, but if you are looking for a craft white, I love DecoArt Americana Multi-Surface Satin (bottle looks like this, but in their white: amzn.to/3P8bCPz ). I have heard recommendations to NOT use Apple Barrel white, it sounds like people have trouble with it cracking as it dries. (As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases using my links)

[@terilemaster4405]

@@ArtbyBrooke are you able to use wall paint if it’s mixed with something?

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Yes! I have used wall paint quite a few times. I mix it with Flood Floetrol and get it to the consistency I mix my other paints to. Just be sure it's not a weird wall paint like an oil based or something, I personally don't know if that would work or not.

Is that white paint that you spread across the canvas in the first step?

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Yep! White paint mixed with floetrol and a little bit of water :)

[@emilyanne2188]

BRAVO! I don’t think you should add any kind of additional “pizzaz” to your geode pours. I’m a crystal healer, check out some Celestine geodes, and citrine as well also any Jasper!!! (Ocean jasper is my fave). This looks like REAL geodes. Also, your color choices are fantastic- seems like you’re familiar with color theory which is important in fluid art I have found. Defined POV, keep it up!!!!

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I will definitely check them out!
