I normally paint it first like an undercoat then I do the pouring it comes out nicer and thank you for the tip on using photo paper to catch the left overs so now I can do something else with it. Thank You sweetie and your stones came out beautiful.😊

Hello Bridget, this is an amazing Acrylic pouring lesson, I had no idea how to do this, and you have explained this technique so well. I cannot wait to try this myself. Thank you.

Thank you Claire 😊 it’s great to have feedback.

[@StaceySteeleOG]

Hello! Amazing art. I have a couple Q’s…. Why do we use the glue? And why do we use the oil? And what if we don’t torch it? Bubbles won’t pop?

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hi Stacey, thank you for your comment. Great questions! I will answer them as it works for me, this may not be true for all. The answers are quite technical so I will keep it simple. I use glue as a pouring medium to extend, bind and increase the flow of the paint which dries clear with no residue. You can buy pouring medium but they can be expensive. I use the oil to create cells, or small bubbles, in the paint. The cells are created because oil and water do not mix When you torch the heat breaks the surface of the paint and allows other colours to rise. This creates real magic into your art as you get to see the amazing cells break and patterns occur. The bubbles really to have to be torched out because they can create defects and holes in your art when it dries. Hope this helps. 😃

[@pamquinn4121]

Wonderful idea! I hate to waste paint as well and collect my drippings, often the designs are more interesting and way cooler than the paintings because they are mixed up more and the combinations are endless. I made coasters and magnets. Thanks for sharing : )

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hi Pam, thanks for your comment. I agree the drippings can be so cool. 💙

[@sandrahogan3260]

Love you art

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Thank you 😊

[@DWileyOne]

I would recommend that you paint one of the "paint pour" colors on the entire bottom of the rock and let it dry ... before you do the actual pour. That way the underside of the rock will not look "unfinished" (as you showed your two samples). Just a suggestion.😊

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Thank you that’s a great idea. I will do that👏😊

[@rosemarycarley2948]

Great idea. Thanks

[@barbaragalliera9846]

Love this idea. I hate an unfinished rock. Couldn’t figure out how to this. Thanks for the info

[@ismathatim1742]

Lovely good job

[@ladykfilmartproductions273]

Great idea. You could paint bottom white. Let dry. When the whole thing is done you could sign the bottom and write a short inspirational message or whatever..... :-)

Hi Bridget! I'm clearly late to this fun ad amazing party, but so happy I found you!! I can't wait to start! I'm sorry I may have missed this, but do you add the PVA glue to the white paint too? I know you said you don't put the oil in the white paint but wasn't sure if I needed to add the glue? Your work is truly beautiful and amazing, thank you so much for sharing. I've subscribed!! Yay!!

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hi Anne, sorry I missed your comment. Yes I do add the glue to the white paint but no oil to the white as instructed. Have fun and thank you for your comments and subscribing to my channel. 🥰

[@aparnamitra215]

Thank you Bridget to share your wonderful work. Please explain the purpose of silicon oil and where can I buy it. Thanks heaps.

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Thank you so much for your comment about my work. Silicone oil is a greasy, non-drying oil-like substance. I add a drop or so to my paints after mixing and preparing. Once the paints are combined and poured onto the platform, the silicone rises to the surface creating circular holes (called cells) revealing the layers underneath. Silicone oil is mainly used for lubricating equipment such as treadmills in the gym. You can also use coconut hair serum/oil but it must contain the special ingredient of Dimethicone. I use both the hair oil (which tends to make bigger cells) you can buy from you local pharmacy and Pebeo Silcone Oil (which makes smaller cells) which you can get from your local craft shop or Amazon. I hope this answers your question. 😀

Just wondering what is the purpose of the glue?

[@sharonvsouthwell]

What does the silicone oil do you put in please x

[@FloridaBeachesToTheBeringSea]

Please explain the purpose of the torch and is it absolutely needed? Beautiful idea and am excited to try it.

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hi Karen, thank you for your comments. You do not have to torch. The reason for torching is to release any air bubbles in the paint and also it creates the wonderful cell patterns. My preference is to torch as I love the effect it creates when the cells appear. Hope this helps you. 😊

[@Mr_Existentialist]

You can use silicone oil in dropper to form cells.

[@natureswrapture3922]

Was this white transparent, semi, or opaque. This set of pebbles are gorgeous!

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hiya, the white is opaque. Amsterdam acrylic paint titanium white no. 105. Hope this helps. 😀

@@bridgetwinterbourne Thank you!

[@mylenefarmer7204]

Do you clean off the silicone before applying the varnish?

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hi Mylene, it’s probably a good idea to gently wipe the stones with a baby wipe to remove any excess oil. Thank you for your comment 😊

[@susanduplan8702]

They are lovely. How do you finish the back where it is bare?

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hi Susan, thank you for your comment. You can buy sticky back felt in all different colours. I cut a small piece to fit the back of the pebble, peel off the backing and stick it on. It’s great and finishes off the pebble nicely. 😊

[@vomg5204]

I rather liked seeing the true colour of the pebble, shows its ho.e made

[@carolmoore6207]

Where did you get the stones from? You mentioned that you can get them in bags?

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hi Carol, I get the stones from our local builders merchants here in Cornwall, UK. They come in a big bag which is heavy! They are all different sizes so some may be too small to use so I put them on the beach. I hope that helps you and you can find a source. 😊

[@dallas010866]

I love this, where can I find the stones?

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hi Stacey, I bought the stones from a local builders merchant in Cornwall. They came in a big sack. It was full of different sized pebbles that had been sourced from Scotland I think! Some of them were a bit too small, so I put them back on our local beach. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. 😀

[@montysonthemove398]

What does the glue do ?

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Hi Doug, a great question! The glue acts as a pouring medium to help the paint flow correctly with the right consistency. It thickens up the acrylic paint so that when the cells are formed they retain their shape whilst moving and drying. I hope this makes sense. Bridget 😀

[@sosure]

is glue the same as a MEDIUM???

[@bridgetwinterbourne]

Yes the glue is the same as a pouring medium. 😊
