Watch my other blending video here: • How to Blend Acrylic P...
Since I am doing besides acrylic pouring also abstract acrylic paintings, I received a lot of questions about how I blend my acrylic paints. This is a tutorial where I show 3 blending techniques with some tips and tricks, that I use for my acrylic paintings. I really hope this is helping you to blend and start diving into acrylic painting.
If you want to see these blending techniques in action, in my abstract paintings, then check out this playlist 😊: • EASY ABSTRACT PAINTING...

There will be more acrylic pouring tutorials, abstract acrylic paintings, experiments & techniques coming, if you like to follow me, you can subscribe to my channel and click the bell icon (so you will be notified whenever a new video is up). Also I’d very much appreciate any feedback. And of course I love to challenge myself, so if you have an idea, let me know in the comments and I’ll give it a try!
I am an acrylic pouring addict, without a doubt. Playing with colors, testing out new fluid art techniques, brands, sizes & collaborating with other abstract fluid artists; is the best. Since I started this journey I feel more balanced in my work and passion. If you see these fluid painting tutorials and feel like, this is something for me: go for it! The fun thing about fluid painting is, that even though you do exactly the same, the outcome is different everytime. Also everybody has a different view of composition, colorcombinations and the way of doing a technique, what makes and keeps it so interesting to watch. Thank you for watching and following me in my modern art journey!

A bit of water on the brush does the trick when it is drying. You can also use flow aid or a paint retarder that slows the drying time. Just water will do though!

Best tip for acrylics! Keep your brush wet, always wash it out after use. I also sometikes spray a lil bit of water on my canvas so the paint doesn't dry quick!
