The WD-40 Effect | Acrylic Pour Painting

If you want to have nice cells in your pictures, just use WD 40! So that it works well, but you should note a little thing. The secret, so that not too many cells arise, the WD 40 comes only in the white color, stir well, so that many small cells arise and enjoy.
In the orange on the left and the darker blue below there are even nice net cells.
If you liked it, then I look forward as always to a nice comment or a thumbs up.
Thanks and creative greetings

I used to spray the inside of the cup with WD-40, swirl it around to cover the inside of the cup and then turn it upside down to let it drain out. Then I added my paints...worked great for dirty pours.

It is not. There's no such thing either. These guys are a large community putting it all out here for the love of the POUR !!! They don't keep a whole hell of a lot of 'trade secrets'. In fact, paint pouring is the new digital Haight Ashbury with paint not L. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know, I crack myself up, huh!?! Its a big, free bunch of people all over the world. And they're not holding much back 😔😅😊😂

[@Itsadarknight]

I would not put paint pouring and Artist in the same sentence

[@saturnslastring]

@@Itsadarknight that's a matter of personal preference. Generally I lump art into two groups. People who create things with artistic intention and things that evoke an emotional response in the viewer. Acrylic pour art can be both of those things, ergo art. I paint botanical water colors, but I see that there is technique and mastery in acrylic pour art. Anyone can do it, but so what?

[@streamofconsciousness5826]

Looks like a NASA image, and how perfect those circle are. How did you get three cups of paint into two?

[@fonepixie]

The last year or so ive been watching your vids, and others using similar techniques ,and i always wondered if WD40 would do the same as silicone oil.. i have no clue where to buy that, or flotrol, but thanks to you, i know this will work! thank you!!!!

[@valsilva6346]

[@MarkPenn-bv9hk]

Floetrol at a hardware store or home depot. Silicone oil at the dollar store or Micheal's crafts store or a sports store but more expensive there.

Your works can calm me down fantastically, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and I look forward to more beautiful works of art. I have just one question please, please dilute the colors with water and add something else to the color so that the final effect is such a beautiful shiny picture??? Thank you master, of course I LIKE!...

Bonjour, une question ... Pourquoi du w40 ? Cela apporye quoi ? Plus pluide, plus de brillant , sechage + rapide ???? En comparaison de sans le w40....🤔

[@maureenshannon1525]

Is this just acrylic paint or did you thin it with something?

[@kjc69]

How long does this take to dry & can it be incorporated on other surfaces other than canvas?

[@ruby2411]

Apparently paint varnish can be used as well. They turn out well but there are smaller and more regular cells. If the paint is thick, you can drag the pain across the canvas and the cells will start to form.

[@netterfranke43]

Great, I've been looking for something like this for a long time, it looks really great, one question please, what are the colors blue and orange diluted with because they are so thin? Regards, Gerhard

[@karenmclaughlan9128]

Dilute with a little water

[@rosemaryclark610]

I would think any oil would work, because it's the interaction between the water-based paint and the oil that makes the cells. But I'm wondering if it will affect the resin finish and it's ability to stick to the painting, and whether it affects how long the paintings stay nice. Does anybody know?

[@cyndilouwho]

Yes. So firstly, silicone and silicone based oil is the only oil you should use. Things like cooking oils dont work so well. And the reason to use only a little is because of the residue when the paint dries. The silicone oil sits on top of the painting. If COMPLETELY dry, a dry paper towel first, followed by a LIGHTLY misted-in-isopropyl alcohol paper towel will remove the residue. Be sure to carefully rub the oil off and not destroy the paint. Then, any gloss latex, acrylic, or epoxy resin finish can be applied without issue.

[@cyndilouwho]

To clarify, some people have also used coconut milk hair serums. But one of the top ingredients is silicone oil. I have always used very cheap, generic silicone lubricant sprays and i take the spray nozzle off so its just the plastic pipe and i can control drops.

[@rosemaryclark610]

@@cyndilouwho Thanks! :)

[@paultucker3789]

Beautiful, what brand of acrylic paint did you use?

[@cyndilouwho]

@@paultucker3789 i typically use cheaper, craft paint like Apple Barrel & Folk Art but recently have switched to Arteza. They are much better quality. No matter the quality, the importance really is in 1) consistency over everything. You're looking for a runny pancake batter. And 2) color choices and color coordination

[@winnies8576]

Just curious if the WD40 will erode the canvas over time or does your piece keep well with time? :) this looks really cool

[@cruzacalles]

You can use mineral spirits or even turpentine for the same effect.

[@kaeliss333]

... That's yet another use for WD-40

[@audreyd2799]

This was great! What do you use to clean the WD-40 off the canvas after its dry?

[@emmorgan6402]

Will there be WD-40 left on it after it dries?

[@lostmypassword1]

Yes it will come to the surface. Remove with alcohol on soft cloth being careful to work quickly as not to remove any of the paint

[@daphnerodriguez9980]

AMAZING THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME

[@endscreen1shorts478]

Hi, is there any protection for acrylic paints, I would like to paint rubber fish with an airbrush, those fish will go into the water, so I need some silicone that mixes with acrylic paints and is sticky, which would stick to the rubber fish when I'm painting, any answer would be great, thanks

I use dollar general's generic brand of silicone garage-door lubricant, usually in the car aisle. For like $3. And only using a drop to a few drops at a time, it lasts forever.

[@user-ei1eo7sb1i]

I used that a couple of months ago it was the only silicone in the house

[@shereenostruske7671]

Was the paint thinned with water? And if so what are the ratios?

[@andrehatlo4681]

Can someone please answer this question 😅

[@lostmypassword1]

40g paint Amsterdam brand is one of the best, 40g distilled water, 40g Amsterdam pouring medium. Use a gram scale to weigh for best results.

[@KIPS123]

Did you mix the paint first with water ?

[@RyanSpendlove]

But does it ever dry?? If so how long?

[@user-he8il5tm8v]

How’d you get the gloss finish?

[@kamaljung2672]

To seal it u just pour the resin after a day ?

[@lostmypassword1]

Resin after letting is dry completely for 2-3 weeks. Surface dry in a few days but still water underneath

[@rich333m]

In your opinion silicone or wd-40

[@qwertyytrewq8638]

@dogginbebe3511 My friend, I'm not sure if you are aware of this but lemme fill you in on a little secret....art is art....regardless if it's lazy or energetic, colorful or black and white, big or small, glossy or matte, expensive or inexpensive or whether it took 5 minutes or 5 months.... it's all art... everything is art if you think about it....its personal sentimental value or it's monetary value applies to only the artist and the consumer....you may think it's cheap and lazy, but to someone else, that same piece of art, someone could have bid $1.5 million at an auction simply because they love art. Obviously you aren't truly an aesthetic individual....

[@qteapi3589]

How long does this take to dry, in comparison to without WD-40?

[@cyndilouwho]

Not answering for Tiktus, but for me, it always depends on how thick the paint was when stretched, and the temperature. I live in a high climate, mostly dry heat all the time. But we get some muggy, cold days so my pours usually take 30-48 hrs to dry. Havent seen much difference using silicone oil, except when i used too much and the painting wasnt well done anyway. Definitely only use 1-3 drops or 1-3 short spray bursts when using any silicone oils/lubricants
