ONLY WATER - Acrylic Pour Painting for Small Budgets - Step by Step

For my current acrylic pouring I only use water and acrylic paints - no pouring medium or other additives! Together with just four colors, a fascinating work of art is created. You want to try the acrylic pour painting yourself, but don't want to spend a lot of money - then this idea is just right for you!
I used four beautiful acrylic paints from Royal Talens Amsterdam:
Titanium white
Oxide black
Green Blue
Azo yellow deep
In addition a canvas 40 x 40 cm or 15.74 x 15.74 inches.
My color recipe is very simple - two parts water to three parts paint.
For the bright colors it was 40g water (1.41oz) and 60g paint (2.11oz)
I needed a little more for the white - I used 80g (2.82oz) water and 120g (4.23oz) paint
As a casting technique, I decided to use the paint-kiss technique, which is very simple with exciting results. Here you can find another Paint-Kiss video from me: • Paint Kiss painting wi...
But now have fun with the pouring video and if you haven't already done so, I look forward to a subscription or a nice comment.

Thank you. That was fantastic. No chatter. Showed a beginner how to create a pour from start to finish.

[@sarahm.8385]

Super helpful! Now I feel like this is something that is realistically in my budget :) thank you 💜

[@possumbold]

Unfortunately it doesn’t work well with cheaper paints. If Amsterdam is within your budget - great. Just remember you use so much extra paint 50mls to 30mls water. The cheaper paints don’t have enough pigment. I hope you have lots of lovely paintings if you can find a cheaper paint that works. Floetrol is much cheaper to use than so much paint. 120mls of white paint for just the basecoat is one full tube.

[@sarahm.8385]

@@possumbold Thank you for the tips 💜 Much appreciated 🖤💕🖤

[@brindahirpara2932]

@Rael Picot Yes you are completely right... I tried this with cheap paints and used so much paint [full 60ml tube] then also this didn't work....better you do a good investment by buying expensive pouring medium with is worth it.

[@HeatherMaderArt]

What people don't realize, is that you have to use so much more paint when you just use water. (And paint is the most expensive part) Also, Amsterdam is a high quality paint.....donr try this with budget paints or craft paints or you will not get these good of results upon drying.

[@Tiktusart]

Hy Sarah, have fun trying it out 🙃 and the other comments: The video is primarily aimed at people who want to paint a picture or two themselves. Most casting media are only available in large containers. This is only worthwhile for people who regularly paint pictures.

Blown away by all that you create. I am going to do my first pour tonight.

[@nicolek.5429]

Tried this yesterday on a wood tray and it came out perfect! So glad I didn’t spend money on resin, it came out exactly how I wanted. Going to try it on a canvas next to match my room I’m redecorating. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[@ryankeyes871]

Hi how did the acrylic remain so glossy please?

[@CristinaB228]

I'm trying it on a piece of wood too, wish me luck!

[@apieceofmymind1774]

This is actually what I was looking for. I don't want cells on my painting. I just don't like the look of it. Thank you for this video.

[@destinywolf1lol613]

Cells are scary to me

[@prchix]

Same!! I think they look tacky. All the videos I watch are all about the cells 🙄

[@crohnscroonerandcats8072]

I don't know why, but they are just fascinating to me, & then knowing the chemistry behind how they can even possibly form, when it's actually a scientific thing, not an art thing. I wasn't very good in science so it's just one of those weird things I appreciate, especially when I'm trying hard to get cells & want them to look a certain way. I also love regular acrylic painting & blending on a canvas. It's always interesting to see what other people like or don't like. 🎨🖌

[@yvette_is_Mamacado]

A fellow trypophobe 👋 LOL please know that I'm not insulting you. I'm the same but not as triggered as some get. For psalm it is a horrible emotional. Condition. I understand as I react to a few things that way. Hopefully it won't worsen with age. Yikes!

[@yvette_is_Mamacado]

@@prchix I appreciate them in certain forms but it seems that cells cells cells have become the definition of acrylic pouring. And i m h o Pearl cells are the worst! I say that to you because those are the ones I find very tacky. And my paintings it's about vibrant beautiful flowing color! Emphasis on vibrant! LOL

[@jennystirrup6377]

I have just found your videos they are great, what I would like to ask I noticed when you first pour the paint it made some really nice tube shapes before you manipulated it over the board, can these shapes be kept, or do you always have to spread the paint over the board, I hope I made sense.

That looks amazing! I think once it dries, the paint is no longer shiny, is that right? What do you do once it's dried, do you varnish it in any way?
