Acrylic Pour Painting: Double Flip Cup Summer Days

Hi guys today, I'm going to do a double flip cup and my theme today is summer because today is summer It's going to be hot here today. I'm I'm doing this painting in the morning I want to do this before it gets warm. I have an open-air workshop studio It's not air-conditioned, and I noticed there is an effect on the paint when the temperature is high So let me show you what I'm going to do I have my normal 12 by 12 canvas here, and I'm going to create two separate dirty pours When the weather's warm, I usually add a few drops more of water to thin it down I notice in warm weather it'll thicken up quick It'll develop a skin over the paint more quickly. I Keep it covered with plastic until I'm ready to use it So I just uncovered these and I'm going to create a pour of different blues first And if you want to know what colors I'm using I have them in the description below. I'm using some different paint brands today So I have three different blues And This set of blues is going to get some white in it. I Have I put a few drops of silicone in each color? But I don't put silicone in the white. It's just my method of working The white tends to sink to the bottom with a pour But it still has an effect okay, there's the blue. This is a 10 ounce cup I just did it about halfway because I'm going to do Two of these so I don't need to fill it up. This will be plenty of paint for half half the canvas Okay now I'm going to create my second dirty pour I have a gold here. I'm thinking of water and earth Ground and sky something like that. I like the combination of warm and cool This is a nice chocolate brown And With this one. I'm going to add a little bit of black I'm going to get too carried away with the black. Let me see do I have enough now, okay? There's That should be enough So now I'm going to set this canvas off to the side just for a second wipe Splashes off I have a piece of cardboard that I'm sitting on my yogurt cups here And I'm going to set The two pours right here, and this is how you do a flip if you haven't seen this before You can do it with one cup, but I'm gonna Do this with two today Put my hand up here And the reason I have the cardboard lifted off the table is so I can get my hand underneath easily. I'm gonna flip it Don't need cardboard anymore Make sure my canvas is sitting there don't need to wait a long time now here we go You Spread this is a version of my double dirty landscape pour which I've done a couple of videos of it's keeping these colors separated and it kind of creates a Horizon line which is why I call it a landscape tilt this around see it's What I'm doing is I want to reach the edges with it, but don't want to lose too much I like this black right here, so I'm gonna let it tilt, but try not to lose it See tilt to get the edge and then go back Get it. I'm gonna keep turning this so you can see it Now the only thing left I have to do is to reach this corner. It's not covered Let's see my paints already starting to get a little sluggish because it's warm So you got to keep your temperatures in mind. There's so many variables climate humidity temperatures Okay, so I got coverage now. I just want to look at my horizon line and see what I want to do to make it interesting I'm gonna. I want this black to come back, so I'm gonna Tilt until I see something Interesting as far as the this landscape line So there's some there's some interesting things going on here on both notes a lot of times When you do two separate colors one will become more interesting than the other I like both here I like these browns and golds, and I like the blue very interesting This is kind of neat the way it's this brown set has come over here So I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of let Let these be equal partners here in this I don't see any reason to Let one run off more than the other. I like what's happening. This has a watery look This has an earthy look There's silicone in here, I'm not going to use the torch today, I only do it if there's Not enough cell action, but if it's if it's if I'm getting cell action on its own without the torch Then I don't use the torch So I've got a nice variety here So there's my summer painting and again If you have hot temperatures just just keep in mind that you might need to add a little bit more water to your paint Stir it right before you use it because if it's sitting there very long. It'll develop a skin over it So there's my painting, and I will show the dried version on Instagram And I hope this helps you with some ideas happy summer and happy pouring and have fun. We'll see you next time
