Acrylic Pour Painting- Double Blown Flower Pour With Fun Colored Edges.

Hi paint pouring people before I get started today. I wanted to read you a comment from one of my viewers This is Karen Zimmer. She says dear Karen your way of art opened my whole mind Never believed in in me until I found you you caused the creation of a new me love Karen from Germany Well Karen from Germany. I really appreciate it. I I really appreciate that comment a lot I have gotten similar comments over time for people from people who have started painting because of pouring and it's really been amazing how These paint pouring techniques have given people the incentive and the courage and the excitement To believe in themselves and that they could actually try this The video that Karen commented on was one of my flower blowing techniques and the flower Techniques have been kind of a segue for a lot of people to believe in themselves, but they can actually do this It's a simple technique. It's fun So in honor of Karen and all those others out there who I have heard from or maybe I haven't heard from I'm gonna do a flower painting today, and we're gonna revisit this blowing technique. It's a lot of fun It's easy, and if you haven't tried it well. Here's a good reason to start so I want to show you what I Did yesterday I Often practice on watercolor paper. I did these yesterday, and I was working out the colors I wanted to use I have watercolor paper on my Amazon shopping list. I really use it a lot It's one of my secret weapons a lot of people don't think they can do Paintings or as on watercolor paper, but it really works well It's just a it's just a great tool to have in your arsenal, and I'm gonna be using Arteza Canvas today these are I'm gonna be doing two canvases today. They're 12 by 12 They're made by Arteza really good canvases again. They're on my shopping list Here is another thing I did Because I can I painted each side a different color It's unconventional But it's fun, and it just it just shows that you can do whatever you want with with your artwork. You don't have to Remain In the conventional sense I started doing these different colors a few years ago because I wanted my paintings to be fun I don't do it every single time, but I wanted to show you this today and What I did here. This is this is not the pouring paint. This is straight acrylic paint It goes on easier it might take two coats You can paint these edges just for something a little different It'll dry in just a few minutes Maybe 15-20 minutes, and you can go right on and move on with your paint pour. There's no rules So here's more proof. There's no rules do this and amaze your friends So let's get started I Like starting these these blown flowers with a wet white background And I'm using my own line of happy medium paint ready to pour We'll go through these colors that I'm going to use today, but anyway, let's let's get started with the wet white background It takes a little practice to know how much I've certainly poured too much. I've poured not enough There's no actual measurement, but I'm gonna spread this white around With my hands. I want full coverage so when I do the the flowers The flowers will be able to move freely over this wet surface And I also don't care if the white goes over onto the edges. I do like edges I do like the pour to go over the edge. It's part of the look of this type of painting So even though I painted the edges. I don't care about what happens I Want some of this color to go over the edge and some of the flower colors will make sure it goes over the edge Okay, there's the white Now I'm gonna use a touch of this is one of my pearls called blue bird One of the things I was trying to work out in these two watercolor I mean watercolor paper paintings was do I want a blue background or a gold I? like both So I'm gonna use both This this blue here. I think was a little too much again. It's just something I worked out Decision I made it's just personal preference. Let me set these aside so what I'm doing here is Whatever color you use here first is going to affect your flowers, so I want to keep this to a minimum There's some blue I'm gonna go across with gold as well This is really more blue than I wanted but That's the way stuff goes sometimes it works out for the best I'm gonna spread it around to make it look a little more natural Let it flow up and down And you'll see when these flowers are done That this these colors will affect your flowers some But what I'm shooting for here is just something other than just plain white That's my whole purpose here. It's just a little more interesting than plain white So you can see when I smear this around. It's it's a lot More subtle I'm gonna wipe some of this blue off Okay, now. I'm ready for the flowers. This is gonna be a puddle pour. I've chosen my colors On my on my happy medium paints, it's got it's paint. It's pouring medium It's got silicone in it if you're not familiar with my new line of paint It's ready to pour all I have to do is shake it up before I use it and start pouring And once I shake it up. It doesn't need to be constantly shaken. I just do it like it's been sitting a while So I'm gonna work on both canvases at once This is raspberry shake puddles This will be these two will be larger flowers This pink is called flamingo. I love it. It's a bright pink Okay, that was sunflower yellow. I'm gonna come back with some white And this size will increase once I blow the flowers out So you want to be careful and not overdo the pour? What I'm going to do now is start a new flower down here This one's gonna go across both canvases. You'll see what happens there Now I'm introducing another color. This is Aztec orange. I'm going to just use it on this one. It's a pearl Come back with some flamingo here and here See I'm gonna stop right there. I can always add more flowers as this develops. I'm ready now. Here's my straw drinking straw Okay decision time these these need to be bigger You can always add to this. This is just a back and forth I see I want I want more strength up here, so I'm gonna add more of this raspberry shake color You can always change things add to them It's a process of seeing what it is you like What they might need This one down here looks like it needs something I'm gonna leave this one pink and yellow You Okay, let me look and see what I want to do this one's getting a nice size to it Okay, I'm gonna I'm looking at some empty areas I'm gonna add some a small flower here There's the flamingo and some more sunflower yellow These look good together I'll see how that looks Small flower one more small flower down here, and then I'm gonna go to some green after that Pink raspberry white in this one There's a small flower Now I'm gonna make this one a lot bigger I see it needs to come this way, and I also want it to I want this one to run over the edge Little bit of pink and then we'll see where that goes Now we got some action on this one, which is actually kind of fun. It's different than the others I like this one the way it is This is a you got a couple small ones. You've got one bridging over here and another one. That's slightly different So I'm going to go to the green now and see where it takes us. This is green green It's just a nice straight leafy green and I'm Going to be careful and not pour too much If you're not comfortable pouring out of the bottle you can pour this into a cup and you have maybe a little more control But I'm just gonna go for it here and see not going for Realism here. It's just kind of a fun look of some greenery. That's going to be threaded throughout and connecting some of these flowers And on these I'm not gonna blow these I'm gonna use my candy apple stick Which is one of my favorite tools, and I'm gonna drag some of this green around so it looks leafy. It looks like stems but it's not Exact anything. It's just gives you the impression of of the green stuff that runs through It's starting to tie these flowers together a little more. There's too much green there See it's starting to look like something even though I'm just really Doing kind of random stuff here But it does tie it start to tie this together. I need some green on this one. I'm just gonna steal it from over here Give that flower a reason an anchor Now we'll go over to this one do the same thing Just moving things around sort of making leaf shapes not too worried about it. This is very abstract And have some running up here and steal I got a big puddle here. I'll just steal it and drag it up here What the heck? You want this to look spontaneous? People will appreciate it when they see how fun how much fun you're having so I Love my stick. It's a very primitive way of Painting Okay, I like to add some black, but I don't want to get Pour too much, so I'm gonna pour some into a cup so I can control it a little and I'm gonna add black centers to these flowers Smaller ones don't need much But hey if it comes out a little bit more than you just go with it This one will be interesting. I'm gonna bridge Canvas with that now go a little center in this big one And this one Now I'm gonna blow on these gently You can see the color started mixing Which is nice. I just gave it a few gentle blows another thing you can do is go Just drag a little bit out there. I'm gonna keep going with these others That's enough for that I Like that okay here we go with this one This looks like a big poppy to me, I don't know Just softening these edges of the centers Well, that's cool. I'm gonna leave that right like it is You can see the cells coming up as this runs back. That's that's the stuff that you love to see happen That one I'm gonna leave as well because it had a bunch of cells come up Now as a final touch I'm gonna go back with my black And my stick and I'm gonna outline part of this It kind it strengthens your composition it defines the flowers But you don't want it to look too outlining So I'm not going over the whole thing Just going over part of it And again, it's very spontaneous looking just helps Find some of these shapes. That's all I'm doing And if you have a leaf shape you can draw some veins or not Just a suggestion For the viewer. I'm suggesting that that is kind of a leaf shape See I jump I jump around but that's okay. I'm gonna leave that one Do some more over here So there's continuity between these two paintings these paintings can be hung together or separate they stand alone or they could be A diptych not a dipstick, but a diptych. That's when two paintings go together You see this is very loose I even got a few black splatters, which I don't mind There it is just me and my stick I know a lot of you have tried these these candy apple sticks you can use a skewer, but these are These are really nice because it's more like a pencil thickness instead of the flimsy Bamboo stuff that you get in the store, so I really like these these are on my Amazon shopping list I've been using these for years, so go primitive. It's like I Don't know caveman painting or something anyway. I Love these flowers. I really appreciate everybody who has done these there's been some really really good stuff.
