(259) Arteza Metallic Paint Dutch Pour, Fluid Art Technique

Hi everyone. So today I'm going to do a Dutch pour and I'm going to be using Arteza Metallic colors. They sent me a 12 pack. There is gold, Aztec gold, silver, pearl canary yellow, pearl papaya orange, pearl pink tulip, pearl royal purple, pearl electric blue, pearl lime green, pearl deep brown, pearl space gray, and pearl white. I wanted to see how these would look against the black background. I think that's going to look really nice, but I also have a white canvas, so I'm going to do one of each. They also sent me some of their four ounce containers of color, so I have black and white mixed up for my backgrounds, and I'll show you. I'm using, I have five different colors mixed up. This is the Aztec gold. This is the canary yellow. I have the papaya orange, the lime green, and the pink tulip. So I'm hoping that these will be nice and bright and really shine through on that black. So I'll move these out of the way. And then for this first one, I just have some black mixed up. And I have a gallon of Floetrol, but I just put it in a small container so it's a little bit easier to use. But I've just added a little bit of this to each of the colors along with water to thin them down. And I have my hair dryer. out of the way and I will get some black down on the canvas. I think I have plenty of paint mixed up so we should get some good coverage. I'm going to rinse this off so that when I do my white I will have a clean one. So let's see how I want to do my colors. I'm going to do some of the yellow first. Oh that's I think that's going to be nice and bright. Some of that green, orange, and this purple, this pink I think is going to look really nice. Hopefully they don't blend too much. I think that look pretty good. Then I'm going to do some of that gold and then do our black around and I'm going to drip just a few more so I get some blending of the colors a little bit. Okay so this is going to be loud but now we're going to do the hair dryer. So I used quite a bit of color so that actually covered up most of the black. I'm going to probably add a little bit more and just blow it in the corners, but I think that's going to be really nice and bright when that dries. So I'm going to set this aside and we will try this on some white. Okay, so I moved that first one out of the way and I'm going to try this on the same colors only with the white background and we'll see how that turns out. I may actually thin my colors down just a little more. I feel like they didn't really move a lot, so I might take a minute and add some more water. I will do that and be back. Okay so I've added some water to each of my colors so I think they're going to hopefully move a little bit more. We're going to put down our white and then I think I'm going to go in a different direction. We'll just spread this out and this time I'll probably go from this corner since I went from that corner before. So we'll do colors here and with this gold and see how this turns out and I've got a little bit of white left so we'll go around it with the white and we'll see how this one goes. I'm going to let these dry and we'll see how they look when they're all all finished. Okay so they're almost dry. I'm going to be careful because they're still just a little wet in the middle but the colors turned out really nicely. Gold is going to dry really well and I really like the orange and the pink in these. I think I'm going to try some of these colors again and probably use less colors. I think five was probably a little bit too much, but they're showing up really nicely against the black, so I'm really happy with that. And I just wanted to say thank you all for watching!
