(117) Trying Out New Deco Art Pouring Medium!!

So this is the DecoArt Pouring Medium. They sent me some free supplies so I'm going to test it out and I just wanted to show the consistency of it. It's a really nice consistency. It's a little bit thinner than like Floetrol. It's really similar to the Sargent Art Gloss Medium that I use. So I'm really excited to try this out and see what it looks like. They also gave me a bottle of their clear top coat and then as you can see they gave me four different colors so I have red white blue and yellow so I'm going to do a painting with these I'm probably going to mix them together and do a rainbow color with them so I'll do red orange yellow green blue and make up a little bit of purple but I'm only going to be using the DecoArt and their pouring medium and I will probably be adding a little bit of water to it all of my colors I have six colors mixed up they're all with the DecoArt colors that they provided me i've added the pouring medium to them and with how fluid the paint already is along with that pouring medium i'm actually not going to add any water to this so i think it just depends on how you like your consistency if you like it thicker you may need to use some other products but if you like this nice very smooth consistency where it just goes right off your stick. This looks like it's going to work really well. So what I'm going to do is probably put my camera up. I just wanted to show the mixing process so that you can see what it looks like. This was the orange that I mixed and then I did the green and then the purple. So I have, this one is a little bit thicker but I think I'm going to leave it because I still, I still like that. So I'm going to put my camera up and then I'm going to grab a canvas. Then we'll do a pour with this. Um, just a wood circle. I really like painting on the circle. So I'm going to do that. I also have smaller four inch wood circles that I use to make coasters. Um, if you'd like to see where I purchased these, I do have these linked in my Amazon affiliate link in the description of the video. So you can check that out. I'm also going to link the product of the pouring medium that I received in the video so that you can check that out and see if you want to try that for yourself. So what I'm going to do debating on how I want to do my pour. See there's no silicone in this so I'm not really expecting any cells but I may only use a portion of the paint and then add some silicone in to see what happens so we're just going to do a dirty pour with this actually I might do a tree ring pour and see what kind of design I can get with those I'm going to save the rest of the paint and like I said maybe add some silicone in it just to see if we can get some cells but here we go all right that looks really cool with that yellow and some of those colors so i'm just going to slowly tilt so that orange is really showing up the green is really showing up so the consistency is pretty good for this it's not too thin it didn't all blend together as you can see still get some really nice color definition in there obviously the purple and the blue got a little bit lost but but you can see sections of it throughout. One way to probably help that is you could stir your paint next time. I didn't stir at all. I just let the paint do what it wanted to do when I poured it out. Making sure my edges are good. And then I think what I'm gonna do is add a little bit of silicone to it, which I'm using, it's actually, I should say dimethicone. It's the Argan Oil of Morocco. It's a hair serum. And then I'm going to do some flip cups on some coasters and see what that looks like. Okay, so I have my torch. It's just a butane torch. I actually got this one from Home Depot. So if you're looking for them, you can get them at different home improvement stores or online. I've added silicone to each of my colors, and I think what I'm gonna do is a flip cup and then torch it on the coasters to see if I can get some cells. I don't want things to get too muddy, so I may not use all six colors on each coaster, but we'll see how it turns out. I have plenty of paint that if I don't like the way one turns out, I can paint over it. I'll do on this one. And with these, what I am going to do before I do the flip cup is just stir it. Oh, and if I don't drop it, stir it a little bit, and then I'll do my flip cup. Probably need some different larger cups. We're gonna do that. Ooh, it is making some cells. We're gonna torch it, and then I'll tilt a little bit. Okay, so that already has made some pretty nice cells. I do want, I like that blue right in the middle, so I'm going to pour off some of these others. And then I will get a, I'll take some close-up pictures because this looks like it's going to work. The consistency is really good. The colors look good. So that, not sure if it's the pouring medium that they have, but that is going to make some really nice lacing. I think if you like to do swipes, from what I can see here, I think it's going to work out very well for swipes. If you use that pouring medium, use their paint, and then add in the silicone, that could make some really beautiful lacing and cells. I'm going to do a similar one. I like those colors. I'm probably going to do just a little bit less red and orange, but I like that blue and the green. Stick with more of those. and when I added the silicone I added just a touch of water probably a tablespoon maybe less in each of the colors just to help make sure that it was thin enough to create cells I really didn't add too much but it seems like the consistency is pretty good so flip that and again it's already making cells before I even do anything but I do want to torch it and see what else I can make and that would did pretty well too when I get pictures I'll show you there's some really nice cells in there so so far this seems to be working out so we're going to do on some purple in one of these my green I'm not gonna do any orange in this one I think I'll do these last two with just the other colors give it my little swirl I'll see what this looks like with the purple if it doesn't look good we can always get rid of it yeah I'm not really liking the purple in this one so i may i may do one more flip cup over it and because i don't like the purple i'm going to get a new cup it might have just started getting a little bit too muddy in there we'll do this last one and then we'll look into redoing that one as you can see i'm not torching for very long it's not taking a lot to get those cells to pop up so i'm liking that um one thing i noticed if you torch too long it'll break up cells i have that problem not sure if other people have that problem so I try not to keep the heat on it or else you will burn the paint this one looks really good so what I can see from these it looks like the orange is creating some really great cells so you'll see that lacing especially in this one in this one we're gonna scrape this one off and redo it I do not like it but I do like what came off so I might actually save that yeah that's pretty cool I'm gonna torch this a little bit just a second yep I can so I mean working on freezer paper once this dries I'll be able to peel it off and I can use that for pendants. That looks pretty cool. So we'll just save that. I'll try not to tilt into it. We'll do a little swirl here and then pour this last one and torch it. Oh, I really like that one. The green is finally popping up over here with some of the blue. That looks really cute. Okay, so I will take the camera down. I'll get some pictures of them wet and then I will also get some pictures with them dry and we'll see how this goes. I think so so far I like it. I like the consistency of the pouring medium I think with the consistency of the DecoArt paint you really don't need a lot of water I added just a little bit to make sure that it was a good consistency with the silicone to help create cells when I've had my paint too thick before it won't create cells so as we've seen from the other one without the silicone it really kept the definition of those tree rings that we did with these we're getting some really great cells so like I said I'll take some pictures and so far I'm really liking this one
