Hey everyone, Karen from Waterfall Acrylics here! In this video, we're diving into an exciting fluid art painting process, showcasing the application of paint to a canvas to create beautiful abstract painting patterns. I'll guide you through the painting process, demonstrating how to paint these unique designs. Don't forget, Bloomfest is coming up fast next month in Vegas, so come paint with me! I'm offering 5 workshops of different techniques you can do with one recipe! If you missed it last time, now if your chance! All the details are on my website--I really hope to see and meet a bunch of you there! Website: https://www.waterfallacrylics.com/events

THE RECIPE:

House Paint-base aka puddle for the substrate: PPG MultiPro in Eggshell from Home Depot.

Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator color:

Sherwin Williams Infinity Base C In Semi-Gloss (Lowe's only) and Varathane Triple Thick Water-based Gloss Polyeurathane (Home Depot) mixed 2:1 ratio paint to varnish. Add small traces of water to thin if needed.

Use the colors and brands of your choice! These tutorials are meant to educate and inspire! Here's how to mix:

Pigments: For a 3 oz cup I add 1/2 teaspoon of pigment powder to the cup, then add enough gloss varnish (any brand; I use JoSonja gloss varnish) to cover the powder. Mix well until all pigment is thoroughly wet; then add the pouring medium; mix well. Recommend a Covid mask to mix.

For any brand fluid or high flow acrylics: I put 2 1/2 ounces of the pouring medium into a 3 ounce cup, then squirt in color until I reach my desired shade. Mix well.

For tube paint (medium or heavy body paint), I added an 1/2 ounce of paint (1/2 teaspoon) to a 3 ounce cup, then added 2 ounces of pouring medium. If still thick I add a squirt of Golden's High Flow Medium (thins and extends acrylic colors) OR water, and stir well.

Cell Activator/Color: Australian Floetrol + Amsterdam's Permanent Blue Violet with a little Oxide Black added in. 2 -1 ratio Australian Floetrol to paint.
