Cheapest acrylic pour blooms - Easy too!

Have you ever wanted to create acrylic pour blooms but got confused by all the different recipes and expensive pigments that people use? In this video I walk you through how I found the cheapest and easiest acrylic pour bloom recipe.
For the final results the recipe was as follows (links to products in Materials Used section)
Base Paint - ColorPlace Satin Classic Interior Paint (White)
Pouring Medium - This is made from roughly 50% water and 50% school glue. Then that was added to the Artist's Loft Metallic paints in a 1:1 ratio. Paint consistency was made to a good size mound (not mound upon a mound) and disappears.
Cell Activator - This was made from equal parts Amsterdam Titanium White and School glue. Water added to a consistency of making a very small mound and disappearing. The cell activator should be slightly thinner than the regular paints.
The important part was to blow very slowly down and then out. Vigorous blowing actually cause the paint to separate after is started drying. I do recommend either slowly tilting or using a lazy-suzan to distribute the paint evenly off the edges.

What do you use when you make acrylic pour blooms?

@havocaj3155 3 жыл бұрын

I havent really tried any yet

@UnboundedArtandCrafts 3 жыл бұрын

I do them in different ways. My CA is either an opaque color with water or with aussie floetrol. The colors are either 60%Cleopatre PVA glue 40% water or 60% Untinted housepaint 40% Varnish mixed with the paint about 50/50 and water added when needed. The base is either a cheap craft paint with water or wat I like best is a gloss LATEX interior housepaint. The paint breaking up in your video isn't you blowing to hard, it's the reaction between the Elmer's glue and the housepaint you used.

@AngelFangSuicide 3 жыл бұрын

I just started trying blooms. For my CA I tried 2 parts Elmers Glue All, 2 parts Amsterdam Oxide black & 1 part water. Lacing came out surprisingly well, and held for the most part...although not perfect. For my pillow I've used only Glidden eggshell pure white, I'm not sure if I should have added any GAC800 to help thin it out (and stave off crazing). My PM for my pigment mix was 4 parts Behr 8300 untinted to 1 part gloss varnish.... seemed to work out pretty well, but again not sure if it was too thick. Worked great for swipes though.

Nice shirt haha, oh I want to wear that to work! Thank you for the video. I used only glue and water with the most cheap 50cent craft acrylic paints years back when I started pour painting and this video proves it’s a pretty good combo if you wanna save a bit of money. I found that the colors can dry a bit foggy, but for a super cheap and cheerful piece of art it does work well,, to make them look a bit more high end, once completely dry, archival varnish can be used to finish them off and give a bright shiny wet look, it also evens the surface of the paining out a bit. I love your “trial tile” idea

Wonderful, creative effect. Just wondering if a sealer would need to be used, once the art is dry, to preserve the art in the long term. Thank you.

@LeftBrainedArtist 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely is. I would always put a sealer on when using glue.

Hi David: I love your charts and calculators. Would you be willing to do a chart specifying: BASE: (water, floetral or water?) and ratios, PAINT: (water, floetral or water) and CELL: (water, floetral or water) ratios? I know you have several different additives that work well, but could you make a chart that specifies what you think are your most successful mixes with the additive ratio for both your base, paint and cell? Maybe this varies re Style of Pour - perhaps that could be broken down too. Just a thought of a rough idea of what you use and find successful and are happy with in the majority of your pours. Thanks so much (no pressure re time to do this etc.)

I am not sure I have done enough testing of these to put a meaningful chart together but I will definitely keep this one in mind Samara.

Thank you for this video. This makes me want to try the bloom technique using your recipe. Would the crazing be reduced if you put a little GAC in the pouring medium? Just curious.🤷🏾‍♀️

@LeftBrainedArtist 3 жыл бұрын

Maybe. I can't tell if it is the difference between the base and the paint or if it just the paint.

Hi there could you please explain when you say1 part to 5 partsi don't know what you mean I don't know how much like what is 1 part please help thank you. 🐈🐾🐾

@shirleyosborne126 3 жыл бұрын

How much is 1 or 5 parts in grams thanks

@LeftBrainedArtist 3 жыл бұрын

The parts is a ratio. If you use 3g of paint then you'd use 15gs of medium (3 becomes the single part so 5 parts of 3 is 5x3 = 15). How much you needs depends on how much painting you are going to do. I hope that makes sense Shirley. Also, make sure you read the description below the video. The ultimate ratio of the successful mixes was one part paint to one part medium. So if you want 30g (1oz) or paint you'd do .5 ounce paint and .5 ounce medium (or 15g and 15g) which is 1:1 or equal parts.

Ok so I loved the video! I have been thinking about learning to paint…but I am wondering what do you do with the tiles when you are finished? Do you put them on your walls or use as coasters? Please show me! Also is there a glazing process to cure it for weather purposes?

@LeftBrainedArtist 3 жыл бұрын

These are fully fired tiles used for a bathroom so no addition work is necessary Tina. I have sold them as coasters and we have a few in our house. Some on mini stands. If you use them as non-decorative coasters they need a coat of heat resistant resin.

I was told elmer's school glue is washable and that's the difference between school glue and glue all and therefore when you go to wash off the silicone it will wash off some paint as well if you use the school glue. Have you been able to wash your pieces to test if the color starts to wash off along with the silicone. Course there's no silicone here, lol

@LeftBrainedArtist 3 жыл бұрын

I don't have any silicone in this so it shouldn't need any washing. All of the glues I use for pouring (craft glue, glue-all, school glue, clear glue) can wash off. You should be very careful with how much you wash before varnishing.

I'm curious if the glue cell activator would work with a "regular" pouring medium (Floetrol &water&paint) or any of the others people use....this was an awesome tutorial. I've never worked with glue before does it dry the same as anything else? Any issue with resining on top of the glue?

@LeftBrainedArtist 3 жыл бұрын

No issue with resin on top. I think the glue interacting with the glue is what makes the cells/lacing to my guess is that it wouldn't work with other mediums.

I don't think any of the other brands I have tested would do this. Elmer's school glue (based on the American Glue's I have tested) was the only one that reacted this way.
