Рет қаралды 57,061

Күн бұрын

So many people asked how I mix my satin enamel that I did a video on it. I will provide a "recipe" but you still must use your intuition and practice to get the results you want.
Cloudy Effect - MelyD's recipe
1 part DecoArt Satin Enamel White
1 part Artist Loft Flow Acrylic
1 squirt Liquitex Pouring Medium
water to consistency if needed
For my Flowers & Trees:
1 part DecoArt Satin Enamel White
1/2 part Regular White
1/2 part Floetrol
water to consistency
For Bright White "Stay Put" Designs add to the above mixture:
a squirt of Gloss Medium
a squirt of PVAC Glue
water to consistency.

Linda Nash well... the “mixing” of paint is personal, and it should be personal to you too! Find what works for you. One formula does not work for ALL paints. Except, maybe 1 part paint to 2 parts floetrol... but even then u still need to add a little water in some instances

Hi Heather. I’ve found the artist loft fluid acrylic to be very thick. I wondered if I was getting old bottles, but found that wasn’t the case. Speaking of glue. I used glue, flotrol and acrylic paint in my first try. It turned out better than my remaining tries although the cells weren’t big, they were uniform.

thanks for setting down the recipes so nice. I also like your pour paintings. They are unusual and very little like so much of what you see in the pour world. So please keep that up. Now after all that I hate to ask questions but you have won my trust so here goes. Have you tried owatrol instead of floetrol and Behr's satin enamel instead of Decoart? And how do they differ, if you have. Right now my studio is a mess but three or four weeks from now should be all remodeled and ready to go at which time I will be using gac 800 as a pouring medium and regular gel to add vibrancy and to extend paint. Any thoughts? Thank you again for sharing, keith and happy cooking. Every time I come across a chef, I realize how much I miss Anthony Bourdain.

@HeatherMaderArt 4 жыл бұрын

I'm going to answer all your questions: 1. Owatrol yes - its thicker and works good with the Golden fluids. But it is more expensive than floetrol, and it doesn't seem to provide the same "lacing" effect of floetrol. 2. I've tried different satin enamel house paints and yes they work, but they tend to "break" for me. Some people use them perfectly with no issues. 3. I don't know if I would recommend GAC800 as your whole pouring medium because it is so thin. But if you decide to go that way - the golden paints and golden products TOGETHER, make an amazing finish to the painting. 4. You said you were using regular gel? Do you mean gloss medium? Gel is pretty thick to be using as a pouring medium. 5. Sigh....Anthony Bourdain.....I literally sobbed. There have only been a few celebrities I've cried over, and he was one of them. (along with Princess Di and Prince) lol.

I’m not familiar with using it exclusively. I will say this…. A very popular pouring artist uses it “in place of” doing a final varnish coat. I own one of her paintings and after several years it has tremendously faded. But the paintings I’ve sealed with GOLDEN satin or gloss spray varnish still look bright and brand new. So if u decide to use it - please still varnish your final work!

Is artists lift flow acrylic just the soft body paint? I’m confused but your work is beautiful

Sue - it might not be the same becase this video was at least 5 years ago. :) But they used to make this soft body acrylic they called "flow" acrylic. I think any white will do.

I just tried the cloud effect using the recipe above and all 3 of my attempts cracked really badly. Any idea why?

The paint may have been too thick on the canvas overall, which is the main reason why my paintings will Crack.
