The dry back just doens't let the paint move as much because of the rought surface of the canvas. It can work I just havent had great results with it yet (the one time I did do it haha).

Lovin' how this turned out. And the base color really shows it off so beautifully! Perfect colors for Spring too. I musta' missed something ~ why wouldn't just adding white to the colors to turn them pastel work?

@LeftBrainedArtist

Жыл бұрын

Technically pastel colors are not full saturdation colors which you'd get with just adding white. At least when adding white to a base color. They are more muted versions of the color. If you have a color wheel the pastels are not the outer layer but the next two layers for a specific color. But there are a lot of full saturation colors that get lumped in with pastels.

Great job… still trying to decide what technique I should do 🤣😂🤣 Happy Easter 🐰

Do you ever use BLACK as the background of a pour? Or is it too overwhelming to the other colors? LOVE your videos!!! Thank you!!

@LeftBrainedArtist

5 ай бұрын

I totally do. Just make sure you use a quality black and not a craft black or it will take over.

A beautiful mix of colours. I always have problems with yellow as the base colour (the one you buy, irrespective of brand) is usually transparent or semi. Do you find that by making it a pastel colour by mixing with white (a strong base) you would reduce the transparency of it? I am interested in your views in this. Thankyou for a wonderful but of art 🎭🎨😊

@LeftBrainedArtist

Жыл бұрын

Adding an opaque white definitely makes the yellow way more opaque. Even a little bit of white can make the yellow semi-opaque vs the original transparent or semi-transprent.

Such a pretty one it is 👌🏼 Love the colours here..... Awesome.... Can you please tell me what kind of canvas you use? Does the roughness of canvas matters in acrylic pour? What's the best option to use?

@LeftBrainedArtist

Жыл бұрын

This one is a Level 2 Artist Loft canvas from Michael (US Hobby Store). The roughness can absolutely matter, however when you apply a wet base coat like I did here it isn't really a problem. Most of the canvases you purchase that are pre-gessoed (white) won't be a problem at all.

You need to use a higher quality paint as your backgroun paint. Amsterday or one of the nicer student level acrylics. Cheap black is very lightweight and will "rise" up through other paints.
