So glad you went back and put more paint on with dust pan a second time. It really made it interesting.

I like this, Mark. You did a really nice job! The colors are great. The piece reminds of the Avengers. Strong colors and powerful. Just need to pop an Avenger on it!😅 I think dust pan pours can be tricky and you nailed it! Be well.❤️

I loved how it looked after the first pour and tilting. Then you grabbed the dustpan again and wow it just evolved so much! Do the better quality paints crack less even when they are thick on the canvas? I think it might be some of the cheaper paints I'm using. Have really enjoyed doing some of those open Dutch pours, but they all seem to be cracking on me. P.S. Yes to Ice Cream!

@MarkJRatcliffeArt

Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Amy. There could be various reasons you’re getting cracking, let me help: 1) paint quality - if you water the paint down too much say for a Dutch pour, if you’re not using a quality paint the binder in the paint may break down. Good quality acrylic paints do allow you to water down quite a bit more than craft paints 2) if the paint is thick on the canvas and not a consistent layer on the canvas then when it dries it will dry at different rates and cause cracking 3) the temperature in the room your painting is in is not a consistent temperature hot/cold/warm changes can create the cracks too 4) cracks might appear if you have an oil on the canvas (if you’ve handled the canvas quite a lot your natural oil (hands) might have transferred onto the canvas Hope that helps 😊😊😊

Thank you Linda, they are ready mixed paints I was using/testing so not sure what their ingredients are (not listed on the label). I added a little water so some of them to create greater flow but could have added a lot more. Thank you for your lovely words of encouragement 💜

hello, I made beautiful colors and exaggerated in expanding the scoop came out prettier than the picture next time I will do everything differently😂. I'll just let the paint flow by itself and do nothing else😊
