@LeftBrainedArtist

11 ай бұрын

Start with the amount of floetrol you want. eg. if you want 2 ounces of paint start with 2 ounces of floetrol. Then add color until you get just lightly lighter than the color you want as acrylic paint tends to dry a slight bit darker than it looks wet. Then add water until you get the consistency you want. You always end up having a little more paint than you need but I have found that is the easiest and more efficient way to do this.

Thanks so much for this great info. I'm guessing this is for average use as some methods want different thickness of paint. Or should we use this as firm and then add water to get the desired consistency for what we are doing?

I haven't heard of those paints. You can definitely do some awesome things mixing thinner more diluted paints but it is a careful balance for sure.

Hi David, This video is very informative, regarding what you want to do if you want to keep the colors as vibrant and as true as possible. But I am a little puzzled when it comes to adding the consistency factor in the balance, depending on what technique you want to use. What type of pours can you do with the consistencies you get with your recommended mixes, and can you add as much water as you want with every single type of paint you use in these mixes? Is there more risks of binder issues if you add pouring medium rather than water, or is it the other way around, or does it depend on the paint quality? I have another issue regarding consistencies. I tried mixing some french craft paints for a split cup, I wanted a good definition so I mixed them thick. My PM was sometimes thicker than the paints themselves, so I added more of it, but some of my colors literally broke down during the drying process, and sometimes right after pouring them. I didn't try adding heavy gloss acrylic gel instead of PM, though. But how can you thicken your mixes, depending on the type of paint you want to use? I am not talking about fluid paints though, the only type of fluid paints you can get here are the golden ones, and we know they play well with almost every PM thick or thin, and with gloss acrylic gels too.

@LeftBrainedArtist

I have a video and a blog post about which consitencies to use for different pouring techniques - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ioCc2bCAdLTVXbg.html and leftbrainedartist.com/how-to-prepare-acrylic-paint-for-pouring/ Adding water can reduce the binders in the paint. However, with most student + paints you can add up to about 30/40% water and still have enough binders to prevent crazing (depends on your climate too). If your medium is thicker than your paint you'll have to use water or a different medium to thin it down to the right consistency. I always use water and haven't had trouble with cracking unless I was doing it on purpose or left my paints too thin.

Great information😊 Question foe you When you say 5 Oz for covering canvas with paint , how do you figure out how much extra for flooding canvas amount any suggestions ??

You take it from your total paint. If you manually cover your canvas for a base coat you can do that with say 3 ounces and then use the last 2 for your flip cup or whatever technique you use. SOme techniques use less paint because you aren't "tilting" off anything or at least not as much like the Dutch Pour.
