Unlocking Creativity: The Art of Deconstructed Bloom Acrylic Pouring

#ArtTutorial #PaintingTechnique #deconstructedbloom Experience the mesmerizing beauty of fluid art through a deconstructed bloom acrylic pouring technique. Watch as the colors blend together to create stunning abstract patterns. This is a must-see for any art lover! For this deconstructed blown out bloom I used a new to me pouring medium recipe that didn’t go so well--in the best way possible! I tried the Behr Dynasty untinted house paint mixed with some Verathane Varnish--no ratio as I eyeballed it to the consistency I like, and it looked great wet but the cells melted and made their own funky pattern! I think I’ll stick to my Behr/Valspar recipe as detailed below. Also debuting a new video format--let me know what you think!

PATREON: THE RECIPE: House Paint-base aka puddle for the substrate: PPG Multi-Pro in Satin at Home Depot. Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator: Behr 8300 Untinted Deep Base Paint (Home Depot); and Valspar High Gloss Ultra Base C Untinted base (Lowe’s). 50/50. Mix well. NO varnish added! Use the colors of your choice! These tutorials are meant to educate and inspire! Here’s how to mix: Pigments: For a 3 oz cup I add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of pigment powder to the cup, then add enough gloss varnish (any brand; I use JoSonja gloss varnish) to cover the powder. Mix well until all pigment is thoroughly wet; then add the pouring medium. Any brand fluid or high flow acrylics: I put about 2-2 1/2 ounces of the pouring medium into a 3 ounce cup, then squirt in color until I reach my desired shade. Mix well. For tube paint, I added an ounce of paint (heaping tablespoon) to a 3 ounce cup, then added 2 ounces of pouring medium. If still thick I add a squirt of Golden’s High Flow Medium (thins and extends acrylic colors) and stir well. All pigments are 1/8th tsp. pre-disbursed with a small amount of JoSonja Varnish to wet it (stir really well), then add into a 3 oz. cup of Pouring Medium; stir well. Cell Activator/Color: Australian Floetrol Amsterdam Carbon Black 2.5 -1 ratio Floetrol to paint.
