Posted by DecoArt on Jul 10th 2019
Step up your basic paint pouring, made possible with DecoArt® Pouring Medium™, with this new technique.
SUPPLIES
- disposable gloves
- canvas
- wet wipes
- plastic cups
- aluminum foil pan
- balloon
- stir sticks
INSTRUCTIONS
- Paint the entire canvas in Titanium White.
- Pour each of the listed Media Fluid Acrylic colors into a separate small plastic cup. Add an equal amount of Pouring Medium to each cup and stir.
- Place four large plastic cups into the foil pan and lay the canvas on the cups. Lay down a diagonal base of the Titanium White mix onto the canvas. (See photo.)
- Layer each color directly onto the canvas in puddles along the diagonal, pouring each color inside of the previously-poured puddle. (See photo.)
- Blow up a balloon.
- Swirl this balloon along the diagonal and blend the pools of color into each other and slightly out.
- The finish product will look something like this.
- Add more Titanium White on each side of the diagonal. Blow up another balloon into a smaller form and use this to swirl the paint and the previously poured area into each other, blending it into the Titanium White area a bit more.
- Touch up any areas along the diagonal with Titanium White.
