Acrylic Flow art on any object I can make paint stick to! I started with canvas and have branched out from there, experimenting with all manner of different 3D objects to push the boundaries of this art form and see where I can take it. I love what I'm learning and love having the opportunity to teach what I learn to other people.

Terracotta dirty pour acrylic pour silicone floetrol high gloss finish
มุมมอง 2.4K6 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a pour done using a mix of 1:1 paint:pva 1:4 paint:floetrol (or more floetrol depending on viscosity) I added iridescent medium to some colours, the amount differs between brands and the desired effect, I used around 1/4 the amount of paint. High gloss medium was also added to most colours but only a few drops. I've found that even such a small amount makes a noticeable difference.

I had extra paint left over from a project I'm working on currently (a clock, to be precise, and to drop in a spoiler!) but had nothing prepped to do a pour on as all my other up coming projects are needing to be sealed still. What else does one do but wander around the house looking for objects to paint. In disgust, after finding nothing, I turned to the kitchen and grabbed a random mug from t...

I spotted these little park benches while or shopping one day and immediately wanted to buy some to pour on them. They sat in my studio with me eying them off for several months before I felt confident enough to give one a go yet even then I feel I didn't prepare quite enough. For the next one I'll use three cups with the third as a back up for those endless edges that just kept on turning up! ...

Two very different terracotta pot dirty pour acrylic flow painting 3D object with/without silicone
มุมมอง 16K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Dirty pour onto two terracotta pots. These are two very different pours done for a client who wanted small versions of two larger pots that I had already done. One has silicone in it and the other doesn't. You may notice I used a torch on both of them, on pot B, this was simply because there were some bubbles I wanted to get rid of.
Outback Aus colours Terracotta pot acrylic flow dirty cup pour : no silicone

Creating beautiful earthy tones to embrace the colours of the Australian outback seemed a challenge but in reality it was very simple to achieve. With this pot I decided to forego my frequent use of a high gloss medium and leave the paints in their manufactured state and I'm extremely pleased with how they've come up. All the paints I use are Mont Marte Dimension paints. These are a high viscos...
Terracotta pots dirty pour acrylic flow art painting NO silicone No heat AMAZING results
มุมมอง 349K6 ปีที่แล้ว
I'm doing quite a lot of these lately and have found that the results are more to my liking without adding silicone and heat. When planing these two, I kept the carmine out of the second pour intending to drizzle it over at the end, however, I was so impressed with the result without it that I left it off. What do you think? Was it the right decision?

Beautiful work. What type of silicone did you use?
Hi how are you doing I just subscribed to your channel
ALL THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL❤❤❤😊😊😊
THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL, THE DRIP PAINT WOULD HAVE MAKEN BEAUTIFUL CANVASES TO MATCH. FROM GEORGIA USA 🇺🇸❤♥💙💕💖🇺🇸❤
Just started watching these types of vids. I have seen over and over the use of floetrol. What is PVA? What is the purpose of spraying in silicone?
Perfect.
I just watched this video for the first time and its better to laugh than cry . Cells don't like me. 😂
Beautiful job
Muito lindo.
I soo want to try this!!! Esp. blue and white!!! ❤
thank you
how to seal it for outside use
I use clear outdoor spray. It's a dulux product and can be gloss or matt. I have several pots that have been outdoor in full weather for 5 years or more and still look new.
Why have a video with no voice. Stop wasting peoples time
Like the video but way too much talking for me..
You and me both! You'll love the rest of mine then - no talking at all.
Interesting

Aren’t you not suppose to seal the pot inside and outside to avoid water sipping thru ?
I seal the inside of the pots prior to painting the outside. The paint and varnish seal the outside. This process protects the pots beautifully. I have quite a few that have been used for over 5 years and still look perfect.
What size are these pots and where did you get them?
I always put a marble where the hole is any pour over it.
Why have you stopped?
I had some health issues that have meant I struggle with the art now. I miss it terribly but, hey, that's life and I search for things to fill the gaps!
@@kalenaflows4574 Were they health issues related to the you know what? Can't really talk about it on TH-cam.
@@kalenaflows4574 Do you sing?
Only for fun around the house or when I'm driving.
Hi! 😁
How do you address the rim of the pot?? Do you just cut off the paint? Did you mask off the rim? I imagine the rim would look bumpy and bad looking.
While the paint is finishing running off the sides I use a mixing stick or skewer to remove the drips and leave a smooth edge. I do this by spinning the pot and holding the skewer to the edge. As you noted, if it dries there it looks dreadful! Sometimes the colours used will blend and look nasty doing that so I'll choose a colour and paint just the edge of the rim once it's dried. Your suggestion of taping it off would also work. The sky is the limit with what you can do as a finishing touch to the rim, it's all about having fun!
Beautiful. Do you have to use any kind of sealant after painting the pot on the inside or the outside?
I use a terracotta sealant on the inside before pouring. After the pour I apply dulux matt clear indoor outdoor spray. Typically 2 coats. I have quite a few pots which have been in use outside for years now and still look brand new.
Perfecto
Superbe, je viens de découvrir votre chaîne et je suis en train de prendre tous vos conseils pour mes pots de fleurs, vous dites que cela est très résistant. Je suis ravie de pouvoir les mettre dehors. Merci pour ce partage
Thank you for your feedback, I'm pleased you have found my channel helpful. I hope you have a lot of fun creating beautiful pieces. 🥰
I like the results of both. My favorite is the second pouring
Your work is most beautiful, will you please tell us the portions you mix your colors with ? And I didn't understand what you meant by you added cilicone at the end . Will you please explain that to me . Thanks for sharing your gorgeous art ,I love it.
Thank you. Mixing individual colours is based on specific thickness, you want the final thickness to be like warm honey. It will be trial and error to start with. I mix about the same amount of each colour I want to use. There are a lot of different ways to mix paint but my preference is to use PVA glue and Floetrol to create the texture I want. I typically use equal parts paint and pva then add enough Floetrol to get a warm honey texture. At the end, a quick spray of silicone or drop of silicone oil will make the cell shapes come up quicker and more densely packed. With this pot, from memory, silicone was not added to all the paint and what was added was done halfway through layering the paint in the cup just prior to putting it over the pot. I hope this helps explain.
what is floteral?
It's a paint conditioner. It also helps with waterproofing.
Could you tell me what products you use to seal the pots before painting, then what you use as a varnish once the paint dries? I’m trying to get all the supplies I need to try this, but I have no idea what I’m looking for 😅
Hi there, as I make these for outdoor use, I use a clear indoor outdoor dulux spray. It comes in matt and gloss and protects the paint extremely well. I have several pots which have been outside for 4 years now, one is wooden and being well waterproofed and varnished, it has sat in all weather and sunshine and still looks fresh. Good luck!
Oops sorry, the waterproofing is done using a terracotta pot sealer, these would be available at any nursery. Thanks for your feedback :)
Great work and I will go for it.
Good luck!
What does the silicone do?
can you pour on plastic pots?Thanks!
You can, but it's good to test. Sometimes it peels off. I've given plastic a very fine sanding to create more grip for the paint, if that makes sense?!
Is this a special kind of acylic
No, it's a heavy body one, thick, but is just standard acrylic paint.
What kind of varnish do you use,? Very pretty.
The shape of the pot really matters.
How long do you let them dry before touching
They're usually touch dry within a couple of hours. The external of the terracotta is still quite porous as it's not treated so the paint soaks in nicely and does quickly. I do let it dry for at least 24 hours before varnish though.
Did you use spray varnish? They both turned out beautiful 🤩
Thank you Laura :) after a day or two drying I spray 2 coats of Dulux indoor outdoor clear gloss. They have a minimum of 24 hours drying time between coats. It protects them beautifully.
👏👏👍🌹
What do you use to seal if being used outside
I tried this, I spray painted it first with white paint and then I used ready pour acrylic paint but it did look this good, what did I do wrong. Please help
Difficult to say. I leave the external surface raw, it isn't treated with anything prior to pouring. Only the interior surface is treated and that is with the terracotta sealant. I do layer the paint a lot in the cup to increase the patterns in the final effect. The beauty of it is that if you aren't happy with the result you can easily pour over the top again. Sorry I can't help more, I'm certain you'll gain a feel for what you like as you play with the technique. I poured a lot of canvas before trying pots!
Beautiful
Hello all I'm trying to paint my terracotta plant pots but I'm facing few issues. please suggest for following questions. 1) how do you paint on terracotta without stroke getting visible? 2) do you use any base coast for smooth paint? 3) do you ise anything as top coat? cannot share picture here but once it strated to peeling you can remove whole. colour..just like peel off face masks
Hi, I'll answer as best I can for you. 1. As I don't use paint brush it's difficult for me to suggest how to avoid the brush mark. 2. I don't use a base coat. The paint is smooth because it is poured on and gravity makes what stays smooth. 3. I use a top coat, I tend to use dulux indoor outdoor clear gloss. It's a spray can and has worked extremely well for me. In terms of preventing the paint from peeling, if you treat the interior of the pot with a terracotta sealer before painting the exterior and the put a varnish or sealer on the exterior, you should find the paint peeling stops. No more face masks! I hope this helps.
@@kalenaflows4574 Thank you
Did you use ready pour
Hi, no, I like to mix my own and determine how thick I want it to be.
Do you use alicyclics paints?
Gorgeous! But how do you protect it from chipping and peeling off?
Thank you :) I use a terracotta sealer on the inside and varnish the finished product on the outside. I have pots that I painted 5 years or more so which live outside with plants in them. They still look brand new.
@@kalenaflows4574 Ah, thank you. They're so pretty. I really want to try this myself. :)
You definitely should, it's very satisfying.
They turned out beautiful 🤩
Thank you :)
