Acrylic Pouring Basics: How I mix my house paint for Pour Painting Bases

  • Acrylic pouring how to mix house paint as a base paint. I used semi gloss latex interior house paint in bright white. 1500ml house paint, 1000ml floetrol, 100 ml gac800, 100ml liquitex pouring medium, 200ml water. You can leave the liquitex pouring medium out if you want. House paint does need some type of binder added if you are going to thin it out. If you have issues with the paint swallowing your colors, mix in some regular white titanium to this mixture (about 25%) and that should fix that issue!
    Hope you enjoy the video! Thank you so much for watching. Happy painting!
    I am so happy that I found acrylic pouring/fluid art a few years ago. It has helped me in so many ways and it just keeps getting better and better. This visual arts creative outlet has made me so happy. I am loving this abstract art! I hope to keep doing this for years to come! I have always been fascinated by modern and contemporary art. There is something about it that is so freeing and expressive. I love acrylic pouring because I get to experiment and really join the creative side of my brain with the scientific part! There are so many different fluid acrylic pouring techniques out there, so much more to try and have fun with. Make sure you are subscribed to my channel so that you may learn and be creative with me. I love hearing all of your comments.

    I'm so grateful to have come across this and your mixing pouring medium tutorial.
    As a newbie to the world of art and painting I pay close attention to your technique in swiping, blow dryer, straw, flip cup, dirty pours and such. I definitely need lots of practice in all those areas. My abilities using your techniques has improved immensely but I struggle to get great results, that WOW factor. Your mixing tutorials have tought me that it's not technique I struggle with now, it's the medium and paint consistency.
    Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 😎

So much conflicting information out there. Some don’t do anything to it, others do a lot. Thanks the reasons given too make it make total sense!

    Thank you so much for the inspiration and for sharing your beautiful art! I feel like an idiot. I used the paint I painted my living room (green) and dining room (blue) to make poured paintings for those rooms. It never occurred to me to use house paint as my base! When I use house paint I take a hammer and a nail and nail holes in the can where the lid goes, that indented part of the can. That way the paint drips back with the rest and the lid doesn't stick. I get a bag of marbles from the dollar store, it's with the fake flowers, and put 3 or 4 in my gallon jug of Floetrol to help mix it when I shake it. Also (whew!) I used a drill with a paint paddle attached to mix a gallon of paint. The paddle is at Walmart for less than $5! I love all of your pieces and couldn't choose a favorite if I tried! Again, thank you!

    Called son to ask about gloss or semi gloss
    He didn't know. GOOLGLED IT AND HAD A GOOD LAUGH! It brought me here! Was about to panic I didn't have GAC800 or gloss polymer varnish!!!!
    But then you said
    It's OK if starting & you don't have it! I didn't to begin with! Thank you Molly you are just simply awesome woman! Thanks for inspiring me to be creative! And being there when I need you! Felt like a wink from God to say...do it!

    When your painting has dried completely, do you then use varnish or is the varnish that you added in mixing your paint significant enough so you do not have to varnish before selling or giving away as a gift. Enjoyed your videos. Still fairly new, some come out great, many have been paint overs. I did fall in love with your red and white 3-D looking one, one of your first red/white, and it started out looking like yours, but lost it- ended up looking like a phallic symbol, but not 3-D. Took a picture, but decided that to reused canvas was worth more then keeping the picture.
    Again, thank you for your fun, informative videos.

    Just an FYI: If you place a paper towel or any old paint rag you have hanging around over the paint can lid before using a hammer or rubber mallet to close it, it will capture the splatters that could otherwise end up on you, your walls, or even, God forbid, your freshly painted canvas. Also a rubber mallet won't cause the can to easily be dented or bent like a hammer can. Thanks for all you share.

    Hey Molly!
    I'm slowly working through the videos from the beginning, to really get to understand this medium, before trying it later this week, I'm enjoying seeing the progression of your presence & cameramanship and how the set up changes slowly up to the latest videos that I have been watching too. So obviously here you're still on the phone and unedited, but it's great!
    I have been confused by the 'Latex paint' you are using, because I'm in England and we have no such a thing as Latex Paint, so apparently it's 'Emulsion Paint' which is standard wall paint (but it took a lot of working out what the hell it was!) So there we have probably both just learnt something new today!
    As to the Pouring Medium - Do you just mix the Pouring Medium and leave that, then mix your colours/PM on the day of painting, or do you mix the day before (minus the water) and then add water just before pouring?
    Really enjoying your videos and will eventually catch up!
    Best wishes

      Hi! Thank you so much! Oh my, yes my videos have definitely changed as has my studio setup and editing skills lol! If you are just starting off I would worry about wall paint for now, it takes a lot to get it not to break and swallow the colors. You can use regular acrylic paint for your bases. If you are going to use it, yes emulsion wall paint is fine. I use semi gloss, don't know what kind it is for you there. I mix batches of it at a time with pm in there and then i add some acrylic paint amd water to it right before i pour. I did 2 tie dye waves recently!! Loved it!

    I love your videos. They are so detailed and informative. I do have a question for you. When do you use house paint mix vs Acrylic Fluid paint for your bases? I’ve been trying to do dutch pours with house paint thinned out with US Floetrol and Water, and it looks like my base paint is swallowing my colours and everything is turning out pastel, or they are not flowing well.

    thank you for doing this video on using house paint for acrylic pour. I am a chemically sensitive person and have been having such a hard time with the acrylic pours I have been using. I used SmartCoat No VOC house paint and have been looking for a way to use it when pouring paint. I also cannot use Floetrol so learned how to substitute it with glue. Now I am set and ready to have fun painting. 2 Questions: 1) because I am going to substitute the Floetrol for a glue and water mixture, do I need to change any of the other ingredients that you used? 2) Where can I get the plastic container where you pour and mix everything. How many quarts/gallons does it hold?

  • @nickylozier5950

    Molly, I tried black semi-gloss. I added about 300 ml pouring medium, 500 ml black semi gloss and maybe 2 ounces of distilled water. I also used 3 small bottles of a craft type gunmetal. I wanted a Dutch pour blow out. I used colors simple to your favorites that were acrylic paint. It looked so great wet. But dry it’s like my paint sunk into the base too much. I’m hoping a top coat gloss will revive the pop to it. The gac 800 is for crazing but I’m not doing huge canvases and have not added that. Would some floetrol have helped my colors stay more on top?

    Hi Molly, recently subscribed to your channel. I did my first pours on Sunday. I build cornhole boards and was considering pouring on my boards eventually. I did my first three pours right onto some scrap pieces of plywood I had. They turned out decent. I left negative space so that you would still see some wood grain. I used latex house paint. I had not discovered your channel so I wasn't sure about mixtures. They turned out decent. I thought the mix was a little thick which was ok since I wanted the negative space. I also live in Las Vegas so things thicken quickly. What suggestions would you offer to make my mix better consistency considering my situation?

    • @MOLLYSARTISTRY
      @MOLLYSARTISTRY  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi! Couple of things. What pouring medium are you using? I would mix at least with floetrol to thin the paint out a bit. Also of you are going to be putting on wood, make sure you prime it seal it first so that the paint won't soak in. Sounds so cool, a custom corn hole set! Super fun! You want the paint to be funnier than regular latex paint, but not do much that it won't stay on what you are painting lol. Hope this helps!

    Hi Molly, since I found you I havent stopped watching you I agree with the above comments. Your truly a natural in front of camera. Talented beyond. I started fluid art about 7mths ago & havent stopped. I do have some questions & I know you can help me.
    For starters, I use 1 part paint to 2 parts floetrol, plus water when needed. I just finished watching your video about house paint, liquidtex gloss varish.
    Should I be using that as my base all the time?
    Do you varnish your painted canvas on all finished products. I read & heard it turns yellow, I afraid to varnish if thats the case. I also were told if artists use silicone a art festival promoter will not let you show do to yellowing. I'm desperate as I'm moving to Florida and want to start selling at community clubhouses.
    Thanks in advance for replying

    • @MOLLYSARTISTRY

      Hi! Thanks for watching! So for my house paint, I use that as my base for negative pours. I play around with the pouring mediums as well. My staples include liquitex pouring medium to keep the colors true, gac800 (it adds a creaminess to the paint and supposedly helps with crazing, although I dont use it in the amount recommended on the bottle for crazing), gloss medium and varnish. I then play around with different ratios of floetrol and sometimes glue all. For archival products, supposedly, the liquitex pm, gac800, and gloss mediu
      Should be as they are made for acrylics. No one yet truly knows about glue all and floetrol. I dont use a ton of silicone, normally only in my flip cups, so I dont know about yellowing for that either at this point. I clean my ones really well that have silicone, and I very rarely use just white, so if something yellows on a darker color, will it be that noticeable? I live in FL as well, there has been no one so far that has refused my painting die to the mediums used. For varnishing, the varnish itself is professional grade, none yellowing, uv resistance varnish, so it is supposed to stand the test of time! Resin does yellow over time, some slower than others. I use stone coat currently. Hope this helps and good luck with your move!

    Molly please before you drive that screw driver into your hand, get a key for doing the job. It’s free or very cheap. Also a rubber mallet for closing the lid. It keeps the paint more air free and fluid. Keeps the paint chips from forming on rim of the can and falling into the paint can. Be well!

      Thanks for your comments! I am in us and I am not sure what other products you have, but it only takes a very small amount of liquitex pouring medium and the rest can be diluted with water. You can also use any other brands of pai mh t conitioners/extenders (may be ask your local hardware store and just make sure they are latex based) and I would see if there are any art stores around (sometimes they have a cheaper version of pouring medium in their brand). As well some use glue as a pouring medium , I just dont use it in my white as it has concerns for yellowing. Hope this helps, please let me know how it goes! You can just use paint, water, and a little pouring medium though! I would experiment around!
