95. TOOTHPICK CELLS! | Acrylic Pouring Tutorial

Create fun designs using silicone oil and a toothpick! Easy step-by-step tutorial!
PAINT COLORS & RATIOS
Base paint colors
I recommend using paints that are mixed 4 parts paint to 8 parts Floetrol to 1 part water. (I used a thicker consistency (of 1 part paint to 2 parts Floetrol) only because I didn’t have my preferred consistency available at the time.)

I have Wd40, can i use it as silicone?

[@dcfluidacrylics6633]

I’m not sure if it will work. I’d suggest giving it a try on a small canvas. I’d love to know what happens if you give it a try.

[@vidhikataria1364]

What are the components in black paint.. 4 parts paint, 3 part water and 8 part what .. ?

[@dcfluidacrylics6633]

8 parts Foetrol. You’ll find a link to it in the description box. It’s a type of pouring medium.

[@valeriesaudrais9663]

Cest dans,quel produit que vous mettre la pointe du cure dent pour faire apparaître les cellules

[@dcfluidacrylics6633]

I dip the toothpick in silicone oil (I have a link to the product in the description box) and then I gently touch the canvas with the tip of the toothpick which then creates the cells in the paint.

[@HollyHarper-gc6ix]

didnt work so why not? ive tried it on 6 different canvases..so now what???

[@dcfluidacrylics6633]

Oh no, Holly - I'm sorry to hear that! What paint brands and colors are you using? If you're using craft paints, they are usually thinner than the Artist's Loft paints that I use, so I'm wondering if the paint consistency differs from what I'm using... If you are using craft paint, I wouldn't add any water to the paint mixture. I'm not sure if metallic paint colors work...so I'd suggest trying with non-metallic colors. Are you mixing the paints in the same ratio's that I'm mixing them in? Also, are you swiping black over the colors first before adding the silicone, swiping black over the colorful paint helps the colorful paint to pop through once you add the silicone. Let me know a bit more, then hopefully we can figure out why its not working.
