Red Rose Fluid Acrylic Painting Techniques Paint - using Balloons?

Here is a new way to make a beautiful rose. 

I have seen some folks painting abstract flowers with balloons but I haven't ever seen anyone do anything like this! 

I challenged myself to figure out how to make a beautiful rose with only balloons, not a brush in sight!


I take a couple cheap water balloons that I filled with air and tied off. Then press the balloons into puddles of multi colored acrylic paints mixed with Liquitex pouring medium. 

By just pressing and swishing the colors off of the balloons on to the card stock, I show you how to easily create a beautiful red cabbage style rose and bud in a lovely rose bush! So quick and easy. I am so delighted by the magic of these paintings. I have several more varieties of flowers coming in videos soon! Make sure you are subscribed and have clicked the bell to be notified when the new videos go up.

I used Solar White 110 lb Neenah Cardstock cut into 5.5"x 8.5" pieces and then folded in half to make a greeting card. These make wonderful gifts on their own or in sets of 4 with envelopes. If you purchase Invitation Envelopes they fit perfectly! Imagine a small wedding or shower with hand painted invitations with your own original art!
The Paints! 

Here's all the individual recipes for the colors and brands that I used in this painting. 

I Use a scale to measure my paint, water and pouring medium. It is more accurate and consistent to use a scale and way faster! 

You do need a cup or container for each color. Little plastic cups are great if you are saving leftover paints. You can use small paper water cups if you are not going to try and save the paint. Paper cups will fall apart more quickly. 

You will also need some craft sticks and a pair of gloves to to make it easier to keep your hands clean.

All of the colors have Pouring Medium in them. I did this painting with the Liquitex Pouring Medium. 

You can experiment with any pouring mediums--just do them proportionally small batches until you are confident that your combinations will work.

On to the PAINT MIXING Recipes!
Put your cup on the scale press the button to set the scale to zero and follow the measurements as you add each item to a cup for each color.

DecoArt Americana paints: Titanium White - 1 oz paint, 1/4 oz Pouring Medium, 1/4 oz water

Apple Barrel Paints- each color in its own cup! 
Leaf Green 2 oz paint, 1/2 oz pouring medium, 1/4 oz water
Yellow 1 oz paint, 1/4 oz pouring medium, NO water
Mountain Blue 1 oz paint, 1/4 oz pouring medium, NO water.

DecoArt Crafters Acrylic - 
Tutti Fruiti : 1 oz Paint, 1/4 oz Pouring Medium

Folk Art- Color Shift Blue Flash 1oz Paint, 1/4 oz of Liquitex Pouring Medium NO water.

There's no silicon oil or torching in my projects as I really worry about the possible side effects of heating the acrylic paints and the materials they are made from. I'm also concerned with the possible issues down the line with the paint not forming a good bond with the surface because of the oils preventing proper adhesion.

We all have to weigh the pros and cons of how we interact with our art supplies. Experimenting can be exciting and beautiful, but there can be consequences we don't know about yet. As with any thing in life be informed by reputable sources and your own common sense. :)

Fluid Acrylic Technique - Finger Swiping & No Brush Lavender Flowers wit...

The Spring and Summer flowers Acrylic Pouring series continues-

-I guess it is a series now that there are 4 videos already! This time it is Lavender! My yard is small but in the summer I have a sweet little lavender hedge that my son planted for me several years ago. All the plants were from the seeds of one lonely lavender bush that I planted over 20 years ago! The flowers are beautiful and I wanted try and capture the feeling of those beautiful blooms!

This time I used a cradled wood board to pour on--10 inches x 10 inches. Cradled wood just means that it is a wood panel that has an attached frame to the back, it keeps the wood rigid and makes it really easy to hang up. :)

Here's all the individual recipes for the colors and brands that I used in this painting.

Summer Wildflower Meadow Big Cloudy Cells Sky Fluid Acrylic Pour Techniq...

Summer time is coming and soon the Wildflower Meadows will be covered with amazing blooms! I'm looking forward to many camping trips to the National forests in my little teardrop trailer! I may just have to figure out how to do some acrylic poured paintings while on the go. Anyone interested in seeing me do some painting videos out in the 'wild'?

This painting was so much fun. The clouds were such an surprise too! I love how the white interacted with the blues to to create such cloud like cells. I think that part of this was do to all the tipping of the canvas that gave the clouds their slanted angle and energy. This video is almost an hour long and has a quite a few steps but NONE of the steps are hard to do. Just doing the steps I show gives you a better chance to get similar effects. :) 

This fun beginner acrylic painting doesn't use any brushes! I'm pouring paint from cups. Drawing through the paint with wood sticks and plastic paint droppers! Use what you have! I even used my fingers to move the paint around. 

This is your time to be creative--never let the lack of a tool keep you from making art!

For this painting I used 2 "Dirty" (several colors in one cup) Cups one set up with the Blues and White, and one cup set up with the Greens and Yellows you will get the Sky and the meadow! Then there are some clean colors for the wild flowers using some large 5 ml pipettes.
This painting is done on a 12x24 inch canvas--the biggest I think I can do under my camera with the current set up. 

You can do this on any size canvas or surface. If you use a different size you will need to adjust the amount of paint and pouring medium you mix up. Play and experiment with how much you will need. Just mix up more if you are working bigger or less if you are working smaller.

All of the colors are mixed with Liquitex Pouring Medium!

High Flow and Fluid paints were mixed 10 drops of paint to 1 ounce of Pouring Medium.

Color shift paint was mixed 2:1-- 2 parts Pouring Medium to 1 part Color Shift paint

Behr Premium Plus Ultra is mixed 1:1 -- 1 part Pouring Medium to 1 part Paint.

Golden Fluid Acrylic: Primary Magenta, Primary Yellow, Carbon Black, Cobalt Turquoise.
Golden High Flow: Phthalo Blue, Ultra Marine Blue, Dioxazine Purple
Behr Premium Plus Ultra 100% Acrylic Paint: Nano White
Plaid Color Shift: Black Flash

There's no silicon oil or torching in my projects as I really worry about the possible side effects of burning the acrylic paints and the materials they are made from.
