(10) Acrylic Pour, First Verbal Walkthrough

Alright, hi guys! This is going to be my first video where I'm actually talking through my process. It's probably going to be a short video. All I'm doing today is re-pouring over a clock face that I didn't like the way it turned out. After I poured, I torched it and the torch just really broke up all of the colors. So what I did was just mix up all of the same colors. I'm going to use a couple of small two ounce condiment cups pour the paint in those and then just do a quick pour so I have a dark turquoise I have a lighter minty turquoise white and gold and I'm just going to pour them in the cups at different intervals and then pour from there this is a nine inch clock that I I got from Target and it comes with the mechanism it is part of their handmade modern series I put that lighter turquoise in first and I'm going to put some gold in all the cups and these small cups I actually just got off of Amazon I use them a lot for the coasters that I make and it works really well it's a really good size holds just enough paint that I'm not wasting a lot if I pour from something like one of these cups, I use way too much paint. So to make it go just a little bit further, try not to waste a lot, I use something a little bit smaller. And I really like this lighter color that I mixed up. It was about three different colors of turquoise, so I'm going to use a little bit more of that. I'm going to use a craft stick and just give a little swirl, mix the color up just a little bit. I'll just pour each one. Now we're going to tilt. Try not to lose too much down the middle. It's going to happen but I didn't want to tape it off and then pull tape off and also have paint come off with it. I like that much better than it was before. I'm not going to torch this because I don't want it to do what it did previously. I am going to go around the sides just a little bit. A lot of that light turquoise is showing up. A little bit of the dark turquoise is. I'd like a little bit more of that dark color in there so I'm going to pour just a tiny bit the gold and the white. And the only thing that I'm adding to my paint is water and Floetrol. I don't have any silicone. I don't use it a lot anymore because I don't like the cleanup that you have to do with the canvas after it dries. Over here. Oh I like that a lot. Follow those lines with that. Tilt just a little bit more. Too much paint. It is a lot lighter than it was before but like it there are some very small cells popping up and what I will do now is take the camera down and get a picture for you so from this angle you can see that lighter color really took over but I do like it there's a little bit of white showing up a little bit of the darker turquoise and a lot of that gold thank you all for watching
