Acrylic Pouring Workshop 15th March 2018 www.hanhamartclub.co.uk Recipe: Use a plastic cup for each colour - Approximately equal parts pouring medium floetrol (or liquitex or pva glue) and paint, mix well A few drops of silicone oil in all colours apart from white (if using) Water to make up to easy pouring consistency (like single cream), mix well (To achieve the best variety of colours use yellow, magenta, cyan and white) In a clean large cup add the paint in layers holding the pouring cup reasonably high starting with white then yellow, magenta, cyan and repeat until you think you will have enough paint to cover your canvas. Put mapping pins in the four corners at the back of your canvas or get something to stand your canvas on to dry that allows drips to run off and is flat. When ready put canvas front down onto cup with cup in the middle, then turn over and place down on surface you prepared. Tap the bottom of the cup a few times and leave to stand for a few seconds. Then lift cup up or drag and lift whichever preferred. You can then tilt your canvas to get paint to cover the surface. At this stage you can use blow torch not too close and for not too long to enhance cell development. You can scrape up paint that has poured off and add to the edges if needed. Place back on prepared surface and allow to dry and continue cell development. It will take a couple of days to dry properly. There are several ways you can use this artwork, simply as an abstract pattern which will differ depending on colours used. You do not have to fill full canvas. You can pour through things to get different patterns, you can drag paint using cocktail stick etc and you can add artwork. This can also be used on other things such as pebbles etc. If you do not have success you may have the paint too thick.
