First Time Acrylic Pouring


A couple of months ago I saw a video online about acrylic pouring. I watch so much random stuff that my suggestions will just be like “Lets see if this weirdo likes this.” Turns out I liked what I saw when I got a glimpse of acrylic pouring. I watch a lot of videos using different techniques and styles. I watched some where it looked cool then they added some spice and ruined it. With these I tried the cup flipping, pouring dots, and others just globbing it on and seeing what happened. In a couple I thought it was ruined and then I just started moving it around. Since it is wet and I added a few drops of silicone it spread easily and colors underneath started to appear.


I am not huge into painting. I paint the backgrounds on my Perler designs but they are usually solid or me splashing and ruining my floor. With this I put them on my kitchen counter with a trash bag underneath and transferred them to a piece of cardboard to dry on top of a cup. I let them dry overnight and sprayed them with acrylic. I got the paint on Amazon and Joann's. By the way, Joann's sells these with everything already mixed together. They also sell the cups in packs of four. I am not gonna sit here and but a ton of sticks and plastic cups to just throw away. Why be wasteful? I just wash things out as soon as I'm done. This is fun and I plan on heading to the thrift store to find a painting to ruin with my colors.
