Pouring with Colourcraft Acrylics

Paint Paint Paint! This month a lot of the blogs will be focusing on yet another thing that Colourcraft is fabulous with...PAINT! What better way to celebrate paint than to show some Acrylic Pouring techniques?

Paint pouring is a method where one adds a medium (or more) to acrylic paint and then enough water to make it run nicely. The idea is that the medium slows down the drying time as well as making your acrylics flow- this allows you to make multiple cool effects.

For this session I used Eco Acrylic Paint combined with Flow Medium as well as Floetrol (an acrylic "conditioner" that can be found in some hardware shops).

You can see all the action on the video

I might have to embellish this one by drawing in a peacock!

 This one I think I will add lines to give it a quilt block effect.

 I really hope you enjoyed this! If you want to see more pouring techniques check out a couple of my previous blogs here and here as well as a super cute idea for pendants by Karen, another blogger, here!!

Floral Canvas inspired by the art of Julie Ryder

Hello and welcome back to the blog. Teresa here today, and I am sharing a mini canvas inspired by the beautiful art of Julie Ryder.

I began by painting the canvas with acrylic paint, turquoise for the sky, emerald green for the grass:

Once dry I began to add the 'flowers'. These are just small circles of colour:

I continued by adding some leaves. I created these by making small lines in shades of green, turquoise and yellow:

Next, I added more detail to the flowers:

....and some more!

Finally I added a sentiment sticker across the top!

I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial, it is a really simple technique. See you again soon x
