Fluid Acrylic Pouring with Liquitex Soft Body Acrylics

In this video, I use Liquitex Soft Body Acrylics. These acrylics are smooth but not as fluid as Golden Fluid Acrylics. In each of the colors, I also added some Liquitex Basic Iridescent Medium. I was hoping there would be more effect in the final result, but this was not the case. I think it is better to use an iridescent paint to get the true effect.

Overall the paints were responsive and held up nicely when drying. The colors stayed fairly true. I think if I were forced to use these, I wouldn’t have a problem but overall I am not overly impressed to change from any other brand I may be using.

The pieces in the video are available for sale on my Etsy page. Please feel free to visit and find something that will support the YouTube channel.

Creating Cells with Color Shift Paints in an Acrylic Pour.

This weekend Zoe and I have been playing with some new paint.  Last night we made a piece using Color Shift Paints and we rather liked the results.  So today we thought we would share with our YouTube Channel how we did the pour.  The receipe we used was rather simple.

In each cup add the following:

  • 2 Parts Paint
  • 2 Parts GAC 800
  • 1 Part 91% Alcohol.
  • 5 to 10 drops silicone

People have asked why I use alcohol and it is really just preference.  You can use water I just know that the alcohol works for me and I like it.  Additionally the alcohol can help act as a dispersing agent with the silicone. Once these pieces have dried and we have coated them in resin Zoe wants to put them on my Etsy page.  Of course they won’t be $2500 like she asked but they will be for sale.

Below is a list of the products we used with links to where they can be purchased:
