time lapse video of poured acrylic painting Ice Ice Baby. I have lots of classes on Skillshare and a Premium 2 month membership is only $0.99. In my classes I go over everything in detail. Visit www.skillshare... to check it out!
It's recommended to use medium because the paint companies say that if the polymer particles are too far apart, which watering them down does that eventually it will flake off. This is not true when it's done on paper where it soaks in. I paint on gessoed canvas so I follow the recommendation of the paint company:)
Very interesting technique and I love the outcome. I am seeing more professional artists using the plastic wrap to create textures and designs in their art and cannot wait to try it. Thanks for sharing your video with us. 🎨
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have used it again in another painting you can see on my Instagram feed at Linda Celestian. I have video but I haven't edited it yet. I need to get on that.
Steve m.g If I use a lot of airbrush medium , water and very little paint then the layer will be transparent. I vary the amount of paint in the pours to play with translucency. Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thank you! I usually leave the saran wrap on until the paint is totally dry. You can see in that video the paint wasn't totally dry and it lifted a lot of the paint off at 3:07 but still looked cool. You can watch this video to learn about the technique ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t9opxhcaegY.html and here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--EEaB5H9HDs.html to see me use it in another painting. Thanks for watching.
Yes it is. You can see how I use it in another painting here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--EEaB5H9HDs.html. And here is a video showing different mixtures and how they look when dry ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t9opxhcaegY.html Thanks for watching!
Hi again, ma'am! How many days did you do this painting? Also, may i know the coloRs that you used? I'll try to make one for my grandparents house. Thank you once again ma'am!
Hello, I think I worked on this over a few days. The video doesn't show how many times I let the layer dry completely that takes a day at least. The colors are Golden Fluid Acrylic, Phthalo Blue(Green Shade) and possibly Primary Cyan, then I mix one with white for the light color and one with a little bit of black for the dark color. I use Airbrush medium to thin the pain even more. Good luck and have fun!
Hi Linda Just passing on some information. I saw a tutorial by Nancy Reyner. She was a spoke woman for Golden and she now wrote 3 books on acrylic. Her work consist mostly of washes. Nancy saw a video where the woman told the viewer never put more than 50 % water in the acrylic paint. She said she wanted to straighten out that misconception. You can put even 1:1 paint and water if you wish to produce a watercolor look. If you put less, then the colors will be a bit stronger. Even less water then the color are even stronger etc. She also mentioned that method works well if the paint is of high quality. She then puts a varnish over her finish work. In this video did you layer the paint wet on wet? It looks like the white mingled with the underneath color. Or the video was simply speed up. I admire your creativity/
Thank you! I will look up her work and books. I sometimes use more than one color in a pour for a wet into wet technique then I let it dry before doing the next pour. Thanks for watching!
Steve m.g I'm using airbrush medium and a little water to thin my paints. If you add too much water it can be unstable as in it will crack in 10 years or so the paint company says it will. Airbrush medium is milky but dries mostly clear.
I know this video doesn't explain this but I let each layer dry before pouring another layer. I'm working in acrylic paint so I put a fan on the painting and leave it over night. If you watch closely you'll see what each layer looks like wet and how it looks different when it's dry. In my newer video series Abstract Acrylic Painting Tools and Techniques I explain everything I'm doing.
Just fantastic ! As I understood you very well you did this job on a gessoed canvas, but did you also use any medium with your watery acrylic paint Linda? Thanks
Vicky rafael Hi Vicky, I use airbrush medium, fluid acrylics and water. It's important to not use too much water. The medium is a milky white that aids in making this look like ice.
Bubble wrap is a really fun thing to use. I just used it in an ink painting that will be part of a new video I'm working on. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Linda, this is a very artistic pouring... and your table is especially covered to catch the spills. May I ask what kind of material do you use to cover the table ? Thanks
Hi, Sorry I just saw this. I use paint tarps that have an absorbent side and a plastic side so they hold the liquid. I buy them at a hardware store or paint store.
Linda's reply to someone else's question. : was letting the pours dry for 24 hours before doing another pour. With the saran wrap it might take even longer. As you can see in the video some paint peeled off when I pulled the saran wrap off. If you don't want this to happen leave the saran wrap on longer. Dry air would be perfect for this technique. I deal with the opposite so I use heat and fans to try to hurry up the drying.
Thanks. So glad you like it! Thanks for watching! I use this technique in another painting here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--EEaB5H9HDs.html
I let it dry over night, longer if it's very thick. I want it to be completely dry before I remove the plastic, that gives the best result. Thanks for watching!
I was using airbrush medium until I found another product from golden called GAC 800, you should definitely look into it it's made just for these kind of paintings
+Kailey Bender GAC800 is very similar to the Liquitex Pouring Medium that is often used in these youtube videos. I think it would really help if they labelled it as such, instead of "GAC800: Reduces Crazing". It's excellent stuff though, and a great consistency for pouring. It also requires very little paint - a 9:1 mix with Golden Acrylic gives a rich solid colour.
yeah exactly Chelfyn Baxter ! I had never even heard of it before... I was in like a specialty art supplies store looking through all the mediums and i happened to see this on the bottom shelf.... before this i had been using airbrush medium. they really should label it differently
Chelfyn Linda, paint's consistency seem quite watery, and GAC 800 is thicker than water, also it dries with a yellow tinge. Most likely a Flow Aid additive or a Airbrush medium may work better for her method. Just a thought.
I leave it until the paint is dry and it peels off fine. If the paint is not all the way dry it pulls it up which actually happened in one area. It just made a different kind of pattern.
Hi Linda, I have a question (or two). Do your let a pour dry before you apply the next pour? Also, for how long do you leave the cling wrap on? Does your work take one hour, or one day or longer? I love your work. I am in a small town close to Las Vegas ,NV U.S. in the Mojave desert. and the air gets really dry here. 5% humidity. Would that make a difference?

This may be too late to get to you and help you. Problem with raw (un gessoed) canvas is that color will stain it, then you no longer have the freedom of selection. Stains will stay. Helen Frankenstein was doing it on raw canvas.
