hello my creative friends Olga from Smart Art materials here and today I'm
going to show you a blown flowers acrylic pouring technique but at this
time it's going to be completely different from the rest of my floral
videos plus I'm going to show you an easy and fun technique on how to create
flower leaves to find out exact colors that I'm using as well as a recipe of
how I mix my paint with floetrol check out the description under the video
alright let's blow some flowers first of all I'm layering base white color for
negative space and I like to add a little more water to the base color to
make it more fluid but don't make it too runny and I also make sure to cover the
sides so I don't need to worry about it later now the flowers so first create a
small puddle of paint with 3-4 colors
and then shaping the future petals and I find that this little step makes a
huge difference it helps to make those flower petals a lot more defined and the
result looks just great so you can use a painting knife or the handle of the
brush or just anything with a pointed tip and now just blowing the paint don't
blow too hard work rather slowly and gently and always try to blow away from
yourself it gives a lot more control so rotate the canvas as many times as
needed
as you can see I'm using a metal straw instead of the plastic one and I'm
trying to cut down a plastic waste in my art practice and in my life and if you
want to find out how to minimize the waste involved in acrylic pouring check
out this article on my website
now I'm going to add leaves to my flowers so first just creating the
shape of the leaf with a central line
and again you would need something with a pointed tip so just doing few strokes
from the sides to the center and then one more stroke through the center to
make those lines smoother and that's all it is
alright guys that's everything for today if you give this technique a try please
