Have you ever struggled to know how much base paint is the right amount for your #dutchpour #acrylicpouring paintings? Trust me, it can be tricky to figure out. I’ve created hundreds of paintings using the #blowdryertechnique. I’ve learned a few tricks along the way, and I’ll be sharing #acrylicpouringtips I’ve learned in today’s video.

In short, less base paint will create more defined edges on your #blowout, and more paint will create a more wispy look to the edges of your dutch pour. But which look is right for you? Only you can answer that question, but in this video I hope to give you some tips so that you can feel more confident achieving the look you want for your #artisticstyle.

#zenartsupplies sent me a set of amazing Fine Line Miniature Brushes to try out on the fine details of my paintings. I’ve been anxiously awaiting their arrival, and I have to say, they are AMAZING!! My favorite feature about them is that the brushes feature ergonomically designed birch wood handles that improve grip, stability and comfort for painting fine details. I was shocked my how much control I had over the fine bristles of these #minipainting brushes. Stunning! #tinypainting

    4:47 I think BOTH are beautiful!! Absolutely perfect!! I appreciate your video because it showed me how to do a blow out better than other videos I have watched.

    Ok i watched this one again and can't get enough of it. Sometimes it's not about the bloom. It's the flow and colors and shapes. I prefer your blooms over anyone else's because others put piles of paint in the middle and blow it out into what looks like the cat threw up. I enjoy this one and don't stop making them your way just because they don't look like the others' you have a unique way of doing them and we need variety so each of us can choose what style we like. :}

    That's what I've been looking for, it's the most beautiful I've ever seen!

    Soooo pretty Love the effects you got with the finger swiping and then the embellishments
  • @juliegilmore7899
    I watched this again because i wanted to go back to the basics to figure our what i am doing wrong. I never get tired of watching this and it's just as beautiful as the first time i saw it. So I think part of the problem is i have been using such small canvases that there was no space and time for the colors to flow together so i got a few bigger ones and am going to try them out and i bought a travel hair dryer the World's Smallest Blower is cute but i think it set me back and that was so frustrating. Thanks for all the advice i will keep on keeping on. Hope you had a great holiday.

    Genius the way you changed the painting, Becca. If this was class, your creativity would have brought an A- to a solid 4.0.
  • This is my second comment. Because I just saw the very end. I love what you did with the white on the brush on the left side of the painting. I think it made it even better and what a lovely lovely painting😊
