Paint Pouring Feather Blow Out - New Beginnings with Perfect Paints
Hello Creative People! Becky Conley here. I knew I wanted to try the feather blow out technique. I searched the internet for inspiration found this:
Supplies:
Perfect Paints Shimmering Matte Acrylics
Other Supplies: 12" x 16" canvas, Flotrol, black acrylic paint, metal pendant blank (misc), tools and adhesive.
Instructions:
Mix all paints with water and Flotrol to achieve desired consistency and color variations. I didn't have any purple, so I made 3 different shades of purple by mixing #1017 Red Wagon with #1032 Bohemian Blue, #1034 Barely There, #1035 Honey Gold, #1030 Washed Teal, and #1003 Rainstorm.
The background is basic black acrylic mixed with Flotrol and water. Pour and cover the canvas entirely.
Pour lines of colored paint diagonally up the length of the canvas. Pour some lines side by side and other lines on top of each other.
Using a hair dryer with a flow-narrowing attachment, blow the paint up and out to each side a little bit.
Use a narrow stick or end of a paintbrush to pull lines from the rippled edges to the center, creating feather marks. Also, pull a line up the center.
Here is a short video with step by step instructions
The first lines of paint I laid down were not thin enough in consistency and sunk into the black when I blew them around too much! Ha Ha :o) Live and learn. So, I thinned the paints out with water, laid them down again and blew them out with the blow dryer. The original video was over 30 minutes, I deleted all that mess, pondering and correction. But you can still see the process.
After the video, I knew it needed embellishing. I was able to ponder that for 4 days while it dried.
Using an area of paint that ran off the canvas, (after it dries completely, it's referred to as a "skin"), I peeled it off the tablecloth and cut it to fit inside the medium metal heart pendant blank. Attach the pendant to the canvas with an earring or brad, but also glue with E-6000 or other strong adhesive.
Seal the entire project with epoxy or other sealant.
Thanks for stopping by the blog! I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful today.
Becky
P.S. The "ghost" metallics you can see on the background are from those aforementioned sunken Perfect Paints Shimmering Matte Acrylics.
