In this video I show exactly step by step how I mix my paints with just paint and water and use the Dutch Pour Technique to create beautiful acrylic abstracts on canvas. I explain what creates cells and lacing in my experience and how I achieve those effects in my Dutch Pours. This video is guide for beginners who want to start pouring & learn how I create my Dutch Pours.
About me, I am a self taught fluid artist in Southern California. I have never taken an acrylic pouring course. I am a breast cancer survivor and started watching fluidart/acrylic pouring videos during my year of treatment.
Pouring art was a form of therapy for me during my recovery. It quickly became a newfound passion and I tried many different acrylic pouring techniques! I started attempting the dutch pour in 2019. I have been greatly inspired by Rinske Douna, Molly’s artistry, Fiona Acrylic and MelyD! So thankful for all their beautiful creations here on YouTube. Rinske Douna is the Dutch artist who originally came up with the idea of the Dutch pour, check out her youtube channel in the rare case that you have come upon mine without having seen hers!

My Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/michaelasartistry Buy me a Kofi—don’t earn anything from YouTube so any donation would help me create more videos as each video takes quite a lot of supplies and time
I buy most of my paints through Blick but when I need to get supplies fast I do buy from Amazon.
