How to Acrylic Pour with Glue / Elmer's Glue-All / PVA Glue - Acrylic Pouring for Beginners w/ glue
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2024
- Quick and easy walkthrough on how to acrylic pour with glue. Besides paint, pouring mediums are the the most expensive part of paint pouring. By doing your acrylic pours with Elmer's Glue-All, you can save money and still create some pretty amazing artwork. It doesn't hurt that you can find glue for a lot less then professional pouring mediums and it's available in places like Lowe's, Home Depot, Walmart, and your local craft stores.
We do not recommend you use clear glue or school glue as they have much less binder and are made to more easily clean up with water. Even adding a little water to those glues make them breakdown and become unusable for paint pouring. Do your acrylic paint pouring with a PVA glue or white glue like Elmer's Glue-All.
In this video I will walk through the steps to mixing your glue-based pouring medium. We mix 5 different colors of paint and use them for to pour a flip cup, a flip cup with silicone, and an straight pour. You'll want to see the amazing caterpillar cells I created and to see how vibrant my new Arteza Acrylic paints turned out.

Who tf is downvoting this?? Solid tutorial and helpful advice, thanks man. And your pour came out beautiful
Thanks so much. I do love these color combos for sure.
It’s becoming a trend to not like the truth, sadly. The truth is that some people are making a killing off of repackaging pouting mediums into a $50 small bottle vs an extra large $15 bottle. I REALLY appreciate those people that have experimented and are sharing the truth!! THANK YOU!!!
Love it
I agree. Why would anybody do a thumbs down?? He gives the best and most helpful information!
As of today, no one disliked this video...
Literally you are the only UA-camr that answers all my questions. No one else I’ve seen is as specific as you! You deserve more than the amount of subscribers you have!
Thank you. That means a lot. I found the same thing when I was trying to learn which is why I started this channel.
LeftBrainedArtist how come in your other video you said a 4 to 1 ratio for glue pouring medium but in this one you said 2 to 1?
So this is because of the paints I used. Arteza paints are really highly pigmented in my experience so I use a higher pouring medium to paint ratio. Saves me money by not overusing paints too as an added bonus. Many other student quality paints I only use a 2:1 ratio. I know the "it depends" answer isn't the best for new artists but the paint quality and pigment really make a big difference on outcomes.
LeftBrainedArtist Thanks!
@@LeftBrainedArtist if I do 4:1 ration for glue to arteza paint and 60% glue and 40% water, will that work?
You are the first channel that ever gave me a formula to make sure of less waste/enough paint!! Thank you!! After a year of watching videos - I feel much more ready to actually pour after finding your channel!!
Awesome Tonya. I am glad we could help. Have you grabbed my free paint calculation sheet from my website?
Thank you for your tutorials. I'm completely blind, and you have no idea how hard it is to find people who talk through all the steps without just sort of meandering off into commenting on how pleased/annoyed/whaatever-else, instead of continuing to talk through the process. Super helpful, and excited to watch more of your stuff. :)
Thanks for watching Katia. Glad to help.
That is a great point. I used to work for a blind center and they taught me so much and how to be more detailed in my speaking and more respectful of how I speak. They did more for me than I did for the agency. It was a lovely place to work. I had a great mentor who was blind and he was so patient with me. Many instructional videos only play music, which is frustrating. UA-cam should make it mandatory to make videos accessible to the Blind and the Deaf also. I agree!
I appreciate you showing how to mix the poor medium first and then also explaining how much to use with the paint that is very important for me as a beginner and I appreciate it
Glad it was helpful Gloria. Takes some practice but once you get the hang of it, you'll save yourself a ton of time and money this way.
You are the first person I've watched who gives exact amounts and details on how to combine everything! After this video, I feel more confident in trying my first pour. Thank you! The middle one is my favorite ❤️
You are so welcome Rea. Glad it was helpful.
So true
besides your math oriented brain and you cheatsheets really help my math deprived brain soo much!
This was so helpful with these side by side comparison, thank you for the awesome presentation.
Always a pleasure my friend. Glad they were helpful.
So useful, I can not thank you enough! I never saw so much silicone mixed with just a few moves and left alone. Beautiful! Your channel is the one to go for as a beginner!
Glad it was helpful Roberta.
Agreed!
All threes are amazing ! ONLY you help the beginners ! Wery big thanks !!!
You're very welcome Macska.
Turned out awesome!!!
Thanks Raquel.
Love it! Great vid! Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks!
Thank You David! I just got my Arteza 14 color set yesterday. I can’t wait to try out this exact same color and recipe you used. You have REALLY upped my success rate with my pours! I thank you for that, your channel is the best 😀
Enjoy your Easter weekend!!
Thanks Mike. Glad my videos have been helpful.
Again thank you so much for a great study and now I’m going to try only with Elmers glue to do my flow trawl I try so many things but I like to do that’s the same ratio that you gave. It was your Mother’s Day and thank you so much for your teaching you are a great teacher. With love Elana tell me something
You can do it!
For a beginner, I am so happy for this video. You explain everything so well. I watch your videos again and again, and each video helps me understand what I didn’t understand before. Thank you for your clear, concise method of teaching. I about gave up as I scraped off more paint as they all looked like a mess. I’m trying to find the “right” consistency of the paint and medium. Keep your videos coming.
If you haven't already, check out the video I did a few weeks ago about consistency. ua-cam.com/video/nZgXEAnE2zQ/v-deo.html Thanks for the comment and for your nice word. I really appreciate that Shannon.
I am bingeing on your website blog and videos. I want to acknowledge firstly that your artwork is just wonderful, delightful! But more important to me is how you teach. You seem to anticipate my every question and walk us through each and every nuance of what you are doing and that is so kind and helpful. And just as much I love that you are not "on stage" being cute, funny, or calling attention to yourself, you are a natural born teacher and artist. Thank you SO much for your tutelage and teach style and inspiring art, and also quick response to my question. Do you have anywhere in your classes how to pour on other bases, like glass or metal or plastic?
I don't have those yet but they are on my content list. My next set of courses is comparing and contrasting the popular pouring mediums. I would most likely look at pouring on Glass next as I get a lot of questions about that. Thanks for the suggestions and your kind words. My mother was a school teacher for many years so I am going to blame my teaching style on that. 😀
This is one of your most informative and interesting videos!! Thanks!!! I LOVE the colors!
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a fun one to make and I still have one hanging in my office.
Excellent video. Very articulate and concise. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome Andres. Thanks for watching and especially for the nice comment.
I appreciate your videos so much because you are so thorough in explaining how you measure and mix, what you use and your methods! It is so useful for someone like me who is still learning and experimenting with different paints and mediums. So thank you!
Also that ring pour in the middle turned out gorgeous - I will definitely be using glue for my ring pours from now on! 😊
You definitely can get some pretty awesome results from Glue-All. Just be sure to varnish any piece you want to keep.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Varnish? Like to seal it?
Wonderful paintings! I love your videos so much information.
Thanks Darlene. Glad to be of service.
Love these!! Learning so much! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! I love to make bookmarks and this method looks much easier than using paint skins.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for making the ounces and what I need to do more clearly than anyone I've seen on UA-cam.
Glad to help Helen.
I'm new to this art form Thank you for a very good tutorial All 3 of your pieces came out beautiful 😍 I'm looking forward to see more of your videos xx
Thanks so much 😊 Clasina. I hope they continue to be helpful for you.
Your in-depth tutorials are 2nd to none. Thank you for the formula to determine how much paint is needed. I haven't seen anyone else do that
😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much for the recipe for use with craft glue! I'm just starting out so I don't want to spend a lot of $. I got craft paint and cheap white glue which may contain more water. I'll have to check in that but it definitely isn't as opaque as elmer's glue. I may have to adjust recipe to account for that water. While searching for cheap alternatives I saw something that said you can get cells using glue and water but it doesn't look that way here. I'll just experiment. I have subscribed so looking forward to watching more! Thanks again!
Glue isn't the best cell former. However, it is a great lacing maker with the right colors/consistency. Lacing comes from a a swipe when you force the one paint over the other (swipe, dutch, etc.). You can add a little Floetrol to give some small cells.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very very helpful.
My pleasure Julio. Hope it helps your acrylic pouring.
All 3 are gorgeous
Gracias amiga! You are too kind.
WOW, THE THREE OF THEM TURNED OUT REALLY BEAUTIFUL, YOU ARE A GREAT ARTIST. 👏👍🤗 GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS FROM 🇲🇽.
Thank you so much 😊
I really like your channel, it is so useful for me as (still) a beginner, thank you for that!! I use glue and water myself, and like to do open cup pours, and it makes the most beautiful cells, so I would just mention that for you!
Wonderful to hear Tine. I do love open cup pours with glue for sure.
Thank you for this informative video. Learned so much from your videos. Keep it going!
TYVM.
I'm glad i found your channel ..this is so valuable thank you so much
So glad you are here too George. Don't hesitate to ask me or the Pouring Nation questions.
Not long started & your videos are by far the best ..you break down & explain every step simply....Great for beginners and those more experienced ..
As a dyslexic I find you & your videos a JOY 😊 your results are superb .
And the budget friendly options suit my limited income without compromising on effect ...
Thanks you ..from bonny Scotland ;)
Glad to help Lorraine. We'll be cruising around those parts this summer. So excited.
Thank you David! You just saved me at least 3 hours. I just bought a case of 6x6 tiles to practice on. 🥳🥳
Fantastic! I bought a case the other day. Love having them right there at my fingertips.
I’m from Mexico and this helps me a lot !!!! Thanks !!
Thanks for watching Sharon. Soy David. Mucho gusto.
Very, very interesting and helpful. Thank you so much👍
Glad it was helpful Carol. Enjoy your pouring.
This was a great tutorial- thank you🤩
Glad it was helpful Laurie.
Thank you for showing us how you mix your medium. Measuring by weight instead of volume didn't even cross my mind.
Either way works as long as you are consistent. Glad it was helpful.
These are stunning!!! All three! I couldn’t pick a favourite! Your colours are bang on!!
Aw thanks Kerri-Lynn. I appreciate that.
Thank u sooo much!! Wow!! I have so much clarity now that u broke it down. Great Teacher u are!! Thx for sharing!
Well glad to be of service.
I just added another comment today! I finally got some success due to your perfect explanation of pouring medium and easy math. The outcome is beautiful! Thanks for doing these videos. Have a great day.
And u are the answer to my long search for answers on my pouring paint adventure..thank you so much. I can do dis now whoaaaa😀
I'm so glad to help. You got this Sheila.
I love this. I want to do this for my son Patrick..all three are beautiful
My 9 year old loves painting with me Sharon. I think you'll have a blast.
I've always admired everything you do to help us out here who are just starting and not knowing to much. But when it comes to math and trying to figure out how much paint I'm lost lol..Everything you do that helps, I'm truly grateful for, thank u so much for giving your time and knowledge..
Have you used my calculator for figuring out how much paint you need? leftbrainedartist.com/acrylic-pour-paint-calculator/
@@LeftBrainedArtist Thank you David,no i have not used it but i will thank u again.
I never get tired of watching your videos over and over again, you explain everything in such a patient and detailed way that it is impossible not to thank God for insisting on finding a good teacher like you, thank you very much
Man, I don't know what to say to that Norma. Thanks for watching and the comment. It really does help the channel.
Thanks for the information concerning Elmer's glue all I got a bottle came home and immediately got busy mixing n well mad scientist type stuff...I'm happy for the help and for being my inspiration thus far keep up the great work... Chris 😎
Awesome to hear Chris. If you some some neat tricks let me know. Always looking for ways so save money and still make amazing art.
This was super helpful because it was sooo frustrating trying to figure out what I did wrong with this, thank you!!!!
So glad it helped Leslie. Let us know if you have other questions.
newbe here, your really informative, pointing out the pros and cons, and the cost is great. being new to this I must be money conscience. I will be following you and all your ideas.
Thanks Susan. Happy to help.
You may want to mention that the Arteza paint box has interesting information in the back of it. Loved the information in this video. Thank you
Oh thank you! I will totally do that next time I highlight their paint Noemi.
Amazing info needs as a beginner, thank you for educating us newbies👍🏻
You're so welcome Joie. Thanks for continuing to watch.
Wow thank you. This is so helpful.
You are more than welcome Rowena. Happy pouring!
This is fantastic. Like you, I'm a left-brain artist and like the measurements, weights etc. Thank you
YW Adriane. Glad to help out a fellow LB artist.
Amazing how different they are!
So true. These have a mind of their own for sure. Thanks Susan.
You are amazing! Thank you for creating this video. I am going to try a pour tomorrow.
You can do it! Let me know how it goes.
I will. I already ordered the glue tonight.
WOW, your channel is amazing, you covered almost everything, All the other channels just keep me so confused. Thank you so much
Happy to help Pam.
Arteza paints are excellent ...affordable quality.. i an new to pouring and i am making your pouring medium. thank u for your videos
Excellent Yama. Hope it helps you like it did me when I was starting out.
They all look Great! I am not a big cell fan but I do love the 'caterpillar' cells, I might buy a small jar & Try this 🤞. I Really appreciate your 'recipes". You're helping save a 'newby' from a lot of wasted work & product, which would've discouraged me. I think i would toss it in if not for your help. Thank You for this video & all the others , they are very very Much appreciated !! ❣
You are so welcome Rebecca.
I spend time watching this kind of videos and I was really amazed of color blending you made. I learn a lot from LBA. Susan King also good and Rinse Douna. I love you both👍
Thank you so much! That is good company to be in.
I love your videos!
Thanks again Ruth. So glad they are helping.
Yes arteza is an excellent product. Customer service excellent. Beautiful texture
Yes they are! I do with they sold larger quantities.
Thank you this was very helpful to us.
You're welcome Mary lou.
That glue was my first kind of pouring medium, but I started mixing it with glazing medium, and found that I really liked how that behaved. I found that the glaze took sooooo long to dry, though. And I see that you have an episode about disappearing painting! My daughter made me a painting on a black canvas, and the pouring medium I mixed up for her was glaze and Glue All, so it was a pretty, soft pink and white blooming painting. The next day I was looking for it, her painting was missing! Everyone else had theirs, but not Chrystal. There was a stunning galactic black and pink nebula that no one claimed. It took us a good hour before we realized that was hers! I proudly have that piece hanging in my living room. 😊
Ooh, that sounds epic. I have been unsuccessful in recreating the galaxy image I have in my head. I hope that day comes soon though.
LeftBrainedArtist i do have several questions about the weight of paints, and I am assuming you have a video about that. I will find it very useful to me.
Namely, I have questions like what exactly a cell activator is, is the weight of a paint related to the “Phalo”, “cadmium”, “titanium” in the pigment? I have no idea how to word that question. Lol, I will watch more experiments in the morning, I am sure you have already explained that.
I am learning SO much from your videos! I like the detailed explanations. A little tip from me. Use grams when mixing on those scales. the oz are always off.
Depends on the scale. Any time I am using smaller amounts, one or two ounces, grams works way better for sure.
So happy to see your views up to where I knew they'd be. Congradulations and thank you so much for clarity.
Thanks so much. This is one of the videos people seem to like the most.
Love this. Thanks!
You are so welcome! Always glad to help a friend.
@@LeftBrainedArtist You have some great info. Very helpful.
I heard one of you youtubers say they mix a day before. So I tried it. The paint was a lot smoother looking after letting it sit for 24 hours.
That is totally how I "should" be doing it. I am just too impatient sometimes.
Awesome. I've tried glue and water with little success. Now I know I didn't mix it well enough so am going to give it another go. Thanks so much
Good luck Vikki.
I like what you do about measuring your paint. I wasn't going to attempt to learn how to paint like this because I didn't think I could possibly afford all the wasted paint! Thank you, and now I can paint....all I have to do now is learn how ADD! (just joking) Best tutorial on UA-cam!
Thanks so much George. Glad to be of service. Also, if you put something like silicone or plastic below your painting you can scrape that up and put it in a container and use that for a base coat or a grey/brown color later.
I am so grateful for you tutorials. Your voice is so even and unaffected, your explanations are clearer and more applicable and you just get it...and give it! I love that you like Arteza, which I have shared with my 11 year old granddaughter and she is also a fan.arteza
You are so welcome! Wish they still had the cheaper multi-packs.
Consistency close ups are soooo helpful!
Thanks Emily. I'll keep doing them.
Very informative. Thank you.
Glad to help Elena.
Thank you! I’ve been looking for somebody to tell me that you can just use Elmers glue and water! The paintings look amazing! I like the first one the best!
Glad I could help Chrissy.
You are so welcome!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it Doug.
Thank you so much! I ran out of Floetrol and I was trying to figure out what glue. I tried the washable kind and your right it doesn't work right at all. I wished I had seen this before I tried that. 😊
Sometimes failing is the best lesson . . . OK "most" of the time failing is the best lesson. 😅 Luckily you aren't out much and you still got to pour. Good luck on the next ones. Let me know if you have any more questions I can answer.
@@LeftBrainedArtist lol Well with our failure you can enjoy success. Thats what I tell myself lol. I sure will. Its been a fun learning ☺
Love watching your videos. I have been doing this for about 3 years now and I still am having issues with what to do and how much paint to medium! Your so good at what you do! Thank you so much!
How can I help you Penny? If there are any questions you don't see answered in my video please let me know.
I agree, Pouring Your Heart Out channel is really good!
Love her.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. When purchasing paints what determines student,crafts etc.
Usually the manufacturer will tell you if they are studio, or beginner/student, or professional. Any brand that doesn't is probably a student grade (although I am sure there are some exceptions).
16:51 I love your channel, Just getting product to start pouring. I’m excited. You explain things so well. I pray my turn out just half as nice as yours. 😊
Mine don't always turn out great but I do learn every time.
THANK YOU, DEAR AND INCREDIBLE DAVID, YOU TEACH THE THINGS SO PERFECTLY THAT GAVE ME KIND OF COURAGE TO BEGGIN WITH THE FLUID ART, YOU ARE REAL NICE. BEST WISHES, GREETINGS AND BLESSINGS FROM 🇲🇩.
You are so welcome. I hope you start soon and love it as much as I do.
This is amazing!! Do you have a video on peeling techniques to reveal patterns or letters?
I haven't done a lot of stencil/taping pours but they totally work.
Btw I absolutely love all of Arteza products! Have not been disappointed.
Me too. Haven't been let down so far. I wish they would have stuck with the pouches though. So much easier to get every drop of paint out of.
Muy bien explicado. La mejor!! Muchas graciad
De nada!
Thanks for the video instruction! I will get some Elmer's GlueAll.
Good luck!
Great tutorial
Thank you!
Wonderful video!
I love the pouch paints. But alas, kitty loves chewing plastic more. Stuck with bottles here 😂
Haha. Looks like Arteza is moving away from them anyways unfortunately😫😩.
@@LeftBrainedArtist whaaat! But it's so spacially efficient!!
Surely they must make all of their business decisions on how satisfying it is for Tetris Brain?!
....no? Just me? Nevermind 🤣 ooohh that's a bummer. I'll never be able to get them but I appreciate them so so much. Alas.
QUESTION: How do you mix up tube paint for these applications? Love your results and technical info!!
Student level acrylics (not craft) are generally 2 parts medium to 1 part paint.
I am enjoying your videos,so much good 411, thank you. I got some Elmer's glue all and will try an angel wing pour tomorrow, definitely agree that one should practice technique until you get it before doing multiple techniques,thank you
It helps so much. So many people fail because they want theirs to turn out like someone who's done dozens or hundreds of that type of paintings.
We LIKE!!!!
8) TY so much.
These r beautiful....I love these tutorials.....great job... understood everything u said.... TFS Shelly from Colorado 😉❤️
I'm so glad to hear that Shelly.
Great video thank you.
Glad it helped Victoria.
Love the experimenting and your comparisons! Wondering, have you ever sprayed WD-40 (or any silicon spray) on the TOP of wet paint (w/o any silicon in it) that's been spread out on the canvas?
I have. The chameleon cells is essentially that. Kind of hit and miss on how well it turns out.
I like the one in the middle best 👍
Thanks for voting Brenda. These were fun to make for sure.
That's for showing how to mix These in simple ways
You are more than welcome Kato. Good Luck to you!
Thank you so much for such clear and detailed explanations. It's true, you are one of the best teachers out there. I'm going to buy Arteza paints and try a straight pour. My question is I would like to do a painting representing UVA's football team. How would you do it since they only have 2 colors: blue and orange? Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks again.
Use a Neutral that they use in their uniforms. Black, silver, gold, white, whatever it is. Or use shades of each color that they might also use.
@@LeftBrainedArtist thank you. I will try that.
David, I just want you to know how much you are appreciated. You have simplified this so much for me. You are a great artist and I love watching you. 🤗😉
Thanks good lesson.
You are welcome Vilma!
I love your channel and web blog, You explain things so clearly for other left brained people like me, lol
Is it possible to premix your glue and water into a large container and store it that way? Also can you mix your paint and glue mix together into squeeze bottles the way I do with floetrol?
Absolutely on both accounts. I take my leftover gallon container, mix 70% glue and 30% water and use that as my base pouring medium. That way I have the whole gallon pre-made.
Glue will keep for weeks if not months in a sealed squeeze bottle. Just make sure you are mixing it a little every time you use it because it does tend to separate after a few days (the water rises and the polymers sink).
@@LeftBrainedArtist do you mix your 4 ratio by weight or by volume. As you used the scales for weight, but you did mention the lines on the side of the jug and glue has a different density.
(Since I work in metric and do not have ounces as both fluid and weight measures).
@@robynjamiehughes9323 By weight (grams or ounces). You can do volume too but I find weight to be easier to manage.
Thank you so much for your informative videos! I'm watching them all and they have been so helpful. I haven't started yet but am collecting some supplies. But I think I might have made a mistake by ordering Elmer's School Glue instead of Glue-All. Will it still work do you think?
Yes it will for sure Terry. Especially for practice. You might use slightly less water as the school glue isn't quite as potent.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this great video! Very descriptive and helpful. I'm a newbie and definitely going to try this. My question is can you blow or use a blow dryer with this type of pouring medium method?
Sure can. A little thinner paint seems to work better for this but it is possible for sure.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback. Have a wonderful day! 🙏💕☺️
So so great! Did research with the Elmer’s glue all and they said the colors turn yellow overtime. Is it true?
Elmer's Glue by itself over years will yellow slightly. Used with acrylic paint that effect isn't near as noticeable but it does happen. I consider my glue painting's shelf life in the multiple decades or more especially after putting on a good varnish/finish.
Thank you for such a detailed tutorial. I’m about to do my first acrylic pouring art. What do you spray on the paintings? Is it just water to help get rid of bubbles?
That was a torch to get rid of the bubbles. Heat breaks the surface tension of bubbles and pops them.
@@LeftBrainedArtist oh! Looks like I’ll have to live with bubbles on my first attempt then. 😂
Thank i learned so much from watching you
Glad to hear that Jackie. Happy pouring (and 4th if you are in the states).
Very beautiful and you explained it very clearly . So you poured it on canvas without putting any pillow .
Yes, correct. I only use a pillow for certain pours or when I want to keep more of the outside of my composition.
