- Pastel colors are pretty easy to make yourself. It just takes a little bit of color theory and a bit of practice.

For this acrylic pour I started red, blue, and yellow. I added a tinsy bit of the complimentary colors from each (red -- green, blue -- orange, yellow -- purple) to dull the color and then I added white to lighted the value.
From there mix them like a normal acrylic pour. For this dutch pour I used 1 part paint to 2 parts pouring medium (American Floetrol) and then added water to a very thin consistency.
I used a dark blue - Payne's Gray like color as my base so the white heavy pastel colors would really pop off canvas.

The dark background really makes those pastel colors pop!
Thanks Chris. I love how it turned out.
I really like that! Yes the darker background makes it pop.
It does. It is drying really well too. I'll drop a picture in the community tab later this next week.
Those colors really pop on the dark background.
Happy Easter
I was really happy with the results.
This is absolutely stunning 🥰 Those colours with that background colour blown around from one patch in the centre would make a brilliant nebula art piece 😊
Great idea! I might have to try something like that soon.
Knowing what colors to mix is an art in itself, you always come up with such pretty outcomes. I like the pastels, it's so springtime.
Thank you so much 😀
This is so pretty. Just in time for Easter. Would love to see the dried results!
Coming soon for sure Regina.
Very pretty, really like that light green it made! It made it in all the right places ❤
Thank you! 😊 Anytime I use a blue base and yellow or gold I expect green so I don't add any in the pours.
Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing so much with all of us. I am learning a lot.
You are so welcome Alan. Glad to help.
Turned out beautiful. Thank you for the tips
You are so welcome!
Thank you! I really enjoy your detailed explanations of what you're doing and why. The thought process helps a great deal when trying to re-create a technique. Thanks again, very informative!.....and a very lovely piece as well!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching Jan.
That came out great 👍🏼 and Thank you for the info. You’re always so helpful.🙏🏻
You are so welcome Randi. Thanks for watching.
Your dutch pour turned out really good David. I struggle with this technique so much I gave up on it. I love the soft colors with the dark background. Thanks for all you do❣
You can do it Jan. How can I help you make it happen?
@@LeftBrainedArtist I can't seem to get the blow down, they look over blown and then I end up sticking my blow dryer in the paint because I'm to close. I've watched your video on how to do it several times and several other people and still my art looks horrible on a dutch pour. Now I am in fear mode.
I am cheap too. Love that you show it works!
Always! Glad to help people save some money.
Can we use the word "frugal" which indicates that it's a talent?!
@@Pamsmith59 Amen!!!
Thank you once again, David. You always have just what I need to make my pouring journey more rewarding. Blessings to you this Easter.
You are very welcome. Happy Easter to you too!

@@LeftBrainedArtist can’t wait to see more !
Very beautiful 😍❤️👍
Thank you Soraya. This one was fun to make for sure.
Great job… still trying to decide what technique I should do 🤣😂🤣 Happy Easter 🐰
What are you finalist techniques to choose from?
@@LeftBrainedArtist swipe a La Molly, modified Dutch Pour or my go to flip cup
@@mariontheantiquarian7849 Definitely try something outside your comfort zone. 😉
@@LeftBrainedArtist Colors & technique outside my comfort zone?! Sure… just push all my boundaries at once 🤣😂🤣
Very nice and informative as always. Recently I’ve seen people not use a basecoat and wonder if there is a reason that you might choose to do that? I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you again for all that you do to help us be better paint porters
The dry back just doens't let the paint move as much because of the rought surface of the canvas. It can work I just havent had great results with it yet (the one time I did do it haha).
Lovin' how this turned out. And the base color really shows it off so beautifully! Perfect colors for Spring too.
I musta' missed something ~ why wouldn't just adding white to the colors to turn them pastel work?
Technically pastel colors are not full saturdation colors which you'd get with just adding white. At least when adding white to a base color. They are more muted versions of the color. If you have a color wheel the pastels are not the outer layer but the next two layers for a specific color. But there are a lot of full saturation colors that get lumped in with pastels.
A beautiful mix of colours. I always have problems with yellow as the base colour (the one you buy, irrespective of brand) is usually transparent or semi. Do you find that by making it a pastel colour by mixing with white (a strong base) you would reduce the transparency of it? I am interested in your views in this. Thankyou for a wonderful but of art 🎭🎨😊
Adding an opaque white definitely makes the yellow way more opaque. Even a little bit of white can make the yellow semi-opaque vs the original transparent or semi-transprent.
Thankyou for that. I now have high hopes for future paintings 😄 tho the results may differ 😉🤣😂
Do you ever use BLACK as the background of a pour? Or is it too overwhelming to the other colors? LOVE your videos!!! Thank you!!
I totally do. Just make sure you use a quality black and not a craft black or it will take over.
Such a pretty one it is 👌🏼 Love the colours here..... Awesome.... Can you please tell me what kind of canvas you use? Does the roughness of canvas matters in acrylic pour? What's the best option to use?
This one is a Level 2 Artist Loft canvas from Michael (US Hobby Store). The roughness can absolutely matter, however when you apply a wet base coat like I did here it isn't really a problem. Most of the canvases you purchase that are pre-gessoed (white) won't be a problem at all.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Okay. Thank you so much for your response. I learn so many things from your videos. They are really helpful. And when I have a doubt I always ask in the comments section on your videos because I know you will definitely help me out. You are one such kind person who always replies to our questions. Stay blessed!
Looks fantastic David. How did it dry?
Not fully dry yet but it is pretty much the same with the base going much darker almost black.
When you do the blowing what setting is your hair dryer on for the heat or cool and low or high for the blowing
Cool always. These get hot enough to dry and burn your paint.
What brand of paint do you use? I’ve used Liquitex my whole life but with it being so expensive, I don’t paint as much as I’d like and I really want to do more acrylic pours
I use all sorts of paints. I have started to do some videos reviewing paints especially based on their costs if you are interested here is the playlist - ua-cam.com/play/PLKk4aJZ4hp_UKrzzkXGDLcp3ZyP85rx6K.html
@@LeftBrainedArtist cool, thanks! I’ll check it out
When you use the blow dryer do you use high or low settings ?
Low for my big one and high for my small/travel one.
I also like a black background, but each time I try to make a composition, the black paint comes up to the surface and creates a lot of black spots. Any idea how I can avoid that? I see that you don't have that problem....
You need to use a higher quality paint as your backgroun paint. Amsterday or one of the nicer student level acrylics. Cheap black is very lightweight and will "rise" up through other paints.
@@LeftBrainedArtist All my paints are Amsterdam. Could it be a paint consistency problem? I have watched lots of videos, and it seems that the paint for the base layer has to be VERY thin.... The other colours have to be very thin, too?
@@Kirlars A thinner base will make the overall paint less dense than other paints and could cause this also. I keep my base and my paints the same consistency for a dutch pour.
Have u realised the Crocodileface? .....and under them und can see a womans eye.
How do I never see these? I totally do now that you point them out though and I can't unsee them. 👀
Haha. Amazing what you can see when your brain is so attuned. Results from time spent gazing at clouds!! I see a blue stork face (top right) yellow crocodile (in the middle) and blue mouse (bottom left) but can't find the woman's eye😢
