2 Dutch Pour Techniques For Resin Art
Channel: ArtResin
Date: 2022-02-22

A Dutch Pour is a type of flow art that involves adding pouring medium to acrylic paint until it’s a pourable consistency.  Several colors are then poured onto a canvas and moved around with blown air (often from a hairdryer) to create cells, lacing and other colorful effects.

Guest artist Christine Fitzgerald is a Dutch Pour painter who enjoys putting her own creative spin on what she sees in nature.  Today, Christine shows us how to incorporate resin into the Dutch Pour technique in two different ways:

1) A Traditional Dutch Pour: using epoxy resin to clear coat an acrylic Dutch   Pour painting.
2) A Resin Dutch Pour: using tinted epoxy resin as a pouring medium to create a painting.

Christine demonstrates her most popular fluid art design, a Dutch Pour Sunflower painting, and shares many invaluable tips and techniques she has learned along the way.
