Acrylic Cell Painting

Hi everybody,

Here is an acrylic cell painting that I just made a few minutes ago. Tomorrow I’m going to be teaching three classes and it’s all going to be on acrylic cell painting. It is also known as an acrylic pour painting. Basically what you do is you take acrylic paint and mix it to a thinner consistency using some water, floetrol and silicone oil. Kids can mix glue and acrylic paints to get the desired results. It won’t last as long though. I love the silicone oil because it makes the paint disperse and that’s why there are all these really neat flowing cells and patterns. There are so many techniques to use and awesome results.

Hope you have a good week!

Stay tuned for some of the students’ featured artwork!
