#acrylic pouring for beginners

[the-great-zalmoxis]

Here are the steps and some tricks that I use to make water bases for my minis! (〃´▽`〃)

Thank you @lisuune for asking!~☆ I hope this will be of help!

1st step is to decide what the base "water" colour is!

For murky pounds you can use browns and beige, for a swamp, I use dark greens, olive, and sepia, for deep water the best would be shades of blue, depending of the depth that you want.

I'll use this mini as an example. I had some fun pouring cheap acrylics mixed with regular white/school glue (not obligatory, but I added a drop of silicone oil for the eye effects). I cut a plastic bag in two and let the acrylics dry. After acrylics dry, they turn to plastic, which is easy to cut and glued on the base.

(I need to flip my cutting mate, sorry for the mess (ó﹏ò｡))

Always let painrs dry in a well ventilated place.

2nd step is to decide what sort of "water" you shall use.

I am mostly using two materials, but there are a few others as well. I never tried them, but I read that people use transparent glue, varnish medium, or medium gel. I personally have experience with resin (both UV and regular epoxy resin) and clear acrylic.

(! Always work in a well ventilated space with resin ! It is super important, the fumes are toxic! Wearing gloves with resin is a must!)

When pouring, you can use a silicone mold for the base, or as my silly ass did the first time, use a little tape to create a dam (this only works if you intend to pour just a little).

Depending on how much you need, you can use: acrylic and epoxy resin for projects where you need a lot. Those allow you to pour multiple layers that will merge marvellously!

The trick is to be patient to let it dry, and pour very slowly to avoid air bubbles. Usually, a spritz or spray of alcohol is enough to eliminate the surface bubbles!

While acrylic is way safer and friendly for beginners, resin allows you to do neat tricks.

Use UV resin when you don't have to use a lot, because it doesn't layer as nicely as the regular one that needs to dry to gel (harden).

You can leave the UV resin under sunlight, and it will harden, or you can use an UV lamp, or flashlight, which will cause it to harden in seconds!

I made here a watter ripping by using a compressed air can and curing as it was blown into place. (*sensible chuckle*).

If you have fishing wire or transparent tread, you can pour a few drops on it and cure it for a cute splash effect!

As an extra, I use putty to make the "solid ground". I really like the Green Stuff world rolling pins, but a 3D printed one can work just as fine! (Don't forget to cover them with sculptor vaseline, or just water. For me, I prefer starch, that is why mine are so dusty)

I saw some beautiful basing kits from GSW, that I will absolutely buy to try. They have them for all kinds of terrain, including water, swamps, lava etc.

Happy basing !~♡

Okay, I could talk about each of these topics in greater depth, but I'll keep it boiled down or else I'll be typing for a loooong time. If anyone wants elaboration on the following steps or on any particular pieces I've done, let me know and I'll give more tips and tricks later :) Apologies for the formatting, I'm still getting used to posting on Tumblr

-------------------------

Step 1: Clean up and prep I start by sanding down leftover pieces and flaws in the model caused by the production process. In traditional model kits, these are pour tabs, flash and seam lines. For 3D printed, these would be pits or bumps left behind from supports and layers lines.

The arm and boots on the left are from a traditional model kit, and have visible tab chunks that will need snipping then sanding. S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N on the right needs his supports removed, then sanding. Every piece (minus those with fine texture) gets buffed with 240, 320, 600 and 1000 grit sandpaper/sanding sponges (clear parts and any pieces intended to be painted with clear paints, such as character skin, are additionally polished with a melamine sponge, also known as a magic eraser).

This is to make sure the surface is level and uniform. Any bumps or scratches that aren't removed will show up in the final paint job.

(Note for beginners: It's fine to just remove production remnants and do a little clean up before going to the next step. All that prep is tedious! Just have fun with it for now!)

Step 2: Make sure the model parts fit well together. It's very common for a model to not fit together perfectly right away. Dipping the model in hot water to soften it, then pressing the pieces together usually fixes this. Be careful not to burn yourself! Sometimes drilling and sanding is required. At this point, larger model kits will require drilling and pinning, though most are fine being assembled later just with glue.

Step 3: Primer

I secure the pieces on clips to keep them elevated, and spray them in thin, even layers of primer. Primer is essential, as it is what makes the paint stick to the model. - White primer: Best for anime and cartoon figures, makes colors pop - Grey: For realistic characters, dulls colors down a little. - Black: For metal or specialty products, like Armored Komodo pigments

Primer will make any unresolved blemishes become more visible, so I usually go back to step 1 until I get them all.

Step 4: Clear coat

For an even, level paint job, I spray a layer of Gloss clear coat on every piece, to smooth the surface even more. I skip this for finely textured pieces, so the details don't get filled in. Spray in a well ventilated area with protection!

There are many brands of clear coats. These are my favorites!

Step 5: Paint

I use three kinds of paint:

Lacquer: Expensive, take a little while to cure, must be thinned with a solvent. Sometimes hard to find. Offers lovely effects, is durable and sticks very well. Can be difficult to correct if something goes wrong. *HAZARDOUS, use in a well ventilated or outside area and use breathing protection!*

Enamel: A little easier to find, takes a long time to cure, which sometimes is a benefit, as it can level itself and provide a smoother surface. Must be thinned with a solvent, sticks very well. Most importantly, enamel can be used on top of lacquers and erased without damaging the lacquer layer. *HAZARDOUS, use in a well ventilated or outside area and use breathing protection!*

Acrylic: Great, vibrant colors, easy to find, very affordable! Dries very fast, even faster if you lightly use a hair dryer. Very delicate, prone to scratches and chips. Can be easily stained by other acrylic color. You only need water to thin it!

Left to right: Creos Mr Hobby Lacquers, Tamiya Enamel, Vallejo Acrylics

I usually start with the character's skin first. This is because I paint skin using built up layers of clear colors, to get a sort of 'glow' that shines through to the primer and differentiates the skin from clothing and hair pieces.

Afterwards and throughout the project, I 'save' my work by spraying a layer of clear Gloss or Matte spray. I use an airbrush, so to further protect other parts of my work, I cover the finished pieces in masking liquid and/or masking tape, before spraying the next color. Because Enamel can be easily wiped off of lacquers without affecting the lower color layers, I use this type of paint second. If you use Enamel first, you may run into issues with the underlying lacquer causing paint cracking in the future.

(Note for beginners: Using just acrylics is fine. :) I have painted entire models with acrylic paints obtained from craft stores and Walmart, and had very good results.)

Despite my masking, some enamel paint leaked through on Casey's neck. Masking is rarely perfect, so expect to do touch ups after removal.

Step 6: Face eyes and details

...this is an entire essay on it's own, which will require another post. But I use layers of enamel for eyes, water color pencils for eyebrows, chalk pastels for makeup/shading and acrylics for eye lashes.

I have shaky hands sometimes, so the ability to erase my work and start again is very helpful here, hence why I don't use lacquers for this part.

There are... So many products and colors in this one piece... Step 7: Touch ups then gluing

I typically do touch ups as I go, but now is the last chance to correct anything. Once it's ready, 2-part epoxy or crazy glue (sometimes both) will be enough to get most models together entirely.

----------------------------

That's a basic breakdown for my process, though for things like effects, clear pieces and fancier/realistic models, it can get quite elaborate. I don't want to scare anyone away from the hobby, so I'll just say this...

You don't have to do allllll this stuff!! Find a model you love (repainting dollar store figures is a great place to start!), prime it, and slap some paint on it! Just have fun, and then go from there!! My first model was lumpy, and looked like she was painted with nail polish, but I kept going and just enjoyed myself, trying new tips and tricks along the way. The point is to have fun! Make sure to take proper precautions and read product instructions as well, if you choose to use the more toxic products.

If anyone decides to give figure painting a shot, send pics of your projects my way, I'd love to see them!! :D It's always great to have more people in the hobby! And I'm always up for more questions, they might just take me a little while to get to replying.

Art Classes in New Haven: Building Skills in Drawing and Painting

New Haven is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant arts scene, and deep commitment to creative expression. Among the various disciplines taught across the city, drawing and painting remain at the core of art education. These foundational practices are essential for any aspiring artist, providing the tools needed to bring their ideas and visions to life. From beginners looking to explore their artistic potential to seasoned artists refining their techniques, New Haven offers a wealth of art classes focused on building skills in drawing and painting.

In this article, we will explore how these classes provide students with a deep understanding of traditional and modern approaches to these disciplines, focusing on the benefits of both. Although Joyful Creations Studio offers a variety of courses in both art forms, the city is full of additional opportunities for learning and creative growth.

The Importance of Drawing: The Foundation of All Visual Art

Drawing is often considered the most fundamental of all visual arts. It is the starting point for nearly every other medium, whether it be painting, sculpture, or even digital art. In New Haven, art classes New Haven emphasize the importance of developing a strong foundation in observational skills, line work, and the ability to translate the three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional surface.

Basic Techniques and Fundamentals

Many art schools and studios in New Haven begin their drawing courses by teaching the core principles of art: line, shape, form, value, and proportion. These concepts are vital for artists to accurately represent the world around them. Courses typically focus on still life, portraits, and landscapes, using traditional materials such as graphite, charcoal, and ink.

For beginners, art classes New Haven are often designed to break down the intimidating nature of creating art into more manageable exercises. Instructors guide students through simple practices, like gesture drawing, which helps them capture the essence of a subject quickly. Contour drawing, another common exercise, emphasizes the importance of observing details closely, training the eye to notice fine nuances in form and structure.

In these classes, students are encouraged to experiment with different materials, allowing them to explore various textures and mark-making techniques. Whether it’s the precision of a graphite pencil or the boldness of a charcoal stick, each tool offers unique possibilities for artistic expression.

Advanced Drawing Techniques

For those who have mastered the basics, New Haven’s advanced drawing classes provide a deeper dive into more complex techniques. Courses often explore figure drawing, where students study the human form, capturing its movement and anatomy. These classes are often taught with live models, giving students the opportunity to practice drawing from life, a critical skill in many artistic disciplines.

Perspective and shading are also heavily emphasized in advanced drawing classes. Students learn how to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality by mastering light and shadow. By understanding how to manipulate values, artists can give their drawings a lifelike quality, whether they’re working with pencil, ink, or charcoal.

Moreover, advanced art classes New Haven often encourage students to develop their own unique style and artistic voice. Instructors may assign projects that challenge students to experiment with abstraction, narrative storytelling, or even combining drawing with other mediums like collage or printmaking.

Painting: A World of Color and Emotion

While drawing focuses primarily on line and form, painting adds the dimension of color, allowing artists to evoke mood, emotion, and atmosphere. Art classes New Haven range from traditional oil and watercolor techniques to more experimental approaches, such as acrylic pouring or mixed media. These courses guide students through the process of working with paint, from mixing colors to mastering brushwork.

Oil Painting: The Classic Medium

Oil painting has long been regarded as one of the most prestigious and versatile mediums in the art world. New Haven is home to many art studios that specialize in teaching oil painting, offering students a chance to work with this rich, slow-drying paint that allows for blending and layering.

In oil painting classes, students often begin by learning about color theory and how to mix pigments to create the desired hues. Color is a powerful tool in oil painting, and understanding how colors interact on the canvas is essential for achieving harmony in a composition. Students are also taught how to build layers of paint, starting with underpainting and working their way to the final glazes. This technique gives oil paintings their characteristic depth and luminosity.

Instructors in New Haven’s oil painting classes emphasize the importance of patience and practice, as the medium can be challenging for beginners. However, once mastered, oil paints offer endless possibilities for texture, detail, and expressive brushwork.

Watercolor: Light, Fluid, and Spontaneous

Watercolor, in contrast to oil painting, is known for its lightness, transparency, and immediacy. Many artists are drawn to watercolor because of its spontaneity; the way the paint flows and interacts with water can create beautiful, unexpected effects. Watercolor painting is particularly popular in art classes New Haven, as it encourages artists to embrace the unpredictable nature of the medium.

In watercolor classes, students learn to control the flow of water and pigment, creating both soft, subtle washes and bold, defined strokes. The medium requires a delicate balance of control and freedom, making it ideal for artists who enjoy a more fluid, intuitive approach to painting.

Watercolor techniques such as wet-on-wet, where the paint is applied to a wet surface, and dry brush, where minimal water is used to create texture, are frequently explored in these courses. Classes also cover essential skills like layering washes to build up color and tone, as well as the importance of using high-quality paper that can withstand the medium’s demands.

Acrylic Painting: Versatile and Bold

Acrylic painting is another popular choice among New Haven’s art classes. Unlike oil paints, acrylics dry quickly, allowing artists to work more spontaneously and make adjustments on the fly. Acrylics are known for their versatility, as they can mimic the appearance of both watercolors and oils, depending on how they’re used.

Acrylic painting classes often appeal to beginners because of the forgiving nature of the medium—mistakes can easily be painted over, and the fast drying time allows for quick progress. Instructors guide students through the process of color mixing, brush techniques, and the application of texture, whether through thick impasto strokes or smooth, even layers.

For more advanced students, acrylic painting classes in New Haven may delve into experimental techniques, such as pouring, glazing, or using additives like gels and pastes to alter the paint’s texture. This allows for endless possibilities when it comes to creating abstract or highly detailed works.

Building a Strong Foundation: The Role of Art Classes in Skill Development

What sets New Haven’s art classes apart is their focus on not just teaching technical skills, but also fostering creativity, self-expression, and critical thinking. Whether it's drawing or painting, the city’s art instructors emphasize the importance of building a strong foundation in the fundamentals while encouraging students to experiment and explore their unique artistic voices.

In addition to regular classes, many studios, including Joyful Creations Studio, offer workshops, open studio sessions, and personalized instruction for artists who want to delve deeper into specific areas of interest. These opportunities provide students with the chance to receive individualized feedback and mentorship, helping them grow as artists.

Conclusion: A Nurturing Environment for Artistic Growth

New Haven’s art scene is thriving, with countless opportunities for students of all levels to build skills in drawing and painting. From mastering the basics of line and form in drawing to exploring the emotional depth of color in painting, the city's art classes offer a comprehensive and nurturing environment for creative growth.

With its wide range of traditional and contemporary techniques, Joyful Creations Studio and other studios across New Haven provide the perfect setting for artists to hone their craft, build confidence, and express themselves through art. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, these classes open the door to a lifetime of artistic exploration.

Unlock Your Inner Artist: Mastering Pouring Medium Magic!

Are you ready to unleash your creativity and dive into the mesmerizing world of pouring medium art? Whether you're a seasoned artist looking for a new technique to explore or a beginner eager to discover your artistic talents, pouring medium magic offers endless possibilities for expression. In this guide, we'll delve into the fascinating realm of pouring medium art and learn how to master this captivating technique.

Pouring medium is a versatile substance that, when mixed with acrylic paints, creates stunning fluid effects on canvas or other surfaces. It allows colors to flow and blend together in mesmerizing patterns, producing unique and unpredictable results with each pour. The beauty of pouring medium art lies in its fluidity and spontaneity, inviting artists to embrace experimentation and embrace the unexpected.

To embark on your pouring medium journey, you'll need a few essential supplies:

Pouring Medium: This is the key ingredient that gives your paint the desired fluid consistency. You can find pouring mediums at most art supply stores, or you can even make your own using a combination of glue, water, and a few drops of silicone oil.

Acrylic Paints: Choose a variety of colors to create vibrant and dynamic compositions. Acrylic paints work best for pouring medium art because of their quick drying time and durability.

Canvas or Surface: Select a canvas or surface to pour your paints onto. Canvas panels, wooden boards, or even ceramic tiles are excellent choices for pouring medium art.

Mixing Cups and Stirring Sticks: Use disposable cups and sticks to mix your paints and pouring medium thoroughly. Avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles from forming in your mixture.

Protective Gear: Since pouring medium art can get messy, it's essential to protect your workspace and yourself. Wear old clothes or an apron, and cover your work area with plastic or newspaper to catch any drips or spills.

Now that you have your supplies ready, let's dive into the exciting process of creating pouring medium masterpieces:

Prepare Your Workspace: Set up your painting area in a well-ventilated space where you can work comfortably without interruptions. Place your canvas on a level surface and ensure that it's clean and free of dust or debris.

Mix Your Paints: In separate cups, mix each acrylic paint color with pouring medium in a 1:1 ratio. Stir gently until the paint and medium are fully combined, but be careful not to introduce too many air bubbles into the mixture.

Layer Your Colors: Once your paints are mixed, it's time to start layering them onto your canvas. You can pour the paints individually or combine them in a larger cup to create a marbled effect. Experiment with different pouring techniques, such as the flip cup or the swipe, to achieve unique patterns and textures.

Let It Flow: Once you've poured your paints onto the canvas, tilt it gently in different directions to encourage the colors to flow and blend together. You can use a palette knife or a heat gun to manipulate the paint further and create interesting effects.

Embrace the Unexpected: One of the most exciting aspects of pouring medium art is embracing the unpredictable nature of the process. Don't be afraid to experiment and let go of expectations. Sometimes, the most beautiful creations emerge from spontaneous accidents and unplanned interactions between colors.

Allow to Dry: Once you're satisfied with your masterpiece, set it aside to dry completely. Depending on the thickness of your paint layers and the environmental conditions, drying times can vary from a few hours to overnight.

Protect Your Artwork: Once your pouring medium masterpiece is dry, consider applying a varnish or sealant to protect the surface and enhance the colors. You can also frame your artwork or display it as is to showcase your creative talents to the world.

With these tips and techniques, you're well on your way to mastering the magic of pouring medium art. So, gather your supplies, unleash your inner artist, and let your creativity flow freely onto the canvas. Happy pouring!

While the process can be simple for beginners, it can also become complex and intricate for more experienced crafters. From creating multi-layered candles to experimenting with various types of wax, the possibilities are limitless.

2. The Essential Tools for Candle Making

Before diving into the candle-making process, it's important to have the right tools. The key to success lies in choosing quality equipment that can handle the materials you're working with, and that’s where the Aai Planet Wax Melter 10 Ltr Capacity comes in.

Thermometer: Monitoring the temperature of your wax is important to ensure it doesn’t overheat or cool too quickly before pouring it into the mold.

Fragrance Oils: Adding fragrance oils to your candles can create a personalized touch. You can experiment with different scents and even blend oils for a custom fragrance.

Dyes and Pigments: Candle dyes are used to color your candles. These come in various forms like liquid, block, or powdered dyes.

3. The Importance of a Quality Wax Melter

5. The Role of the Best Acrylic Tea Light Cup for Candle

Tea light candles are a popular choice for many crafters due to their small size and versatility.

While the wax is melting, prepare your molds or containers. Insert the wick into the mold and secure it in place using a wick holder or by tying it to a stick that rests across the top of the mold.

Step 3: Add Color and Fragrance

Once your wax is fully melted, you can add any color or fragrance oils. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dye and scent.

Step 4: Pour the Wax

Carefully pour the melted wax into your molds. Be sure to leave a small gap at the top of the mold to allow for shrinkage as the wax cools.

Scented Candles: Adding fragrance oils to your candles allows you to create custom scents that can evoke different moods or memories.

Layered Candles: For a more advanced project, try making layered candles by pouring different colored waxes into the mold at different times. This creates a beautiful, striped effect.
