In this class you will learn how to do a Dutch Puddle Pour Painting method to create some beautiful detailed flowers using only a straw, no brushes needed. This technique is really easy to do no matter what your level of painting experience is.

Beginners will love this style of painting because of the ease of the application of pouring a paint mixture in puddles onto the prepared canvas and using a craft stick and straw to paint your flowers. I will teach you how to mix your paints on the description and how to paint your piece every step of the way. Feel free to choose your own colors that you like.

Prep your work space and materials before you start
have all paints premixed and ready to use
have plenty of paper towel make sure to wear vinyl gloves for easy hand clean up

Try and use different color combinations that you like and you can try blowing out different shapes and sizes of flowers using your straw.

Please share your unique paintings in the project gallery and and any tips or tricks you may have learned!

SUPPLY LIST WITH LINKS

*****please note in the video I said latex gloves but I meant to say vinyl gloves because some people are allergic to latex and the vinyl gloves go on and off easier and can be reused!************************

You can use any acrylic paints you may already have or I like to use Artists loft paints & supplies from Michaels Arts & Crafts or Dickblick blickrylic paints, some supplies can be purchased at the dollar store like plastic table cloth, paper towels, paper 2oz. dixie cups, plastic squirt bottles with lids for mixing paint , & vinyl gloves some links provided below:

Background Paint mixture: white paint mixture = 1 part white paint: 2 parts Floetrol : 30% water

Directions: 1.5 oz. white paint Artist's loft Flow Acrylic White , 2.5 oz. Floetrol, to 1 oz. water shaken in a closed squirt bottle.

Lay down plastic table cloth on work surface and place canvas corners on top of 4 solo cups inverted to lift canvas from table so that paint can drip down sides of canvas onto plastic table cloth or wax paper to be trashed when dry usually in 2 days. Varnish in 2 days if preferred, then you are ready to hang it up on the wall and enjoy your masterpiece!
