How to Do a Marble Pour - Acrylic Paint Pouring - Fluid Art

 



I haven't done a Marble Pour before. So, thought I would give it a try. I have been watching quite a few YouTubers doing marble pours and their final paintings look so good.

So, what exactly is a Marble Pour?? Basically, what you do is lay down your paints onto your canvas or whatever you are using any way that you like. You can do puddles of colors, ribbons of colors or just splash the paint around anyway you like.

The next step is to put a marble onto the canvas and while holding the canvas with two hands, tilt it back and forth and round about moving the marble all over the canvas running through the paint.

What you get in the end is a truly interesting painting. Above in the image is the final outcome of my first attempt at a marble pour.

I really like how it turned out.



Colors used in this pour - Mont Marte pre-mixed paints. (These paints are excellent for beginners. No need to mix or measure, just use straight from the bottle) Ultramarine Blue Cerulean Blue Mid Green Dark Green Gold White - for the base Oh, and of course, I used a few marbles as well. 😄


I used a small 4 x 4 inch canvas for this pour. This was just a test pour, so, I thought a small canvas would be suitable. Hope to do it on a much larger canvas at a later date. Once I feel that I have mastered the technique.





I laid the paints down in puddles over top of a white base of paint. As shown in the above image.





Next, pop on a marble and run it through the paint several times.




And, finally above is the finished painting. I love it.

I always have Print on Demand sites on my mind when I produce my artwork. Redbubble is just one of the sites I share my designs on. This above design looks really good on the products. I quite often embellish the final artwork to enhance it. With this one I turned it into a repeatable pattern which also works really well on the products. Image below...




Then of course I added a Mandala image to this too, I really love how it looks.



Below is the quick creation video I did for the marble pour. Not detailed , but, you get the idea of how to do it.

And, once again as I did in my previous pour, I digitally enhanced the above design in many colors and, with different Mandalas on them.  They all look great and are now also up on my Redbubble Store.  Just a few below.









Some of the products shown below as well. Do you like these?? Let me know in the comments below?

I am so happy how these turned out. I am really loving Mandalas!


Did another marble pour on a black base.  Not a fan of the dark gloomy colors in this one. But, turned out not too bad. I think I will try a lighter background for my next one. I prefer bright and colorful paintings.

Embellished. 



Looks good on a wall!



The dark and gloomy did not sit well with me, so, my next marble pour was all bright colors. Reminds me of the 1960's. Very psychedelic. Yeah Baby! 


Below is the creation video showing how this one was made.



And, of course it has been uploaded to my Redbubble store and looks really retro on their products. Some of them below.

Colorful Flip Cup #fluidart #acrylicpainting #paintpouring


 

I really like doing Flip Cups, they always turn out so differently.  In this pour I used Silicone oil to encourage cells to form. Yep, I got some huge cells, not exactly what I was going for. And, they are rather out of shape, I really wanted nice round ones. Oh, well, maybe next time!!




Colors used for this one listed below and in the image above.  Except for the black, I forgot to use it. 

Mont Marte - Light Blue Mont Marte - Phthalo Turquoise Mont Marte - Ultramarine Blue Mont Marte - Mid Green Mont Marte - Dark Green Mont Marte - Shiraz Mont Marte - Silver Expression Art - White Put a few drops of Silicone in each of the colors except the Silver and the White.


8 x 8 inch canvas



Taped two sticks to the back to help with tilting!



Colors ready to go....



After the flip and tilt...



Notice how the cells are not round! I had too much paint on the canvas, and by the time I tilted the excess off, my cells were shaped like this. But, I still like the final product, which I then embellished with a Mandala. 



Looks good! Below is the final painting before I added the Mandala. I am so glad I added the Mandala! Really makes it pop!



Below is the YouTube creation video. Start to finish.


The Mandala looks good on a wall!



I have uploaded the images to my Redbubble store and they look good on the products, some of them below -

Love how the Mandala looks on the products. So much so, that I digitally enhanced the image and created more images to upload to Redbubble.  I will share some of those further down....
