Paint pouring tools
These are some of the mediums, surfaces, and tools I use when working on fluid painting.
I used these coaster blanks on some of my first fluid art coasters. I still need to find a place to buy in bulk, but I love how they turned out with these coasters.
4" Slate Coasters by Make Market®
I haven’t used this particular set yet, but I love creating painted magnets. I need to start buying these in bulk, so I might see how these are.
Canvas Magnets
I haven't bought this yet, but I am really wanting to try it out so that I can do more spinning with some of my fluid art and contain the mess. :)
FolkArt Drizzle Splash Guard
Plastic squeeze bottles with a narrow tip have been great for creating designs with my fluid art. It also allows me to mix up colors and use them for more than one project.
Detailer Writers
This just got delivered for me, and I am so excited to try it to help me do paint pouring on glass!
Golden GAC 200 Hard Acrylic Extender Polymer Mediums
This small kitchen butane torch helps bebop any air bubbles when I am doing paint pouring. Super easy to use and fill. The butane is sold separately for safety, but I’ll link the one I purchased that works well.
Sondiko Cooking Torch - Baking Tool
This is the butane I purchased for the torch I have linked above. It was really easy to use to fill the torch.
Xikar PUROFINE Premium Butane Fuel 1.9oz
General painting supplies
These are some of the supplies I use for a variety of different work.
Using the titanium white to create cells in my pouring pieces. I’ve see how cool the pearl paints work. Can’t wait to try those.
Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylic Paints and Sets
Loving this Meeden easel. The storage drawer is great, and I like that I can use it on the floor or a table.
Easels
Really liking how these feel and clean up.
Brushes Get it now - MEEDEN ART
Love using the larger flatter storage tray for my smaller bottles of acrylic paints. I like being able to see all of the colors at once, and the trays stack, so I can organize them by color family.
Brightroom Storage Trays | Multi-Size Plastic Organizers
I love this watercolor paper so far. It takes acrylic paint well, and I have even been able to use it to make some of my initial ACEOs.
Canson XL Watercolor Pads
I don't have these exact knives, but I love these styles of my textured art.
Blick Palette Knives and Sets by RGM
I like using these plastic palette knives to mix paints on my palette.
Richeson Plastic Painting Knives
I had been to one local Restore, and it was a great place to find things like putty knives, glasses, and old canvas paintings that could be repurposed.
