/r/Pourpainting has gone private in protest of Reddit's attack on 3rd Party developers and not-for-profit API users. We recommend contacting Reddit administrators to let them know you do not support their corporate hostility, and demand they reverse their stance.

NEW TO ACRYLIC POURING?

Posts must be directly related to pour painting and other fluid arts.

  • Images of things "inspired by" or "reminiscent of" pour painting will be removed.

  • Digital posts will be removed, unless they contain the original, unedited version of your painting displayed as the first image in the post. Digital alterations, like level balances, photoshopped additions, staging backdrops, etc. can be fun to see, but this subreddit is dedicated to the physical medium, not digital.

  • Art must be some form of fluid/poured medium, like acrylic pours, alcohol inks, resin pours, etc. Non-related abstract art, oil painting, brush-painted pieces, etc. will be removed.

  • Artists are allowed and encouraged to share links to their work outside of Reddit, like youtube, etsy, instagram, etc.

  • NFT/Crypto is not allowed, not as a main post and not as a comment, whether or not the content features pour painting.

  • If the author of any post wants criticism and critique, they'll ask for it.

  • Paintings with NSFW themes are allowed, when properly flaired. NSFW content outside of the painting itself is not allowed.

Posting Other Artist's Work

  • ONLY if you link to their website/profile.

  • Posting sourceless art will result in a warning, then a ban. Taking credit for another artist's work will result in an immediate ban.

  • If you can't find a source, link the art inside a self-post and ask.

Selling Your Art

  • OK to post one (1) direct link to purchase new art per day. Don't spam!

  • Reddit has no buyer/seller protection, so sell through etsy, ebay, paypal with seller receipts, etc.

Reddiquette

  • When posting multiple paintings, site-wide guidelines suggest you should present multiple images in a single post (or Imgur album), rather than submitting multiple posts to the subreddit in a row.

  • If you want to share additional photos or videos of the same painting, please wait at least one day to submit a new post.

  • Moderators may remove back-to-back posts if the submission rate is excessive, in order to maintain a fair community standard for all users.

User Flair

  • Edit user flair underneath the 'subscribe' button.

  • Choose the social media/store you can be found on, and enter your username so others can look up more of your work! Message the mods if your platform of choice isn't an available flair.

  • If you want to use the 'Discussion' flair, be sure to start a discussion in the comments immediately after posting. The flair means you are starting a discussion and are ready to participate with other redditors. If you want critique on your piece, use 'Critique' instead of 'Discussion'.

Be Safe!

  • Exercise caution and stay safe.

  • Work in a well-ventilated area.

  • Follow good fire safety when torching.

  • Don't eat/drink art supplies, etc.

  • /r/PourPainting only advocates safe & responsible painting practices!

Where can I find the best deal on Australian Floetrol?

I've been searching online but found that even on Amazon, Australian Floetrol is very pricey for such a small bottle. Thought you guys might recommend the best bang for my buck. Also, the red label is the Australian version and the orange is the American version, correct?

Gold, black and white. Thinking about selling, but no idea how to price.

Been playing with paint and creating wall art for myself, thinking about selling some. Realistically, how much would this possibly be worth ? Size is 30cm x 40cm. Thank you :)

Noobie Question - looks like wet tissue paper torn

Hi all you brilliant artists out there. My research has led to a dead end.

Sometimes when pouring, after tipping and letting the excess paint roll off, I end up with what looks like wet tissue paper that has torn. Another visual is trying to put gold foil on anything. It just tears and rips between your fingers. I've attached a photo, I hope that you can see what I mean.

I suspect it probably has something to do with consistency. Base too thick? Top to thin? I did test my consistency before pouring, but maybe that wasn't as accurate as I thought.

If anyone can identify this behaviour Id be very grateful.

P.S. Sometimes it can look cool. But frustrating when it's not what you are hoping to do.

Was gonna pour another cup but wait… 👀 (check description)

I originally intended to cover the entire canvas in paint, but as I was tilting the canvas to spread the first cup’s paint, I noticed a silhouette of man start to form, then a smaller circular silhouette to the right of the man formed. It’s a man with a robot/android sidekick. 🧍🏻‍♂️ 🤖 I’m thinking of paining the empty parts of the canvas in a solid white or black (or both—black and white diagonally split in the middle) . I’d like to outline the silhouettes with black to give depth and shadow. Again, I’m still learning and practicing a lot, so any feedback or impressions are appreciated!
