Now that you have all of your supplies and your project space is prepped, it’s time to mix up your paints! If you are working with regular acrylic paint, start by pouring each color into its own separate container. Then add the same amount of pouring medium into each container and mix it together with the acrylic paint. You should continue mixing until the mixture has a thin, syrup-like consistency—it should be thin enough that it will easily flow off of a spoon when held upside down over your canvas.

If you are working with ready-to-pour paints, you can simply add them each into one cup if you'd like to do the "dirty pour" method I'm demonstrating in this tutorial.

Now comes the fun part—creating your artwork! Begin by pouring small amounts of the colored mixture onto the canvas in any pattern or design that you like. Feel free to experiment with different patterns and designs as well as different amounts of each color.

Once all of the colors are poured onto the canvas, use a heat tool set on low heat to blow across the surface until all of the colors begin to blend together in swirls and patterns.

Depending on how much movement you want in your painting, this could take anywhere from one minute to five minutes. When finished blowing across the surface, set aside for 12 hours so that it can dry completely before adding any additional details or embellishments.

Once your piece is completely dry, you can create a shiny, protective topcoat for it by pouring epoxy or resin over the top.

Mix your resin and the hardener and stir well.

Pour evenly over your surface. Use a craft stick to spread or simply use your gloved hands to smooth over the entire surface.

Hit it with the heat tool again to pop any bubbles and to move it around.

This is the fun part! Wait, I already said that... lol! This whole project is so much fun! I took a Dollar Tree galvanized metal script word "welcome" and spray painted it gold. Then I added it to my piece using hot glue.
