Have you ever wanted to create acrylic pour blooms but got confused by all the different recipes and expensive pigments that people use? In this video I walk you through how I found the cheapest and easiest acrylic pour bloom recipe.

*For the final results the recipe was as follows* (links to products in Materials Used section)
*Base Paint* - ColorPlace Satin Classic Interior Paint (White)
*Pouring Medium* - This is made from roughly 50% water and 50% school glue. Then that was added to the Artist's Loft Metallic paints in a 1:1 ratio. Paint consistency was made to a good size mound (not mound upon a mound) and disappears.
*Cell Activator* - This was made from equal parts Amsterdam Titanium White and School glue. Water added to a consistency of making a very small mound and disappearing. The cell activator should be slightly thinner than the regular paints.

The important part was to blow very slowly down and then out. Vigorous blowing actually cause the paint to separate after is started drying. I do recommend either slowly tilting or using a lazy-suzan to distribute the paint evenly off the edges.
