How To Prepare Canvas, Paper, Panel, Etc. For Your Medium Of Choice! Some artists buy low quality canvases or panels and never add additional primer when it screams for it.

Acrylic Pouring Techniques on Wood Panels - Amy Gardner Dean
At Jerry’s we were asked to do an acrylic pour through a colander, so we did 3 of them! We have some great art materials and supplies that are perfect for you to achieve great effects, colors and real vibrant pours for your acrylic pouring art. We used the LUKAS Cryl Fluid Acrylics, and Da Vinci Wood Panels (you can use anyone of our canvas too) so you can easily create yours and even hang them with ease. (see supplies for pour painting below for easy purchase)… always better with real art materials! Acrylic pour painting for beginners or for anyone that just wants to create some real neat pouring effects! Watch the video for all exciting ways to do acrylic pouring.
How do you keep your paintings looking vivid and bright? With this easy finishing touch, Allen will teach you how to apply a glaze or varnish to your paintings once they are completed. By adding a varnish, you are preserving your painting for years to come, keeping the canvas hydrated and making them easy to clean.
