Transform Cardboard for Stunning Paint Pours: Shellac Flakes & Fall Colors!

Hey everyone, and welcome! Today we're solving the biggest challenge for budget-friendly fluid artists: how to make cheap, accessible cardboard sturdy enough for wet, heavy paint pours. Cardboard warps and buckles, but not anymore! We are going to master using Shellac flakes to create an incredible sealant. Then, we'll celebrate with a stunning Dutch Pour Blowout using this rich, inviting fall color palette! Let's look at the few simple materials you need for this transformative process. Cardboard: Thicker corrugated is best, but this works on anything. Shellac Flakes: a natural resin. Denatured or 99% Isopropyl Alcohol: The essential solvent. Mixing & Application Tools: Glass or plastic container, stir stick, paintbrush, and gloves. Paint Pouring Supplies: Acrylic paints, pouring medium, and the air blower/hairdryer. We're making a "2-pound cut. A "cut" refers to the ratio of flakes to solvent. In this case, it's 2 pounds of flakes to a gallon of alcohol. Dry Time for Shellac: let it dry completely—allow 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your climate! What a great way to use up all those boxes I've accumulated from purchasing supplies! And a very cost effective way to practice new techniques. Join me in December to see how I will use my painted cardboard for a special treat! *If you haven't joined Nate Bright's Art Lab yet. . . you are missing out!
