Acrylic Paint Pouring | Experiment: Pearl cells WITHOUT Decoart Extreme Sheen or Milk Paint
Over the past few months I’ve noticed that when I would use the Anita’s craft paint, I would sometimes get pearl like cells. Today I did an experiment to see if I could intentionally replicate the effect and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I have found Anita's Craft Paint in store at Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's, with the largest selection being available at Hobby Lobby. I hope you enjoy this video and learn from it.

I have actually heard other pour artists say to stay away from Anita’s paints. I will definitely give these a try and see what I get. Michaels has discontinued milk paint, here in Texas at least, but I was able to get a bottle of light pink. If I order it the price ranges from 7.00-13.00 +shipping, so I’m thinking I may not have the opportunity to do much painting with milk paint. Thank you for taking the time to do this experiment and video it for us. You are the bomb 💣🎨🖌👩🎨
Thank you so much for this. I am on fixed income and paint is my pain therapy. Youve helped me so much 💙
I like that you are showing affordable ways to paint pour…thanks
You could probably do a cloud pour like Mely D does with that Anita’s craft paint. Thanks for this doing this experiment.
I use a lot of Anita’s
