Foreword
Who is Rick Cheadle?
When I began searching the Internet for articles, tutorials, and videos on the subject of poured acrylic paintings, Rick’s name kept popping up among dozens of others. All artists were making names for themselves with this interesting art form. It took a while for me to start watching Rick’s videos because I was attracted to videos where the artist talks throughout the process.
Rick doesn’t talk much; at least, not in his videos. He teaches by placing instructive text at strategic locations in his videos and by personally demonstrating his techniques.
The majority of other artists’ videos showed how to mix, layer, then pour the paints onto various substrates. However, they didn’t address how to obtain consistent results in their desire to create cells,
which many beginners struggle with. As if he were reading our minds, Rick posted the outcome of his experiments with the different ingredients used to create mixtures that resulted in the almost-magical formation of cells, every time.
Rick, a successful self-taught artist with years of experience, knows the professional-grade art supplies he prefers are expensive and perhaps out of the price range for some beginners. To make this art form accessible to all, he began experimenting in his tutorials with house paints and inexpensive craft paints one can find at big-box
