Karen, watching you work inspires me every time. I *really* like this piece. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful work with us.
You are cray cray if you think I am fast forwarding thru the viewing of your finished paintings. That’s the 2nd best part of the video. 😊 I LOVE all of them that you showed. I could have a whole wall of your paintings and sit all day looking at them. You can’t go wrong with the colors you used in this video. So classy!
Roxi Cole 😳🤣🤣😂
💖💖💖 completely love the reinvention! 😊 I would say...always trust that eye of yours...100% right choice. You spoke of glaciers...very current...’the melting’ 😊 Love it!
Love your work. Spent every summer in Baltimore as a child and love listening to you talk. I will be watching more!
I love your technique of taking a chance and just chugging the paint on the canvas and coming out with a monumental pour. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Yea!
Beautiful color combo and composition in both. I cried when you scraped it *****
you're the only artist I have seen that can turn a disaster into something absolutely gorgeous. You have just started to fix this one that you're working on and I know it will be another beauty without even seeing it. I think you're that good.
This turned out great. I love how you never just settle but keep at it until the Ta Da is realized!!
You just use the little wooden pegs that come with the canvas to straighten out the canvas.
Love your work.
Thankyou for sharing.
I love your sayings like "all get out". I am Australian and say that myself but haven't heard anyone else say it before.
Wow! The first one! Stunning!
Love watching you, I agree you saved the day by pouring over it. Just beautiful!
Mind blowing, after you magical over pouring, it came out awesomeness!! Welcome back!!!
WOW.....IT IS FABULOUS! Love that you are so game to go on it a second time. It really paid off.
Love when you throw caution to the wind and just go for it ... one of your best
Another great save...So look forward to your funny conversations :-)
Great pour Karen. To me it's a little beach enclosed by mountains. TFS 💕🎈
And that is why you are such a great artist! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 it dries well!
👋 Karen so I have made my ☕️ now 45 mins of real entertainment. 😀
Gorgeous preview of dried pieces. Thanks for hint about print.
I adore your last dried southwest pour looking forward to the rest.
McEart hilarious kiwi girl 😂. Wish 🥵 water tighten my non taut bits.
Loved how you threw paint over to drown those damn 🐛.
I Do That or I swipe another colour or swipe completely off hey my name on it.Karen NZ
Love it love it love it amazing !!! ❤️❤️💕😇
I loved what you called this one!!! It's amazing, you struggle with one picture decide you hate it. Mix up some more throw it on and you have a great piece. How??? And no caterpillars. You must have frightened them with their lives. That was a lovely pour and I love your long videos. Nothing worse than sitting comfy for a 8 minute video. All went well today. Look forward to the next one. Take care and stay safe 💖💖💖
Karen, caterpillars or not, I love all your pieces and I absolutely love watching you. You are very entertaining! Your work is amazing!!!
Missed you. I love the cells that look like rocks. It’s all personal preference.
Glad to see you back again!
I agree...the added divebomb cup did wonders for the composition💯💕
Over 6k subscribers!!! 😍 Keep up the great work. McE Art did a sandwich pour about a year ago I believe, but I enjoy how yours have the colors (usually blues and golds) boldly peeking through small areas.
Both have in common the striations...I like the ‘throw it on’ approach. It seems more serendipitous, somehow.
If you place your twisted canvas on a flat surface, place 1 brick on each corner,with a piece of fabric under the brick to protect your paintings, it should straighten your frame,it worked for me.
You are really great I love the picture in black white and gold awesome
thaks for staying strong on showing us you talking to us. its very fun. beautiful art work . as soon as i get all the stuff me and my son are going to try this affect around my paintings . if you want i can let you know how it comes out. im excited to see it myself. for some reason i cant catch your potions. no biggy my son will get it for me
I love it warp and all. Your are awesome
What a fantastic save. Beautiful.
Karen, I LOVE this! :D You totally went for an adventurous change in the middle of your pour and it turned out great! You are a joy to listen to and watch. Sometimes I just turn on one of your videos when I'm painting for inspiration and entertainment. ;) And yes, isn't Michelle Edhouse (McE Art) hillarious! I bet the two of you would become fast friends.
Love your pours....sorry.... love your caterpillars!!!!
You are awesome! Love all your paintings. Like you, I have LOVED Michelle from the first video I watched on her channel. Same goes for you. You are two girls I would absolutely love to hang out with, I know we would have a blast! So thank you for entertaining and educating me at the same time! Lol
Great tip on watering the canvas, it also get out dents...
LOL I only eat dark chocolate too! Those look amazing!
I love it 🥰
I love your work! Big fan!
I love this!!!! That's what I do too🤣 I threw the paint on the canvas 😍🤗❤
If you go back and look at the part where you mixed the new batch of gold, you said you stirred the silicone more than normal and no caterpillars. And you stirred the heck out of the black I think that is the secret, stir the silicone more. Love the fix!
I really like this piece.
Love it!!!! The little rivers if cells!!! Awesome!!! Love your enthusiasm when you bombed it! I did a small experiment about caterpillars, when I put the drops of silicone right on top of each other in the cup, no matter how much I stirred, I got tons of the buggers.... I might be way off on this but that kinda helped me kill a few caterpillars...
Love this gorgeous
That turned out Stunning
Thanks for the warning on the cradle boards from Masters Touch! I haven’t poured on any yet but plan to.
Was wondering where you were. Love how you just flung the paint on! Turned out super cool.
The blowout pours dried beautifully!
This is great
Julie Cutts makes her metallic a bit thicker than the other paints so they don't disappear. Seems to work for her and I do it too with success.
i think the caterpillars are maybe because you don't stir your silicone in much. so you are getting small 'streams' of silicone droplets in your paint. i think you've said before that stirring silicone in thoroughly would mean small cells but that's not my experience. i think cell size is more to do with the paint consistency. but that's my opinion, not a fact, so feel free to ignore me :)
Jen W that’s what I think too!
Great save, in my opinion. I love this one! Swashbuckling music in the background adds drama. Such a fun video! My husband keeps asking what I’m watching. Duh, right? 🤣🤣
I woke up desperate to make a gold a green painting. (I'm a sucker for "Wicked,") and I added PearlEx powder to the gold, it still disappeared. What is it about gold?! Silver doesn't do that. Copper doesn't either. It's so awesome that you found Michelle! She's so much like you! ♡
Caterpillars are from not stirring more your silicone drops they stay in an oil line in your paint
i stir it and if i dont stir enough this has happened.....too little stirring can result in huge cells....
hello Super K. When mixin in the silicone, stir top to bottom first, then round n round.
I've started running a skewer through any caterpillars.
I love caterpillars 😆
Toss that paint! That's what I'm talkin' about. ❤ it! And those dopey caterpillars... 🐛 I tried a couple of things. Different PM recipes, different number of drops of silicone in each cup, varying the amount of stirring and speed of stirring, folding the silicone into the paint in the cups, how much you torch, no torching, torch before tilting, torch during and/or after tilting, varying the time to let the cups rest after flipping, not flipping cups and just doing straight pours. Quite frankly, I'm exhausted.
What I found was that the consistent factor that produced caterpillars was the lines of layered paint that landed on the canvas, either by flipping and dragging or a straight pour and dragging the paint out of the cup. I also found that the coconut milk hair serum did not create caterpillars in any of the aforementioned scenarios.
Yep. They were bothering me. Another thing I "tested" side by side, was how I layered the paint in the cups. I layered cups in the zigzag pattern that you use (which I prefer), and then I layered another cup by tilting the cup and pouring the paint down the side of it. Like layering for ring pours. The sliding down the cup seemed to exterminate the caterpillars. And then the pour from up high for a really dirty, filthy pour kept the caterpillars away. Yes. I did this.
I feel a Styx song coming.....

please please please do a larger canvas with the hair dryer. Those paintings were so beautiful!!!
jbkidsco Will do!
I really like it. I see a bottle in the sand.
Mixing the silicone drops really well into the paint will help with caterpillars. 😘
Love listening to you, you always give me a giggle and a wow! Can I just confirm for the prep, you turn it upside down, so wood down, in hot water and let it dry?
Wood up. Fill the area the frame makes.
The first portrait piece, I saw lots of snakes. Maybe that says more about me then the art. Xx
I didn’t like the part you didn’t like...so I love it now that you threw more paint on it 😂👏🏻
The lighter side (first cup) had more caterpillars... do you think its because you forgot the silicone and added a drop on top? The second cup turned out less caterpillars it seem
Had a thought about the caterpillars - you know how you pour the paint in the cups back and forth??? Try pouring it in the cups in a circle. If you get circular caterpillars, it’s the silicone popping in the “stripes” from the cup. Does that make sense???
jcb0818 It’s worth a shot!!!
Love it, your caterpillars come from not stirring your silicone
Enough. They are the silicone
Caterpillars
Yes! It took me forever to realize that!!
Karen, I can’t speak for the others here but I would venture to say that 98% of your fans would never even think about fast forwarding thru any parts of your vids. If you roll for 45 min that’s great. We’re your ride or dies Kar. I, for one am not going anywhere..I’m happy having a cup of coffee with you right there in your kitchen. 😁❤️
OMG have been wwwaaaiiitttiiinnnggggg. Lol hope you had fun without us looking over your shoulder but know you were MISSED. Caterpillars and me happen when I have not I have not stirred the silicone in enough. Love MCE too. Check out Molly. Curse you Masters Touch!!! HAPPY you are back! You are so naturally talented Karen, in so many ways. Thank you.
Okay, finished, wow, was I shocked when you threw the cup of paint lengthwise across the whole canvas, I was expecting you to do it over the top part you didn't like, but to retain the bottom which you did...However, I can still see why you like the final version too, it's great! When it was clearly two separate halves, it reminded me so much of the art-cinema theater I go to in Corvallis (called The Darkside ) and then there is another theater directly across the street where they have concerts...called The Whiteside!!!...so your darkside-whiteside pour was just perfect. It would be fun to see you try some dips after being inspired by McE , I really liked hers and thought they were unique! Kinda like your negative-space pours...
Love it! 45 min went so quickly!
I never get any because we don"t have floetrol in El Salvador but glue and water as pouring medium. Sometimes I use some kind of combination with them plus acrylic wood varnish.
I think the end resolut, was lovely!!😍
I LOVE the caterpillars
love your vids Karen! never fastforward. Great work! #Caterpillarspleasediequietly
Don’t you know caterpillars turn into butterflies!? I don’t mind them if they look like those in the square painting you showed!
Hello sweety !!! I think you could humidified the back where the wood are seeing and put a little heavy thing on a plane surface for drying , it could comme back straight !! I did for a little one and that worked very well !! Lets try and tell me if its ok ! I continue the viewing of your video ! Xx
Tks. Maybe if it happens again-this is an older video.
I LOVE the caterpillars and have been struggling on how to get them. Some look like skeletons when stretched out.
so true, Google listens in on conversations...I was talking about Dr Ho products with a friend and the next time I was online, guess what? Dr Ho ads popping up everywhere...
I still don’t get how it’s possible to torch for that long without getting a skin on top of the paint. I can torch for at most 4 seconds without it happening.
Good choice Karen!!!
Nossa!! Sou Muito Fã Dos Seus Trabalhos, Parabéns Like 👍 Like 👍 Like 👍..
Karen, love the second pour. On the tip about putting hot water on the back of the canvas to tighten it up do you then let it dry completely before using it? Thanks!
You probably should but I’ve been know to cheat! 😳☺️😇
Thanks Karen 🙂
How do yo get so many cells and large one.. I've been watching your videos and still don't get it? Does having metals in the painting cause the problem? I may sometimes use all metallic except for one. And I love using lots of colors... Maybe about 8... Help! I love your pours and jealous of the cells you get!
Hi. Hard for me to diagnose without seeing your work! I offer FaceTime lessons if interested-check out the pinned post on my Waterfall Acrylics Facebook page.
I get the same thing, all I've used was masters touch, I'll have to try michael's.
Karen, on your painting where the canvas bowed in, could you spray the back with water to tighten the canvas?
Love your pieces, really enjoy your videos! What do you use for a final coating? It is so shiny, I am struggling with the varnish and the method!! Help please!!

I’m new to pouring. What are the caterpillars that you talk about? P.S. love your channel!!
Amazing... tiny skiers, puffy snow, huge rocks, lots of motion and really fun! Don't you hate it when some twit writes a story around a pour???
Dawn Vavra Love it!!!
Dawn Vavra I know what you mean because some other little twit saw a sleeping woman’s face (our view left side) and her hair was the universe that took up the whole canvas. Ok, I’ll shut up now...I mean I’ll tell the twit to shut up.
Dawn Vavra I’m sorry. I think I accidentally hit the thumbs down icon because I’m a ditz.
Hi, could you tell me please, what have you put on your painting, that they have such a beautiful glass gloss? Or just mix them varnish with paint, or put varnish after the paint is dry?
Thanks, Sylvia
I now use KS Resin.
@@WaterfallAcrylics Hi Karen, I recently bought resin products but unfortunately they were not suitable...I found epoxy in the UK and see what will come of it. I do experiments on the canvas, but I think I'm choosing the wrong proportions...I'd like to send you a few pictures to show off how I'm doing. I even ordered a Floetrol straight from the USA and Australia to figure out which one is better...because our UK one is not suitable. Thank you for advice. Sylvia
I’ve seen advice to stir silicone into the paint really well, and also to barely stir it in. I’m so confused.
If you stir it really well it break up and leaves you with freckles for cells!
I recently did 6 pours on those master touch gesso boards. I really like some of the pours and they are warped!-like a two humped camel! I’m going to try to put something heavy on them to see if they will straighten out. I bought them thinking it would be a cheaper way to go than buying the Ampersand cradle wood.
I am on the process of putting in a formal complaint about the Master’s Touch gesso board.
sorry for my miss spelled words and coms i dont like going back and forth
awwwha i can hear what the clearly in one. cool.
Lindo seu trabalho! Parabéns, qual verniz vc usa?
Just still learning what are Caterpillars
Actually I love the katerpilers
Do you have to use hot water to tighten your canvas?
Not crazy about this piece.On the other hand many of your other pieces I really love.
Every time you put the torch too close to the paint, you will make a caterpillar.
