Wow! Thanks for sharing the acrylic pouring artwork turned out beautiful 🤩
This came out great! I’m getting into paint pouring and this video was so helpful. Also it might be the water that’s causing the cracking. 🙂
Beautiful colors.Well done.
I am going to try this. I am getting so frustrated not getting the results I want. Thank you so much!!
You are so awesome thank thank thank you... With the beginners video and this video you gave us all the true basics to have fun..... Thank You
Hi there, I have a couple questions,
-Do you need to add water when you mix the paint and pouring medium? or is that optional as well
-It doesn't matter which acrylic brand paint you use, correct?
-Does the order in which you mix the paints and medium matter? I saw a video that used the medium first and then the paints, and when I tried that, it appeared really watery.
I was in Wal Mart dot com, looking for acrylic paint, and I came across this medium I've never heard of. I was curious and decided to check our your video on You Tube. Happy I did because I learned something new, but sad because this is something I can't do right now. Play painting aka Covid Pandemic crafting. Hubby would have a cow with the $$$ I put into a small handcrafted soap business that I can no longer do. 😜
Your painting is lovely.
Brilliant!!!!
Wonderful.. so pretty can I make up the paints a few days before ???
Hi there, referring to your comment of the paint having cracked, I think the reason might be that you have added too much water for this type of paints (liquitex) as well as too much silicone, normally one should add 3 drops and give it a swirl or two with the stick
Thank you for the reply
Yes I did use water but not more than two drops of silicone and a short swirl after having added the silicone
What is the purpose of adding the silicone?
Hi can you please tell me what's the isopropyl thing you added to avoid bubbles
Beautiful what were the colors you used again an your Ratio again. Thanks Terri
Do you HAVE TO use silicone? I don't have any
No, silicone is a personal preference! You can really just use paint and water, or paint, water, and Elmers Glue-all (it has to be glue-all version)
Why distilled water? Can you use normal tap water? I have well water not city water.
So is pouring medium needed in acrylic pouring
hey i dont know if i will get a response but i am a studying artist and i am dabbling in doing pour art and would love some tips
Why did you add water instead of pouring medium
Misleading title, you’d think you just used paint and liquitex
Pretty, but you are using waaaayyyy too much silicone. You really only needed about 2 or three drops in each of your colors.
Hey what is the silicon oil for?
@@sarahlilly5650 the cell effect
How can you avoid the cracks in the paintings?
yumkitkat1 - I don't think that there's any way to completely avoid getting cracks in your paintings. Some brands and/or specific colors from certain brands seem to be more prone to cracking, but that kind of a try and see situation. One thing that you can do to help prevent cracking is to make sure that your painting is drying evenly. Some people place a box or other container over their paintings as they dry so the air around the painting is a consistent temperature and the painting will dry more evenly.
yumkitkat1 try adding some GAC800 to your paints/pouring medium
Do you have to use silicone or can you have a painting without cells?
Hi, Helen! Using silicone in your paintings is completely optional and not necessary if you want to make a painting without cells.
On the Liquitex container it says 95% Liquitex to 5% paint? That can't be right?
Woah!😲 U used a lot of silicone. U only need a drop or 2 per cup.
You should never add more than ten percent water to avoid flocking.
Thank you for making this video without music
Can you please tell me differencies between Pouring and Glazing medium? Thx for replay
your mix is really thin
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING WHAT A POURING MEDIUM IS...I've failed and made a huge mess 3 times on my deck because I didnt understand this part
Great results and, I think, the painting features more "cells" than have previous projects. I love how the pan, etc. are picking up a nice "weathering" as you move further into your work. Each new splattering of paint deepens the patina. Eventually, maybe it will become pouring "artwork" in and of itself.
Thanks, Keith! I like your comment about the pan becoming more "weathered" as I make more paintings. I have peeled up paint a couple of times, and it's pretty cool to see all of the swirls of different colors from different paintings. :)
Thank you for the great demo. Question on making skins . . . do you change your blending portions if you are not making a painting but just pouring for skins?
Thanks to guide
Is it necessary pouring medium we hv to use
If we use only water
Just want to know why we add glue in water
Pretty colors but I also think you used way to much water and silicone. Liquitex pouring medium says right on the bottle not to dilute with more than 25% water to medium. At least the one I bought today does. I've also never seen someone dump silicone either. Normally 2-4 drops will work just fine depending on how much paint+medium you've got.
Has anyone ever used blending gel in a pour to try to make cells??
Won’t the water break the pAint?
Hey! Your videos have really helped me a lot, thank you for that! I was just wondering if you seal/varnish your paintings afterwards? I find that after my canvas dries, a lot of the colours become dull and I would love for it to be vibrant and glossy :)
Charlotte Cole - I'm glad the the videos have been helpful for you! I haven't yet sealed any of my paintings but am looking into it as I'm making more that I like enough that I want to keep them around for a while.
If you used silicone oil or something like this to create cells, you'll need to first completely clean it off of the painting. The most popular sealant seems to be Minwax Polycrylic. Coating the finished painting with clear resin is another option, and this will give you a super glossy finish.
@@kdotbecca Thank you so much! I shall look into it more!
i know Im pretty off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online?
Beautiful colors.Well done.
On the pouring medium do you have water or no water?
Do you actually need the oil ?
Thank you for explaining the ratio of pouring medium to paint - it's exactly what I was looking for!
This is beautiful but I’ve read many artists say to never use water. It will cause cracking.
This came out very pretty thanks for sharing
Thank you, Glennis!
Perfect timing! Thank you.
Beautiful colors.Well done.
I don't have Flotrol either
Nice how to video.
Love this
What does the silicon oil do?
Cells
Where do I get the liquid silicone An do I have to use it?
How much silicone do I need
No you don’t have to use it, silicone is a personal preference! Although you can find it online or I got mine at a Marks Warehouse (workwear store - they use it for repelling water on shoes)! For pouring, I’ve had success using only paint and water, or a mix of paint, water, and Elmers Glue-all! (it has to be glue-all version)
What do you do with the cracking?
DebraFlower Floral Design - From what I've read, it's difficult to completely avoid cracking / crazing. Some brands of paint seem to crack more than others, so you may want to experiment with the brands of paint that you use. Some mediums are supposed to be formulated to help minimize cracking, but from my experience none of them completely eliminate it.
Working in a dry environment should allow paintings dry more evenly, which can also help. You can even cover your painting with a big box while it's drying so the air around it is more uniform.
Beautiful colors.Well done.
thank you so much
