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?
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for making this video without music
Wow! Thanks for sharing the acrylic pouring artwork turned out beautiful 🤩
Thank you for explaining the ratio of pouring medium to paint - it's exactly what I was looking for!
Beautiful colors.Well done.
Perfect timing! Thank you.
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

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. 🙂
I am going to try this. I am getting so frustrated not getting the results I want. Thank you so much!!
Wonderful.. so pretty can I make up the paints a few days before ???

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?
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
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
Can you please tell me differencies between Pouring and Glazing medium? Thx for replay
This came out very pretty thanks for sharing
Thank you, Glennis!
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)
Love this
Has anyone ever used blending gel in a pour to try to make cells??
Won’t the water break the pAint?
Why distilled water? Can you use normal tap water? I have well water not city water.
On the pouring medium do you have water or no water?
Do you actually need the oil ?
So is pouring medium needed in acrylic pouring

@@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?
This is beautiful but I’ve read many artists say to never use water. It will cause cracking.
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
Where do I get the liquid silicone An do I have to use it?
How much silicone do I need

How can you avoid the cracks in the paintings?

yumkitkat1 try adding some GAC800 to your paints/pouring medium
Why did you add water instead of pouring medium
Misleading title, you’d think you just used paint and liquitex
Woah!😲 U used a lot of silicone. U only need a drop or 2 per cup.
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.
I don't have Flotrol either
What do you do with the cracking?

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

your mix is really thin
You should never add more than ten percent water to avoid flocking.
On the Liquitex container it says 95% Liquitex to 5% paint? That can't be right?
thank you so much
Beautiful colors.Well done.
What does the silicon oil do?
Cells
Beautiful colors.Well done.
