I think this has been one of our best challenges yet. Now that I've watched all the videos, it really does show all the problems you might run into while pouring on a 3d object, we all had different challenges and yet all made it work in the end. I love how using the clear bowl gave you such a beautiful effect inside too.
Beautiful, mesmerizing to watch you create your masterpieces. I'm a newbie at this use of acrylic paints and mediums, your videos inspire me to take my stash and give it a try! I have stacks of clear glass, need to see if it can be done. Thank you for your excellent video's Kim. Looking forward to following you!
Ahhh you had the same problem as Sherry had with her pumpkin lol - all the paint running down the grooves. It's a gorgeous finished piece Kim, even kitty cat seemed to agree! :-)
Okay I think it looks awesome at 8:04 with some of the clear still showing through on the ridges... looks like the paint is trying to eat the bowl! I might have to try this myself!!!
Perhaps start the pour on the widest part of the bowl, then another pour from the base to connect to the first pour and then the last pour on the center using much less paint?
The consistency of the paint matters - it needs to be a bit thicker than usual for pouring. Also, you could try giving the bowl a light sand before pouring.
Nope - worked just fine. I put did protect it with a couple of coats of varnish, though. I have been using it in my kitchen as a fruit bowl, with no problems whatsoever.
It worked out well in the end. I was thinking before you painted the ridges, you could have up turned it, bottom at the top, fix to a Base and put a small light in it. It could also be used as a plant pot stand and with the light would look real cool..... perhaps another go. ........ ☺ just an idea....
Hey Kim, I was inspired by your pour and I thought that I'd would have painted the whole outside black afterward it was obviously not working well and decide on highlighting the inside. Then I'd pour some gold paint about 2" deep on a cookie sheet and dip the edge of the upside down bowl in it so it would coat evenly. I'd sit it up on a box or sturdy glass on the inside of the bowl so the gold wouldn't drip down the sides. Then a good couple of coats of the thick high gloss with a few days of drying in between. I'd then turn the bowl rightside up sit it in the gold paint on the tray then sit it very carefully on the glass & some wax paper to dry. Then decorate the outside black painted part with about 2" of gold and turquoise glued on interesting stuff. And STOP! 😁 Whaddya think about this? I'd just focus on displaying the truly awesome inside. And leave it at that. Awesome table piece by itself like that, don't you think? Hey Kim, with MORE paint you could've done a cool tray of some sort that would make a great by the front door set for keys and mail. Sounds like I should probably do my own damn project huh and keep my opinions to myself?😅🤣😂😅
Yes, it's cool, a very nice fruit bowl. #1-An obvious comment--You might not have had the problem (that of not covering the "high" points of the bowl if you had used a smooth bowl. #2-I wonder what would have happened if you had poured a portion of one color at a time on the sides of the existing bowl until you had covered all of the sides. All of the colors would have been seen but that probably would have defeated the "dirty pour" combination. Happy pouring!
Since the paint perfers to run over itself, rather than the unpainted plastic surface, it pays to paint in the channels of the bowl first (any colour) and while still wet, pour the paint mix. Then the paint will run better into and over the channels and completely cover the outside.
Thank you for the video I love how it turned out I don't know if it would work but perhaps you could take the color you like the most and put a coat of that color on the entire Bowl then do the poor that way all parts would be colored and your favorite color would be the background or standout color like I said don't know if it would work but could be worth a try
I had lots of luck making paint poured skulls which got me to thinking of trying the technique on bowls, glasses, platters... you get the point. My question is would this be possible? Is there a finish I could put on these items to keep them pretty but would also give people the ability to use these as actual food surfaces? Or a drinkable mug?
I have an antique crock bowl I want to do. It my head it doesn't cover the entire thing. I think I'll paint it a earthy yellow color and then use similar colors to yours.
Not an easy question to answer here - every additive has a different effect, depending on what type of paint I use. For example, the metallic turquoise - I used pouring medium because it dries glossy. If I had used Floetrol, it would have dulled the final result because the Floetrol dries with a matte finish.
Great pour! I found some anxiety for you in watching your video with that cell phone teetering precariously on the edge of your bench, and with you wearing that nice unblemished watch. You're a very brave soul. Me, I'd get paint all over the watch, the phone, me, and then try to pry that phone up off the floor doused in acrylics. Enjoy your videos.
This isn't the best pour. I can't help but think you cheated at the end, turning the pour into something resembling a traditional painting, albeit on a bowl. Twas a challenge indeed.

Working on the outside of a clear object was a neat idea.
I’ve never thought of doing a bowl! And plastic? Cool! I kept thinking... get your hands in it, lol just beautiful!

Thank you so much for your kind words!
Wow that turned out so nice in the end and obviously your kitty thought so too! 🐈😁👍
All shined up... looks fantabulous! Beautiful!!!
Awesome job ,Kim.........difficult pour indeed, but it turn out beautimous.......Thank you for sharing! Loved your cat came to visit :) made me smile!
Thank you, Holly-Anne!
Ahhh you had the same problem as Sherry had with her pumpkin lol - all the paint running down the grooves. It's a gorgeous finished piece Kim, even kitty cat seemed to agree! :-)
I love that a lot artists have cats!!
When you dropped the colors with pipette it created such a nice pattern. I love the final result.
Thank you!
Also maybe painting on a wet thick layer of paint first over all of it with a brush and then pouring would help guide the paint through the ridges?
Good idea! Why didn't I think of that?
Nichelle Bell , wouldn’t the solid show through to the inside instead of the beautiful pour colors?
Turned out great...I did one too, but gave it away so don't have a photo!!!
Love your cat!!!!
Thank you so much!
Okay I think it looks awesome at 8:04 with some of the clear still showing through on the ridges... looks like the paint is trying to eat the bowl! I might have to try this myself!!!
Thank you! I didn't care for it, but I can see how some people would like it!
Perhaps start the pour on the widest part of the bowl, then another pour from the base to connect to the first pour and then the last pour on the center using much less paint?
Great. I would likes more orange on the outside.
I love this! What a beautiful fruit bowl. Another thing to add to the 'must try' list. Great cat cameo too😻
OMG!! I just tried this and the pain just slid straight off😆😆😆 Any tips on making it stick?
The consistency of the paint matters - it needs to be a bit thicker than usual for pouring. Also, you could try giving the bowl a light sand before pouring.
Beautiful !!..I love rhe colors !! great job !...
Thank you, Ada!
Hello. I didn't have much hope at first but turned out beautiful. I'm sure it was a big Challenge and frustrating at first for you !! Keep creating!
The end result is fabulous got a little nervous in the beginning but WOW looks great.
This is really cool! Glad to find your channel. I love getting inspiration from fellow youtubers! Thanks for posting!
When the clear ridges were showing and you flipped the bowl I immediately thought "Great lampshade!"
LOL!
Lovely, I have watched all the challenges that I could find... I will give this one a go too :) That's a beautiful bowl
Thank you, Tracey! If you try it, I would love to see it!
I love the way this turned out Kim
Thank you, Sherry!
I love your color choices and it looks amazing with that gloss!
Thank you, Jenny!
You could use a medicine dropper to drip paint into the grooves or a turkey baster. Just and idea that came to me.
Good idea!
Shouldn’t you ‘treat’ the plastic before putting acrylic paint on it? Won’t it scratch off?
Nope - worked just fine. I put did protect it with a couple of coats of varnish, though. I have been using it in my kitchen as a fruit bowl, with no problems whatsoever.

beautiful piece Kim ♥ loved the kitty cat :)
Thank you, Heidi!
Turned out amazing!👏👏👏
Mucho trabajoo. Hasta que llegó el maravilloso finalllll.las cajitas son espectaculaaares...
Wow, Kim, your bowl turned out great
Thanks, Laura!
That turned out gorgeous!
Thank you!

I know I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released movies online ?
@Kieran Tripp flixportal :D
@Bowen Darius Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !
@Kieran Tripp No problem =)

Perhaps, if you paint all of the ridges with a brush first, in the main cobalt blue you wouldn't have to use so much paint?
If only I had thought of that!
It looks really cool.
Boy you had to work hard on this. Love it
Yes, I did! Thank you for noticing.
Since the paint perfers to run over itself, rather than the unpainted plastic surface, it pays to paint in the channels of the bowl first (any colour) and while still wet, pour the paint mix. Then the paint will run better into and over the channels and completely cover the outside.

Fran Simontacchi Oh good idea ~ putting your favorite color all over first would make the inside of the bowl a solid color you like
Itlooked good as is!
Before I poured on it? ;)
Kim Beinschroth 😂🤣😂 You nut. It was a nerve wracking but beautiful pour.
I had lots of luck making paint poured skulls which got me to thinking of trying the technique on bowls, glasses, platters... you get the point. My question is would this be possible? Is there a finish I could put on these items to keep them pretty but would also give people the ability to use these as actual food surfaces? Or a drinkable mug?
i like the clors it.s a nice bowl
Great job! Love it.
Thank you, Cathy!
Just lovely!
I have an antique crock bowl I want to do. It my head it doesn't cover the entire thing. I think I'll paint it a earthy yellow color and then use similar colors to yours.
Go for it! I would love to see your results!
Kim so beautiful. ❤❤❤❤
I think I might have tried rotating the bowl on it's side while pouring and let the paint run around the bowl.
Love the inside of the bowl.
Loved the end result and that cat .... has good taste :))))) Well done thank you for showing.
Thank you, Elly!
I think if you use a bowl without ridges, it would work!
Yes, it would!
this is beautiful. i'm wondering...did you prep the bowl before the pour?
No, I did not.
Really nice, you could make a load of these and sell them at craft markets.:)
Good idea!
It really turned out beautifully
Thank you!
very beautiful ...great job thanks for sharing
You are welcome, and thank you!
A lazy Susan would have made the job easier. I got a huge one at goodwill for 2 bucks.
have to say thought you lost it but you turned around, you did so well
Thank you, Shirley!
that's ok you did an amazing job thank you for sharing you have given me hope to vbe a good pourer one day lol
that's really pretty
So pretty, but no offense I love the cat best!!
Me too! ;)
well, you might have had some difficulties but it turned out stunning.
The bottom was my favorite part. I really wanted you to lift if off and flip it over so it could be seen from the inside.
I think you should try metalic paint! 😀 just a thought!
I love the colors
Thank you Catrena!
Did you, or would you recommend a surface prep? Thanks
I just cleaned the bowl with rubbing alcohol.
What did you do to prep the surface of the plastic bowl so that your paint would permanately adhere?
Nothing. ;)
Would make a beautiful lamp shade...
Beautiful , did you treat the plastic with something before pouring ?
Beautiful! How long did you wait before purring on the varnish?
A couple of days.
***Very pretty***
Results are fantastic. I think there's a better way to combine descriptions, and doing on most videos. It must be diffuclt ...
Can I ask the thoughts behind why you mixed each paint with different mediums?
Not an easy question to answer here - every additive has a different effect, depending on what type of paint I use. For example, the metallic turquoise - I used pouring medium because it dries glossy. If I had used Floetrol, it would have dulled the final result because the Floetrol dries with a matte finish.
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you!
Love the bowl. Is the bowl be washable?
I wondered the same thing
I didn't paint the inside. I just wipe down the outside with a damp cloth.
Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome!
I wish you had painted that rim in black at bottom
I did think of that, Todd! I may still do that. Thank you.
Disculpa la pregunta, el cuenco es de cristal o de plástico? Daría igual de qué Fuer el material?
tres bonne idée.
Do you made on glass?
I like to see the uncovered parts
I am not sure what you mean?
Kim Beinschroth leave those uncovered parts clear
Oh, okay!
Should not use a bowl with scallop sides with this pour it should be flat sided. The pour should be tilted
Really? Do you have a video to show us how you did it?
Great pour! I found some anxiety for you in watching your video with that cell phone teetering precariously on the edge of your bench, and with you wearing that nice unblemished watch. You're a very brave soul. Me, I'd get paint all over the watch, the phone, me, and then try to pry that phone up off the floor doused in acrylics. Enjoy your videos.
LOL, and thank you!
How do I enter
Just post your video with the hashtag #AugustPouringChallenge
Very confusing. You didn’t explain what you did. So sorry. I was confused. Not good and I would not try it myself because I don’t know what you did
Yuk
Is insane that you film even when nothing happens....
Yep. That's me...insane pouring lady.
This isn't the best pour. I can't help but think you cheated at the end, turning the pour into something resembling a traditional painting, albeit on a bowl. Twas a challenge indeed.
Hhhmm...okay - not sure what you mean, by cheating - but your opinion is appreciated.
