Effects with Golden High Flow & Blow Dryer - 5
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In this video I use Golden high flow in black, white and hansa yellow mixed with Liquitex pouring medium and GAC800. I pour the acrylic paint on a 12"x12" canvas and use a hair blow dryer on low to push around the paint.
Remember every blow dryer is different! ;)
Hope you enjoy!

i love golden high flow etc but i could not make out how much gac800 you used and how much of the
pouring medium. the one bottle was turned and could not see the name. please help
mollie hoffart I don't measure I eyeball it. That's why I film it so you can see about how much I use. Not sure what bottle you're talking about. There is the paint, Liquitex pouring medium and GAC800
Just ordered my Golden High Flow paints. Cannot wait to get started! I can only hope my experiments turn out as awesome as yours. Loved watching this- so inspiring!
You have to love an artist's work when the artist is in love with her own work 💙💚💛💜💖❤️ I love your work, love this series, have them in their own playlist. 🎨🎨🎨

mollie hoffart Nickel Azo Gold
Love ❤️
So beautiful your work! Which yellow and black you are using?
Love this! I am ordering some Golden High Flow asap. Can you tell me, what brand of resin did you use to seal it? Did you use a torch for bubbles? Thanks.
For this one I used Envirotex Light but I would suggest a better quality resin although I managed to get a perfect coating on this one. And yes, you need a torch for the bubbles.
Dear Mel, your art is breathtaking! this was such an inspiration to me, that i immediately bought the high flows and the gac800 to try it by myself. Thank you for that! It was so much fun. But how are the cells created? It dont worked in my attempt...
What!! No silicone!! Lol. Beautiful work!
Hahaha! Ofcourse not :) and thank you!
Hey MelyD! I have watched this probably a dozen times, sooooo beautiful!!!! I used your exact recipe, although I'm not able to get any of the "lacing/cells" showing up. It looks great, but was hoping for some of that puffiness with the lacing. I'm using a low setting too to make sure it doesn't get overworked.. thoughts? The only thing I can think of is that it's too thick, maybe a splash of water or more high flow to thin out the liquitex? Just thinking out loud at this point, ha!
I won’t ask if you used silicone lol, but I will ask why using it is a negative thing? Brand new to the acrylic pouring and binge watching lol.
Nalani Hamby good question and I'm sure others have different opinions but this is how I see it.
The only truly negative thing about adding silicone to your paint is that I don't think anybody knows if your painting will withstand in time. The rest is by preference.
If you're going to sell your peice, do you mind not knowing what it will look like in 20 years from now? Do you mind adding that extra chemical to your paint that isn't an artist product? (Although its become so popular DeSerre has starting selling their version). Do you mind all the clean-up that comes with it? And if not done properly will result in a failed varnish or resin coating?
Just depends on what you prefer.
MelyD.artist oh okay! All very valid reasons not to bother with it. Thank you!
Why did you use the 800? Did it creat the cells? I’m following you like crazy!!!!
How long did you let the paints cure before using the resin? Thank you for such beautiful pours.
Hi dear .. I see that you used GAC 800 and liquitex pouring together what is the purpose for mixing them together? And for myexperience I used GAC 100 but didn't came out well
I just love this effect. Can you tell me why you use GAC?
Thank you! Because it reduces crazing since there is a lot of pouring medium used and I like the mix
Mely, this is gorgeous! I tried your recipe, and the paint, both times, became pretty congealed right away when I started to blow it with the dryer! Do you think this is because it's still too thick? I blew it with the dryer, and at first it's okay but then after a couple seconds of blowing it just seemed to start to harden up! I even tried to make sure the blow dryer was on the cool setting 😞 I've never had the paint do that before?!
Lynette Frohning that is because of the amount of pouring medium and yes it's normal. You gotta work fast and try not to have to blow on it again with the blow dryer. Try adding a little more paint into your mix, it will help with this :)
MelyD.artist thanks! 👍 I thought it was something I was doing. I may experiment to see what I could add to make the working time a little bit longer! I'll let you know how it goes! 🙏
Hi Lynette :)). I just tried this and the same thing happen to me. The yellow part got really gooey. The more I used the blow dryer, the faster the yellow paint got worst. Have you tried it again?
@@norma9548 I tried it again and it did the same thing! I haven't tried to change anything yet. The one thing I do want to change though is the strength of my blow dryer! I want to get one that is over 2000 instead of 1800 like the one I have! I think that has a lot to do with it as well because the strength of the air would have to be powerful enough to get it to move in the first few seconds! LOL
I just got a reply from Mely and she said that if I used more paint that I would have more time to play with it. I will certainly try that eventually and let you know :))).
Love it and love the last three all finished. How long do you wait to resin?
Thank you and a few days
Bonjour Mely,.J aime beaucoup ce que vous faites,et je sais que vous parlez très bien le Français.Nous ici,en France aucune " pro " ne donne des infos sur ce gendre de peinture .De plus beaucoup de mal à trouver floetrol, silicone ,mesdium lissage( hormis liquidex.... ) mais c est le seul . et cher....j essaie avec des " produits " de toutes sortes que l on a chez soi ..C'est la galère... Bref .Merci pour vos prouesses😏 .Vos tableaux sont tous aussi beaux les uns que les autres .👏 .Sylvie
Salut Sylvie, je comprend que ca doit pas être évident quand personne veut partager. C'était comme ca pour moi au début quand j'ai commencé. C'est alors pourquoi je me suis acharné à apprendre pas moi-même et montré ce que je fais au autres. En ce qui concerne le silicone et floetrol, se ne sont pas des produits que j'utilise mais je suis pas mal sur que du silicone c'est facile à trouver. Il a un groupe sur Facebook de France qui s'apelle PASSION Art Fluide. Il a surment des gens qui peuvent t'aider dans ce groupe. Merci beaucoup et bonne chance!
How do you stop the paint pulling away from the edges of a large canvas?
I wonder, your hair blow dryer - how many watt do you have on it, 1600 or 1800 watt? could you make a painting with just two colors? thanks!!!
How long do you wait to resin and how long do u wait to varnish your paintings?
This is absolutely amazing. Love the color combination and those cell, yes those cells :))). Do you prime your canvas?
Thank you so much :) no I don't prime the canvas
Hey, love it, what did you paint the sides with?
Do you have your hair blow dryer on heat or it's on cold air?
Hi, MelyD. I had trouble with the volume on this one....even turned all the way up, I struggled to hear you. (My hearing is not great anyway, and I don't want to miss any of your great info!!)
Patricia J Winn hmm it seems fine. Did you turn up both YT & your computer? ;)
Hi Mely. I tried this, but I tried it with the Golden Acrylic tubes (it's what I have) but I do have the yellow high flow. So everything went well until I used the blow dryer on the yellow and it turned gooey fast lol. Not sure what went wrong. Could it have been the blow dryer was to high? Watcha think?
If you used the same mix I did (or close) then yes it hardens really fast. You don't have much play around time. Its the pouring medium that does that. If you use more paint you'll have more playing time. Does this make sense to you? It's not the blow dryer I don't think. Also, if you used high flow only for the yellow, maybe its the mix of both paints? Haven't tried rhe tube ones...
Thanks soooo much Mely. You are so sweet.
Massive movement! Very cool! Do you use silicone! LOL, just kidding! Great painting!
Hahaha thanks Biff!!
Paintings? More like mix, pour and blow. They're really awesome though.
What is your ratio of paint to Liguidtex PM. How much or how many ounces of each color did you use to cover the canvas?
marcia groth hmm not sure I don't measure
Beautifully done I gather you used alcohol on this one 😊😊
Thank you! And no I didn't :) I mention everything I use at the beginning of every video :)
Did you add silicone? 😂😂😂😂😂
Sooooooo JK!!!!!
lamarcheelaine 😂😂😂
She said no silicone.
I LOVE this painting. Am impressed by you seemingly adding only a relatively (very) small amount of GAC 800. Is that sufficient to eliminate cracking/crazing? This is the one thing which bugs me enormously and I just confined a lovely, dried painting to the trash can yesterday out of frustration because the thicker paint areas had cracked open.
Also, you appear in the video to add the Golden High Flow only to the large cup containing white paint and not the black or yellow paint cups... Does that mean the white paint will act more like ink consistency whilst the black and yellow will behave like regular acrylic?
It's not clear from Golden's website whether this new High Flow acrylic paint is used as a standalone paint or whether it is an additive to normal acrylic paints. It seems to be packaged in small bottles, thereby suggesting it is an additive... But then again it is produced in an increased range of colours, this in turn suggests it is a standalone product...
Peter Hoare Golden High Flow is an extremely fluid brand of acrylic paint. I used white, black and yellow here and each color was added into each cup which had pouring medium in it first.
I know cracking is very discouraging but it only happened to me when I started out and wasn't preparing my paints properly. It has not happened to me for a very long time unless the temperature is VERY dry. Like this winter for example was horrible. Maybe try making your paint less thick and not having too much of it on the canvas.
MelyD.artist Thanks for the response. You didn't address my question about GAC 800 😀... I am finding that the consistency ie viscosity of the paint is crucial in minimising cracking. And I have now devised a very simple, instant, no tools required method for checking the viscosity of all the paints as I mix them, this ensures all the colours are of the same viscosity, and this method is hugely effective, resulting in minimal, if any at all, cracking and crazing. Putting the paintings in thin plastic sheet covered enclosures slows the drying process very effectively. Thank you!
what brand of hair blow dryer did you use? love your paintings!
Betty Clancy haha oh gosh I don't know. I bought it at the pharmacy for 30$ a while ago. It does blow very strongly compared to others if that can help :)
Beautiful! I'm going to try the hair dryer. The white looks like cumulus clouds!
That was crazy good!
Mely, when you resin your paintings is there a board behind in the center or is it just a canvas. I would like to resin some of mine but scared it may be to heavy in the center and may sag. What do you think . Your amazing girl, could watch you all day but my husband thinks I'm on to long . Thanks
Marlaine Gillis depending on the size of your canvas and the brand of resin you use you will probably have to do 2 coats for a perfect finish because the weight of the resin wipl bring it to the center. It will not look like it's sagging at all. Thank you so much :) x
I've just recently started pouring paint and have seen a ton of videos... and I think I've learned the most from watching yours!
You are very generous with all the info you share with us, all the experiments you do are so helpful, especially to a newbie!
Can't wait to see more!
Ruthie H awww thank you so much!!! Lotsa love to ya!
What color did you use in the two dried ones you showed with the yellow one?
Sandra McKeehan Nickel Azo Gold
Thank you!!!
Just absolutely fabulous!
Beautiful results of the pour.
These are gorgeous. As usual. What color is in the other two paintings you showed at the end. Love it.
The yellow might be acting differently (no cells) because it looks like, on the bottle, it is a transparent color. Have you noticed something like that with transparent and opaque paints?
PaleFirehorse yes you're right it is a transparent color and I have noticed a difference for the first time with these paints.
I love your work!! Very inspirational!!
Amazing, WOW and stunning! Thank you for sharing
5:12 it looks like a Face with one eye.
Greetings from Germany
Mely D,,,now try it using airbrush medium, it's quite a unique look the way it dries. Also both mediums work great on Yupo paper.. :) You have some beautiful work. I'm addicted to the high flows.
Very nice - I have told my “dirty pour friends” that it does make a difference when you use better quality paints.
Fantastic work once again. 😉---Dave...
So incredible! Thank you for sharing. I've been working on all of your techniques. Curious: what yellow color? Hansa?
Sue Till thanks! And yes Hansa Yellow :)
Awesome
Mely, would you say that your paint consistancy is a little thinner than those that do the flip cup pours? When I watch your videos the paint seems to run a little faster. I tried to do one like yours and it turned out pretty but didnt look like yours at all. I think my paint was thicker than yours.
Cindi Jennings I think it is yes. It takes practice!
Wow! That was super cool! I see faces inside the cells...pretty wild!
Very nice. Love the depth.
Fabulous!
Awesome. Did you use a hair dryer as a blower?
Kathie Erhardt yes
LOVE THESE!! Now try doing a simple resin pour the same way! I challenge u :P
sheryl siegel thank! resin is completely different than just acrylic. You can't approach them the same way.
MelyD.artist I kno ALL 2 well!
U can see numerous “faces”’and it looks like an egg explosion as well as QUITE A LARGE AMOUNT of depth! Ru using both GAC and PM?
GAC was the PM.
You should get sponsors. Especially Golden now. There's a great many of your followers that are buying Golden because you've been teaching so many of us about it.
lamarcheelaine hmmm I've never asked for money or sponsors.. but that would be awesome I have to admit!
Yellow my favorite color!! The winner!! Lol
This is awesome. Great job young lady.
Tashiann Morant thank you!!
