  • Liquitex High Gloss VARNISH against Gloss Pouring MEDIUM
    I love to experiment and since I use these two products often but for different reasons, I wanted to see if Liquitex High Gloss VARNISH will still dry super shiny as a MEDIUM. For this experiment I used the ring pour technique on two canvases and compared the sheen when they dried, but I must say that I was a bit surprised by the results. Thank you for watching.

    I used liquid explosives gloss for the first time this weekend. First real success I have had and dried like glass. Thanks for the tips. It can get quite expensive when trying to learn. I put a bit of floetrol in my black for inbtween colors on a puddle pour. Black base with liquitex gloss. Can’t’ wait to do another. Beautiful cells.

    • @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns

      It is expensive but also a top notch product. I'm glad it worked out for you. Thank you for watching 🖌 🙂

    I have used the varnish method as you just did with the dame water droplet effect. I also had small clumps of paint of different colours making match head size lumps that irks me a little. Anyhoo, an experiment now and then is fine but some ingredients here in the UK are horrifically more pricey. I pay over $25 for 118mls of the pouring medium. Don't talk to me about Floetral; it's like putting a downpayment on a car lol

      LOL😆 I know products are getting so pricey! Thank you for commenting about the water droplets, they're very cool.🖌☺

    Shannon I believe the liquitex gloss medium and varnish is now the liquitex gloss medium I could be wrong That's what Mina Vallegis uses

    • @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns
      @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns  2 роки тому

      There's a gloss medium & varnish but not a "high" gloss medium & varnish. I just wanted to experiment with this varnish to see how glossy the end result would be. Sorry if my explanation in the video was confusing. Thank you for watching!🖌☺💕

    Do you varnish your pours? If so, what application do you use?🖌

  • @tanyapatterson3626

    Thanks for the video! Quick question...I notice some white specks in the paintings. I have had this as well and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. They def get worse when I torch the air bubbles. Any idea what causes that? Thanks so much!!

    • @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns
      @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns  Рік тому

      Hi, there's a few reasons this can happen but it's hard to say unless we used the same paints. The specs as you mention are air bubbles that are not released and then when you torch they become more present. In this piece, the white looks more clear, almost like a tear/rain drop effect. Also, the type of paint/brand and pouring medium you use may also be a factor. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching. 🖌️🙂

    You are saying liquitex gloss pouring medium is what you usually use and it is shinier than the one with the varnish?

  • @mariantwohig5156
    @mariantwohig5156 2 роки тому

    So, you use the Liquitex in your paint and then varnish with it?

    • @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns
      @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns  2 роки тому

      No, I was experimenting with the varnish a medium & varnish, but also to see how the finished product looked vs pouring it. All details are in the video. Thank you for watching!🖌☺

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't varnish on an acrylic painting equivalent to the layer of glass you'd use to protect a watercolour? In other words just like glass you can remove and replace it if necessary. Suppose you have an accident in your studio, paint goes flying everywhere and spatters across a painting you varnished last week. If you can't get the paint off, you'd remove the varnish. A glossy pouring medium may look like varnish but if you can't remove it in an emergency then surely it's not much use? I'm only a newbie but I'm learning to paint portraits which can of course sometimes have sentimental value so I'm trying to learn how to best protect them. The advice I've found online is massively contradictory. I feel very confused.

    • @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns
      @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns  7 місяців тому

      Varnish is a sealer to protect your art and to give it a specific finish, such as matte iron gloss. This video was focused on using it as a medium rather than a varnish. However, if you have an accident, as you mentioned, you can paint over it. Thsnks. I hope this helps. 🙂

    Always varnish with liquitex after. How many layers would you use?

    • @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns
      @ShannonGibsonArtDesigns  2 роки тому +1

      I use 2-3 coats and that gives it a very glossy finish. 🖌☺
