    What a great pour! I love how the colours turned out and not too over the top with cell action. I love the fact you don't torch and still get great cells and your canvases turn out beautifully awesome! Keep up the good work. I am definitely going to try with just one colour and add in a touch of this and that and see how it works. Great idea and no real colour wastage. Thanks for sharing with us xx

      Anita Blake my pleasure and thank you for writing in! :) I'm glad you noticed these things. I do agree on the cells, my paintings have way too many in general even if I don't use silicone and torch it. This comment has just given me an idea :) x

    Hi MelyD. This was a clever thing to do with this piece of work. It wasn't too bad to start with but it definitely needed something. The black really gave it definition and a 3D look. As you mentioned the colours popped. The white which was a bit lost in the beginning became much whiter against the strong black. It really broke up the painting and made up for the lack of negative space. It was fun to watch. I bet it was fun to do all that colouring in. Doing that is known to provide great relaxation for the brain, and helps relieve stress. There is a whole science behind it at Adult Colouring in books are all the rage. But WOW you don't need a book to colour, you just grab hold of a art piece that needs a revamp and voila. You have a lot of strings to your bow, which makes you interesting and a must to watch. And about your camera in the sink. That's a hoot! 😂

    Thanks so much for the reply. I viewed the pink pour you created and think it such a wise Artist who knows when to stop. Good on you for seeing the simplicity of the results. I was telling you as I watched...Noooo, don't do a thing...no...no....and I clapped when you decided to stop. Drama in your video...cute...love it. Keep on doing what you do...Thanks again.

    I'm absolutely with you on simple being best -- I like the cells, but just when they form naturally. I find myself talking to the screen, saying, "no, don't torch it -- it looks beautiful, it's fine-- oh, see now you've messed it up." Sigh. I like having just a few cells. And I really love how your monochrome piece turned out.

    I followed these instructions exactly but I used ice clue as my base instead& I painted the sides the silver blue instead of just the base blue because it’s a dark shade, the light completely disappeared! Lol! I actually added some blue black & white at the end & hit it with a blow dryer because it is so dark! Funny how each color has its own personality! Here’s pix of the original outcome & then the additions - well I can’t find the add photo option, if I find it I’ll add the pictures! Thanks for all your videos!

    • @MelyDartist
      @MelyDartist  6 років тому +1

      Thats normal!! Darker colors take over. White is the most dense and will seep to the bottom. Black the least dense and will rise to the top. You really have to experiment :) you can't add images here but you can send them to me in Facebook messages. Glad you're enjoying yourself!

    In some other artists' videos you can see that their work will need to be retouched once the painting has cured and before varnishing, which adds days to the production process, especially when the composition is in dark colours. It's worth the little bit of time spent on preparation. If you have acrylic spray cans in your collection of paints they can get the edges done quickly, and they dry in no time.

    I did a pour with blue, white, & silver from a spray paint can that I sprayed into a cup and it turned out gorgeous. The silver has some texture to it and kinda lays on top of the other colors. It's my favorite by far. I plan on pouring Art Resin on it tomorrow. Would love to show you. May I send a photo to you? You are such an amazing artist. Take care! ♡

      Did you know you could also spray the spray paint on your wet paint after having moved it around? I haven't done it in so long! Think I'm gonna get me some soon ;)

    1. when you say "I scrubbed the old painting, do you mean you did it while it was still wet? How do you use old cured canvases ? Gesso ? 2. Here you painted the sides with acrylic paint but not the middle part (for a reason). What do you think about using white (or whatever other colour) acrylic paint as the primer instead of gesso ? We use gesso because it covers well and it sticks well and paints stick well to it but ... if you needed to prime an old canvas would you use acrylic paint as the primer ? And I mean : paint, let it dry. Please carry on on your vids - your work is amazing and you are a very talented artist but you are also an awesome tutor and this is a rare treat

    Also, do you use the left over poured paint again?? For another poured piece...do you drag sticks, or even odd shaped objects through the poured paint???

I would love to be able to do it my self just as a hobby. I feel i am missing a lot of terms, and what makes each paint act the way they act and what the other mixes you are using with the paint

    I really want to try out your technique.
    Global paint is quite thick ( that’s why they use so much floetrol as a PM. So if I have a thick kind of paint how much water is to much? How runny the paint should be ?

    Hi! I am so glad I bumped into your channel. It was all so complicated before, and with you it is so simple? Thank you for your presentations. My question - how long does it tale to completely dry up, and if you do apply any sealer before hanging it on the wall. I do some abstract paintings, but I want to try this as well, to add to my collection. Start Sept. 1, my local library will have me as an artist of the month with my abstracts, and I really would like to add couple of pouring paintings, so I still have time to practice! But I am not sure if I have to apply the top coat, or sealer or anything else before hanging. Thank you in advance.

    • @MelyDartist
      @MelyDartist  7 років тому +2

      Hey Lifebee, drying time depends on size, quantity of paint poured and temperature. I say it ranges between 12-36h.
      Yes I suggest adding a varnish to your painting a few days after it has dried.
      Hope this helps!

I went to Michaels to grab something, but realized what I had in mind was more expensive then I was guessing. So I didn't grab any just yet because I thought I'd look into it. I've actually never finished a painting with a top coat ever!!! So I'm making it into a daunting task I suppose 🤗

    Have you tried tempera (spelling may be off) paint? I'm just curious about the coverage and opacity

    Hi Mel, I got a question.
    You didn't use silicone in this video.
    How is it possible than, that there are still some cells? Is it because of the pouring medium?
    I like your video's a lot :D
    (When you do use silicone, when do you add it? before or after the water? )

    • @MelyDartist

      Hi Joy, I show exactly how I prepare my paints in this video. I don't use silicone, never have. The cells appear because of the process altogether.

    Hey Mel =) First of all, thank you for all your videos. I'm totally in love with what you're doing.
    It inspired me and i'd like to try liquid painting. I have lot of acryl paint (normal acryl not fluid )at home. How can i use them ?
    Does it work if i add pouring medium ? (looking for a way to make it become liquid and not using water) Thank you for your creativity!

    • @MelyDartist
      @MelyDartist  7 років тому

      shishouu thank you so much and yes you can use regular acrylic paint. If you absolutely don't want to use water (which I believe is a must) then yes you will need a lot of pouring medium. hope you have fun and good luck!
