Hi guys! I had such high hopes for this one! But the iridescent just didnt show up. It's still lovely and varnish will definately bring it back to life. Hope you enjoy! Let me know what other pours you would like to see!
If you try this black and iridescent combo again, keep the gold and lime green because those look great on there but go with darker blues and reds. Like Air Force blue (Navy might be too dark) and a fuchsia or magenta. Something bold that’ll clash with the blue but offer a great contrast. Maybe they’d mix together to give a real trippy purple.
I use artist loft iredecent medium in the 4oz tube and use equal parts paint to iredecent and then 2 parts pouring medium with water as needed. It looks like colored crushed pearls! Hope that helps! 💕🏜
I've been watching you for over a year, but only realized last week that I hadn't subscribed. Now that I have, I'm getting all the old videos. I have to say ... you have learned and improved so much. It gives me hope for my own improvement. I love the way you let us travel with you as you enjoy and experiment and grow. I am 73 years old, and have never had so much fun making art 😊 Thank you!
Hi Molly. I use iridescent medium in every single color I have. I use Liquitex and artist loft brands. I found the Liquitex is not quite as thick as the artist loft. I don’t have a specific ratio either. I just add the medium until I’m happy with the shimmer in each color. One thing I have noted, the medium doesn’t show up quite as well in light colors. To get a good shimmer with the light colors, you have add almost double what you’d add to darker colors. Once you get the hang of how it works though, it really adds sparkle to your pieces! 😎
This is exactly what I wanted to know Abby Drake! I did my first pour today. And it stunk. But I scraped it off and know what I did wrong. I’m going to purchase iridescent medium just to have it. I love the effect, but of course have never used it. So you use it as just a regular medium? Thanks!💕
I agree with you about the green. It would have been nicer to have more of that green. I mean it didn't suck by any means. Nothing you do sucks. Lol I didn't use to like that green until my nephew got a Honda Civic in that green and it really grew on me. I love it. It always grabs you attention. Now I'm rambling. Have a great day. Thanks so much for sharing you beautiful talent!
It's cool that you critique and learn as you go. It's nice to know that you don't love all your pieces. My last one was totally bland and took long. So disappointing.
I find myself yelling, “stop fiddling!” I also tilt my tablet the way ‘I’ think you should tilt. Sometimes that works! Lol. Still always love your work.
I think this is my fave vid yet. You tried something new and shared what you learned in the process! I also do Dutch pour. Inspired by you and one other content creator. I had some of those same things happen to me and wasn't exactly sure where I went wrong. You just taught me what I did wrong... Bless you for sharing your experience and helping me grow in the process! 💜💜💜
Oooweee oooweee Miss Molly... I know you aren't thrilled necessarily maybe but I love how lacy and translucent it turned out... Also...lesson on the medium...(I had wondered about it)... Black is a very...'BIG' color...another lesson... I just appreciate all you do and share with us. I've learned so much and I wish the commute from Louisiana was shorter...I'd love a lesson! :0) Thanks Miss Molly. Sincerely
I’ve heard you say before that you clean your cups that way but it was very helpful for me to see you do it. I always like your videos so much. Thank you.
This turned out better than I thought it would. I think if you'd left more of the black base on it, the black would have eaten the paint. So this worked, I think. The only thing I would have done after the blow out is to wreck it. I would have wrecked it by going from the black to the center of the line. Like Milky Way Art does. But over all, it looks pretty cool. You are amazing and I really get a lot of inspiration from you. Thank you!
I wanted to thank-you for the education. I'm an artist but I haven't painted in quite some time. I'm now on disability due to illness and don't have much dexterity. This form of painting allows me to start again. You're work is amazing.
It turned out great. You never know what the Black is going to do, and taking the risk of using the irrisesent on a new piece is challenging. I am glad you did the experiment. I like it But I like to work in black, and grey backgrounds. Loved watching you experiment as always, and as always I learned from you.
I love how it turned out. I also was not impressed with the iridescent medium. I wonder if it will change when varnished. Maybe more depth. I'll pass on any tips. Your are a great teacher - thank you!!!
I love that you been stepping out of your boundaries it’s nice to get to see different things and how it works thanks Molly ! I truly thought it was stunning!! Lisa
👋 Molly. 1st congratulations on getting your classes achievement bet it’s fun 😀. My iridescent painting don’t whelm me either so I sneak in a metallic. 🤫. Oh I know I’m going to enjoy peeling the paint out of my cups No more washing for me.
Loved the colours. I am loving the bright colours you are using. I hope you do one with vibrant colours like that green and pink. It really pops and gives almost a 3D effect n the black canvas. I am going to take my pencil shavings and create a painting with them in it strategically placed. It should be fun to work on and I will add a black background. Great work Molly! Very inspirational.
i think it's beautiful. it's a mermaid. 💗 to me, you hung it upside down. Lol! looking at the screen @10:15, i could see an _Ophelia-esque_ silhouette. her face being in the first 1/4 of the canvas. her tail fins, ending in the green. am i making sense? 😂
I love this piece. Colors are gorgeous. I've used the irredecent medium and have found in order to get the look I want, I have to add a lot and sometimes that's still not enough lol. I just go for paint that already has the sparkle in it... metallics or irredecenses. I bet once you get the varnish on it'll really come to life with those colors popping out.
Okay, mid blow dryer current, you said you didn't like the color. WTF, you picked the colors. No room for doubt. Go with it! And I'm liking it, because my niece now has said it would look great in her room. Oh yes, as high tech room. Stop being so critical!
I am allowed to have an opinion of my own painting! I can say that I love a color, hate a color, like an effect, or don't. It's all last of the process. Dont think critical, think reflective. If you have seen any of my other videos i say the same thing each time. If you don't like it figure out why and learn from it. It is a process. No one is perfect.
Hey! No criticism here! I loved it! I agree that it's your work and you are the boss of it! I actually enjoyed watching you do this. As far as observing your technique, It just disturbs me that you would be able be to be so dismissive of your choices when I must consider the result, which is wonderful.
I love your channel. Just some thoughts, I would have put in white, yellow, and gold along a continuous trail. Then added darker turquoise, blue and pink, but keep them in and odd number of isolated patches (3 or 5) that blend after blowing. Also I think it needed a bit more curving flow to it. Seems a bit too linear. I hope you try it again. I agree it needed the black that you blew off. I tend to calculate the surface area and how thick I want the base layer to be and then convert to an exact volume keeping about 10% in reserve for fixing things around the edges.
Hello Molly I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning if you hold the hairdryer upside down when you blow the paint out the design would come out better pis try this way n see for your self INN SHAA ALLAH it will turnout beautiful pls do try
Hello Molly, I like everything you do or try out, thank you! One other iridescent medium, that works better imo, is the one from Reeves. It can also be mixed with any colour and gives good results without using a lot. But it has to be mixed with only the colour first, before you'll thin it with medium and/or water. Otherwise you might get lumps.
Molly, just my inexperienced opinion, but, it is really beautiful! Love the colors. It's really lovely my dear Molly! Wishes for you not to be disappointed!😁🥰🐇❣
Having come back to old videos from new ones I can definitely see that the iridescent medium is nowhere near as pretty and shimmery as the pearl paints from Amsterdam and the Pebeo iridescent paints. Very glad I opted for those instead even though it was the more expensive route.
Molly I did a large canvas for a client that was five flip cups with iridescent medium added to prussian blue poured as negative space between the cups. I believe the ratio was 75% medium to paint and when dry it truly was gorgeous. I had done a test canvas where the iridescent Prussian was a part of the flip cup but the cells were much to grainy. Anyway I think perhaps 25% you mentioned may have not been enough. Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday at Las Olas.
Hi Molly , I reuse all my cups and sticks too ! I use Artists loft iridescent medium a lot with my colors and it really comes out beautifully. They're not expensive and go on sale a lot at Michaels. Happy Painting 🤗 Byeee 👋
Oh cool. I remember wanting to see something like this, I know what you mean when you said you were underwhelmed, seems like there's more potential for it. I liked it though! Mixing a little matte medium with the black would be cool too to give a little more contrast.
You ought to try putting the iridescent in the black, it might look better, and use the hot sharp colours I like the yellow, lime and hot pink. Never mind you do what you want I’m still going to watch.
MOLLY'S ARTISTRY It was just a thought that popped into my head as soon as I watched it,I have no idea if it will work or not as I am no painter, fingers crossed though it might look pretty.

@@ArtByJulieE Hi Julia, what medium do you use for the 2 parts? Thanks You ☺🐇❣
Still waiting for my swipe! 😃
Hey is this for sale? Where can I buy your art?
I've been watching you for over a year, but only realized last week that I hadn't subscribed. Now that I have, I'm getting all the old videos. I have to say ... you have learned and improved so much. It gives me hope for my own improvement. I love the way you let us travel with you as you enjoy and experiment and grow. I am 73 years old, and have never had so much fun making art 😊 Thank you!
I love the fact when something isn't perfect she doesn't act like everything is I love a humble person 😌
Oh i am far from prefect! Lol
Looks like a COLORFUL SPINAL CORD! VERY NICE 👍!
omg !!!!! that green against the black is wow lol !!!!! its wonderful !!!!! enjoy your night
Very organic shapes. I see very beautiful fantasy ethereal fish tails! Or an ethereal flower petals! This is not just beautiful it’s very beautiful ❤️
It was so satisfying watching you spread the black paint around like it’s melted chocolate!
I love using the blow dryer since I started watching you do it. Makes it so much easier.
I think the colors are luscious! Yes, the green and yellow pop, but not everything can pop. 😊. I think it looks wonderful just like it is.
It gives a smoky effect, I really like this one!
Bright and beautiful

So helpful! Thank you
What would be the difference between a pearlescent medium and an iridescent medium?
Good to know 😊 thanks!
Thank you for your info
This is exactly what I wanted to know Abby Drake! I did my first pour today. And it stunk. But I scraped it off and know what I did wrong. I’m going to purchase iridescent medium just to have it. I love the effect, but of course have never used it. So you use it as just a regular medium? Thanks!💕
I absolutely LOVE this one!!!!
Looks like a spinal cord. Very nice 👍
I think the black looks great! Cheers, Paige C.
Wow very cool and beautiful love it

Beautiful colors, I’m always reluctant with black backgrounds, but you make look so effortless and easy.
I think it is stunning!!! I just love the dark background, too!
Thank you so much!
I really liked this paint.
It's cool that you critique and learn as you go. It's nice to know that you don't love all your pieces. My last one was totally bland and took long. So disappointing.
Molly, very stunning and the colors are gorgeous.
STunning.
Thank you. Very cool. Your tips are great!!!🙏🏻 We learn also from your more "underwhelming" work that I love.
I find myself yelling, “stop fiddling!” I also tilt my tablet the way ‘I’ think you should tilt. Sometimes that works! Lol. Still always love your work.
Love that!

Love that you reuse the cups
Thanks so much Molly..... so beautiful
Oooweee oooweee Miss Molly... I know you aren't thrilled necessarily maybe but I love how lacy and translucent it turned out... Also...lesson on the medium...(I had wondered about it)...
Black is a very...'BIG' color...another lesson...
I just appreciate all you do and share with us. I've learned so much and I wish the commute from Louisiana was shorter...I'd love a lesson! :0)
Thanks Miss Molly. Sincerely
Hey...just a thought...could you add a second layer or would it go muddy?
Thank you so much! Another layer at the time after blown out would have probably gone muddy yes.
I yelled STOP after that first line of green went down...simple and stunning on its own. Very pretty Molly thanks.
I love it...love all your Dutch pour 🥰
I love it.
Beautiful job Molly i really like 👍it.
Love the colors
Molly, add mica powders to your paints! I’ve found it’s the best way to get the sparkle you are after x
Yes, I have a bunch too, great idea!
So beautiful I love the colors
I’ve heard you say before that you clean your cups that way but it was very helpful for me to see you do it. I always like your videos so much. Thank you.

Looks great to me!
I am getting ready for my first pour..... lol go me.
I wanted to thank-you for the education. I'm an artist but I haven't painted in quite some time. I'm now on disability due to illness and don't have much dexterity. This form of painting allows me to start again. You're work is amazing.
Thank you so much! I hope you get back to painting soon! I hope yout find all the joy in it!
Molly, thanks for your generous tips. I love seeing your gorgeous art unfold. Keep safe 😍😍😍
It turned out great. You never know what the Black is going to do, and taking the risk of using the irrisesent on a new piece is challenging. I am glad you did the experiment. I like it But I like to work in black, and grey backgrounds. Loved watching you experiment as always, and as always I learned from you.
Thank you!
Really, I love this one alot 😆!
Yay, thank you!
Appreciate how you reuse your plastics instead of throwing them away.. :)
About recycling. How to get use of the paint on the plastic. It almost look like the fur of a cow. 😍
And keeping all that paint out of the water supply. 😁
Love the gold & green they really pop out of your painting. Pulling the dried paint out of your cup’s look’s so satisfying lol 😂💖
Il est magnifique j'adore
I pick up the iridescence in the pink... It's pretty :)
I love doing black Dutch pours way more than white. Its beautiful
Molly this is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! 💚 💛 💜
Amazing👏👏👏👏👏
I used it before not on a black base but it came out good. I love the green, it's so vibrant.
I love how it turned out. I also was not impressed with the iridescent medium. I wonder if it will change when varnished. Maybe more depth. I'll pass on any tips. Your are a great teacher - thank you!!!
Molly, this is lovely! The colors are fantastic! Wtg! Thanks for sharing! 🌹💐🥰
I love it and want to try it--had to laugh-- this would look great in a spine Dr.,s office--I have a weird sense of humor
😂 some one bought it, but you are right it would fit in a chiropractor office! They would want to fix it because its crooked though lol
Love it!
I love that you been stepping out of your boundaries it’s nice to get to see different things and how it works thanks Molly ! I truly thought it was stunning!! Lisa
Apparently the Artist Loft Iridescent Medium is better than the Liquitex. It supposedly shows more though it also lightens up colors a bit initially.
Ok, Thanks, I will try that one!
It looks like a sound wave. I love it. It's different to the one before .
The colors did seem to pop better on the white background. I did like it more once you took us closer. So many pretty details.
👋 Molly. 1st congratulations on getting your classes achievement bet it’s fun 😀.
My iridescent painting don’t whelm me either so I sneak in a metallic. 🤫.
Oh I know I’m going to enjoy peeling the paint out of my cups No more washing for me.
My fingernails are weak, but using a pointed skewer works to start it, too.
hahaaaa just like a colorful dragon! nice Molly!
Loved the colours. I am loving the bright colours you are using. I hope you do one with vibrant colours like that green and pink. It really pops and gives almost a 3D effect n the black canvas. I am going to take my pencil shavings and create a painting with them in it strategically placed. It should be fun to work on and I will add a black background. Great work Molly! Very inspirational.
Thank you! Oh that should be really cool with the pencil shavings! Let me know how it goes!
Well it’s vibrant love the blues
Looks really awesome. Reminds of a fossil that sat under a rainbow for some time
Love all her Dutch pours so beautiful 😍 love yours too🌹❤️
You inspire me to paint 🎨
its beautiful and very inspiring....thank you...love your channel !!!!
you did what you felt today...it's still BEAUTIFL
Thank you
i think it's beautiful. it's a mermaid. 💗

I used Artist Loft Iridescent Medium in my paint. I could barely see it. I guess I needed to use more also. Just didn't know HOW MUCH to use....
I love this, the colours are beautiful and I'm glad you didn't blow it out any further. It's gorgeous.
I love the colors!! I have yet to. figure out how you make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing!!
Çok güzel, harikasınız
Use the end of a screwdriver to make hole in bottom of dry paint cups.
Okay, mid blow dryer current, you said you didn't like the color. WTF, you picked the colors. No room for doubt. Go with it! And I'm liking it, because my niece now has said it would look great in her room. Oh yes, as high tech room. Stop being so critical!

Love this. :)
Pouring the black on the whute canvas made my heart so happy lol I couldn't focus on what you were saying. Soooooo pretty
Well, I like it a lot and I think it will look even better when you varnish it.
Love this one!!!
I love it much more than the white. It's going to sing when it's varnished! It's beautiful Mollly!
LOOKS GREAT TO ME! I LIKE THE COLORS AND THE SIZE OF THE CANVAS. HP
I think it's gorgeous
I have to watch more and more. Can’t wait to get it.
I love your channel. Just some thoughts, I would have put in white, yellow, and gold along a continuous trail.

Hi! Yes, I have done it this way as well, normally on my larger pieces. Thanks for the tip!
I love working with iridescent colors; they're my favourite paints :) I love how your work turned out, looks like you had a lot of fun as well :D
This one is really beautiful, you're messy but marvelous....
😂 thank you!
Thats my favorite of the recent ones I've seen. Love that it covered most of the canvas. I too love blues and purples but this was cool.
Thank you!

I've used it too but was underwhelmed. Maybe I didn't use enough. How much do you use in your paints?
Oh cool. I remember wanting to see something like this, I know what you mean when you said you were underwhelmed, seems like there's more potential for it. I liked it though!
Mixing a little matte medium with the black would be cool too to give a little more contrast.
Good idea!
💓Love the fact that you remove the dried paint & reuse the plastic cups💓
I love it! Put a gloss finish on it. That green you don’t like looks great.
Awesome Molly. :O)~
Beautiful, thank you. 😍❤️
You ought to try putting the iridescent in the black, it might look better, and use the hot sharp colours I like the yellow, lime and hot pink. Never mind you do what you want I’m still going to watch.
Hahahah, I am always open to suggestions!
