- My friend Anna Blount and I worked on a patriotic abstract art "Stars and Swipes" collaboration. I love how Anna's video turned out which you can watch hear - • Stars And Swipes! 🇺🇸 P...
The blue and red paints were mixed 2 parts Floetrol to 1 Part Paint. The white was mixed one part Essentials Titanium White (Walmart), 1 part Artist Loft Flow Acrylic white, and 2 parts of Floetrol. The consistency of both was medium thin (barely left a cone then disappears).
That was fun to watch!! I started with my 3 grandsons for Christmas two years ago. They were 11, 9 & 6 years old. Now I'm painting with my 3 year old granddaughter. Thanks for sharing,& have a wonderful day. 😊
Thanks Judy. I love painting with my 11 year old daughter too.
I started my journey 15 months ago. I’d had surgery to remove a lung cancer in 2021 and I was so stressed thinking it was going to come back. I needed a hobby to take my mind off things. I came across your youtube channel and others. It was a godsend. Thank you so much ❤️🏴
So glad pouring is a great help for you and I pray for your continued recovery.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. I’ve appreciated all of your videos! You are a great teacher.
So nice of you Sarah. Thanks for watching.
During the COVID 19 lockdown 😅 I instantly fell in love. I tried an American Flag pour before, but mine was a mess 😅 thank you for sharing! I may need to try this out 🔥
You are so welcome! I've done a few and this was by far my best one.
I think this turned out AMAZING ❤
Thanks Regina
David!! I absolutely Love this Video! I am going to try this right Now!!!! You're a Patriot! My husband and I are very big fans of The 4th of July. Also, Patriots. Can't wait to try this. Wish me luck. Right now, My Husband has half of the Garage setting up a firework show, and I have the other half where I paint. Wow this is going to be fun.
That is an explosive garage. 8) Hope the holiday is amazing for you Dolores.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Oh yeah I can't use the torch My husband would kill me, LOL so I won't kill us! so I been using the heat gun..
@@LeftBrainedArtist Thanks David same to you!
Really turned out nice
Thanks Mary. Just needs a finish coat and a nice place to hang it.
Excellent, great ideas, I like it, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
That was pretty cool. It looks unique and very nice 👍🏽 👍🏽. Have a very safe and Happy July 4th. 🇺🇸
Thanks! You too Noemi.
Lovely piece, great abstract of the flag
Thank you so much Christine 😀
A month ago, now studying your videos form which I learned a loft. Greetings from 🇧🇪 Carla
Thanks for watching Frans.
Great video! I liked hearing more of your background, and the abstract flag turned out great! Thanks for being a part of this with me!
Glad you enjoyed it Anna. Thanks for asking me to participate.
Great video I love it. I started my paint journey 12 months ago after watching some UA-cam videos and got hooked. Thanks for sharing ❤❤
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing Jeanette.
Love this!! I definitely wanna do one like this now. Maybe even a huge piece of canvas to hang on our gate at our new house!! And I didn’t know that story about how you got started pour painting! Love it… I was a Scout leader too! Way back when my boys were little 💖 & my husband went up to Life Scout…
That's where I stopped also. Eagle was too much work. Loved the camping and learning though.
I love this - and I love how yours turned out better than how Anna's turned out. Maybe next year you can try with that thicker layer of paint.
It is all in the eye of the beholder. Mine was definitely more abstract than hers.
Oh how cool! What a great idea with the swipes! Great job, I love it 😍 ❤❤
Gracias Amiga!
This is gorgeous David; one of the best swipe paintings I've ever seen in fact! How awesome would this look as a t-shirt design?! 🥰
Great idea! I just might have to do that.
Love this! I started playing w fluid painting during covid
That's awesome! Have you kept up painting? How frequently do you do it?
@@LeftBrainedArtist regularly in 2021 but moved to a new State in 2022 and haven't unpacked my painting stuff yet. P.s. I love the analytical ways that you experiment in your videos!
Great job! So pretty
Thank you Juanita! 😊
Wonderful video
Many thanks Ruth.
I love your flag David, my dad was a pilot in the Air Force. Happy 4th of July !!!!
Happy 4th Jan!
Amazing! I love this abstract version of our flag! Beautiful! Happy Fourth of July!
Thank you so much Deborah.
I started pouring 3 years ago at the age of 78. The pandemic was to blame. 😂 My brother in law took a class and showed me how to do a flip cup. UA-cam did the rest. I also started crocheting at the same time. About 18 months ago I started doing resin. Now I'm drowning in projects that I don't know what to do with. 😂😂
Haha, I know that feeling but mine are all household related on top of my painting.
I started in February of 2022. Not sure why or how. But it's been fun.
Nice to have you with us my friend!
Awe 💙 💙 What a good dad ❤️ I have 4 boys
One of each for me. Now if I can just get my oldest to get his drivers license.
Have a beautiful day! 🎆
Same to you my friend.
I really love this swipe, David! I think it looks great! Happy Forth of July from Canada!
Thanks my friend.
This is so amazing. Love it completely. Btw I have a question to ask..I bought a canvas that mentioned it is a medium grained cotton canvas. Few brands offer fine grained, super fine grained, medium grained canvases. I want to know which is the best for acrylic pour painting? Fine? Superfine or Medium grained? Or I can use any of them? Does it matter? I am really confused.
You can use any of them. The more fine the less you'll see the "texture" of the canvas through your painting when it dries. I don't mind the texture so I usually go for the cheapest with the best quality frame.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Thank you so much for clearing out my doubts and for such a quick response. You are such a great guide. Always helping us by sharing your knowledge. Thanks again!
Hi Dave I have a 3 ft ceramic statue of liberty I want to paint it as close to the color as I can . Can you recommend any suggestions for the color
Oh that is a tough one. I might have to phone a friend on that one.
I love your flag! I did one that’s actually going to be in a show this week. I like yours better!
Now don't go disparaging your own work Kathy. They are different and people will like them with varying degrees also. 8)
How many layers of paper towels did you use? How thick?
These were 1 1/4" and single layer. I only used a half a sheet of paper towels total. I did use a few of them more than once for the red sections.
@@LeftBrainedArtist I actually used a small sponge brush wiping after every stroke. I think I did Ok..Thanks for the Idea! I will hang it proudly at our July fourth Bash! If I don't blow up my Garage before than. LOL
I don't get the stars on like school paper
Not sure what you mean here?
2020. The start of Covid.
I think a lot of us jumped in then. Definitely when it got big.
@@LeftBrainedArtist yeah. I been watching a ton of UA-cam videos on different techniques, and then trying them.
