@@ArtbyBrooke Awe, thanks! Right back at ya!!! 🤗❤🤗❤ I really enjoy the interaction with other art lovers, the suggestions, and the encouragement! It's a great community!
Just now seeing this comment, unfortunately UA-cam doesn't seem to notify me when I get a comment under another comment. I will try to show that more in my next video! The vase is sitting on a cup, so I try to very carefully lift it by holding the cup. I usually try to move it while the paint is still flowing because I often touch the lip of the vase and leave finger marks, so the flowing paint can cover that up.
Hello :) I don't do an exact ratio, I usually start with 1:2 paint to floetrol but I mainly go by consistency because every brand of paint is different (I need more floetrol for thicker paints). I break down my mixing process in this video: ua-cam.com/video/e2jDUFZjbCI/v-deo.html (as I show in the video, I sometimes add some water, but often I just add a little extra floetrol instead if I want to thin it a little).
I understand, a lot of people ask for that but I see that you were able to later find my video on taking a vase off of the canvas :) Here is the link in case anyone else is looking: ua-cam.com/video/0G0_VA-vpkU/v-deo.html
Thank you so much! I add a pouring medium, in most cases I use Floetrol, at about 2 parts Floetrol to 1 part paint (depending on if the paint is thicker or not) and I sometimes add a tiny bit of water, but not every time. I have a video on how I paint a geode and I show my paint mixing process if you are interested: ua-cam.com/video/e2jDUFZjbCI/v-deo.html
I didn't leave it in this video because it's often precarious and awkward, but I will try to include it in my next vase paint pour. The vase is upside down on a cup that is wider than the vase, so I gently and carefully pick it up by the cup but sometimes my fingers hit the vase. I try to move it while the paint is still moving/flowing so the paint still rolls down the side and covers where I touched it (if it doesn't, I add a little more paint).
Thank you! I honestly can't remember if I primed that one. If I do anything, I like using gesso on the canvas but I only do that for maybe 30% of them. Usually canvas comes pre-primed so unless I notice holes or bare canvas, I mostly just skip that step.
Thank you very much! If you look in the description you can see a list of all of the brands and colors I used. I try to do that for every video if I know which paints were chosen (sometimes I use leftover paints and can't remember what it originally was). I mix my paints with Floetrol (mine is the US version) unless they're already pre-mixed.
Those turned out beautiful! This would be great Christmas gifts - about how much is the cost of the materials needed? Can you share a shopping list? Thank you!
Thank you! If you click in the description below my video, you can see which paints and pouring medium (floetrol, in this case) I use. It'll depend on how much those cost in your area (though you can totally do this with just craft paints) but I would guess that everything included costs less than $10. I look for sales on all of my favorite materials before I grab them. Also, the glass vase is from my local Dollar Tree for $1, but you could also keep an eye out for any glass vases at garage sales or thrift stores.
Hi thank you! If you click "Show More" in my description, you can see all of the paint colors and brands I used :) I like to use Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel (spray).
did you mix each paint with Fluetrol before pouring into the cup? and could you use a container to save the extra paint and pour the excess on another vessel?
Yes, I mix each color paint with Floetrol and sometimes a little tiny bit of water (not required, just depends on how thick your mixture is). And I have a playlist with some tips and tricks, including a couple of ways to store your paint for later: ua-cam.com/play/PL1XeEzqCLcbV3T_Q2EP2UCnLl_GwKBez0.html I've had paint last for a couple of months even, as long as it is sealed well. I just usually have to add a little more Floetrol and a little more water to thin is back out again. Stir well and check for clumps before pouring.
Hi! I use Floetrol (the U.S. one) as a flow medium. I usually start with about 1/3 paint to 2/3 Floetrol but I mix to a specific consistency so it can differ depending on the thickness of the paint. I also sometimes add a little bit of water but usually not a lot. If you would like to see a video where I walk you through my mixing process, you can check out my How To Paint A Geode video here: ua-cam.com/video/e2jDUFZjbCI/v-deo.html You can use a spray sealer! I only have experience with Rust-oleum Crystal Clear Enamel. You will need to spray it outside/in a garage/in a well-ventilated area because it has a STRONG smell. I like Liquitex Varnish too, but I use brushes to paint that on instead of spraying. Thank you for your comment!
I have used (and liked) Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel spray, like this: amzn.to/3Xh3gLN (an affiliate link, I make a small commission off of purchases). You would need to spray it on the outside, and be sure to hand wash the inside of the glass only because I don't believe it's dishwasher safe. You can usually find it or something similar at local hardware stores :)
Thank you! I'm so excited you're starting, it can be really fun :) The amount of floetrol I add depends on how thick the paint is (craft acrylics are thinner and more watery than heavy body acrylics). You can use any acrylic as far as I know, and I like trying all kinds of brands to see what I like best. Most of my paint pouring videos list the brands I use in the description so you can see from some of my more recent ones, I have tried most of the paint you would find at a local craft store at one time or another (I have just heard to avoid Apple Barrel white because it can crack as it dries). Here is a video of how I paint pour my geodes if you would like to watch me mixing paint: ua-cam.com/video/e2jDUFZjbCI/v-deo.html . I hope that is helpful, feel free to ask any other questions!
Hi :) I mix it in with my paint. You can see my paint mixing process at the beginning of this tutorial video I made: ua-cam.com/video/e2jDUFZjbCI/v-deo.html
The vase is upside down on a cup that is wider than the vase, so I gently and carefully pick it up by the cup but sometimes my fingers hit the vase. I try to move it while the paint is still moving/flowing so the paint still rolls down the side and covers where I touched it (if it doesn't, I add a little more paint). Then when it's dry, I just take it off the cup. Thanks for watching!
I'm not sure, I haven't tried! I would imagine you could :) Depending on the texture, it might be helpful to use gesso first to prep it. But ceramic and glass seem to have similar textures when they are vases.
Hi! I talk about tips and tricks for vase pours in my video here: ua-cam.com/video/0G0_VA-vpkU/v-deo.html but basically I show in it that I usually don't have paint going under the lip of the vase. If you do, you could gently use a little bit of sandpaper on the inside but try to avoid peeling any paint, as it could peel your outside paint too.
It's really shiny in the video because it's all still wet paint. But when they're dry I like using Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel gloss spray ( like this: amzn.to/3V0HWIQ ) on the vases (you'll need to carefully hand wash most likely) and Liquitex varnish ( like this: amzn.to/4bi00nz ) on the canvas. Those are affiliate links and I do make a small percentage off of sales through them at no additional cost to you. But you can also find the spray at local hardware stores like Lowes or Home Depot, and the Liquitex Varnish at art stores like Michaels.
The vase is upside down on a cup that is wider than the vase, so I gently and carefully pick it up by the cup but sometimes my fingers hit the vase. I try to move it while the paint is still moving/flowing so the paint still rolls down the side and covers where I touched it (if it doesn't, I add a little more paint). Then when it's dry, I just take it off the cup.
The paint keeps moving for quite awhile until it dries, so I have never had it dry thick. Luckily because of the glass, most of the paint slides off (but this means your vase changes a lot as it dries too, so don't get too attached to the look haha). As long as the vase is on something (I use upside down cups) and not sitting in paint, I usually don't have trouble with drips going inside. You could take some sandpaper once the paint is all dry and just gently sand out anything that gets inside if needed.
Cest très joli.Est ce que je peux utiliser cette technique sur des verres que j'utilise ?c'est à dire est ce que je peux laver mes verres sans risque sur la peinture?merci
(J'utilise Google Translate, je m'excuse pour les erreurs) Je ne pense pas que vous puissiez utiliser des verres à boire à moins d'utiliser une peinture spéciale et un scellant pour le garder sans danger pour votre corps. Malheureusement, je ne sais pas ce que vous auriez besoin d'utiliser. Pour ce vase, je dis aux gens de ne laver à la main que l'intérieur et d'essuyer doucement l'extérieur.
Hi Maria! I carefully grab is by the cup (an upside down cup is what the vase rests on) and just carefully balance it and move it. I show it here: ua-cam.com/video/0G0_VA-vpkU/v-deo.html
I'm so sorry Yusraa, that sounds really frustrating. Dull colors can come from not having contrast in your pour (like if all of your colors are light or all of your colors are dark), or it could be that the colors are too thin and mixing together. Also, if your pouring medium (in my case, I use Floetrol) dries matte instead of shiny or glossy, that can make the colors look a little dull. For me, when I varnish my paintings later with a shiny varnish, it brings back those colors. Also, if your colors are getting muddy (like all of the colors are kind of dull and gray or brownish, or just all a similar color after pouring) then you may want to focus on only colors that work together. Colors on opposite sides of a color wheel look beautiful next to each other, but if they mix they can create a muddy look. I would recommend focusing on just using colors together that when they mix, can make something cool as well. Like blue and yellow together when mixed would make green, which is nice, so you could do a blue, yellow, and green pour. Or, you could try doing a puddle pour, which reduces the places where colors might mix and get muddy. I have several puddle pours but you could check out this one as an example: ua-cam.com/video/wx9svG-mJ20/v-deo.html I hope this helps!
@@ArtbyBrooke That was a really nice and thorough answer Brooke! Thanks, as it helped confirm what I've been learning. My problem is, the paint NEVER forms the tree rings- just goes straight down creating vertical stripes. I feel like my paint's reasonably thick, but maybe should be thicker still? 🤔 Love your vase! I wanna eat it as I'm convinced it is a big piece of candy!! 😄
I'm so sorry that happened, that is so disappointing! Often that means the paint is too thin. I did have to learn too, that the vase would change as it dried since it keeps moving for awhile after I stop pouring. I hope you get a chance to try again sometime!
I didn't leave it in this video because it's often precarious and awkward, but I will try to include it in my next vase paint pour.

How do you move the vase from the canvas without messing up the paint on the vase?

Hi! I use Floetrol (the U.S. one) as a flow medium. I usually start with about 1/3 paint to 2/3 Floetrol but I mix to a specific consistency so it can differ depending on the thickness of the paint.

I'm not sure, I haven't tried! I would imagine you could :) Depending on the texture, it might be helpful to use gesso first to prep it. But ceramic and glass seem to have similar textures when they are vases.
How do you clean the edge of the vase

How you move the vase,?
Hi Maria! I carefully grab is by the cup (an upside down cup is what the vase rests on) and just carefully balance it and move it. I show it here: ua-cam.com/video/0G0_VA-vpkU/v-deo.html
My colors come out so dull,ive done 4 acrylic pours so far and my compyrs is just not glossy at all..Some of it seems "stodgy" on the canvas. HELP lol
I'm so sorry Yusraa, that sounds really frustrating. Dull colors can come from not having contrast in your pour (like if all of your colors are light or all of your colors are dark), or it could be that the colors are too thin and mixing together. Also, if your pouring medium (in my case, I use Floetrol) dries matte instead of shiny or glossy, that can make the colors look a little dull.
