- Here I pour 2 puddles on a 40"x16" canvas and surround them by white paint.
All the colors have Liquitex pouring medium added to them and are then diluted with water.

I don’t know if anyone else does this - but when I watch you on my phone I find myself moving my phone like I am helping you move your pour around haha 😂 I am a fan of negative space and depth at the same time working together and I think this is stunningly beautiful with both effects being balanced!!
You are not the only as many have commented saying they do the same! Glad you like it, thank you so much :)
I love your simple color combos, and the end results are fantastic, thanks again
It IS freakin' awesome! I think that touch of blue peeping out really compliments the earth tones - like the sky does for the earth. Love it.
EXACTLY! You described it like I see it, thank you so much for that :)
Those are the cells I like....look like spider webs. Really turned out nice nice, Mel.
Another awesome painting.....love it.
I love this one MelyD. Listen, I can't believe how well cells are produced by using Liquitex pouring medium. It acts like you put satin enamel in the white mix. Again, the cost of these materials can be so high, but honestly, I feel like the pouring medium is an essential part of doing this kind of artwork. It really adds the extra punch to kick the painting up a couple of notches.
I love the way this one turned out, especially how the blue ended up! Instant fave!
Terri Light thank you Terri!!!
Another glorious result!
I have a tip for those who ask, "how much" medium do you pour?" This is a tip from my bartending days, simply count 1001, 1002 (etc) as you pour. Since each person counts at a different pace, they can count to your video as you are pouring and then practice (measure) by pouring the medium into a shot glass or measuring cup marked for ounces. As you pour, count the 1001, 1002 and see how much it measures. I've been counting your pours of Liquitex Pouring medium and for my pace, "most" of your pours average a 2-count of "1001, 1002." The really small amounts of paint that look like they are less than 1 ounce in your cup, sometimes you only pour to the count of 1001 and for your white cup, sometimes 1001, 1002, 1003. When counting, count at a normal pace, meaning not fast, but a normal speaking pace. Although a count of 1001 is supposed to = 1/2 ounce, 1001, 1002 = 1 ounce, and 1001, 1002, 1003 = 1.5 ounce (measuring 1/2 ounce per count), most people just don't count at the same pace. Hope this helps.
what would you describe the consistency like. it looks runnier than warm honey, but I'm not sure if that is too runny?
@@lizp.b2003 I tried to look at how full the cups were considering those were little 2 oz bottles of paint and then the rest was water.
Magical...just magical. You have got quite the touch!
Love these colors, pour is awesome!
Thor work is usually beautiful and always interesting. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Love it! I Love doing negative space paintings, HOWEVER, I have not done one without Smashing and torching it.
Sooooo, for today, YOU, my dear, will be my inspiration.
I have a very large canvas, and the "geode" look will be superb. I will look to see if you posted other colors in this technique. Thank you for sharing with us.
TODAY: I shall not smash. I shall not torch. That's my mantra for the day...gonna be hard for me not to smash, but I do have some will power!
LOL
Have a blessed day, Mely.
I bought the expensive Liquitex pouring medium, and it did nothing for me. I switched to Floetrol, and I LOVE it! I get cells no matter what and swipes are ridiculously awesome! Also I use the Treadmill Silicone. I like these products very much and use nothing else but distilled water. My pours come out nice. I also use the house paint, in satin, for my white. Never get cracking or crazing this way.
Gorgeous!! Yes I'm with you and Billy Connelly... He said "Beige should never have been invented"!! Love this colour combo here and the effects are amazing! I've gotta try some white mixes! Cheers and have a great day.
Thanks Neena and have a great one too!
Very nice pour!! I love watching your painting change
I like you show your mixing the paint with some Liquitex pouring medium & water....no Floetrol! Great results!!!
Negative space Great job!!!
Beautiful. Like the inside of a geod
Your right it is awesome!!!.. Lovin' it!
Absolutely gorgeous...the painting too! No seriously, this is one of your best so far...and there are many of those! Thanks again for the inspiration!

why do men make jokes like this? For attention?
How did I miss seeing this one?! It’s Perfection! I still haven’t posted a negative space video but when I do I’ll let u know & tag ya! This did come out freakin amazing!!! Good to know that those colors will eat your blue paint up, I really like how the blue does show up as a shadow color in the cloud puffs, adds that little extra depth! Have a great evening!😘
I love this one! It looks like a geode
Very nice - love the big size canvas :)
Thanks for sharing
I was so happy when I switched I had TWO new videos of yours to watch! You're my favorite 💚💚💚
You're so sweet Amber thank you!
This is absolutely stunning! You inspire me to try so many different things! I’m even trying different white mixes now lol thanks Mel!
Lovin' it, again an other wonderful piece!!!
very cool minimal image i like brown and other earthy colors thanks M.
I love that you're using a different canvas size. I prefer reactangle canvases to the square ones, so I'm glad to finally see how you spread your paint. I've been struggling with longer canvases, even though I find them prettier in the end. I always seem to lack paint. Anyways, thanks for the video!
I love it. It came out beautiful
MelyD thanks for sharing another beautiful pour. It's always a cool surprise to see how they turn out.
My pleasure Debra. Happy you like it!
I love the negative space and your colour choices. It was very interesting to see how everything change after a period of time. I am new to this and think you have inspired me to give this look a try! Thank you!
You are 'simply the best' yet another fabulous pour. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌
Thank you so much Lyn! :)
Love the flow and positive space! Great job!
I wasn’t sure about this one at first, but later after it had more time I can see the beauty. Congrats.
Love it!
I AM IN 💜💜💜very dramatic!!

Soul.Friend Agape thank you so much!
Houalala qu'il est sublime ! 💙💚💛💜
when you said your eye balls pop out when you see beige I about died! You remind me of my daughters. That's a good thing. You rock!
beautiful.
Really wonderful!
Sorry but I preferred it as it was before you added in the Coral pink we see on the dried result.
I love Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber , beautiful useful colours that contrast so well with so many others and that can be changed to different tones or shades very easily.
My first ever pour was a huge success and I used Burnt Sienna , blue , green gold & white.
I love the effects you got with the white on this one. Very pretty .
MelyD. i love this one. Most of yours are really beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous
Melyd I love it as always , I dont think I'll ever stop liking yur paintings there awesome, some people have amazing talent others don't so you have it and I know you'll keep it and I will always watch your videos love always D
Thank you so much Deena! I just saw this 1 week later... xXx!

My new favorite! Great job!
Beautiful
Amazing ❤❤❤
Outstanding!!!!!!
So amazing! Love it!
Bravo jadors
Wow! Wow! melyD
Awesome! ❤️🌞
love it
You are a sweetheart and amazing artist! I do think its somewhat frustrating for viewers to see your results but have to pay to get "the secret"
If you are speaking about the other brand of paint that is in my white mix, it is not included in the document. The document is a compilation of everything I show put into words with pictures and detailed info. I created it because I was and still am incapable of answering everyone's questions. It is the go-to for all the info that I update as I go. My channel is where I share my experiments and I have never asked for a penny for all the time and money I put into it. If you find it frustrating, then maybe you can do like me and practice on your own?
MelyD.artist I did not mean to be a negative. I just know that you are a great teacher ans have many videos explaining cells. I am practicing. Lol God be with me.
so much happening
can t take it all in 😮
negative space must grab some
credit in this "success" 🎉
BRAVO, c'est très beau
Awesome as always!
Loving your work as always :)
your blue flame canvas awhile back is my favorite.
I’m not a huge fan of most negative space pourings but I love this. Sure would love to know your white secret ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😇😇😇
Thank you so much! :)
very nice
love it!!!
Looks like a dragon!
At 6:51 you had an awesome naturally made geode, with “crystals” surrounding the inner
edge where most crystals form, due to the gasses that cause the hole in center. 1st time sad.
Still lovely thou! I just saw something differently. That’s what’s cool about this type of art.
I love your tutorials. I was wondering if you could make something in different grays and some blue to help me with the colors I'm struggling with. I need help 😆
GORGEOUS...as usual!!! Wonderful composition & colors. Thank you!
Hi Mely, just wondering if you could tell more of an exact measure of paint to water to pouring medium that you used to achieve this look. you said at the beginning of this video that you had 2 bottles of colour per cup, and I seen you added a squirt of pouring medium, but later it looked like your cups were quite full, did you use a lot of water? I have noticed that you are able to move yours paint quickly and have a good amount of run-off, is your paint quite runny, and if so do you find that it leaves the canvas marks when dry. Also, when the paint moves back toward the middle (making those amazing wispy cells) does the paint crack when dry, do to a thicker amount collecting in the middle? I really enjoy seeing your videos, because you tend to use large canvas, which I think give a bigger wow factor to the finished results!! Can I ask where you get your canvas, as I find them so expensive, I have yet to practice on a large one :/ Thanks for sharing your videos!
totally awesome! keep it up😊
Very nice.... !! ---Dave...
ugh! I love all your stuff. do you think the liquitex pm, helps create the cells?
Gorgeous!!! Those cells though....any tips? Did you add lubricant to the white? It just looks so beautiful! Thanks for the inspo!
Thank you! My only tip is practice and more practice :) No I didn't add anything weird to any paint
So so so beautiful, how the cells comes without floetrol?
bushbosh thank you! I'm sorry I don't understand your question. What does floetrol have to do with cells?
I am in love with this one!!!!
This is beautiful! The white you're referring to must contain satin enamel?
I just love this painting.... do you use silicone at all in your colors? I think I need to lay off mine for a while and just let the paint do what it's going to do like you do. Beautiful!!
Dawn Lueders I've never used silicone and thank you so much!!
Hi. Beautiful picture. How did you get cells without silicone? Thanks
dale jones thank you. I'm not sure I understand your question, silicone is not needed for cells.
Hello from FranceI just love your vidéo and of course your painting.I am trying very hard to do something resembling your technique but it is never this goodWould you know how I can buy Artist Loft black and white from europe since Mickaels does not send its products anywhere else than america ?Thanks for all
frederique potot unfortunately Artist Loft is only sold in Canada and the U.S.A. sorry about that
Please tell me what’s in you white. I only use Liquitex pouring medium and titanium white. Same brand...
Mely do you ever have issues with paint cracking? How do you deal with that or prevent it?
I've watched so many of yours in a row now...did you spray silicone on one after you let it rest for about 45 minutes?
Cyndee Payton I've never used silicone that was diluted dishsoap
Hi, love your art, how long do you let it dry before spray varnish.x
xpertgamer lewis when it's dry to touch, I wait a few days maybe 4-5 before varnishing
🤩
Mely, let me first say... I so love an enjoy watching you create these awesome paintings.. I have experimented with a few styles like yours and they never seem to work for me... I am not sure if you accept color suggestions but here it goes... Being a Native American the colors of a medicine wheel are often used in our traditional art and so forth. I have tried a few times with these colors and never seem to get them to work . So with that I would love to see what you would create with white, red, yellow and black. Just a thought...
April Ledford the thing about those colors is if you don't prepare your paint really well and choose the right brands there is a chance they will mix. Red and white will make pink, yellow and red will make orange. It's a great idea and I might just try it out ;) thanks!
Parece una vejiga gigante!
The big section looks like a fetus area. Beautiful 😍
Hi I love your work! This looks so amazing.
Quick question how do you make cells? Do you add silicon oil?
Firas Hamdi thanks! Its the process altogether. No I don't add silicone.
Cool experiment and awesome looking painting. I have question, did you add silicon oil at any point? Reason is because at the end the painting was looking dry and dull than the time you were pouring.
Jaimin Patel I'm not sure I understand what silicone oil has to do with dullness but then again I've never used it. It dries matte because that's how these acrylic paints dry. Have you done any pours?
Thanks for reply. No I am totally new. I was just wondering once pour dries it becomes duller than when it was wet, so to make it shine some silicon oil is used with color or at the end as polish.
Jaimin Patel people who use silicone oil use it to create cells. It must be washed off afterwards before adding a varnish or resin coating.
I think I am more clear now with all the liquids. Yeah I was looking for varnishing to add shine to the painting. Thanks MelyD
I enjoy your painting and just started doing my own fluid pour projects. Question please - should the canvas texture be showing thru on the sides and corners? It’s covered well in paint, but in some areas I can see the pattern of the canvas. Is there a way to keep that from happening? Thanks!!!
Yes once dried, It's perfectly normal that you see the texture of the canvas through. It's part of the reason I use it, so it looks like an art piece. If you don't like it, you can pour on glass or wood maybe?
MelyD.artist thank you! 😎
What makes you white go like that? Is it white enamel?
Coucou quel type de peinture utilises-tu?
This is absolutely gorgeous! Love all the effects that went on in the time lapse!!! Wonderful video except for the stupid buffering...so it was hard to understand you at times 😑
