    On behalf of all the newbies out there, Thank you! I tried to figure this out for over a year. Not just the mixing, but the medium. I was so confused I ended up using a mixture of everything and that was disaster. I upped the quality of paint, cut out everything but the floetrol and a little H2O and now I’m doing better, not great, but better.

    Thank you so much for talking about consistency of paints and demonstrating the difference between brands. This is been a problem that I’ve had in the past and now I understand why the brand of paint is just as important as what you mix with it. I didn’t get it for a while. You are really a thorough teacher .

    Thanks for sharing this! I was going to ask you what your feelings were on pre-mixing your paints and you answered it here! I use 8 oz condiment bottles to store my prepared paints and so far, I love it. I mean... stirring paint is relaxing, maybe... but when I have a little bit of time to create, I don’t want to spend it mixing my paint.... I want to spend it POURING my paint. Thanks for being so willing to share your time, your talents and your experience. Blessings on you!

    Beautiful flip cup with such beautiful colours! Most of the artists that I am subscribed to are from the USA and as I'm from Australia, I was wondering if there is a difference in consistency between American and Australian Floetrol or if it's pretty much the same? 🤷‍♀️ It's only been in the last 8mths that I learned there was a difference at all. Thanks for not getting too much into the maths, as maths has always hurt my head 😄 Loved seeing the Masse guys special for you today! Stay well and happy Marcy. 😃💜🐨🥰🤗🙋‍♀️

  • @domorethatmeansmore

    Thanks for the easy explanation. When you mix in bottles to store, do you mix right in the bottle or in a cup then pour into the bottle? I want to prepare them and let them sit. Thank you!

  • @vikkiallan5605

    Just watched this. I've tried different mediums, some not too successful. I'll have to get floetrol. Also, I've visited your site on the internet and would like to know if you post to Australia. I love the pre mixed colours you have. At the moment I'm on a strict budget as we just spent over 8 grand in vet bills but hopefully soon things will ease a bit

    For the back of your canvas, do you tape it off, or do you paint the back if paint gets on the back? This is a question I have been stumbling over during my pours. Thanks for sharing this and your response when you have the time.

      @lesliegirard3982 4 роки тому

      I always tape my canvases. It really pays off to have a nice clean look on the back. Also, it helps when drips accumulate such as paint, varnish, or resin because when you remove the tape, you also remove all of that junky stuff.

    Hi! One thing I think I’m having trouble with is I can get paints to flow off the stick that look about the same consistency but when you watch it in the cup it can either create a little mound or completely disappear right back into the cup. I’m definitely having trouble getting my paintings to come out right and I’m wondering if this could be a factor as to which of those two you more want , even though they both look the same coming off the stick. Might anyone shed some light with their experience please?!

    • @MixedMediaGirl
      @MixedMediaGirl  4 роки тому

      I'm not sure how to answer that unfortunately. I've never really paid attention to that. What trouble are you having with your pours that you think it might be a consistency issue? Maybe I can help with that :)
      In other news... "yeah there was a cornflake girl...." lol

    • @ArtisticallyRandom
      @ArtisticallyRandom 4 роки тому +1

      For me, I like the consistency to be a blop/mound that goes flat before I count to 2 (aprox 1 second) much longer than that and it's too think and prone to crazing. If it doesn't mound ta all it is prone to getting muddy... hope that helps as well...
