Poured Acrylic Painting GALAXY POUR TUTORIAL by Maigan Lynn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- I find I get asked these questions A LOT - "How do you mix your pouring medium?", "How do you mix your paints?", "How do you consistently do a galaxy pour??" So I thought I would do a series of tutorials to help answer some of these questions. Please keep in mind that these are just my own personal methods of doing things - it's not written in stone and if it doesn't work for you then thats totally ok - there are hundreds of different pouring tutorial videos out there and hundreds of different artists who do it differently than I do.
The first tutorials I did were "How to mix your glue pouring medium" and "How to mix your paints", which you can find already posted to my channel. This weeks tutorial is "How to do a Galaxy Pour". Again, this is just my own personal method of creating a galaxy pour. There are many other methods out there that may suit you but you can always use this as a general base. For my galaxy pours you'll notice that I always start with black. This is probably the most important aspect of the entire process. Because if you don't start with black then it's not likely you'll be able to call it a galaxy pour. I also use a smidge of white at least somewhere in my mix because I find when it pops up it helps create a starry night feeling.
If you have suggestions of other tutorials you'd like me to do please leave me a comment. And don't forget to subscribe so you can be notified when my tutorials pop up!
Just a heads up that my crew and I will be taking a little break over the Holidays. We'll be back at it with more video's for you on January 4th!
I'll be adding new videos every Monday and Thursday so don't forget to give me a Like, SUBSCRIBE, and leave a comment to let me know what you think! Feel free to ask any questions as well!

Maigan, my husband and I have run The Hugs Poject for the past 13 years. We send care packages to those who remain in harm’s way. Please contact me if you know someone who could use some support from home from people who care.
Thank you doing the difficult job of being a military spouse. We appreciate you both.
One of my favorite things about this method of painting is that the options are endless! There is no right or wrong, and if you can dream it up, you can try it! Thanks for making this tutorial series! I have watched all 3 videos and am excited to try this method of painting!!! (I'm starting today!) I like that I can take bits of technique from different people and incorporate them into what I'm experimenting with. For me, the most helpful part of this series (aside from instructions), is that you always explain your reasons why you do or don't do it a certain way. Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks for taking the time to explain (education), I have learned more from this video than 20 I've watch. Will continue for follow and learn. Beautiful work !
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial series!! I recently fell in love with poured art and desperately wanted to try it myself. I watched a mountain of other videos and went out and got a few supplies and tried some simple pours. Fail...fail...fail !!!!! I wasn’t sure if maybe I just didn’t have a knack for it. Your videos were filled with great tips and very descriptive. I love that you took your time with each section. So many other videos rush through these things and leave viewers with much less understanding. I was so inspired after watching all three videos that I got out my Glue all and a few colors of paint and actually had my first successful pour !!!!! Yay Me !!You rock !! Thank you so much!
Hey Maigan! I just wanted to thank you for the 3 part series you posted for beginners. You explain the processes so well! I have been watching dozens of acrylic pours but been reluctant to do it. After watching your videos I feel more confident and I can’t wait to start!
I torch alot. I love the little bubble that come out. Watching the reactions makes me happy.
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a great teacher. This is greatly appreciated. God Bless and keep your husband safe. Thank him for his service.
Beautiful ! Thank You for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching! :)
I luv the way u explained this. Easier then most other pouring people do. Thank you very much. From Perth Ontrio Canada
Yay Perth! We used to live in Kingston - not too far from you 🥰 Love that area!
You are a treasure. Thank you for sharing! Your videos are excellent teaching tools.
Thank you for this - mad my day! 🥰
I love this. Enjoyed all three of these. Helped me relax some and just play.
It is stunning , for me it looks like a river flowing through the cliff . It looks very 3D again for me. Well done . Love your work
I like your painting and the colors. I appreciate your telling “why” you do things the way you do and the “why” paints work like they do. I haven’t done an acrylic pour yet so I’m absorbing all the whys and wherefores.
It really helps me to understand how I have made certain mistakes.
This is so we'll detailed. And, I love your illistrations. You are very talented. I want to write a book just to have you illistrate it.
That’s so sweet! Thank you for the lovely compliments! ❤️
First off, thank you for your service. I just came across this type of art work and fell in love. I'm a book / mixed media artist and instantly realized how wonderful pours like this can become books. I love your style and have put you on my (watch everything) list. I love the complexity and beautiful wildness of space. You capture the color shifts and movement wonderfully. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent.
Stunning! How could anyone say this is not art! I absolutely love this!
I have finally found someone who explains things a why things work. The “ how” is important but the “why” is more important in order to teach. I like the simplicity of your technique too. This series as been extremely good for me. Thank you. And thank you for sharing a little of yourself too.
That’s so nice - thank you! I’m so glad you found my videos helpful - that was exactly my hope when I started these because I found that to be the part I was missing while I was learning. I figured it out but it was so frustrating. There’s no need for this to be that difficult for people who love this style of painting and would like to be creative but need the help to do so. Thank you for watching and commenting! ❤️
Im a self taught dirty pour artist too and ive been doing them on my own, kinda just jumping right into it and there were things i didnt understand. I just stumbled on this video and i learned SOOOOO much. Thank you so much for all this education. Needless to say, im going to binge watch your videos and continue to learn.
Your story touched me and i can relate to it as a 22 yr old mom of 2 both under 3 years old. Youre an amazing artist, thank you for the inspiration
That is awesome! That is what I was hoping to achieve with this! Enjoy your pours!
Me tooodoooo!!!!!!
Maigan, your 3 tutorials were AWESOME! They were extremely instructional. Thank you so much, I will be definitely be looking at your other videos!
Awww thank you! I’m so glad! Thanks for watching!
My friend loves the night sky and I am planning on creating a galaxy pour for his birthday. Thanks for the tutorial! These colours are amazing, I will use a similar process!
Thank god for somebody that explains things from start to finish thank you very much . Enjoyed all three videos from start to finish thank so much very refreshing from some of the other videos out there
Thank you so much, Sue! That means a lot and I’m so glad to hear these tutorial are doing exactly what I hoped they would! :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your family's service to this country. I love your pour. I think the Pouring medium method is another great way to create beauty in the artist community. I have notice when teaching others about painting one of the first thing that intimidates them is mixing color this is an easy way to help take away that intimidation. Its also another way to get people to get into painting without the structured lines of a painting because anything goes. I love the painting thanks for teaching and sharing.
Thank you, Debbie! We’re actually in Canada - a lot of people assume when I say we’re a military family that we’re in the U.S. so wanted to clarify. My husband did serve alongside U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan as did many of our friends.
I appreciate you mentioning the intimidation aspect of all of this as a beginner artist. We all start somewhere and the purpose of me doing these tutorials was so ANYONE could start. Art is for everyone!
"Have fun!" Lots of great advice in your three tutorials, but that's the best advice of all!
Every method is a unique experience in individual creativity! This is why every technique is different and the results are awesomely satisfying and beautifully executed! You are an inspiration to many people who love your style and composition to this art abstraction. Perfection is realized when you step back and admire the beauty of the end result.
Galaxy painting is an excellent example of this skill and skill is what you expect in the endgame! Thank you for sharing your talent and dedication and creativity with us! You have done yourself proud and deserve to be celebrated and respected and acknowledged as a talented artist who has made our eyes admire your attention to detail!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks maigan. I really enjoyed your 3 part tutorial.
I shall be deleting all others I've subscribed too. You've made sence of everything to me. I just need to understand colour coordination so as not to create a pile of mud.. Soooo pleased to have gotten back into creating art (my way) which is why I'm sooo happy to have discovered "fluid art".
Has always been the best therapy, alongside music.
SUE...Norfolk UK
Thank you for this video. I am definitely a newbie to fluid art. Actually to any painting at all. COVID isolation got me into youtube videos and I found this. So I have been trying this for a couple of weeks now. I have yet to have a successful pour. I thought it was just me. After reading the comments I realized it isn't just me. You make it seem so easy but it is not easy at all! However your comments to the others made me keep going. So...here's to happy pouring 😊
You really are generous with your time and your amazing tips and process! A big thankyou!!😊
Awesome I never heard of poured painting before it looks fun and satisfying
I am going to join your Facebook group as soon as I finish the series. Your videos are extremely informative and I have learned so much from everything that you’ve been talking about. Extremely disappointed that the second video lost sound about the last third of the video. I could tell by your hand movements that must be explaining something really interesting. I’m 73 years old and I love every type of art and do just about everything from quilting to Chinese watercolors. This is a new passion of mine and I’m really really excited to watch more of your videos to find out more about your process. I’ve watched numerous videos on UA-cam and try to pick up tips and tricks from everyone. You are by far one of the most interesting artists I’ve heard. You explain exactly why you do certain processes. You are the only person I’ve heard that has mentioned not over mixing the silicone and why. Also your explanation on layering the paint by weight made so much sense to me. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos to gather more tidbits of information.
I’m new to painting, I’ve done digital art in the past and enjoyed that but, now I want to learn this. You explained a lot of things that made sense to me. Incredible work! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thank you and thanks for watching!
JUST BEAUTIFUL !! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TIME WORKING ON SUCH BEAUTY !
I watched all 3 videos in this series in a row and they were EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you so much for doing these videos for us to learn and understand the techniques and some of the reasons why you do it. I'm more excited than ever to try this tomorrow. Definitely the best explanation of each step play by play. LOVED THIS!
I’m so glad! And thank you so much for watching! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you so much for these 3 videos!!!!!!! I have watched so many because I'm new to this but the way you explain everything and show everything was so easy for me to understand again thank you so much I will be trying it this weekend :)
That’s wonderful! I hope the videos helped with your paintings! 🙂 Thank you for watching!
I really like you. You are kinda like me in the sense of using all types of paints. Thank you for your instructions too, I need them. I’m new to this and watching these videos help me tremendously. 😃
Subbed! Pour painting is absolutely art! I've been doing it for 2 years now and I feel ya it's a lot of work but a labor of love.
I so appreciate these three tutorials, so much information. I am having trouble getting cells to pop up & have been trying to find info that was concise &!also easy to follow. Thank you so much.
Amazing! I love it. I never done this before, but I am going to try it, after I watch your previous videos again and again.
Absolutely beautiful. This is the first time I found you. I have learned quite a bit already from you.
Hi,
A very clear explanation and visual tutorial. Thanks! I'm a traditional artist of over (cough! cough!) 40 years experience. I started at age 5, with what I have always said, was my best Christmas presents EVER! A metal paint box with 12 colours, brushes, paper, and a huge box of Crayola coloured pencils! I started to Art that Christmas, and I've never stopped..
With art you never stop learning, there is always something new to see and experience.
I've sold pieces throughout my life. It never stops surprising me that a person is willing to buy my Art. I always feel humbled by the transaction. My paintings and illustrations are all over the world. It still, after all this years, tickles me pink to sell, or give a piece into anothers hands.
Though I'm a wild life artist, I paint and sculpt anything, and especially love fantasy.
I have done the occasional pour. I find them both fascinating and frustrating at the same time lol!!. 🤔I'm generally used to controlling what the general outcome will be (there have been exceptions over the years Lol! 😭😕🤣) when I put my medium of choice to paper or canvas. Pours are the opposite. You never know what you will get! I think that is the magic. Each pour is a journey, not knowing where you will end up till the end of the line!. Lol. 😄
Both my daughters both art, my eldest is training as a Midwife, and still paints in her time off. My youngest is a Tattooist, though loves to draw and paint. I did achieve my Art degree along with others, though I'm a retired Duel Trained Nurse, (early retirement due to injury at work) I often used my horse and art rucksack to destress. Both girls do the same..(they have my horses Saxon and Captain, as I can't ride anymore) Art is as old as Mankind, it out dates any spoken language, and like music, can communicate where words can't.
I've nattered on long enough. I really enjoyed your pour, and subbed to see more.. Thanks😁
Bevanna kittykattqueen Thanks so much for sharing...the editing team loved your story. 🤗❤💜💟❣💚💙💜🖤
Thank you for stopping in to post this! I think most artists I know started when they were small and just never stopped. There was an exact point for me when I started to sell my work and take it more seriously and I remember it well because I was otherwise in a pretty dark place.
I love the unknown of the pours but I can see, as an illustrative artist, how they could be frustrating. But what I like about the pours is having to relinquish some of the control. I enjoy the surprise :)
Absolutely loved what you said, Bevanna Magical raggybear!! Thanks for sharing your story with us!! It was a wonderful read!!!!!!!!!!😇❤
I understand. (cough!cough!) over 70+ yeas here. Sold my first work at 5 years old for 15 cents and promptly spend it on more crayons. I've been using this technique for over 30 years...just called it mixed media. Love it!.
I just want to say thank you so much, I have watch many of these videos. I recently have been through a hard spot in my life and the way you explained the need to create at the end of the video is exactly how I have been feeling. ALSO YOU are an amazing teacher, explaining everything just right pace and knowledge..
Aww this is lovely to hear, thank you! Sorry you’ve been going through a tough spot. The need to create has gotten me through a lot o my those - hopefully it’ll see you through too! ❤️
That is beautiful. I like the business of your work too, especially for these galaxy style paintings. I am getting ready to do my first pour. Your tutorial has helped me tremendously because most don't explain the mixing ratios or show it at all so, I really appreciate you making those tutorials! I hope my first turns out well!
This was awesome. What got my attention was the galaxy part as I am a space enthusiast. I will follow you and watch the first and second tutorials as well. Thank you so much. I do something very different involving paint but this has been so helpful. THANKS.
Henry Hamelin that’s awesome! Thank you for the compliment and for watching. My husbands a pilot but did his degree and Masters in both Physics and Space Science - he’s a space guy too :)
I’m glad you found my tutorials useful!
I too love the differentials of pouring,I haven't started yet I'm just ,watching others,jotting down all the different options,it's all trial n errors,but I generally feel with art there are no errors ,it's all experiment,n experience,and it's all art ,thankyou for all the tips ,your work is beautiful ,love from your new face subscriber
Well what I was always told and fully believe is art is anything you create. Doesn't matter if it's a drawing, painting, writing a song, or writing a book either way someone created it for someone else to enjoy which makes it art .
Exactly. And it’s all relative. Some people are so pompous as to assume their opinion as fact, that they have a better grasp on what art actually is because of education or experience etc. That just isn’t so
Maigan Lynn exactly, I have my Associates in graphic design and been doing art pretty much since I was born thanks to my mom but no matter how many times I didn't like what I did so I didn't think it was art she would always remind me that I created it so it was art even if I wasn't happy with it at first.
You have a great mom! I love that she instilled that in you
Your work is great Meagan and your colours Are so great . I like the way you explain in details . Thank you for sharing
Loved your pour! I am a "newbie" learning this method and also others. I have found a passion I really love that keeps me busy for hours. I really appreciate your clear explanations and why you place certain colors where you do in the pouring mix. I too think similarly in that regard when placing colors. Keep on making us and you HAPPY!
Aww so glad to hear this was helpful for you, Deborah! 🙂 Thank you for watching and good luck with your pours!
I love those colors. The pink really stands out on the canvas.
Thank you, I appreciate that you explain the "whys" of what you are doing.
Thank you for getting into a little of the "science" behind paints and techniques. Your work is not only beautiful but a great learning experience.
I’m glad you found it helpful - thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment 🙂
I'm so grateful that you provided a recipe without floetrol. Your Painting came out beautifully and I'm so excited to try this
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I find a lot of other pouring mediums to be really expensive - even more so now that poured painting has taken off. So not only is my own pouring medium my personal favorite but it’s also the most cost effective.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you Maigan - I have M.S so this is a great way to create art even though my hands tremble a lot. I would love to teach this method to so many friends like myself. thanks again!!
I've had a few people comment about poured painting who have some mobility issues with their hands and they've all said the same - they love it because they can still be creative, be themselves! I hope you and your friends find much joy in this! :) Thank you for watching!
Wow you unknowingly just explained something I’ve wondered for a long time .... the black goes through the colors and catches the silicone causing cells ,,, thank you!
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing. I am very, very new to this. I love playing with colours. More often than not I feel that I pair colours that won't look good together and will create mud. My colour wheel helps, but there is sooooooo much to learn and practice, practice, practice. Thanks again.
Thank you so much. You are very good at teaching. I have tried galaxy pours so many times and I always end up making a mess on the canvas. I'm going to try your way. Beautifully done.
I thoroughly enjoyed all thee tutorials: they were so informative that I took notes. The finished painting was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching Lynne! I hope they prove useful for you! 🙂
I LOVE the bubbles too! Everyone seems so against bubbles. I think it's awesome! It gives a more organic look to me. :)
I like paintings with lots to look at, even in my illustrative works, so the bubbles just add, in my opinion 🙂
Your paintings are absolutely amazing . you have inspired me to try pouring . it will be my very first n im excited . thankyou for your patience n doing these for beginners like myself it truly has given me the jumpstart like u mentioned that i too needed to create n try this . im generally a artist mostly w pencils n drawings but this has captured something inside me watching you n your abilities . thankyou soooi much .
Wonderful videos.i was so confused so far but after seeing these 3 videos I have a clear idea of how to go about it.Thank you sooo much. I only hope I'll be able to do it half as well as you have done.
Great job on showing how to paint. Especially the tips! Thank you
Maigan, This was the best tutorial I have watched about pouring. Thanks so much!! I am an artist looking for something a bit different to add to my work. Again thanks!
I am so glad you found this helpful! The pours are completely addictive! lol Have fun! :)
I just found your channel and I already feel like I'm learning a ton and I enjoy your personality. Subscribed!
Aww this is such a nice comment - thank you! :)
Thank you, Maigan. I really loved this video. I appreciate you taking the time to explain how the heavier paints react with the others. Beautiful work!
Thank you so much, Michele! 🙂
Thank you for all this good information, very beautiful work, superb effect and the colors are beautiful.
I like how thoroughly you are explaining things. And I do agree with you about air bubbles; if you work *with* them, they are your friends, not your enemies.
Thank you Kerr! Yes! The air bubbles, like all bubbles, are MAGIC! :)
awesome artwork! it is art. and the reason why is because each person can choose any colors they want, and pour them into the cup in any order they want and when they move the paint on the canvas, you can do any shape that you want. one person may tilt the paint this way and another person will tilt the paint that way. there's no right or wrong way to tilt the paint. do it however you want.
also, i like her style of teaching because she doesn't tell people you have to do it this way or that way. she doesn't impose her creative style on anyone and tell people they have to do it her way. i also like that she doesn't talk about things that are totally unrelated to the art.
I like your tutorialzzzz cause it shows loyalty and honesty 🌸🌷 thank you
Thank you so much for these tutorials they are extremely beneficial for paint pouring. I have used the white school glue and yes the paint does crack which is very disappointing and very wasteful because it ruins my paintings. Now I know what to use thanks to you and I’ll be giving that a try. And by the way you’re painting is amazing I just love it have a lovely day.
Thank you Charlene! Hopefully your next paintings turn out the way you want! Thank you for watching! 🙂
Absolutely beautiful. I'll be trying this. Love the choice of colours.
Thank you so much! Let me know how it goes! 🙂
I watched all three of your videos and they were very informative.
I've been pouring only for maybe a month and my pours look like land mass pictures from space.
I'm pretty proud of how they're turning out but I like the big cells and I've been stretching my cells out to nothing. Next one will be like yours not tilting it too much and keeping my cells intact.
Your videos are awesome and I would love to see more.
Thanku so very much. I've just watched the 3 videos u made all about the process. Very cool and thorough 3 stage tutorial. Really appreciated all your hard work and tips. Thanku again
Kaz from Oz xx
Awesome ! I'm just beginning doing paint pours, hope they turn out like yours, I would be so thrilled.!!!!!!
Very enjoyable and informative video. Learned a lot from you. Thank you for taking time to pass on your ideas and methods.
Just found you on my new favorite crafty thing. Your videos are amazing! I have seen others but I get confused on all the dynamics of paint pouring. Your videos are spot on for a newbie!! So easy to follow and you explain everything very well! I a. Like you and live the cells that come out! I am so excited to get started, and now I know everything I need and lots of easy tips!!! Thank you sweetie!!
I really like how you explain everything. My daughter & my daughter in law & myself are going to try this for the first time when they visit the sec week of Aug. we have been watching all your videos. TY. We will let you know how we do.
I hope it went well!! Thank you to all of you for watching!
Wow your explanation is wonderful, I appreciate that a lot ,thank you, I will be tuning in more often 👍🏼
I’m glad it was helpful! I’m hoping to get back to making videos again soon! Right now, the space I’m using to work is an ocean of boxes since we moved but I’m trying to dig out 😂
Thanks for watching!
Maigen, I love your colors and freedom of your pours. They are truly interesting and very inspiring. I love hearing your story. I realize this is a few years old, and I am fascinated with your work. Blessings, Liz 👩🎨🎨💖🦓🍀👍🙏🇺🇸
Hi Liz! Sorry I’m so late in getting back to your comment. The last couple of months I’ve been really busy homeschooling my son so I’ve been a bit busier. But just wanted to say thank you for visiting my channel and for your lovely comment! 🥰
Thanks for explaining all of this. I'm getting ready to practice galaxies because I'm planning a mammoth pour on a table. Your explanations are helping me figure out how I'm going to do it. It helps that your color palette is similar to mine 😀
Great ideas and well done on 3 tutorials that is clear and easy to understand
This was exactly what I wanted to know about. Knowing what is happening with the paints is an important part of knowing what went wrong on my first few attempts and why I wasn't pleased with them. Thanks for sharing your experience with me.
I’m so glad I could help! I went through the same thing you did in the beginning and it baffled me that I couldn’t find anyone to say WHY I needed certain products, how they would react etc.
Thank you for watching!
I love your tecnique. I'm just starting out and I'm going to start with a dollar store budget. Thanks
Beautiful! Watched all three videos
That is just beautiful. Yes it is art! Because of shaking hands I can no longer do fine work so pouring as been a great outlet. Am going to try a galaxy pour next. Thank you.
I love that, despite a difficulty, you’re still finding ways to be creative! Good for you! ❤️
I feel the same way...it’s been a slow moving process for me too. I’ve always sketch and drawn and messed with art since I was in high school but I never really painted til 2012 then I got married in 2013 and having two step daughters and a husband, there was no time to paint in the beginning. But started painting a couple years ago and half of them I never finished and then I found pour painting last year and it has inspired me so much. I love to play in the paint. I love that you have completed something. Because I have a hard time finishing my more detailed paintings 🤪 I’m always thinking about the next steps or I’m afraid I’m going to mess it up. But Pour painting....you can’t really mess up...it’s so much fun. I love the surprise after you lift the cup up... you never know what you’re going to get. And once it’s dry it’s done. And I don’t have to think so much about it. It’s wonderful!
Yes! You feel me! lol! Over the years I've learned when to be done with my illustration work but it was tough. With the pours it's much easier because I stop shifting when it 'feels' right.
Hopefully within this next year I'll have a little more time for work as the dynamic, once again, will be shifting lol....oh the military life! lol!
Thank you for your lovely comment Holly! :)
I followed your process and it totally worked for me! I'm so excited and trilled to get to make my own galaxies. Thank you so much for all the detail and for being you
You are so good covering all the information needed to have fun painting . We are a group of ladies that get together to paint , to have a coffee and lots of laugh , we are not artist but we are so happy creating these flows , just like magic , I just say to my fiends , "have fun , you can't get it wrong " thank you
That is amazing! So happy to hear this - good for you gals! :) That's how art should be! I'm actually going to have a few of my own friends over soon to teach them how to do this too! It should be a blast! :)
Maigan Lynn thank you, it is great fun painting with friends , our next day it was going to be the 11th , after watching some of your videos and sharing with them ,we can't wait and we will meet this Thursday's. I think this is addictive. Your video it has been so helpful because we can't get lots of things here in Qatar because the blockade so to learn that we can get amazing cells with mod podge and glue is a really great news. So we will try . Thank you
I HAVE THROUGHLLY ENJOYED ALL THREE OF THESE VIDEO AND NOT SEEN YOUR WORK BEFORE. I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING CLEARLY AND EXACTLY TO THE POINT. I HAVE LOVED ALL THE INPUT ON USE AND KNOWLEDGE ON POURING. I KNOW I WILL BENEFIT FORM YOUR HELP IN THESE PROGRAMS. THIS IS DANI FROM AUSTRALIA. LOOK FORWARD TO MORE TIPS THANK YOU.
I have watched several of these paint pours videos today so I can try to get started and play with this! You are by far the best teacher, you have done such a great job explaining what you are doing and why your doing it! The painting turned out great and I can’t wait to try this!
That means a lot - thank you! When I started making these tutorials my goal was to teach all the things I felt were missing when I was trying to learn. So i'm chatty and I ramble but I'm trying to be as thorough as possible. I'm glad you found this useful! :)
Maigan Lynn you are greatly appreciated!
THANK YOUUUUUUUU, Maigan! Thank you for doing these tutorial videos and taking time to share your knowledge, wisdom, techniques, & tips for others who might like to venture into this enticing arena of paint pouring, like myself, and for those who are enamored with it and simply wonder "How'd she do that?!" I appreciate this so much! Thank you for being so personable and also letting us know who YOU are and your background. It makes this, and your work & videos, even more approachable & likeable. 😊
I first accidentally stumbled upon this magical world of flow acrylics a year ago--I was decorating my roommate's xmas tree (his insistance, so I didnt have to look at his usual huge, gawdy 70s style red-green-white theme *gags* for a month) & I couldn't find ornaments in the right shade of blue to match older stuff he had (I did a dark blue-silver-gold-white color scheme...it was stunning when I finally finished! Lol), so I decided I'd get clear globes at Michaels & decorate them with glitter or whatever else I found. The cashier recommended using Mod Podge for glitter application, so I went online to find tutorials on how to use it/what to do before I started making a mess/disaster. After watching a few Mod Podging vids & ornament decorating vids, well, first of all, I wanted to Mod Podge ALL the things everywhere (thank gahd I didn't go bananas with that, though!), and then I started getting acrylic fluid painting videos pop up in my YT feed, & once I clicked to watch 1 out of curiosity, my WHOLE feed was nothing but pouring videos! Evil YT! Bah haha! 😂 I've watched hundreds of them since then!
I finally started gathering supplies in the last few weeks, was going to start with craft paints from wack-mart & the acrylics I found at Dollar Tree, but when I tested a few to see how they performed/dried & what they looked like (with simple brush application on plastic & tile), I was very disappointed. They were mostly mattes, so I watched tutorials on pouring mediums & mixed up a little glue, water, & glycerine for my inexpensive "Floetrol." Still disappointed😔--the mattes are still very matte, & 2 of them fell apart, the color changed dramatically & they looked almost transparent (apparently poorly pigmented as I did a 1-1 ratio of PM to paint as a starting point!), and the Rich Art black ($ Tree) I tested is really gritty/grainy. 😕
However...I had to go to Hobby Lobby for the glycerine Mon & saw their store brand of paints & supplies are 50% off this week. After seeing several reviews raving about them, I picked up a couple last night to trial. Oh.Em.Gee. 😯 What What a HUGE difference! And they finish very glossy, as well as standing up to the homemade PM! I know these would be considered student grade, not artist quality, but I don't care, I'm LOVING these! (You said you use any acrylics you can find that you like, & a lot of other pouring artists do as well, so I'll let the snobs be snobs while we have lots of fun playing & creating really rad sh*t! 😆) I'm headed back this afternoon to stock up a bit. So excited to FINALLY start! And I love the galaxy pour method! Thanks for the in-depth tutorial. Looking forward to trying it, & just playing with paints in general. 😉
I love it so much I took a sabbatical also for along time and just recently started back I’m self trained but ty for helping with your video I’m new at this but I’m so excited I started last night painting I painted 4 9x12 boards 3 coasters and one 12x12 I had so much fun it so mysterious every painting I love it❤️🧡💚💜💛💙🖤🤎🤍💖
Like the ad too. Lady painting kitchen cab door!!!! Want more of her
Thanks for your 3 very helpful videos-trying my 1st galaxy pour today! And I like what you said about "feeling" the paint vs being super precise measuring everything since thats how I've mixed haircolor for most of the past 20+yrs I've been a Hairstylist for lol!😊
That was really informative. Thank you for your time and expertise. ❤️
I've just found your videos and will watch them all. My paintings are all about colour and I find pouring very exciting. Your explanations are great and easy to watch and listen.
I’m so glad you found this helpful! I’m all about colour as well - generally the brighter the better! :) Thanks for stopping by!
I all of a sudden got an interest in and started painting around fathers day. I Stumbled on this video looking for info. You are awesome! Thank you for taking time to make these videos. Super helpful and informative. I'm doing brush work now, but this looks like something I would really be interested in! I'm going to try my first one this weekend!
This is excellent to hear! The possibilities are ENDLESS! Good luck with your first pour! And thank you for watching!
Yeah I'm going to try to video it and I will post it and let you see...maybe lol. Thanks again!
I'm fairly new at Pour painting, and am so happy I found your 3 part video. I learned more watching these 3 videos than I have watching the dozens of others. I'm recently retired so I'm happy to find this recommended pouring medium, as the others can be fairly costly. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Maigan!
Oh this makes me so happy! I’m glad you found them so useful! I went through tons of videos when I first started as well and always felt a thorough explanation and understanding was missing. I really had to figure some things out on my own. So I did these videos with that in mind. I knew firsthand how confusing the sea of tutorials were so I tried to minimize that. I’m so glad you found them so helpful! Thank you for watching!
I enjoy your tutorials especially since I’m new to the technique and your style of teaching fits my learning style. I’ve been creating artisan jewelry for about 5years. I love it, but I’m finding that my hands aren’t as steady as they need to be anymore. Pour painting appeals to my “yesterday isn’t soon enough attitude”. Having fun. Thanks.
I wanted to say thanks for your videos and all the you tube videos i've seen said the same things you've said. So far i haven't heard anyone say their method is the only way, which is why I can hardly wait to get started. I hope that i will get the same joy from acrylics that you guys do, I enjoy watching all of your creations.
A lot of the tutorials, the artist won’t say that their way is the only way but I’ve run into that attitude in a few groups. It always shocks me. I think with the upswing in popularity of the poured paintings it makes it harder to carve out your own niche and some have a bit more difficult time handling that.
I’m so glad you’re going to try this out - it’s so much fun and highly addictive lol!
Love your "Galaxy" pour and your whole approach!
Thank you so much! 😊
I love your detailed description of what happens when the cup is flippex
Thank you! 😊
You have explained it really well. Thanks!
