Giant poured painting art tutorial DIY by Maigan Lynn

- 1) YES there IS a lot of talking - it's a tutorial. I'm talking to teach you my process. I'm also chatty. So there's that.
2)YES it IS long lol! It's a giant painting....it took a minute (or 45) to do!
3)Hopefully this inspires you to try a giant painting of your own! :)
*To see this painting dried and hanging you can visit the home page of my website www.maiganlynnart.com *
We're getting ready to move, the house is up for sale, and we've started with the showings this week. And when people walk into my house to see it in all it's glory, this is the painting that greets them! I needed a statement piece for our tall entranceway. So I decided to kill two birds with one stone and turn it into a tutorial of sorts. Again, this is just my personal process. And yes.....that canvas was heavy and I'm glad I had been working out previously! lol!
For this piece I used my Elmer’s glue-all mix pouring medium, 100% silicone oil in all colours except blacka and white, water, acrylic paint, torch, on an 24x48" canvas.
You can see how I make my pouring medium here in this tutorial: • Poured Acrylic paintin...

You can see how I create a Galaxy pour here: • Poured Acrylic Paintin...

For all the people who have asked, you can now see the finished piece on the home page of my website! www.maiganlynnart.com
That doesn’t work for me.
I've been searching for a good teacher of abstract painting and I finally find you. Thank you so much. I' ve learnt a lot from you.
Maigan, your painting came out absolutely beautiful! ThankYou for showing us how to do a large painting!😊😊😊👍Linda
Thank you so much :)
I'm a chatty Kathy and honestly, I enjoy watching a painting video where the artist is talking to you it makes me feel like I'm apart of the process so thank you, I appreciate it. Lovely painting and good luck with your house, great video.
Your a good teacher and you have a pleasant voice. You have a new subscriber right here. I love this painting! I see a dragon! Does anyone else see this awesome dragon?
I also love your colors! They're different and I love different!💜💛💚❤💗💙🖤
I do see the dragon head at the middle ^_^
Thank you. You are one of the best. You explain with simplicity with the major information.
I love love love this. Fantastic. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Would love to see how it looks hanging on the wall!
Derek Toms I’ve added a picture of it to the home page of my website! www.maiganlynnart.com
Why can’t people just leave a comment without thinking they have to critic every detail? I usually don’t say anything however after reading comment after comment about the music being distracting or the video was to long, its totally annoying and very rude. Remember this video wasn’t made specifically for you but for all of us. She cannot possibly make us all happy so that’s why we have options to fit each need ie: fast forward or volume down button.
Thank you for this! I actually try to be polite in responding to everyone but it wears you down a bit. I mean, some of the comments are helpful so I know how to better my videos but some of it IS really rude, like they forget I’m a real person and not purposely out to annoy or upset anyone. I’m here to teach and encourage. I can’t possibly please everyone.
Maigan Lynn I understand completely and most of us do unfortunately some seem to forget there's a real person reading these comments with real feelings. You explained what type of video this would be before you even started, that's all you can do. I guess with so many people on the internet its inevitable. Try not to let it bother you there's a few in every crowd🧐 lol. You keep doing you, and save your energy for this beautiful art and people who support it.
If amateur videos are too annoying to watch she will lose viewers. Feedback is imperative to improve
Agreed, however, there’s absolutely zero need to be rude when commenting - human beings have this incredible ability to choose HOW they portray thoughts and opinions which means the need to be rude when doing so is completely unnecessary.
i was raised that if i don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. for whatever reason people watching youtube forget that its youtube. they get to watch for free. no cost to them. i completely agree with you. i don't understand why people are telling others how to do their videos. if they really have a problem with it, they can do their own videos.
Loving these colors and the composition
Wow!,that's gorgeous...Love.
Thank you Thank you Thank you for scraping the cups!!!! lol..... and for all the teaching and skill you are sharing! Blessings from Australia! 2021
I will try that brand of red you recommended! Thank you for all your tips! This gives me thecourage to try the big canvas again too lol.
Stunning awesomeness well explained tutorial!! Be as you are!! You can never pleases everyone. Thanks for your time!!
Beautiful pour. Can’t wait to see how it dries! Best of Wishes to You on Your house moving!!!💕💕💕💕
Thank you Jeannie! I wish they would let me upload pictures here to show you! It's hanging in my front entrance. We now have an accepted offer - it should be finalized tomorrow afternoon! Fingers crossed! :)
Yeah! Congratulations on the Sale of Your House Maigan! I hope the move goes Smoothly & Safely!
Will continue to look for Your Videos once Younger settled 🤗 💕💕💕💕
Well, I am a noob and I definitely appreciate the time and detail you gave in the 26 minutes of mixing. I love your videos so much and learn so much each time I watch them. Thank you for taking your time to be so helpful! ♥
Thanks for posting. Easy to understand and follow tutorial. Very Pretty Piece👍
Wow the reds are sowing is looking beautiful
This is incredible!!! This whole process has me completely mesmerized.
Love this. You made it so simple for me. I'm learning so I can do a pour on a large canvas. Thank you
Learning something like this should never be made difficult - I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 🙂
Beautiful! You have inspired me to try this. Thanks, I’ll be watching all your tutorials!
Yay! That's exciting! Good luck with your pours! :) And thank you for watching!
Final take. I love it , is gorgeous. The reds came out beautifully. Thank you for your instructions for a giants painting 🙏
That was so fun to see such a large painting poured. I enjoyed watching, I learend a few new tips. I am fairly new to this art form.
Thank you for taking the time to share your beautiful inspiration and creativity with us. I pray your military life is good. We were 20 years Navy. Blessings Always, Liz 👩🎨🎨💖🦓🍀🙏🇺🇸👍
Thank you Liz! ☺️ Our military life so far has been such a while ride. Between my husbands tours and then switching from Army to Air Force and now flying the planes it’s been consistently inconsistent lol! I have no idea how we’re ever going to adjust to any kind of retirement after all of this lol!
Well done on your 20 years! I have friends with Navy spouses and i know it’s not easy either. They always seem to be gone on months long missions out at sea for training or otherwise. It’s an interesting life but definitely not an easy one.
Beautiful painting and great tutorial. I'm going to watch your others now!
Thank you Pam! I hope you've enjoyed them! :)
this is breathtaking!!!
Lovely work thank you for taking the time to explain everything you do for us beginners 😘🌹
I love it, the colors are fabulous!!!
Maigan, this is something I plan in the near future. After watching & listening to you, I want to do it even more. Thank you for such a great tutorial!
Exciting!! Good for you! It really is a blast!
I love this piece. I have wanted to see some large scale pours. I’m in the middle of a move but in the future I will come back to this video to help me create one of my own.
I'm new here but I'm glad I found your channel
Absolutely stunning!
Thanks Cathy! :)
I've been watching these kinds of tutorials for over a year.. and have yet to produce anything I was really proud of...I much prefer the taking and explaining I didn't hear any music I was listening to the explanation...….. Thank you!
The mixing of the paints is so relaxing.. that is my ZEN time
I totally agree! Sometimes in the evening, when I am tired and not in the right mind to do a painting, I will just mix paints. I love it!
Wow. That is stunning. I love the colors. The biggest painting I’ve ever done is 16”x20” but I’m anxious to do a bigger one, Thank you for an excellent demo. ❤️❤️
Thanks Maigan! Enjoyed watching your video. Very informative.
Thank you for watching! :)
Just what I was looking for. Brilliant ❤️🇬🇧
PERFECT! I wondered how a huge one was done. I have never created a Pour Paint Art project before, haven't painted anything AT ALL before. Painting things has always intimidated me and I had to face the facts that I suck at being a Bob Ross making HAPPY TREES. LOL Anyway, I've been addicted to watching you people that do this type of art for six months and I have found that deep in me I can feel this type of art calling me! That's never happened. So, as with everything in my life, when I decide to go in to something, I GO IN BIG. I have one blank wall left in my bedroom and I want to do a 40X40 Inch painting using this style. I haven't seen anyone do anything bigger than a 11X12 Inch...so, this was very informative. I'm so excited, I can't wait!
Loved the colors and the big canvas
It’s very pretty! Beautiful! I love the color combinations!
This painting is beyond awesome!!!!
Thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful. Thank you for making this video. My main take away is I must use more paint!
This is incredible!! Thank You!! 🙃💛❤💙🧡💗💜💚
Thanks so much for your tutorials! I discovered this via Jenna Marbles’ video..
My partner and I did our first paintings today, they are very ugly but we had fun and are looking forward to learning and creating!
You’re a good teacher.. this giant one is amazing and I can’t wait to try my hand at it.
Very cool! Interestingly enough, I am also getting my house ready for sale and having fun staging it with some original art. Good luck with your home sale! Beautiful painting and very helpful tutorial too. I would love to see it finished and hanging!
I literally learned SO MUCH from you! Thank you!! I never watch a video fully through but yours I was absolutely captivated with! You're funny, informative, to the point, all while being thorough somehow. Thank YOU girl, you are awesome and your art is beautiful. Thank you for inspiring me and for all the SUPER helpful info. Keep on keepin on! And to the ANNOYING/attention seeking people who are literally here only commenting on the sound and music (and back handed-ly with a smiley face after)... are you joking? Turn on closed captions if you don't like the music. Too loud? ITS 2019, TURN THE VOLUME DOWN! Can't figure out those two options? DON'T WATCH!! Can't wait to watch more of your videos girl... they are beyond what I've seen thus far on youtube.
This is such a nice comment - thank you! I’m glad you found them so helpful!
I am also shocked by some people and their comments lol. Especially when there is a simple solution that doesn’t require me to change everything for their specific needs. I will say, in comparison to what I see out in the rest of the UA-cam world, what I get on my channel isn’t so bad. It could be a whole lot worse. And 97% of the comments are really lovely. I don’t tolerate the negatives but I also don’t dwell on them either, much to the trolls dismay lol!
Thank you again - your comment made my day 🙂
So good your painting Megan I love your huge one. Thank you for sharing all your pre c ious tips and wish you good luck in your new house and hope you can style in very quickly
Thank you so much for watching and for this lovely comment! ❤️
That's great!! I might change the colors a little but would love to try one of these. Thank you!!
Thanks for the education, lol😊. Beautiful!! The amount of paint you explained was very helpful. I wasn't sure of the color combo at first , but it turned out so good. A very dear friend of mine is commissioning me to make a painting for her and these are the perfect color combination she described. Thanks again.
I have been looking for a tutorial on how to do a large rectangular canvas. Your painting is gorgeous! Love the color combos. Thanks for the tips. I hope I have the guts to do that many at once!😬 You rock!
¡Espectacular !! ¡Muy bonito !!
Thank you for the awesome tutorial!
Looks great! I have a canvas that size from a garage sale, seeing how to go about covering it. Love those colors, really nice!
Amy, I use about 1 cup for every 1-2 feet of canvas, depending how much paint is in the cup.
Most interesting and informative. Love the cells on a large painting. Frequently too busy on small painting, Your painting is stunning
When I would tie-dye shirts I would make art out of the drippings onto material underneath what I was working on as an attempt to get what you are doing with the acrylic paint pouring. My brain never made the leap. Beautiful work and I am going to try my hand at it as this looks fun and so organic. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to you showing how you finish the painting and coat it to protect it.
This was great! I'm dying to try this size!
Great job. I’m going to attempt a large pour and this was extremely helpful. I tend to mix not enough and will definitely make sure I have more than enough and maybe keep some small canvases handy in case there’s extra.
Thrilled I found You ! I always have issues getting My Paint to work for Me when I go by what I've heard, Your CORRECT ! Each paint is Different and I get it now to Make My OWN way to Mix until I get the feel that the Paint is Even to the same say, flow off My Stick. I get it NOW, and it's because of You! I just want to thank You......
That is so awesome! I appreciate you letting me know and I’m so glad you found this helpful! ❤️
Love it 😍
Hi Maigan, I just wanted to say that I just stumbled across your videos this morning and I love them! Other tutorials that I've found so far are from other countries (although you are in the States and I am in Canada), your's is the most relevant to me. I found you easy to understand and thorough in your descriptions. Thanks so very much for posting!
I would also like to see a pic of it hanging up on your wall! Hope that the sale of your home and moving went smoothly! That can be such a stressful time, especially with a little one! LOL!
She is Canadian @anita2be
Aww thanks for the comments! As Chris said, I am actually Canadian :) The sale went better than we could have anticipated. The market was tough but everything fell into place for us, luckily! It's been a strange transition and one of our busiest but it's going well. It definitely helps that we've done this a few times! lol!
Thank you for watching!
Very beautiful!
Beautiful! You teach very well
Personally I would like to have seen how it dried and hung on the wall. Totally love your tutorials xx
I wish UA-cam offered the option of including images in either the comments or description - I think they're working on that. Its now hanging over my sofa in our temporary living room! :) If they change their features I'll be sure to update this post! :)
That’s a beautiful piece 😍
Thank you and thanks for watching! 🙂
I love this piece, I know you did it 2yrs. & I just found you!’👏👏so will b watching more💕🧜♀️
Thank you Kathy! I would like to get back to this but time and space in the new place has been an issue. Hopefully soon! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful! ❤️
Thank You! Super video. I learned so much.
Thanks for watching, Jenna! I’m glad it was useful! :)
Amazing art. Awesome. I want to try small one and after that big one. Love it and subscribed.
Beautifully done wonderful
Love it and techno is the best music ever, I name all my paintings after the techno song that’s on when I finish it.
Awesome! That was a really large canvas u did a great job!
Enjoyed everything you did!!!!!!
Super Beautiful! I would love to hang it in my living room and or bed room!! I am so jealous of your talent and patience!! :)
Beautiful !
Loved it! Thanks for the tutorial :)
I'm so glad - thank you for watching!
Lovely!
Gorgeous! Nicely done.
Thank you!
I am about to do my first pour...this was brilliant...Thank you....
Thank you so nuch for your kind insights of your work. Best wishes!
Thank you for watching! And for the kind and thoughtful words 🙂
Glad you torch more than others....cool!
I love your art and your teaching style. I subbed!
Aww thank you so much! 🙂
Beautiful ❤️
Wow. Such a massive undertaking. So impressive. The patterns came out beautiful. I'm just starting out, and starting small, with cheaper supplies. I even have an old bottle of Valspar decorative effects clear glaze that I will try as a pouring medium. Just a test, on an eight by ten. Crossing my fingers on a minimal pigment-bleed.
The first big pour commission I ever did was for a friend of mine so the pressure was on - I was terrified! lol! It IS a big undertaking but when they're done they're SO rewarding!
I'm not familiar with Valspar as a pouring medium but wish you luck! Hope they turn out!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all that you are doing! I was concentrating completely, on your style, and technique to even worry about the music. the music never bothered me at all. I'm very new to this, so wouldn't even begin to, nor feel it necessary, to criticize anything. But, I do tech people on soap making, and know exactly what you mean about people zooming in on one thing, and just HAVE to emphasize it. Your video was wonderful, and I loved every moment of it. Thank you again, loved your painting!
Thank you so much for this comment - I appreciate your understanding! :)
GORGEOUS! I loved it! The colors are so pretty! And I love the music!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching! 🙂
Terrible’music’!!
Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful and thank you so much for wonderful tutorial. I found a good idea on another channel, just to help move the paint easier as it 'grabs' on the gesso surface is to paint with a brush some pouring medium onto the canvas around the outside of the poured areas and out to the edge. Looking forward to more , loving your work.
That sounds like a great tip! I’ll have to try it. Thank you and thanks for watching 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm a newbie to this style so I'm watching a lot of videos to learn what I can. It'll be a while 'til I'm ready to take on a large canvas. Thank you for our instructions(going to check out your other ones) you answered a question before I asked it,don't apologize for talking. I appreciate your time. You have a new subscriber :)
Thank you so much! I practiced a lot on the 8x8 and 12x12 canvases before I tried anything substantial. And even when I did try a larger canvas I was terrified! lol! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comments! :)
I love your tutorial and the pour is fantastic and I am going too have a go at it; liddi from Belgium
Thank you so much for sharing ! You are great
Aww thank you for watching! 🙂
love the colors
Yes I would like to see the glossing process!! Please!!! ❤️Love your artwork!! Thank you❤️
I would love to see how you varnish! I always enjoy your videos, talking or not😉. They are so informative and helpful in my process of learning. I remember when I first started pouring that listening to you made me relax about doing it my own way and having fun rather than trying to be perfect. Just want to say thanks for that. Hope you are well! Looking forward to more videos when you are able😁.
This is such a lovely comment - thank you so much for posting it! Made my day! And I’m so glad you find my videos helpful! That’s all I ever could have hoped for! ❤️
Maigan Lynn, well you do such a great job and I look forward to seeing more videos if it is something you wish to do❤️ Much love
Hello from west Australia, I found you today, totally loved your pour, loved everything you said & you are lovely. I’m new & 70, although I’ve been stumbling along for months, having trouble with consistency mostly, I’ve jagged a couple of pierces that are reasonable. Your tutorial helped me HEAPS, your explanations are brilliant. I’m now going to find your “how to” videos on How to begin & watch them. I’ve subscribed, hit the bell & liked. I’m SO happy I found you. I hope your house move was successful, probably stressful tho’. Keep them coming 🌹🌹💚🌹🌹
fantastic...love your work..
Thank you! Amazing work.
Thank you so much for giving of this painting. This had to cost several dollars. The moving the canvas had to be a bit stressful.
Beautifully done.🙂
Great tutorial!!!
Hello, thank you for engaging my attention, what I mean is that you explain reasons as to why paints react with other paints.. And much more. And what you design with Yr paints is amazing. Stay well.. From NZ.
(You should get some handles for your canvas.)
I watched the video. YES, there was a lot talking. That's what you do - paint and talk to teach. YES, the video was long. It took a long time to do the painting! You sound almost apologetic in your comments. Don't. For those who don't have time to learn thoroughly, there is always FF! Great painting, btw. I'll be back for more!
Thank you Linda! I more or less state those things because I know if I don’t I’ll see it in the comments lol! My Galaxy tutorial had a few “too much talking” which made me laugh because how am I supposed to teach anyone if I don’t communicate thoroughly 😂
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
I had a feeling that might be the case! That's why I made a feeble attempt at being your advocate. The folks in the painting world will appreciate your efforts. For those who don't or don't have time, well, they can just watch a video that is not as informative or just FF. You are doing a good job. Keep it up! I just found you. I subscribed and rang the bell! I'll be back for more!
Of course you need to talk if you're teaching people how to do something! If viewers wants to get through the video faster, they can go to settings and change the speed from normal to 1.25, or even faster. Other viewers may want to slow it down and that is possible, too. Great video, by the way. I liked your explanation about the black and white as "base colors."
Yes, I slow it down or speed it up depending on if I'm understanding it or not. Isn't it great we can do this, and people are making themselves available to share what they know? I like to think there are people all over the world from different walks of life that are going on YT to watch someone in their kitchen with some paints and some ideas about how to make a beautiful thing..
Pretty sure Maigan was warning everyone, not apologising.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!THANKS I'M NEW AND I LOVE YOUR WORK.
Oh I'm so glad! Welcome to poured painting! :)Thank you for watching!
