She says she's gotta scrape and start over, and I literally shout "Nooooo! Don't do it its perfect! " I adored the way it turned out first. I absolutely loved it, and the contrast between the two sides. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder though, and as an artist I see your perspective too. Loved it!
Thank you so much for showing us the process of working through the frustrations of something not working out. I’ve scraped twice today. I’m not giving up. Don’t you just LOVE a happy ending?! Beautiful!! 💖💖
I really liked it each time - when it’s diagonal like that there is more black on one and more white on the other - so you naturally have more black space on the one - loved all aspects of it!!!
That is very true. I never thought of it that way but maybe alternate which side the white is on... Like top side one and bottom side of the other... Heck, idk...
Hon! Boy did I need to hear what you said about time, practice and money. I've come close to just getting rid of everything as I feel like a professional supply purchaser with little to no success in production as of late. Although this video is 2 years old, it was nice to come upon for encouragement!
The issue you was having was you halfed it across both panels. The one on your right side with the way it was halfed had more black and the one on your left had more white which is why you had the problem with one being more black. Regardless of what you seen as a mistake it was amazing and I would have put that panel aside and put a new clean one there and started again to save wasting your paint and use the old one as a happy mistake
I think this turned our FABULOUS!! Your frustration really helped to know that I am not the only one who gets frustrated and doesn't do everything perfect the first time. I appreciate this video a lot for that reason. Thank you so much for sharing!! My love to Juno!!
Kanella, I totally agree with Heather Davis. Thank you for the constructive suggestion to not giving up. I fell upon these videos about 7 months ago and have watched them almost 24/7 - with over hundreds of dollars spent and endless failed attempts, I GET IT. In my heart of hearts I know I can do it, so thanks again! You are so talented!
LOL, I shouldn’t laugh, but I so feel the struggle you were having with the second piece. It is so good to see how to play with pieces to achieve a better result. Thanks Kanella!
this is why I follow you with so much pleasure, every story of your experiences makes me understand that if we like to do something in life we must try as long as we can, always improve ourselves you are also a motivational teacher
Glad to hear you give the speech about not giving up , yes it does not happen over nite , no one is perfect , you gona have good and the bads , stock with it it will happen over time , so glad you did this fix on video it turned out beautiful Kanella and yes that gold is stunning shining!!! Thanks
I loved them after the first blow!! But watching you working to get it to the way you liked was very learning for me. I’m thinking I’m going to try a Dutch Pour again!! Thank-You Kanella!
I didn't turn out the way I wanted but these types of videos are amazing! It shows people like the woman you were talking about who gave up after 6 tries that even seasoned, amazing artists struggle sometimes. Thank you for posting this and not scrapping it!
You are right about the gold. It gives the painting a touch of warmth against the cool colours. This pour turned out great and thanks for showing us that paintings can be "fixed".
I love the finished duo. Absolutely beautiful. ❤️ I also appreciate the fact that you are not afraid to show that not everything goes to plan, I was beginning to think it was just me that made mistakes, as normally we only see perfection! Thank you ❤️
Kanella, you are so inspiring. Although it didn't go as you wanted it to, you showed us that it can be fixed. I've only been pouring for just over a month, Dutch pour is my favourite and with lots of practice if I'm half as good as you, I'll be overjoyed! Keep on inspiring us!
The geometry of painting two rectangles corner to corner with black and white would lend to one having more black and the other more white to cover, throwing you off on the amount of color on each when separated. Your recovery was great when you painted more white on your right side. They turned out beautiful! Congrats! Love them❤
Thank you so much for persevering and showing us how to fix it. I do agree that it needed something different before you fixed it but I LOVE the end result. Well done.
Thanks for providing us with a wonderful example of problem solving. All of us experience that frustration of failure..seeing something in your minds eye does not always translate into a wonderful final result.
How amazing watching you do your stuff! You are such an inspiration showing just how you do your magic. I love how you showed us how you didn't like what turned out, you scrapped, redid it, then scrapped and redid it till you loved it. That was amazing. Thank you! You are an awesome example of never give up for all of us that feel like giving up...especially when things just dont turn out the way we want them to. I have such admiration for you! Again, Thank you!
I agree with Ellen Barnett this clip alone was very inspiring to me because I'm just starting out and looking at all the amazing art work and artist shows they are humans that make human errors as well! Everyone always shows perfection never all the layers it really takes to get to that level. But this clip showed how life happens and how we can work at solving are own problems. Go work and thanks for not editing your mistakes
Hi Kanella, WOW FANTASTIC painting. Words escape me in describing how very stunningly beautiful this painting is! Thank you for sharing your talents with us! The Bonus Puppy vid was sweet, she is so beautiful. Thank so much! Sending positive Vibes your way. Peace love Dreams!💞🕊🌐😉
I have just found your videos. And really appreciate how well you explain how you ‘fix’ things. I too have felt so frustrated when a painting doesn’t work out the way I want and ohh the number of scrapings and redos to get it right. Your advice will certainly help others with the same problems. Thanks so much for sharing. Now I must look up the video of the beautiful one you showed at the start. Cheers Marie. ‘downunder’ ’
We learn so much from our panic moments and our oops's when we think things can't be fixed to our liking. Funny how sometimes the best results come from a little persistence and the willingness to try something else. I love the way they turned out.
Thank you got showing the struggles. I appreciate seeing that I am not the only one that messes up, has to scrape, and do it over again. You rock!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I liked it before the first scrape. With that said, I ❤️ 💕 💗 the way it turned out! And, I was glad to see how you “fix” things you aren’t happy with. I’m new to this kind of art (coming from quilt art) and my first attempt went in the trash! Now I know not to give up! Thank you so much!!!!
I love the end product even though I was screaming not to scrape it....like you said" got to play with it, practice, until your happy with it" I've done several mediums across many different types of art but I've really been interested in the acrylic pour. I've seen alot of your videos and I love that you do scrape if your not happy with it! I'll be trying it for the first time next week! CANNOT WAIT!
I really like how it turned out and I am glad I was able to see how you corrected it when it didn't work right on the black. It is good to know you can scrape it off and start over without having to ditch the canvas.
This is beautiful Kanella. I love listening to your chats, and all the advice you give. I’ve done a couple of pours now, and am enjoying the process even tho my results are not too good yet☹️. I like perfection so am determined to get it eventually 🙂.
lovely pieces...I'm so fascinated with this kind of painting and now I'm starting to buy the things I need and watching youtube videos like yours. I love the way you show that it doesn't work the way you want it sometimes and redoing it til you're happy with it again...😍
Amy's piece is definitely fantasy orchids, absolutely spectacular! Your work is so inspirational thank you...I'm a total novice but am slowly getting my materials together and hope to become creative...nowhere as good as you but shall definitely try my hand! Awesome awesome awesome
I love this video! I have screwed up so badly on my latest project that I will have to strip my table top down and start over again. You make me feel so much better! I love your work. You are such an inspiration!!!!!
You are such a talented artist...I have health issues and love the fact that I can watch your videos and get my pour fix, because your pouring is presented so realistically. I think you often bring out the hidden artist in others........THANKS
I love it when an artist isn’t afraid to use black ... and a lot of it. My goodness that black side is just stunningly rich imho. The side with more white looks well I don’t want to use the word typical bc no two canvases are exactly the same but my eyes tend to go straight for the beautiful black 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really, REALLY needed to watch this video. I can't get a good Dutch yet. It's nice to see someone who makes such great pieces and experienced also go thru struggles. And thank you for the pep talk explaining your experiences learning. And saying if we want to give up then this art is not for us. That made me feel so much better. I am very new to pouring. Thank you!!! 💖
The black side was fine; it's like saying "I lost all my black" on the other panel. Because of the angle, you only started with a tiny corner of white. Second time was fine, too. You want it to look like the other side, but with the proportions of black and white you are using on each panel, it's not possible. Lovely results, I think, on all attempts. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Love it Kanella. I think the word you were looking for was persistence and patience and beginners certainly need them - like you said it's not a walk in the park and everything needs practice. Love the black and white theme :)
😍♥️Gorgeous!!! I loved how you talked us through and showed how to fix things when you don’t like something. I actually loved the first attempt. I thought it had a nice composition next to the 1st one, but I see now what you were going for. As others have said, it was the way you taped them off, but also the viscosity and weight of minerals in Black v.s. White paint can make a difference as well in how they flow. And why the one color always clogs. Looking forward to learning from you! 🥰
Thank you so much for the reminder about not giving up. At times I get frustrated and have to walk away for a few minutes then approach it with a fresh eye and rework it. As per usual, yours turned out awesome. The black and white diagonal is a beautiful way to accentuate all the colors....and that 24k gold is lucious in there!
I think it is beautiful, and I think you should try this again, only split the canvas at a 30 degree angle instead of 45 degree angle so there is less black to absorb all of your colors.
I’m glad I watched this video. I started dutch pouring recently and I got extremely discouraged today because I can’t figure out the “perfect” technique. I felt like you were talking to me when you were talking about not giving up. Now I’m getting out of bed and trying again!!Thank you! Love your art so much, you’re an inspiration.
Me too. I have failed way more than succeeded. I have a hubby that will not let me quit. He told me I started something I must work at it to become brilliant. And seeing kanella do one she must fix is inspirational. Bc she is a boss at this art!
Love this video I really wanna try this. I like the way you explained every step and I think I'm learning just watching your video and that's amazing because I'm not fluid in English-language. Thanks
It turned out so pretty! I’m just beginning but my granddaughter was watching me try a pour and she loved it so she went on Amazon and bought paint for her boyfriend and her to spend an afternoon painting. So cute!
The 2nd one you showed, reminded me of bearded iris. The shapes of the colours. The first one reminded me of how the sea meets the land. It reminds me a bit of an aerial view of land.
I’m so sorry you had troubles with this one!, I’m getting ready to do one just like it! Ha! I should say I’m getting ready to try to do one like it! And I’m sorry you had so much trouble but it helps me a lot because yesterday I had a horrible fail and was feeling like such a loser so this helps me to be encouraged to not give up and keep trying thank you so much Kanella!
I agreed with some of the others... You didn't have to scrape and start over, though I get why you felt you were losing too much of the white. Your solution to the black expanse problem was exactly what I was thinking you should do. The finished pieces are gorgeous. I haven't done this yet, but you've inspired me to give it a try... Until yesterday, I'd never even encountered this style of art before, but I like it! Probably the first form of abstract art I've ever been attracted to, maybe because of its almost organic and textile appearance (I'm predominantly a needle artist, with a side of fine art.)
That's why I'm getting an art studio....art is messy, I needed a place I could allow myself to be messy. I love this black n white idea, loved all of it, and how quickly you decided to scrape....
The shear geometric color design on the canvas with the problem was beautiful. A full canvas of the shear geometric shapes would be nice. If you have a blank canvas near by and put the excess paint from the scraper onto the second canvas with pallet knife techniques the effects will be very good. This way you don't waste the paint on a paper towel that goes into the trash.
They turned out beautiful once you put the two together. However I still think the first one was pretty. The Gold was on Point. Thanks for the Lesson to never give up. ❤️
I really like both of the original, pre-scrape pieces.. Just blow some color a little further into the black. Then you just need to change your orientation. Instead of side by side, they should be displayed horizontally, one above the other. That way, instead of having lost all of the white, the paintings are rising from dark to light with those gorgeous organic color sprays being the transition. Also, right after you scraped your canvas and moved it over so you could get to the sides...that puddle of drippings that wrapped around the bottom of the scraped canvas and up between to two was amazing! It made me think of some kind of rock strata with inlaid mineral deposits that they would pull up from the ocean floor. As for why it turned out differently. Considering how far (and fast) the paint migrated down the canvas, I have to wonder if that canvas was perfectly level, because you treated both canvases the same and used the same paints, so if they were the problem, then the issue would have happened on both canvases.
She says she's gotta scrape and start over, and I literally shout "Nooooo! Don't do it its perfect! "
I adored the way it turned out first. I absolutely loved it, and the contrast between the two sides. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder though, and as an artist I see your perspective too.
Loved it!
Me too I love the side she scraped
I was screaming too!! I loved the first run. I was so sad when it got scraped. 🥺
I thought the original was beautiful.
I was thinking the exact same thing... yelling at my computer "NOOOOO... STOP SCRAPING!!!" I thought it was beautiful every time!
Rebecca S I agree that the First one sete perfect 💯 %
Thank you so much for showing us the process of working through the frustrations of something not working out. I’ve scraped twice today. I’m not giving up. Don’t you just LOVE a happy ending?! Beautiful!! 💖💖
It's important for your viewers to see how things get fixed. That's inspirational. I loved the black and white 2 tone approach.
I'm so glad you show your oops too, it makes me know that I just need to keep trying.
Oh you broke my heart, loved the original.
I really liked it each time - when it’s diagonal like that there is more black on one and more white on the other - so you naturally have more black space on the one - loved all aspects of it!!!
That is very true. I never thought of it that way but maybe alternate which side the white is on... Like top side one and bottom side of the other... Heck, idk...
I loved the Dutch pour you did for Amy. I'm not surprised she asked you to do another one. I can't wait to watch it!
I love that you are showing how real the struggle can be every other time I have watched you I kept thinking how does she make it look so easy
Hon! Boy did I need to hear what you said about time, practice and money. I've come close to just getting rid of everything as I feel like a professional supply purchaser with little to no success in production as of late. Although this video is 2 years old, it was nice to come upon for encouragement!
I love how she don't thro the other one away she just fixed it!
The issue you was having was you halfed it across both panels. The one on your right side with the way it was halfed had more black and the one on your left had more white which is why you had the problem with one being more black. Regardless of what you seen as a mistake it was amazing and I would have put that panel aside and put a new clean one there and started again to save wasting your paint and use the old one as a happy mistake
Thank you for allowing us to see what to do when problems arise.
Yes I do love these 2! And it proofs again: there isn't a failed painting, just an artist giving up. Love that you don't give up!
Gorgeous

Thank you for letting me see that you also get paintings you don’t like and how to fix it
You are right about the gold. It gives the painting a touch of warmth against the cool colours. This pour turned out great and thanks for showing us that paintings can be "fixed".
I really appreciate how candid you are with your videos. I love that you show your mistakes and how you fix them it inspires me to keep going!

Some of what we consider huge disasters become some of the most beautiful things we create an art. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The outcome was beautiful once you finished and put both canvases together. The 24k Gold on Point. ❤️thanks for the lesson. Be Safe.
Thank you so much for persevering and showing us how to fix it. I do agree that it needed something different before you fixed it but I LOVE the end result. Well done.
Thank you Kanella for making a "mistake" and how you are fixing it. It turned out absolutely beautiful!
Thanks for providing us with a wonderful example of problem solving. All of us experience that frustration of failure..seeing something in your minds eye does not always translate into a wonderful final result.

Sending positive Vibes your way.
Peace love Dreams!💞🕊🌐😉
I really like this 2 tone. I have been working more with black and I have to say black is another animal to work with. This turned out stunning.
Love how you fixed this. I enjoy watching you & learning so much. Thanks!

Beautiful ! It looks like turmoil breaking free! Love the way the colors are moving.
Oh you did so well to get that sorted. You did a great job Kanella, top marks
I liked all the versions. Your persistence and perfectionism work too the final look was the best. Good job.
This is beautiful Kanella. I love listening to your chats, and all the advice you give. I’ve done a couple of pours now, and am enjoying the process even tho my results are not too good yet☹️. I like perfection so am determined to get it eventually 🙂.

Good for you. I agree it needed some alterations. You got there, it’s lovely 👍
I love this video! I have screwed up so badly on my latest project that I will have to strip my table top down and start over again. You make me feel so much better! I love your work. You are such an inspiration!!!!!
thank you - never give up... i have MANY screw ups myself :)
You are such a talented artist...I have health issues and love the fact that I can watch your videos and get my pour fix, because your pouring is presented so realistically. I think you often bring out the hidden artist in others........THANKS
thanks so much Patricia
Thanks for hanging in there. Great instruction on the need for composition.
I love that you showed us how to fix this! I would’ve just scraped it and started over. That was amazing and it turned out absolutely gorgeous!
Well done, you rescued it very successfully. Very attractive design.
You are so right. You have to work at it. It turned out fabulous. I love it.
Loved seeing you go through the fixing process and what you said about how long you need to expect to practice before you're any good :)
I believe you nailed it Kanella. I just love watching you. I'm still learning from you but I, like you, noticed it was too dark also. Koodoes to you.
No paint, no gain! Gorgeous in the end!
I love it when an artist isn’t afraid to use black ... and a lot of it. My goodness that black side is just stunningly rich imho. The side with more white looks well I don’t want to use the word typical bc no two canvases are exactly the same but my eyes tend to go straight for the beautiful black 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Exactly what I thought. Its because it was two rectangles and not two squares
Beautiful. You did a great job of working through the problem solving aspect of art! Wonderful painting. I will give it a try. Thank you.
Beautiful Kanella! Yes you did fight for that victory! Very impressive! 🥰🎨🌹
Both are fantastic, but the second I see twin Irises. Gorgeous!
Love it Kanella. I think the word you were looking for was persistence and patience and beginners certainly need them - like you said it's not a walk in the park and everything needs practice. Love the black and white theme :)
i love that you had to push past it, you taught me better for it. Thankyou
It's a beautiful paint. I love to see you working , I learned a lot. Many thanks
That really has the northern lights look in the black areas!! 🥰🌌🌌 I think the touch of gold really brought it out!! 💙💜💛
I really love the colours in the second painting. Totally beautiful...
😍♥️Gorgeous!!! I loved how you talked us through and showed how to fix things when you don’t like something. I actually loved the first attempt.

I think it is beautiful, and I think you should try this again, only split the canvas at a 30 degree angle instead of 45 degree angle so there is less black to absorb all of your colors.
I thought that as well, when you began adjusting. You are brave. Not every person can have the courage to share their process.
I don't think you should have touched it. I will wait to see what you come up with. It was beautiful to begin with.
That was a beauty. Loved the way you fixed it as it turned out like magic! So good together. I really love watching you work.
Again that purple and green is just the most beautiful and vivid piece I've seen thus far!
WOW 🤩! WOW 🤩! WOW 🤩!
Absolutely stunning 🤩❤️👏!!!
I’m going to have to try the half black, half white dutch pours!! They look so amazing!!!
I’m glad I watched this video. I started dutch pouring recently and I got extremely discouraged today because I can’t figure out the “perfect” technique. I felt like you were talking to me when you were talking about not giving up. Now I’m getting out of bed and trying again!!Thank you! Love your art so much, you’re an inspiration.
m glad you tried again.. never give up... we all fail from time to time.. even ME!
Boy howdy, you did have to work at this one. As usual, you pulled it off. Great colors. Feathering and lacey is stunning.
Good save, Kanella! I admire your persistence.
And thank you for the talk about failing and learning. I think I really needed to hear that 💜
Me too. I have failed way more than succeeded. I have a hubby that will not let me quit. He told me I started something I must work at it to become brilliant. And seeing kanella do one she must fix is inspirational. Bc she is a boss at this art!
YES !! When I dont like how my pieces are looking I do a "fix me upper" I call it. Beautiful.... just beautiful!
Me too!
Love this video I really wanna try this. I like the way you explained every step and I think I'm learning just watching your video and that's amazing because I'm not fluid in English-language. Thanks
Thank you for showing us how you fixed your painting. It looks beautiful! ❤️👍🏼
As always your art turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing the ENTIRE process. Lol
It turned out so pretty! I’m just beginning but my granddaughter was watching me try a pour and she loved it so she went on Amazon and bought paint for her boyfriend and her to spend an afternoon painting. So cute!
Thank you for continuing to press in. It turned out beautifully.
The 2nd one you showed, reminded me of bearded iris. The shapes of the colours. The first one reminded me of how the sea meets the land. It reminds me a bit of an aerial view of land.
It is good to see some one else have problems and how they solve their problems.
I’m so sorry you had troubles with this one!, I’m getting ready to do one just like it! Ha! I should say I’m getting ready to try to do one like it! And I’m sorry you had so much trouble but it helps me a lot because yesterday I had a horrible fail and was feeling like such a loser so this helps me to be encouraged to not give up and keep trying thank you so much Kanella!
I agreed with some of the others... You didn't have to scrape and start over, though I get why you felt you were losing too much of the white. Your solution to the black expanse problem was exactly what I was thinking you should do. The finished pieces are gorgeous. I haven't done this yet, but you've inspired me to give it a try...

Probably the first form of abstract art I've ever been attracted to, maybe because of its almost organic and textile appearance (I'm predominantly a needle artist, with a side of fine art.)
This is so satisfying. I smile through the entire video amazing job 👍
I so needed to see this! I love how you show us how you fix things! It helps me out so much!!! Thank you! Its gorgeous!
Awesome!!! I love the colors this turned out great if at first you don't secede try, try again!!!
That's why I'm getting an art studio....art is messy, I needed a place I could allow myself to be messy. I love this black n white idea, loved all of it, and how quickly you decided to scrape....
I love the way your paintings so often remind me of flowers. Great!!! I hope one day to be as good at this as you are. I am practicing, a lot.
The shear geometric color design on the canvas with the problem was beautiful. A full canvas of the shear geometric shapes would be nice. If you have a blank canvas near by and put the excess paint from the scraper onto the second canvas with pallet knife techniques the effects will be very good. This way you don't waste the paint on a paper towel that goes into the trash.
They turned out beautiful once you put the two together. However I still think the first one was pretty. The Gold was on Point. Thanks for the Lesson to never give up. ❤️
I really like both of the original, pre-scrape pieces.. Just blow some color a little further into the black. Then you just need to change your orientation. Instead of side by side, they should be displayed horizontally, one above the other. That way, instead of having lost all of the white, the paintings are rising from dark to light with those gorgeous organic color sprays being the transition. Also, right after you scraped your canvas and moved it over so you could get to the sides...that puddle of drippings that wrapped around the bottom of the scraped canvas and up between to two was amazing! It made me think of some kind of rock strata with inlaid mineral deposits that they would pull up from the ocean floor. As for why it turned out differently. Considering how far (and fast) the paint migrated down the canvas, I have to wonder if that canvas was perfectly level, because you treated both canvases the same and used the same paints, so if they were the problem, then the issue would have happened on both canvases.
