My first pour was with $tree craft paint and it turned out beautifully. Breast cancer was what got me started pouring, I couldn't work so needed to do something to help me get through. Cancer free now and still pouring 4 yrs. later, thanks for all you do. 😘
I am grateful that your journey led you to this peaceful therapy that we all love. I am especially glad that you healed from your trauma and are doing well! Happy pouring!
Thank you for being so. Kind and detailed I started doing this for therapeutic reasons suffering from mental illness however patience and failing can set you back but still trying different methods and watching lots of videos which led to me spending way too much money trying to achieve these beautiful ones and believe many folks lie here so thanks for your honesty simplicity and showing how to on a budget Being on disability I’ve went into debt and still can’t get the beautiful results u do but won’t give up😊
Dear Ms Norma Jean, I can relate to your story. I had breast cancer 7 years ago and art is one of those activities that kept me going as well. I still enjoy it ... more than ever. Thank you for sharing & kindest regards from margo (Brussels, Belgium). In French we say GROS CALIN (Big hug)
Tweaking made me start pouring. But I spent way too much time screwing with my painting after it is done in about a quarter of a time I end up turning it in the mud and bleeding the colors together. But it's still fun
Mr. J Mo, I send you this message from my heart. I watch your videos and I must say that it brings a quiet peace to my soul. I have bought paints, canvas and many other things to get started, BUT as of yet I have not started. For some reason, I am afraid that I will mess it up. I think that it goes straight to the issues that I struggle with in life, excepting myself, my weaknesses, imperfections....maybe it sounds trivial, strange to y'all. Logically, I know what to say to myself, but lately my emotionally side is leading me. I want to thank you for opening up a bit it put a smile in my soul and brought a ray of hope to me. I forget that saying, Life imitating art or art imitating life, but I really can see how true that is. Just thinking about the fact that I am afraid to start because I will fail. Everything about painting is a mirror of my struggles. How to love yourself with everything that the LORD HAS GIVEN YOU!!! When I look at something ...what will I see first the imperfections of the painting or the complete work of art as a beautiful collage of cascading colors that put out energy of happiness...so here's to the day when I finally break the ice and pour out my soul on a canvas and NOT see that air bubble that might annoy me or will I see me and celebrate that fact that I woke up this morning and was given the gift of another day to bring happiness into the world and maybe make someone smile. Thank you for your videos, your kindness, openness and just being you!!!I hope one day to over come this difficult time in my life. With blessings to you and all of your viewers!!!
I feel like your story will help people, not put bad into the world. We watch your videos because your art is beautiful, and your journey helped you get there. If it is to hard for you to share at the present time, wait until you are ready, we will be here whenever you, and only YOU are ready to tell it! The painting is gorgeous as usual ❤️ Thank you for sharing
Going through it as any woman, person and mother.would. i believe this art therapy would help.tumindeusly problem is with all the funerals am working two jobs and still count pennies. If you or anyone could possibly help with the supply's . I have absolutely nothing anymore. My house also burnt down a month before my daughter passed away and unfortunately in lost ball my supply's.
Don't ever be afraid to share your story. Listening to others describing their trials is what just might be the thing that helps someone else. Your artwork is so beautiful, and your attitude has inspired me to keep going.
A traumatic car accident led me to find my artistic side. I’m grateful for this medium and people like you who share their talents and humanity with us. I look forward to your story.
I can relate to that 100%, I was never a guy that I would consider had any artistic ability whatsoever. Then after my life events I found that I needed this artform and fell in love with it! Thank you Robin
I only use craft one print and glue. I’m not good enough yet to use expensive stuff. Thank you for seeing that cheap can be beautiful. I love watching you paint. I can see how much you love doing this. Your videos are so calming the music(I do miss the metal you used to play but I love the soft music also). I hope someday you can share your story with us. Sharing is part of healing. We all have had some not so pretty moments in life. We love you and think you are a wonderful person. Nothing that has happened will ever change that. You are not alone ever. You always make my day brighter when I watch your videos ❤️
Thank you Kim, I am grateful for all you do to support my passions here. I am also glad that I can brighten your day. I plan on sharing this story with y'all very soon
Gorgeous! I started with craft paint & loved them. They are good… they won’t last as long in direct sunlight. I paint for me. Art therapy. Share your story when it’s good for you… 💖💖
You are right! We all have more in common than we know! I’m so grateful for my new journey with art as well! It is truly helping me with some depression, some health issues, and some life happenings. My faith & my art is where I go to let it all go and enjoy learning right now ❤️💚💜💙🧡
The only positive perk of traumatic experiences in our lives is discovering that inner artist. That's how I discovered mine as well. I suffer from debilitating depression and without acrylic paint, I don't know where I would be at this point. I truly appreciate your vulnerability and willingness to share your story. Hearing it from a man, makes it all the more important to me. I enjoy watching your videos because of your artistic ability, of course, but even more because of how your voice is calming and soothing to listen to. Always and forever a fan ~ Debbie ❤🎨
I've been making pyrogrphy for the past 8 years, photography for the past 20 years, I enjoy it very much and it keeps me busy. I also make other crafts, 2 year ago I started to watch videos about pouring. I made a few pieces and I enjoy it so much. I'm definitely going to continue with all my hobbies. J mo, continue creating beautiful art. 😊
It’s just gorgeous opally look 🥰👍thank you for sharing life isn’t always easy but because we are resilient people having good friends and family for support as well we get through all of the challenges life throws at us 🥰👍
Thank You so much 💕 I love how it turned out and the whole process. What a gift to find this today, my 63rd birthday 🎉 Keep Painting and sharing your journey. I can feel the emotion in you when you talk about sharing your own story. I see you. I respect you. And when you are ready to speak your story, I will witness you and your courage 💞
It's gorgeous Johnny, love the colors you chose. Those are the paints I started out with. Love the Folk Art paints the most and still use them a lot. FYI for budget hunters: Hobby Lobby has them too and usually if they are advertising their 70 to 90% clearance the craft paints might be/usually are on sale or they may have Master's Touch on clearance (regular $6.99 at $1.49 for a 4.1 oz tube). Last time I went they had Anita's craft paints (another good brand) at 73 cents for their 2 oz bottle. Folk Art was $1.17 for the 2 oz bottle. The Jot clear glue at Dollar Tree also works as a good medium. Their acrylic paints are decent too for someone just starting out and they have 8x10 canvases. Sargent Art acrylic paints at Walmart are also budget friendly, use those a lot too.
I think as artists, trauma and pain can also really help us see beauty and joy in the most mundane places. And that definitely helps when creating art. Your story is valid and can always help someone.
Hello Johnny! Great to see you! I’ve tested positive for Covid so no hugs, kisses or visitors for the last 4 days. Missing my little grandchildren so seeing you paint is very cheery for me! Love this gentle piece - cute! xx 🎉
Never underestimate the power and value of your voice and experiences. YOU! YES YOU READING THIS! Whoever you are. I have something to tell you... You are beautiful. You are valued. You are loved. The world is a better place because you are in it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for existing.
Johnny, I always love your awe and love of painting. Keep on being you. Glad your move to Detroit seems to be agreeing with you!!! Also glad you can show folks that they can get the joy of painting on a budget Love this.
Wow I didn’t expect the cells to come Up at all! And then they exploded like magic. Pretty neat and it’s just craft paint and glue. It really looks amazing 👍🤩
To be honest I have always had a hard time getting cells with glue mediums. This one was a bit thinner than I normally use so I was hopeful and I really like how it turned out. Thank you so much
@@JMoPainting so I’m assuming you’re saying thinner paint is more likely to create cells?? I can’t get mine too create ANY 😢 😡! I tried using a heat gun, slower tilting, pouring medium mixed with a dash of water and a few small squirts of silicone and nothings working! Please help! You’re a great artist! I wish I could find a partner to learn and share this passion with.
I'm a fan of "cheap stuff". Lol. I've been a self taught artist all my life. Most of what I know now is from utube. I could never afford classes or the expensive products that so many beautiful artists use. Like I said I'm a fan of the cheap stuff n will tweek everything until I'm happy with the results. Most of what I've learned with acrylic pouring which I've only been doing 5 years is from watching ur videos! I have only ever used the cheap craft paints n I can say I've never had a problem using them. At 1st I had alot of cracking but ur videos helped. Thank u so much for all u have taught me!!
I love watching you create such wonderful art, & I love listening to you talk! It's obvious you are a top guy.. Thank you for sharing your work on RUclips..
Inspiring thank you for sharing, i watch all your videos and you're right we all can't afford expensive mediums now, thanks for the alternative options. Art is my escape and helps me cope with my trauma.
I have to admit that I would normally shy away from the colour combination you used in this turorial, but I am wrong: the outcome is simply splendide ! So, thank you and thank you for accepting to demonstrate that acrylic that is less expensive produces such a beautiful result as well.
Ok, J I have been wanting to see someone use paint that I can buy. I have looked at the pro-paints and just can't do it. At 68, I am on a fixed income and just don't have the money. But I can find these paints and a small canvas. Now I can not only watch, but I can try some things myself.....thank you, thank you. J you are awesome....
Love the end result, it's amazing. I've moved up to the more costly paints lately but still have a large collection of craft paints which I use too. I think they are generally under rated as you've just proved. Some amazing results can still be obtained even if the paint is not top notch. Thanks for this video.
Love the result! Amazing color choices! Your explanation of reasons for cracking and all experiences you pass on to us are so valuable. Thank you for sharing, your an awesome teacher! 👍
This was so beautiful. I've seen these paints at Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree but never expected them to do so well. I'm about to start gathering materials to start learning fluid art painting so this will save me a ton of money during the learning period. Your painting couldn't have been more timely for me. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
This was my first time watching you,and you answered a question i have asked many channels with no reply, about cracking and you explained why in a way i understood straight away, so ive subscribed and look forward to watching your other videos, thankyou.
Holy cow, that's beautiful! I don't think I'm artistic at all, and have never been able to paint, but I think I can do this! Thank you so much for sharing your work.
As individuals, we grow in our times of adversity. As social creatures we connect in those times as well. Feel free to share with us, but only what and when you're comfortable. Know that we love your art and when/if you're ready to tell us your story we will listen with open ears and open hearts. Thanks for being you and doing what you do!
You have been successful beating the challenge given to you. Those colors together show your talent and creativity. You brought mixtures of the four colors that "dance a garden ballet." Using the flower 🌼 🌸 cookie cutters made a huge flower pattern with zillions of cells and minute changes in colors.
Sweet! Try Dawn dish liquid, too. Glue All, Dawn, water, paint was my first mixture for pouring medium and still go to it semi regularly, even though I have silicone now, and Floetrol, and wood conditioner. I can't afford better paints either, only Amsterdam in titanium and a black one. All my other works are with the other mixtures.
I'll be darned! Craft paints!! I am so glad you created such beauty to share with us. I can't wait to try it out, but I have to wait as I do my painting out side, in MI. We all have our demons and most veterans who served after WWII will not talk. I noticed when I took my dad to the Veterans meetings and of my friends who served in Vietnam. And that's ok. Serving in a war changes you and I will be here for you if you need to talk. This was an AMAZING creation..thanks..
FYI, for fun, mix your glue / water like you did here and then try tempura paint. I have been experimenting with that and I get some beautiful stuff. And it’s cheap, you get quite a lot for your money. Just another less expensive way to explore pour painting on a tight budget. Love the painting you did here!
I love your colors and patient pouring..never got your results when I was rush pouring... still watching and learning👍 pandemic bought Walmart /target paint. How can without center ring and glue?? Thanks 🙏 love your art Maryeonmaui
I started with craft paints and got some amazing cells and I would recommend them for anyone starting out. I still use them when I want to try a new technique they are good for experiments.
Love your choice of colors. So pretty!! Thanks for sharing this with us. PS: only share your personal stories when your ready. Your awesome!! Have a wonderful day,!! 😊
Wow, that is just gorgeous. I honestly had a small amount of doubts in the beginning. But im happy to say i was totaly wrong. This is just another one of your beautiful works.
Thankyou for your knowledge am new to pouring paint and have been having trouble with cracking on the canvas. What I Did It On the wood did fine. I think I learned that my paint is not consistent. Thankyou
Very pretty! I love pouring but I am on a very limited income so I have always had to use the cheaper acrylic paints. There are many range of colors at Wal-Mart and it's good that those of us who have to watch our pennies can still have fun and cover our walls with crazy abstracts and pours! I am glad you have found this way of dealing with all the mountains and valleys of life. I use crafts along with my deep faith in God and that combination makes for a joyful life even when the bad things slam into me.
I was feeling artistic but not inspired. NOW I am inspired! 💕 I love your channel and how you talk 😊👍🏼 Edit: This hasn’t been the best emotional day…. This helped 😊
WOW that turned out incredibly!!! Never feel like you're making a mistake by letting people know that you had to work your way through a difficult time will bring anyone down! I'm working my way through brain cancer and I haven't even done ,y first painting yet but watching the videos of the many artists on youtube has helped me immensely,!!!
When I first started, all I used was craft paint. Rarely had a cracking problem, but I used them to embellish the pieces when I did. This piece is gorgeous. That green is so vibrant.
For years I was a faux finisher by trade and I know finishes and sugar that is beautiful and and for years people look fir people who are genuine like you to share time with thank you f or sharing yours with mine
Radical! Such a gorgeous explosion of color! I started my fluid art journey to help me through a traumatic knee injury and the depression that ensued. I'm a very busy diy renovator and I've never been knocked out of the game before. It was devastating. Fluid art taught me so much about myself. I can appreciate wanting to keep things positive, you have to cuz theres no where to go from the bottom but up! Thank you!
I am brand new to this type of art. I love it so far. I am kinda in a bad space in my life. I needed to feel joy and happiness again. I came across your channel and can't stop watching. Thank you for your devotion of time and knowledge. ❤
Beautiful colors and I am obsessed with how many cells u get! My heart feels u and what it took for u to get to this place of peace. God has taken your ashes and turned them into beauty. May God continue to bless u and use u to bring others peace and light. Thank u for ur service.🥰
I have depression and anxiety. My mom just passed. I needed a new craft but was leary of painting. Then I found folks like you that teach it. You explain very well and I can't wait to try this! Thanks.
I can definitely understand there's definitely a lot of negativity in the world hopefully my comment will help you put your perspective out there because you are not alone I have felt alone for so long I have been dealing with domestic violence and I'm getting ready to face my abusers in court I've been homeless for 4 years because of this living in a vehicle when I do have the chance of the opportunity I love to use paint pouring as a stress reliever anxiety reliever and it helps me deal with my severe PTSD as well so I hope you know that you are not alone and what you are dealing with there are others out there just like you painting helps me no matter what kind of form it is thank you for sharing your paint pouring art with us and with me
Wowser! Awesome colors and cells! I myself have had good luck with craft paints. Think i might just give this a go myself! Peaceful painting! Good job!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for actually reading and acting on the comments your followers leave. Most youtube artists act like they care about comments, but don't really ever act on the suggestions. This is the first time I have watched you and I'm definitely hooked.
I love your channel and your art. I've been watching a lot of paint pouring videos and am seriously thinking about trying it. I've done many different kind of crafts over the years and love being creative. I've never thought of it as therapeutic but having lost my beloved husband this last April to cancer I'm feeling the need for some creative therapy and this looks like something I could really get into. Plus if I could monetize it it would be a great help to my income that since I'm retired and my husband has passed has been cut more than in half. Thanks for your tutorials. They're relaxing just to watch and I can't wait to use them while trying paint pouring myself. The best to you. 💜✌🏻
Thank you 🙏 I just got the pour painting bug, haven’t used anything expensive. I didn’t understand my new obsession this art. I am not artistic but have made a few nice pictures. I believe type of art has this helped me with life ❤
I also love your art and I've really only used the cheaper product's ( I'm pensioner on tight budget) and being beginner it's a great way to learn without feeling you can't afford it 👍 this is much appreciated dear 🙏👵🇭🇲
Hi J Mo, I am doing well. Thanks for asking. How are you doing? I saw another one of your videos where you shared the ups and downs of your life. I appreciate just how raw your feelings and emotions are and have been during this journey. Thank you for your service to your country. Service men and women don't get enough recognition for their service. I too find painting to be a joy, when it turns out 😂 but that's the ups and downs of being creative. What type of work do you do, now that you've left the army? I love your work, J Mo, and look forward to seeing more of your creations. With love from, Gina Mac of Queensland, Australia. 😊🙏❤️🇦🇺🐨🎨
I really appreciated that you showed us with just regular craft paint. This encourages me! Thank you very much. The painting turned out wonderful. And I love and appreciate your kindness and gentleness !! I wish you well ☺
I think the amazing paintings you do are gorgeous and your genuine kindness, caring and precious spirit to help those that are in need of reassurance make you that 1special person that people feel they can reach out to. I just want to say Thank You For The Sacrifices You Made For People You Don't Even Know but You Were Willing To Make Sure They Were Safe.. I just want to tell you, you have no idea how much you have helped me by reassuring that everything will be ok. May God Bless You and Always Keep You Safe 🙏
It’s nice to see you enjoying the pour paint. I bet your painting to let your feelings come out. You paint with a lot of feelings. You can use oil, dish soap, DW40 oil, alcohol. From Lott Texas 😊❤
I'm new here. I started pouring a few days ago after watching you. I'm still learning and several pieces look like crud. But I'm going to keep going. Thank you..you are inspiring
Thank you for your information about your thank God you find a outlet that help you I sometimes get depressed and I am doing a little painting just learning color makes me happy
After a life with a few to many down, I cracked 1 1/2 year ago after my son beat cancer. 25 months of treatment. Now I'm on sickleave with possible PTSD! The first time I "found out" about acrylic pouring was on Instagram, just a month or two ago. I've made 3 paintings and used the leftover paint on a figurine. Love your videos. Very informative and beautiful artwork
My first pour was with $tree craft paint and it turned out beautifully. Breast cancer was what got me started pouring, I couldn't work so needed to do something to help me get through. Cancer free now and still pouring 4 yrs. later, thanks for all you do. 😘
I am grateful that your journey led you to this peaceful therapy that we all love. I am especially glad that you healed from your trauma and are doing well! Happy pouring!
Thank you for being so. Kind and detailed
I started doing this for therapeutic reasons suffering from mental illness however patience and failing can set you back but still trying different methods and watching lots of videos which led to me spending way too much money trying to achieve these beautiful ones and believe many folks lie here so thanks for your honesty simplicity and showing how to on a budget
Being on disability I’ve went into debt and still can’t get the beautiful results u do but won’t give up😊

Me too. Just got news no more cancer. My painting has saved my mind
Tweaking made me start pouring. But I spent way too much time screwing with my painting after it is done in about a quarter of a time I end up turning it in the mud and bleeding the colors together. But it's still fun
That turned out awesome. 😀

Creating art has helped me heal from trauma too. Keep doing what makes you healthy & happy.
Can we say that you’ve added a pinch of awesomeness? I do believe so!
I think you can say that Tedra! Thank you so much
Bravo for finding healthy a coping mechanism, as opposed to drugs or some deadly addiction. Great work.

When you were pouring this piece it reminded me of the kaleidoscope we used to look through as kids.
The Bob Ross of Acrylic Pouring😊! Your joy in creating is palpable and inspiring! The results were stunning!
I'm doing very well today. I hope you are too. This is just gorgeous! Impossible to tell that it wasn't a bunch of expensive paint. Beautiful!

Thanks so much!!! Have a great week!!
The soft and subtle effect makes this look posh even though it as cheap.
Incredible! It reminds me of. The shifting colors of opals
I love it. I bet it would look awesome under a black light. That neon yellow will really pop.
I love when you leave empty space. it means you still have room in your heart
Thank You so much 💕 I love how it turned out and the whole process. What a gift to find this today, my 63rd birthday 🎉

I'm a fan of "cheap stuff". Lol. I've been a self taught artist all my life. Most of what I know now is from utube. I could never afford classes or the expensive products that so many beautiful artists use. Like I said I'm a fan of the cheap stuff n will tweek everything until I'm happy with the results. Most of what I've learned with acrylic pouring which I've only been doing 5 years is from watching ur videos! I have only ever used the cheap craft paints n I can say I've never had a problem using them. At 1st I had alot of cracking but ur videos helped. Thank u so much for all u have taught me!!
You are brilliant!! I've seen several artist do paint pouring and you have methods I have not seen. Genius!!!!
Thank you for your positivity and encouragement You are brave, creative, genuine and talented.
"So feakin.pretty y'all!"
I love watching you create such wonderful art, & I love listening to you talk! It's obvious you are a top guy.. Thank you for sharing your work on RUclips..
Inspiring thank you for sharing, i watch all your videos and you're right we all can't afford expensive mediums now, thanks for the alternative options. Art is my escape and helps me cope with my trauma.
I have to admit that I would normally shy away from the colour combination you used in this turorial, but I am wrong: the outcome is simply splendide ! So, thank you and thank you for accepting to demonstrate that acrylic that is less expensive produces such a beautiful result as well.
Ok, J I have been wanting to see someone use paint that I can buy. I have looked at the pro-paints and just can't do it. At 68, I am on a fixed income and just don't have the money. But I can find these paints and a small canvas. Now I can not only watch, but I can try some things myself.....thank you, thank you. J you are awesome....
Love the end result, it's amazing. I've moved up to the more costly paints lately but still have a large collection of craft paints which I use too. I think they are generally under rated as you've just proved. Some amazing results can still be obtained even if the paint is not top notch. Thanks for this video.
Love the result! Amazing color choices! Your explanation of reasons for cracking and all experiences you pass on to us are so valuable. Thank you for sharing, your an awesome teacher! 👍
This was so beautiful. I've seen these paints at Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree but never expected them to do so well.
I'm about to start gathering materials to start learning fluid art painting so this will save me a ton of money during the learning period.
Your painting couldn't have been more timely for me. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
This was my first time watching you,and you answered a question i have asked many channels with no reply, about cracking and you explained why in a way i understood straight away, so ive subscribed and look forward to watching your other videos, thankyou.
Yep. Trauma is how I became a good vocalist and creator. We love you.
Holy cow, that's beautiful! I don't think I'm artistic at all, and have never been able to paint, but I think I can do this! Thank you so much for sharing your work.
As individuals, we grow in our times of adversity. As social creatures we connect in those times as well. Feel free to share with us, but only what and when you're comfortable. Know that we love your art and when/if you're ready to tell us your story we will listen with open ears and open hearts. Thanks for being you and doing what you do!
So true Jana, I appreciate it and look forward to sharing the story with you all when I am ready. Until then WE PAINT!!
You have been successful beating the challenge given to you. Those colors together show your talent and creativity. You brought mixtures of the four colors that "dance a garden ballet." Using the flower 🌼 🌸 cookie cutters made a huge flower pattern with zillions of cells and minute changes in colors.
You did great, so beautiful, I would love to see it dry.
💖👩🎨🎨🖌🌟🎊💫🍀🌸🦓🤗🥄Liz
I always appreciate your positive attitude! And you never seem to disappoint us with your creativity.
If I used these colors together I’d have mud, this is absolutely gorgeous!
Jan you can do it! Give it a try :)
This piece is definitely one of my favorites in your collection! I love everything about it!😊
Sweet! Try Dawn dish liquid, too. Glue All, Dawn, water, paint was my first mixture for pouring medium and still go to it semi regularly, even though I have silicone now, and Floetrol, and wood conditioner. I can't afford better paints either, only Amsterdam in titanium and a black one. All my other works are with the other mixtures.
Loved your video. Love that you talked about cost and how to to be cost-effective.
I'll be darned! Craft paints!! I am so glad you created such beauty to share with us. I can't wait to try it out, but I have to wait as I do my painting out side, in MI. We all have our demons and most veterans who served after WWII will not talk. I noticed when I took my dad to the Veterans meetings and of my friends who served in Vietnam. And that's ok. Serving in a war changes you and I will be here for you if you need to talk. This was an AMAZING creation..thanks..
I find painting very calming happy and it relaxed you
FYI, for fun, mix your glue / water like you did here and then try tempura paint. I have been experimenting with that and I get some beautiful stuff. And it’s cheap, you get quite a lot for your money. Just another less expensive way to explore pour painting on a tight budget. Love the painting you did here!
I love your colors and patient pouring..never got your results when I was rush pouring... still watching and learning👍 pandemic bought Walmart /target paint. How can without center ring and glue?? Thanks 🙏 love your art Maryeonmaui
I started with craft paints and got some amazing cells and I would recommend them for anyone starting out. I still use them when I want to try a new technique they are good for experiments.
Love your choice of colors. So pretty!! Thanks for sharing this with us.
PS: only share your personal stories when your ready. Your awesome!! Have a wonderful day,!! 😊
Wow, that is just gorgeous. I honestly had a small amount of doubts in the beginning. But im happy to say i was totaly wrong. This is just another one of your beautiful works.
Thankyou for your knowledge am new to pouring paint and have been having trouble with cracking on the canvas. What I Did It On the wood did fine. I think I learned that my paint is not consistent. Thankyou
Wonderful!
Blows me away. I have a small glass top table I have thinking to experiment. You just solve my thinking of what to do. Thank you Joyce
Really love this Johnny! Came out much better than I thought it would. The color combo is fantastic. Keep ‘em coming.
Very pretty! I love pouring but I am on a very limited income so I have always had to use the cheaper acrylic paints. There are many range of colors at Wal-Mart and it's good that those of us who have to watch our pennies can still have fun and cover our walls with crazy abstracts and pours! I am glad you have found this way of dealing with all the mountains and valleys of life. I use crafts along with my deep faith in God and that combination makes for a joyful life even when the bad things slam into me.
I was feeling artistic but not inspired. NOW I am inspired! 💕 I love your channel and how you talk 😊👍🏼 Edit: This hasn’t been the best emotional day…. This helped 😊
WOW that turned out incredibly!!! Never feel like you're making a mistake by letting people know that you had to work your way through a difficult time will bring anyone down! I'm working my way through brain cancer and I haven't even done ,y first painting yet but watching the videos of the many artists on youtube has helped me immensely,!!!
I love watching you. Your paintings are Beautiful....Thank you for explaining every step. It really helps.
When I first started, all I used was craft paint. Rarely had a cracking problem, but I used them to embellish the pieces when I did. This piece is gorgeous. That green is so vibrant.
For years I was a faux finisher by trade and I know finishes and sugar that is beautiful and and for years people look fir people who are genuine like you to share time with thank you f or sharing yours with mine
I was in love with all of it but your first spin I was all in!!! Beautiful ❤️
thanks for sharing ✨
Thanks so much!!
Radical! Such a gorgeous explosion of color! I started my fluid art journey to help me through a traumatic knee injury and the depression that ensued. I'm a very busy diy renovator and I've never been knocked out of the game before. It was devastating. Fluid art taught me so much about myself. I can appreciate wanting to keep things positive, you have to cuz theres no where to go from the bottom but up! Thank you!
I am brand new to this type of art. I love it so far. I am kinda in a bad space in my life. I needed to feel joy and happiness again. I came across your channel and can't stop watching. Thank you for your devotion of time and knowledge. ❤
Beautiful colors and I am obsessed with how many cells u get! My heart feels u and what it took for u to get to this place of peace. God has taken your ashes and turned them into beauty. May God continue to bless u and use u to bring others peace and light. Thank u for ur service.🥰
I have depression and anxiety. My mom just passed. I needed a new craft but was leary of painting. Then I found folks like you that teach it. You explain very well and I can't wait to try this! Thanks.
I can definitely understand there's definitely a lot of negativity in the world hopefully my comment will help you put your perspective out there because you are not alone I have felt alone for so long I have been dealing with domestic violence and I'm getting ready to face my abusers in court I've been homeless for 4 years because of this living in a vehicle when I do have the chance of the opportunity I love to use paint pouring as a stress reliever anxiety reliever and it helps me deal with my severe PTSD as well so I hope you know that you are not alone and what you are dealing with there are others out there just like you painting helps me no matter what kind of form it is thank you for sharing your paint pouring art with us and with me
Works and looks great❣️🙌🏻
Amazing, Johnny! I love your art 🎨
And I have 100% respect for you.
I can't stop watching what you do! All paintings are great! Greetings from Poland ;)
Wowser! Awesome colors and cells! I myself have had good luck with craft paints. Think i might just give this a go myself! Peaceful painting! Good job!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for actually reading and acting on the comments your followers leave. Most youtube artists act like they care about comments, but don't really ever act on the suggestions. This is the first time I have watched you and I'm definitely hooked.
I love your channel and your art. I've been watching a lot of paint pouring videos and am seriously thinking about trying it. I've done many different kind of crafts over the years and love being creative. I've never thought of it as therapeutic but having lost my beloved husband this last April to cancer I'm feeling the need for some creative therapy and this looks like something I could really get into. Plus if I could monetize it it would be a great help to my income that since I'm retired and my husband has passed has been cut more than in half.
Thanks for your tutorials. They're relaxing just to watch and I can't wait to use them while trying paint pouring myself.
The best to you. 💜✌🏻
I'm absolutely sorry about your husband.
We could collaborate on a video if you would like??
Thank you 🙏 I just got the pour painting bug, haven’t used anything expensive. I didn’t understand my new obsession this art. I am not artistic but have made a few nice pictures. I believe type of art has this helped me with life ❤
So beautiful, thank you for this video with simple paints!
My pleasure Trudy 😊
It turned out beautiful! I purchase paint from dollar store to practice, they’ve turned out awesome. Thank you!
I also love your art and I've really only used the cheaper product's ( I'm pensioner on tight budget) and being beginner it's a great way to learn without feeling you can't afford it 👍 this is much appreciated dear 🙏👵🇭🇲
Hi J Mo, I am doing well. Thanks for asking. How are you doing? I saw another one of your videos where you shared the ups and downs of your life. I appreciate just how raw your feelings and emotions are and have been during this journey. Thank you for your service to your country. Service men and women don't get enough recognition for their service. I too find painting to be a joy, when it turns out 😂 but that's the ups and downs of being creative. What type of work do you do, now that you've left the army? I love your work, J Mo, and look forward to seeing more of your creations. With love from, Gina Mac of Queensland, Australia. 😊🙏❤️🇦🇺🐨🎨
So cool with glue and craft paint!!! You have so much patience in your pouring!!! Love your work and effort, and your journey to healing.
Thank you so much for your support of this passion of mine! It is my therapy thats for sure
I really appreciated that you showed us with just regular craft paint. This encourages me! Thank you very much. The painting turned out wonderful. And I love and appreciate your kindness and gentleness !! I wish you well ☺
Like your personal journey, you give life to paint colours that brighten a day.
So gorgeous! Those colors are perfection together 💛💜💖
Absolutely love this. I use a lot of different kinds of paints. Love the craft paints when I need to budget!
We have used Walmart craft paint, floetrol, and water. They turn out really good.
I am glad to hear it Janet! Thank you for sharing your experiences as well!
I think the amazing paintings you do are gorgeous and your genuine kindness, caring and precious spirit to help those that are in need of reassurance make you that 1special person that people feel they can reach out to. I just want to say Thank You For The Sacrifices You Made For People You Don't Even Know but You Were Willing To Make Sure They Were Safe.. I just want to tell you, you have no idea how much you have helped me by reassuring that everything will be ok.
May God Bless You and Always Keep You Safe 🙏
It’s nice to see you enjoying the pour paint.
I bet your painting to let your feelings come out.
You paint with a lot of feelings.
You can use oil, dish soap, DW40 oil, alcohol.
From Lott Texas 😊❤
I'm new here. I started pouring a few days ago after watching you. I'm still learning and several pieces look like crud. But I'm going to keep going. Thank you..you are inspiring
Thank you for your information about your thank God you find a outlet that help you I sometimes get depressed and I am doing a little painting just learning color makes me happy
Thank you for sharing your gift. I love your artistry.
After a life with a few to many down, I cracked 1 1/2 year ago after my son beat cancer. 25 months of treatment.
Now I'm on sickleave with possible PTSD!
The first time I "found out" about acrylic pouring was on Instagram, just a month or two ago.
I've made 3 paintings and used the leftover paint on a figurine.
Love your videos. Very informative and beautiful artwork
I love the colors. I like your ideas. Thank you for the inspiration.
Glad you like them!
