I've only added a small amount of the Liquitex with my floetrol, but now I'll have to have an experiment with just the Liquitex pouring medium like you did here and see what happens. I do feel like the paintings are stickier when they are dry when I add it so that's why I haven't just used it up until now. Well, that and the cost.

@@pennymccracken9079 thank you, Penny. This is something I want to try also - use Floetrol and Liquitex in one mixture. And yes, I wish the Liquitex PM wasn't that pricey
My experience is still limited with pouring mediums so I’m sure other people might say more about this than me. I usually only use the liquitex pouring medium with floetrol. I don’t really like the liquitex by itself, it tends to require a lot more fussing around and it’s really not good for the effects I try to get. Now having said that, whenever I use it together with floetrol, it starts to set faster than just using floetrol. The liquitex is very good for holding the shape of the rings. If I want to make sure that there are less cells I can use less floetrol and more liquitex pouring medium. My favourite thing about liquitex pouring medium is that it makes everything very glossy and smooth, plus it helps immensely to prevent cracking and crazing.
Thank you for sharing! I'm surprised to hear that liquitex is good for shape holding, cause I has completely opposite results, but I guess it's all about finding the right consistency and ratio. Thank you!
I like that you posted the real deal experience. People who try to do it and don't get a great result right off the bat, might think they have failed, and then give up. Acrylic pouring is an experimental process and therefore there are no real failures; just learning experiences.
100% agree with you! And I actually enjoy every little bit of it, all the experiments, trials, errors, and learning curves!
Definitely!!
I agree with you SO much! Most of these videos only show great results. Everything went according to plan and the end result is fabulous. Then when I try and it fails, I get a bit shaken. It's so good to see a video where the results are not what they wanted. The thing that I love about Olga is the fact that she explains why she does things and what might happen if you don't so something (or you do something). I always learn so much when I watch her.
I appreciate you showing us the difference Not everyone has the extra money . Thank you so much for sharing. It means alot
Look in home depot oops paint for bargains . Some of it they can tint too
As someone just beginning their pouring adventure, this was so valuable for me. To see the differences is great. Thank you for sharing your lemons 😍
Thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful 🍋😀😄
I especially liked the first pour with Liquitex, especially how the colors moved so unpredictably that they made waves and ripples. Just lovely. Sometimes we stumble onto something unintentionally satisfying.
thank is true! And it can be quite challenging to accept the beauty even if something goes not according to the plan.
I liked the first one as well it kinda draws you to the painting
I think that first one, even if was a mistake, is still really cool looking! ❤️
Sista Soby, the way you explain what is going on with the paint of the paintings lets me know that there is a serious science to this art. I am in WOW of you.
Thank you for kind words Andre❤️
The honesty of this video has really impressed me. I have so much respect for you, that you're willing to show us not only the pretty pictures but also the sometimes not-so-pretty reality of being an artist. As one of my favorite RUclips artists says, you're punching perfectionism in the face -- and that's what earned my subscription to your channel 💜💜💜
Olga, thank you so much for posting this. I totally understand the disappointment you felt but you really have helped a bunch of us by doing this.
As someone who is wanting to do this form of art, this was so very educational. Thanks for being willing to be so vulnerable to help newbies!
I just started this week, and I’ve been using Liquitex Pouring Medium, wondering why my paintings don’t look like the awesome pours that inspired me to try... thank you for showing me that I’m not the only one getting this result. I thought I was just doing something wrong.
Thank you for your honesty. I've been having a lot of unsuccessful pours lately and this have me hope.
Perfectly explained! 👏👏👏 my mix is Floetrol, small amount of PVA, even smaller amount of Liquitex PM and bits of water. This is my go to mix for my basic pours. I use different combinations for more advanced type pours. Do I want cells or no cells. Do I want paint to blend or not blend. What I have found is that Artist mediums are generally some type of gloss coating. And can be used as such, like Liquitex PM. Where Floetrol is not an Artist medium just a conditioner and paint color extender. Liquitex changed some of their labeling, (Gina Deluca), on some of their mediums to include Pouring Medium on the Label, where it used to say Gloss and Varnish Pouring Medium, now just say Pouring Medium. I've found a little of each gives me the best results, keeping in mind that I cannot leave too much paint on the canvas when using Floetrol in the mix. I hope a lot of people see this! 👍
Excellent explanation! Thank you, Diane. Only I have both Liquitex PM and Liquitex Gloss Medium and Varnish, and I would say they are different mediums, even tho some properties are the same.
I am going to try a "complex" mixture with a little bit of everything and see how that works 😀
Thank you Olga. Most of us are nervous to show our fails to anyone but you are right when you say that to only show the brilliant pours isn't the ideal way to showcase this form of art. We are all learning and your generous sharing of brilliant pours and a few fails is very helpful and I for one appreciate that. Thank you so much for sharing this experiment. Send a bit of your warm weather here to NSW Australia as it is mid winter here and very cold at the moment and has been wet too recently.
Hi Nita, thank you so much 💓 I agree with you, and I believe in honesty, and I think it's the best way to learn if we all share not only our success but also the mistakes to learn from. And I'm sending you some warm weather and sunrays in exchange for a nice cool breeze😄😀
So glad you decided to show us everything-a good teacher is willing to do that-not let their egos get in the way. Good decision to show us ALL! Thanks.
You are most welcome!😊
I'm just beginning to try my hand at this type of painting. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us! Love your end results!
Thank you! I love seeing different experiments! So fun! Have a great week!
That’s what I like about you so humble and fluent natural not always seeking perfectionism & that encourages me always to give a try to several stuff and feel good on whatever the results will be ❤️
I really appreciate that you show and explain the failures. It makes it less daunting to try things as a new pouring artist. You are fantastic. Looking forward to all your future creations. 😊♥️
thank you so much, this means a lot!
Olga, you are a great personality and teacher. Thanks for all your videos.
I love that you even share the ones you aren't happy with! It is actually encouraging.
THANK YOU soooooo much for posting this video, although it’s been a year and nine months since you’ve tried these three separate techniques I appreciate you showing us all of your BEAUTIFUL work and also showing us this video of the Fails. I am a professional beauty makeup artist, but new to this form of Artwork (and a new subscriber to your channel) and I must say that this video has given me hope that all is not lost, and for me to just keep on trying. Again thanks for posting.
Thank you for sharing! Try using different paint brands and maybe mixing paint and water only and see how that works for you😉 Maybe you'll like it better than pouring medium😊
I love the way you explain the processes and why you get the results that you do. Thank you for doing these experiments.
You’re such an inspiration especially for beginners like myself 😍👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
This video is extremely valuable to those of us just starting. Thanks for sharing all of your mistakes as well as your successes!! That's what makes this video an amazing learning experience
We love that you showed the successes and the failures this way we know what not to do thank you so much because this is part of learning and we need to know this. God bless you and please keep teaching as you are such a wonderful teacher Olga
You are so welcome, Lisa!😉
That was a great experiment to watch. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I appreciate it, Vicky! Thank you for checking it out!
Thank you so much for this video. I agree with showing "mistakes" as well the successes. I am just beginning to experiment with this technique and I have experimented with many different painting techniques...so I understand that having problems is a huge part of the learning process as well as when you feel you are an "expert"! I truly enjoy YOU and your videos!!
Thank you so much! This was so informative. I'm glad you chose to let us see the real deal. I don't think I've learned more from a comparison video. And the explanation at the end taught me what to look for, too. Truly enriching!
Thanks so much for your honesty and teaching all you learned!
I appreciate you showing imperfect pours. I learn more and it makes me feel better knowing you have to fix your art too.
Glad it was helpful, Diane!😊
Thanks for being willing to show things that don’t work out. Very helpful!
I really appreciate your honesty. I've learned more from my failed pours than from my successful pours. Good work! I look forward to your next video ☺
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! That is true. we learn on the mistakes the best, in fact, all of my best artworks are results of trials and errors :)
Thank you Olga for teaching us so much 🌷
This video is exactly why I love watching all your videos, you show us all the things that not only work, more importantly how you fix and make things work for you, I really need to find the time to watch your older videos too. Thank you so much for sharing everything💞you are an amazing teacher!!! 💞🦋
You are most welcome, Gege!😊
Olga, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and talent with us...
Thank you SO much for sharing these "failures." By doing so, you enabled us to learn ever so much more than we possibly could have if everything had turned out ideally.
Oh Olga, youve done it again. Every tutorial is informative and this experiment was really well planned and presented. So grateful for your efforts. I'm in Australia and only recently started my paint pouring journey! Addicted! Lobe your videos, your website and your talent! Awesome lemonade! 😃
Hi there, wow thank you so much for such amazing comment! Totally made my day 😊 Looking forward to seeing your pouring experiments in the group!
Showing everything allows people the opportunity to learn from your mistakes. Anyone can edit to come up with just the right looks and "perfect" finishes but it takes someone brave to show it all. Good for you for being brave.
thank you, Warren!
thanks for sharing your experimentes
Thank you for checking it out, Maria!
I swear you know exactly how to handle a unhappy pour. I've had a few problems & have been very upset w/ myself, I ordered flotrol from Amazon yesterday. So hopefully it will improve my pours, but I wanted to say thank you for your honesty 🙏😊. I appreciate your candor I needed to see someone like you (so talented & naturally artistic) have a little trouble with it. Yes please do more experiments its great fun! Yeah & thank you ❤
Thank you so much, Reyna!😊
Your teaching, presentation & editing are the best I’ve seen! The choice of music is good & it doesn’t overpower the presentation. Seeing your studio adds lots of color, your speak very articulate & precise. You sound like you are speaking to an audience not just yourself. The two different camera views really lift your presentation & keep it from becoming boring. You are a true Talent & Profession !
Thank you for such amazing feedback! 🥰
Thank you for the experiment. Really worth exploring. Thank you .
Absolutely worth it! Trials and errors for the best results in future :)
You are awesome Olga. Thank you so much - explains alot and your honesty is well appreciated. :)
💓 thank you, Mandy! I believe in honesty, and I think it's the best way to learn if we all share not only our success but also the mistakes to learn from.
Your honesty is so refreshing! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!😉
A very instructive video. Thanks for showing us this experiment.
Thank you for today’s lesson, very helpful
Most welcome, Pam! And thank you for checking it out!
Very helpful, thanks for sharing!!
I'm happy to hear it was helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this information! It was so helpful!
Very nice of you to show us your ‘fails’ not only successful results. I appreciate it so much. Thank you👍
thank you, Lana. Honestly, I was quite nervous to do that but so happy to see that it actually helps!
Your "fails" are quite beautiful. I guess beauty truly is in the eyes of the beholder.
BRAVO! I have learned soooo much from your experimental pours. You are such a valuable teacher and truly beautiful person. Very patient and very passionate regarding your work.
This was a Great pour, I learned So much! Thank you thank you! Much appreciated 🙏
Very well presented and thought out tutorial. Lots of good information despite the pours not working out as you had hoped. Thanks for the time and effort you put in to your videos :).
Thank you so much for this feedback! It means a lot, and I'm glad that it's helpful! 💓
Thank you so very much Olga! Learnt so much more from this video than the 'successful' others.
Really? Well, this means a lot to me, I'm gonna consider to share a lot more experiments in the future! Thank you 💓
Love & obsessed with the first one.
Really appreciate your sharing of experiments. Learning from my failures.
Love this video and am so glad you shared! We’ve all got to learn.
Hi Olga, I too loved this experiment...we humans learn far better the hard way. It usually stays in our minds longer. So you actually saved us lots of paint and time to find these answers before they were questions in our minds, and mostly you saved us lots of materials. This IS all new to many of us, so we have to realize (remind ourselves) we are learning and we shouldn’t expect “perfection”. My personal opinion is that it doesn’t exist. Once we stop striving for “Perfect” I believe we will be much less stressed and therefore become better with the task and more realistic with our feelings after we complete a task. Who’s with me?
I'm totally with you on this one! Perfection is a lie, and I try to remind my self about it pretty often. Especially with art like pouring😊
Just watched this video today-your artistic technique has developed so much since then. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
You are so welcome!
Great, informative video. Thank you so much!
So glad that you liked it! Thank you!
I love the videos when I'm learning why I get it wrong. I really appreciate you sharing this Olga...
Dear Olga, I am sure someone has pointed it out, but I will say it too: the Liquitex looks like a blue eagle in front of a fire or like a monster. So it might be a keeper.
And thank you so much for running this experiment! It is so important that someone who has consistent experiment conditions can test one parameter at a time. You are a perfect scientist of the acrylic pouring method!
All the best to you! From Russia with love and appreciation.
Thank you so much, Sasha! I love your vision of eagle and fire! it's super cool!💖
Great comparison! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for checking it out, Chris!
Brilliant and true representation. Fantastic video
thank you so much, Melissa, means a lot!
Thank you for being vulnerable and showing us when things do not work perfectly. It is reassuring that these things happen to everyone when they are learning!
You are most welcome!😊
This is invaluable for us beginners thank you!
We all have days like you did . I loved this video. It made me feel much better about not always getting the results I expected.
Thank you Olga. It is very helpful to have videos like this. I have not been getting the results that I was and watching this reminded me to go back to the beginning and work my way forward. You are a wonderful help.
Thank you, Dawn! This is 100% true it all start with the base, and for me it's probably the right mixture and consistency 😊
Finally! I've been having the same exact issues with the liquitex pouring medium and it's so refreshing seeing it's not just me
I love your videos. I learn along with you. So grateful to you!
Appreciate you for this demonstration though it was not that as you anticipated. This happens for newbies like me. Totally encouraging. Thank you Olga.
I just love it!
It’s like getting used to a new oven! Everything is different. A very helpful tutorial - thank you.
Yes 100% true! Takes some practice first (and maybe read the instruction too lol)
I really appreciate your experiments and putting this video out there. I have been doing acrylic pouring for a couple of months and I've been having problems with my consistencies and ratios and poring mediums and getting cracks and crazing. I almost gave up as well but I know that I'm learning something from all of this and I learned a lot from your video for my next attempt!
This was a very good experiment - you analyzed what went wrong as well as what went right. Great job! I also like the simplicity of just water so it is good to know the dos and don'ts.
Thanks I love your amazing ideas .
Thanks for sharing...this is how we all learn! 😊
You are awesome! Thank you SO much for putting these videos out here! I’m just starting to learn how to pour and I am learning so much from you! So glad to have found ya🥰
I'm happy to hear that, Jenni! 🥰
Thank you for your tutorial!
Great information! Thank you for taking the time to do the experiment.
You're most welcome, Kathy!
Very informative, REAL DEALS!, and very interesting! Really got a lot out of this! Need more pouring !! Thank you!
Thank you, Joe-Anna! I'm happy to hear that!
Thank you so much for doing this!
Thank you for sharing this experiment, it will be much help for me.
And I'm absolutely happy to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you for teaching me what to do as well as what not to do. Your videos are fantastic.
Glad you like them, Sharon! 😊🤗
It really helps to see this because I've learned why some of my paintings came out the way they did! Do more!
Happy to hear that!💖
Love love love this video. The best lessons are learnt from experiments that don’t always work out. This was PACKED with tips and nuggets. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Glad it was helpful!😊
Thank you for your sincerity
Thank you so much Olga 😊😊
I have been wanting to try pouring techniques for a while and have been too chicken to try! Today while battling COVID at home, I found your channel and I cannot stop watching! I love that you explain what you’re doing and why and that you take the time to show us different mediums and pouring techniques!!! I think it’s time for me to jump in and give this a shot!! Thank you for inspiring me to try something new.
Yes please make more videos like this one maybe one where you have equal ratio of paint and medium and do same as you did here. Liquitex, water and floetrol. Thanks so much i learn so much when you do these. Great job.
Thank you so much, Julie!😊
Sooo much great info in this video! Thank you for posting this... You saved many of us from some major issues here. I am not only learning but enjoying your positive energy very much!
I feel so encouraged by you. Stay lifted Olga! 😊
You are so welcome, William! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, William Dunnagan! 💖🤗
@@OlgaSoby I have been out of art for many years and I have attempted to get back into it over the last year. I have had 3 unsuccessful attempts and I took the bad results to heart, unable to try again immediately. I have watched many videos of you making the prettiest artwork and you make it look so effortless. This video reminds me that even "our teachers or inspirations" have bad days. It is so important that new artists learn this and that old artists be reminded of this. I can tell you were upset but you kept your spirits up and explained every "happy little accident" in great detail. Thank you again for posting this video. You are always a breath of fresh air to me!!
I am staring at my jug of Floetrol right now. I am new to this medium. Maybe today is the day...💖
Thank you for doing this. Very helpful information,
Very helpful suggestions. Thank you.
The Liquitex ones are my absolute favorite!!
Thanks for doing this experiment for us. Saves us lots of time and money.
I love your trials I've leant alot from them. Thanks
Great to hear!
Your energy, your honesty and your kindness is just amazing. It means a lot for me. Thank you for teaching as a friend, with up and downs I'm learning a lot and... with confidence in myself...
Thank you for the compliments, Martha!😊💖
Thank you so much! As a very new pourer, this information is vital!!! I just watch a ton of videos, and hope for the best. Thanks for letting us know, that not all pours are going to go well!
You are most welcome! And also if you are new to this, I highly recommend checking out my website, I share a lot of info there smartartmaterials.com/
It's well appreciated for us the beginners, that you show that not all of the paintings are perfect because most of videos we watch everything it's perfectly done and if we don't see this kind of things we get frustrated so, BRAVO 👏👏👏👏
