*NEW BEGINNERS VIDEO* Here is my latest version of this video with even more explanation of everything you need to know to get started - ruclips.net/video/XIxqCIJ88b0/видео.html
@@tracysavage599 I always put a varnish on to give it some shine and to add dust and UV protection. Some enamels work you have to test with your paints and mediums.
❤❤😮 Thank Yoou!! I've been searching you are right there's only one other acrylic fluid Artist that sorta teaches you, but it doesn't break it down, Ive gotten many ideas from Fluid Acrilic Pours for my Organic Soap Making, however I do not have the money for floetrol and all that other stuff so trying to make something very special for my mom. She just had a baseball-sized tumor removed and it was diagnosed with 4th stage lung cancer and I want to have it done by the time she gets back from her Radiation Treatment, and all my $ goes towards medical expenses for her..However I know everyone feels the pinch these days..I Just wanna do a Good Job..I have my Canvas, my acrylics, but no pouring Mediums or Laquer..So, Ty❤❤
You're the first artist that truly explains the way a beginner can follow and understand. Thank you so much for making these videos! I am so glad I found you. You rock!
Thank you so very much for explaining for us, who love acrylic pouring for beginners! I love ❤️ this kind of art, and would like to try this. Greetings from Utah, and thank you again for your easy to understand instructions. I am very excited to start.
😄😅😆 I just love ya'll in the Pouring Nation. You really do need to set a time and get your first one done. You thought you were addicted before, just wait till after!
Wow! David I wish I found you when I first started, although only 2 weeks ago. I bought stuff I didn’t need. For being a beginner! Your awesome. Thank you!💕
You are a natural teacher. I was getting frustrated feeling like I was getting nowhere because I was just watching professional artists like yourself, but they did not break it down like you. Thank you for sharing.
Best extreme beginning vid I've seen! I almost choked on my coffee when he started with "I know you've been watching videos. It's time to actually do it." or something like that. :) Too bad I just ordered my paint. I'll be back soon!
OMG HE TOTALLY NAILED ME WITH THE INTRO!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay Now that I've watched the whole thing, I'd like to compliment you on not just your teaching skills, but you are such an encourager!! I've been dragging my feet, but now I'm going to just jump on in!!! Thank You! 😃👍🏻💥💫
Enjoy your teaching. I am an oil painter. Learning to pour. What a challenge! I have a tip or cheap canvases. Spay the back with water let dry it will shrink the canvas and make it tight. Hope this is useful...Anne
Are you a fly on my wall? I have watched dozens of your videos, bought everything I need, yet haven't taken the plunge. Came across this video...and TODAY is the day! you have encouraged me to stop watching and start doing. Thank you, truly.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Did 3 pours on paper, looks pretty bad, but as you always say- I learned things...and at least I got over the hump. Can't get elmer's glue in my country, so bought ridiculously expensive pouring medium, but also bought cheap clear glue. I learned that you can use cheap glue, don't need the expensive stuff. That was a valuable lesson!
Where in the heck were you a year ago when I was attempting to learn from the big guns, which was all I could find?...but seriously, thank you for the thoughtful way you teach, not missing anything!. You are not only tall with very long arms 😜, but you are also a very good teacher 🍎
TODAY WAS THE DAY!!! I mixed my paint, i grabbed a canvas and gave it a try... 9 pours later I have paintings everywhere and no room to do anything now!!! LOL. It is soooooo easy and fun and addictive as all heck! Thanks for the great informational video!!
@@LeftBrainedArtist Yes, yes I did. I woke up 2 hours before I needed to this morning and instantly thought about it. i got up shortly after and poured two more. went and bought more supplies today.. hahahahahaha!!!!
Here’s a tip that works great for me and maybe for others as well. I keep a few large cups on my table. One for pink/purple, one for blue/green, one for gray/black…you get the idea. Then when I scrape my canvas or table top, or even the last drops in my mixing cups, I put that into my large cups. You’d be surprised at the beautiful colors! Now I always have “free” paint for my base coats and flow extenders. Have also used them to fix sides of the canvas. No waste!!
They last a long time. Months. I cover them with plastic wrap secured with a rubber band. I don’t use silicone and all are mixed with floetrol and some have a bit of liquitex pm as well. Some are metallic and some regular acrylic. Always the cups turn into a pretty metallic color. Funny that I’ve been doing this for a long time and have never turned my cup to mud! Sometimes I’ll pour a little into a small cup and use it in a pour.
The difference between you and other artists is , they don't show the preparations while you did show step by step. It actually came to my attention that the paints are mixed with glue and some water of which in so many videos that's not showed. I've learnt something
You're right, I have been binge watching but this is hands down the best one I've watched too learn what to do, also it's the first one I've watched that didn't say to cover the canvas in a white paint first, thanks so much for the help😊
You are an amazing teacher. You took it right to the basics and explained and demonstrated everything very clearly. As you said, I have bought all the tools I need and watched many videos, but it's your teachings that have given me the confidence to attempt it now. Thank you for the reminder to note everything down, too. Thank you..Thank you...Thank you.
This is the best tutorial I've seen! Thanks for sharing HOW MUCH of each paint ingredient to use! Going to attempt to do this with nine-year-olds at a birthday party!
Wow…..you made it easy to follow AND so encouraging that I really feel I can take that first step. Where have you been this last year when I’ve watched other artists on my phone?
I am very grateful to you for doing this video. I'm a noob - and because of this video I finally did it. I've done 16 pours in a couple of weeks - and finally got one I like! But it takes doing it - like anything in life you just have to jump in. Thank you!
YAY Reenie! Glad you got going and that you already love one of your paintings. We are always hardest ourselves to so make sure you ask some trusted people what they think before you go scraping or throwing things away.
Thank you very much for the explanation of how thick the color should be. I have never understood what everyone is looking at, when they see the color fall into the cup. Now I am so inspired and now I will finally dare to paint❤️
Okay... gotta say this vid made me laugh out loud because it described me to a tee! I binge watched videos. I bought supplies that sat in a corner of my house while I watched more videos. But I saw this today, and you convinced me today was the day. I did my first pour, and while I'm not unhappy with the results, I learned a ton with my first attempt! I My paint was a little too thick, and I think I'll try a bit more silicon oil and pay a bit more attention to using stronger contrast with the colors I use. Bottom line though is I really enjoyed the process, and I want to try it again, which I believe was the point of the video! Thanks for the encouragement!
Hi! I've just watched your video and I'm SOOOOO PLEASED that I did. I've been watching loads of other artists and only just stumbled onto your channel. Thank goodness I did because I'm really impressed with how you have explained everything to us viewers. It's definitely the best video I've seen for the complete novice looking to start their own paint pouring journey! Thank you so much, all the way from the UK! 😊
I been wanting to do this for awhile, but didn't how to get started until came across your video. Thank you so much for explaining it well for a beginner like me. 👍🏻
I’m brand new (still haven’t done my first pour) and I’m binge watching your videos. I really appreciate the analytical approach you use. I’ve learned so much today despite having spent months watching other channels.
@@LeftBrainedArtist went to my paint area and did my first pour! Thanks for the nudge. Didn’t turn out as I expected but learned some valuable lessons for the next pour. Only bought that canvas 5+ years ago 🤪
@@cindyg1125 Good on you Cindy!! Great to see another complete newbie around! If you see my earlier comment you will see that I did my first just recently and failed miserably! I am gearing up to try again so lets just keep at it!! ♥️♥️
I've watched several RUclipss and read several blogs/webpages about pouring, but yours is the FIRST that mentioned a level. Brilliant! Now I don't have to learn that trick only after making one or more disasters - thank you!
Done and done. Son is in his way down and we're about to have some spring break 10:30 pm paint pours. Rock and roll. Thanks my guy, that push legit did it. I've been waiting MONTHS (ok actually since quarantine when I went so fkn extra & bought enough to fill a small art shop lol). Bout dang time. Here we go.... I'm excited! 🙏🎨👩🎨🤍👨🎨🖌️🖼️
I know I'm watching this a year after you posted, but this still deserves a comment😉 I really appreciate this video! It has great info, the pours are beautiful, and you did a great job of inspiring people to just try😁 We all have a story, right? But we all need to create! I don't care if it's creating spreadsheets...but this had been a fun avenue to discover! I appreciate your videos and have watched you for over a year. Apparently, I have not caught all of them😂 I'm so glad you are still posting. I appreciate you🤗
Your awesome! Thanks for being so motivating and supportive to make me the viewer lol more confident and I finally just got all I needed and while watching you I did my first one and I'm now can't wait to do more!!! Thank you!
Was watching one of your videos last night in bed on a good pour ratio. It was like 11:30 at night. I got out of bed got all my supplies together and made the best acrylic pour I've ever done. Thank you for these videos.
How did you know I've been binge watching pour painting 🤣 okay so time to put it to practice! I'm loving your videos by the way - very helpful. Thanks heaps
I bought everything except the pouring medium and gloss varnish. Watching you pour puts me at ease. I'll be trying my first pour today. I do have Elmer's glue and silicone oil. Here goes....
Because of YOU, I just completed my first pours!! I’ve been watching videos and procrastinating with all the supplies. Here’s to more pours and hopefully learning seascape painting soon. Thank you!
Thank you! Love the way you explain EVERYTHING to where i totally could follow your just what i've been needing,now i'm going on line to order paints and glue etc. Thanks again♓😁
I am excited to have found your video! I have a couple friends that have been doing this for a couple years, but they are not good teachers 😁 You make me feel I can actually do this 😀 Gonna give it a shot! I have a blacklight room I have been wanting to desperately make cool crap for .... And I believe you have given me the tools to do that! Thank you so much... Wish me luck 🤞
Thank u for your great explanation on the mixture of paints more especially!! Painters normally do not show u how to do a mix!! I really appreciate you breaking it down to some of us that are first timers,God bless u!!
Thanks! I've been painting for a while, but I still learned some great stuff from this. I can't pour today, because my cat will complain. 😆 During lockdown he has become accustomed to have constant access to my lap. Since I paint with a large plastic tub on my sofa (what could go wrong with that) he's decided that the best option is to stare at me with big eyes until the guilt becomes to much and I have to stop painting. So, I paint every other day, to keep the peace. I did paint yesterday and you are totally right, you just have to jump in and see what happens. One of my favourites is actually one I did really early, but every pour is a learning experience, even if I end my session scraping all the paint back off the canvases. And my painting journal is my go to guide for experiments, tracking what worked and what didn't etc.
@@LeftBrainedArtist He has a huge fluffy tail that will get into things from unfathomable distances and occasionally gets in it. His thing is glitter. He loves the stuff. He always has to have some on when I have it out, and I buy my glitter by the kilo, so it's fairly often. The thing is, he's been used to me crafting from when he was young. I sit on the couch with my legs crossed up and he lies on one side and I twist and craft on the other. He could sit on my lap, but I wouldn't be giving him 101% of my attention. He is very entitled and pandered to, hence every other day is a Corvinus Day. I used to have one that would manage to walk through any kind of paint anywhere you put it and looked away for a few moments. We still have a line of white paw prints leading from the cat flap and down the front path. She also tried to stick her head in a bowl of hair dye once, but he managed to stop her, but she did have a pink flash for a bit.
@Dashing Shadowbolt, Love your art stories AND your cat stories!! I'm a beginner at this and I've posted 2 videos so far of my 2 "pour paint" attempts... and yes, my kitty, Adirah, is in the background of both videos, giving some protest that my lap is not currently available during painting time!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much for this video, I have been procrastinating about this for literaly years! I have now finally done my first pour after watching your video! I love it!! So much fun! and i got some great results.
That tree ring pour is my favorite! I love the soft look to it. Thank you for the teaching video. I watch all I see pop up. Getting the right consistency for the type pour is my biggest challenge. This helped so much.
THIS is how you do a how to video. Plus I now know how to thin a paint rather than try to thicken various paints. Today WILL BE the day I do my first paint pour, thanks.
I actually DID do my first pour earlier today! In fact, I did TWO! They were both flip cups with very different colors. I like both of them and cannot wait until they dry so I can varnish and hang them. I'm also in the IT field and enjoy your videos.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Absolutely! They're 8x10s and will work up to larger canvases soon. I bought so much paint and supplies during Amazon Prime Days! Lol.
I truly love and adore all of your videos! Although I have already tried paint pouring, it’s been a few months since my last one, and your comment the beginning of this video made me laugh out loud. I just bought everything to make my pouring tray, very inspired by that simple tip in your last couple videos I watched!
Wow I love the intro you are speaking directly to me. I'm totally caught up in bingeing on everyone else's pours and don't move to do my own. I have everything to do a pour have done a few in the past. Totally love your videos...you are direct and clear on instructions. Thank you David for this particular video. I been following the best >>> Kanella, Tammy, Olga, Mely, Mina, Masse Art Studios, Sherri, and many more! and of course you. Thank you for being here for us.
Thanks again, David, for a very informative video. You're right, I've been binge watching and planning my first pour. 😄However, being a Texan, things have come to a screeching halt as far as the completion of my little art studio. Soooo.....hopefully next week, or at the most, two weeks! I watch with anticipation for your videos to come out. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge in such an easy-to-understand way!
Thumbtacks for leveling !!! You teach me something new every day 😁 and I thought I was a good “rigger” but that’s super smart, adjust as you want. Easy Peasy Aaaand, as I like to say, “ There’s no bad pour, only the one you didn’t attempt. “ It’s sooooooo fun, ( not meant to cause concern and stress 😂 ) Everyone enjoy your pour !! Thanks again !!! ☮️💟&🦄’s
This was just great and gave me the confidence to get started. Thank you. You are an EXCELLENT instructor! I particularly appreciate how distinctly and clearly you speak, and at a rate that one can açtually absorb and uñderstand what you are saying. Thank you again. Sally
Where was this video when I first started? Excellent teaching for anyone just starting out. Thanks a lot. Really liked the tile and loved that picture you hated and covered. I was screaming at you (in my head) not to cover it ;-)
Thanks Hawk. Sorry I didn't get to it earlier but hopefully it will help some others. A little of that painting shows through now that the pour is dried. Kind of a cool effect actually. Might have to try that as a pour technique some day.
I’m learning so much from you. And by the way my paint pour containers turned out amazing. My husband drilled a hole threw each end of the PVC piping and and then the cement mixer. And zip tied the pipes on both sides. And made sure it was all level. We made two. And used 5 pipes per container. I made 6 paintings yesterday. Thank You for all the great advice and information. It’s working out so well for me.
I so appreciate your teaching style and a nice and understanding voice "without" a bunch of comedic filler. I like your L brained approach. Compliments from this Virgo
OMG. How did you know? I HAVE been binging on pouring videos, I DO have all the supplies I need. I am going to go home and do it… today. Thanks. I needed that. 😁
THANK YOU for this video! I've been just such a person, binge-watching other people's acrylic pours, but always wanting to try it for myself. We bought all the materials and then just didn't really know where to go from there. Your video was very instructive, especially about mixing the paints and helping viewers recognize the correct pouring consistencies. Our first pours may not have gone *exactly* how we wanted, but they still look pretty cool, and we have plenty of paint and canvases remaining to try again a few more times without more purchases.
You go Jenny. Isn't pouring so much fun? Just take your time, make small changes and keep track of what works and what doesn't and you'll be pouring masterpieces in no time. Also, love your failures. They make you better and should be celebrated too!
Whahahahaha..... exactly 3 seconds into your video and I'M IN LOVE!!! I LOVE YOUR HEARTY, SUPPORTIVE, ENCOURAGING WORDS, I wish you could see my table and I was seriously having an anxiety attack ~ petrified that I will screw up!!!! So..... thank you, thank you!!! From the depth of my heart for gently shoving me forward!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Soo excited to try this. Ive been thinking about looking into it, and finally started watching these today, and it looks soooo easy and fun. I have paint, canvases, and some random things around the house, so I'll need to maybe pick up a few things, but today's the day!!
I am so happy to hear that the thinking part of pouring is over for you!. Let the fun begin. I started painting out of necessity, I needed something to spark my brain out of severe PTSD. I found Sarah Mack (love her). After watching for a couple of months, I again recognized the power of colors. The rest is history!.
I've decided that you have to be an artist to do this. Not just anybody can do it. That anybody is me. All my colors run together and I end up with a poop brown canvas
Thank you so much! This is just the ‘nudge’ I needed to just get on with my first pour. I’ve just done 4 - learned a lot already! I’ve watched many ‘pouring acrylic’ videos but yours are so clear and by far the best. Thanks again.
@@LeftBrainedArtist 🤣🤣. yes I can see it becoming a bit of an obsession. Already thinking about the next ones. I guess that’s something else that I need to learn - patience.
*NEW BEGINNERS VIDEO* Here is my latest version of this video with even more explanation of everything you need to know to get started - ruclips.net/video/XIxqCIJ88b0/видео.html
Good to know! 👍🏻
Two questions for you would enamels work ? Also when your artwork is dry do you put a clear gloss over it or just leave it as is ? Thanks 😊
@@tracysavage599 I always put a varnish on to give it some shine and to add dust and UV protection. Some enamels work you have to test with your paints and mediums.
Thank you! You are a great teacher! I've never done this but it looks so creative and fun!

Glad to help Cecila. Have you started pouring yet?
@LeftBrainedArtist Yes, but I plan on practicing just simple pours first.
I agree that the instructions were spot on for me too . Being autistic, I need clear direction.
I had the same reaction to other "pour artists" - love md it but no clue how to do it! Now i learned from you!Thank you, sir😂❤
Best extreme beginning vid I've seen! I almost choked on my coffee when he started with "I know you've been watching videos. It's time to actually do it." or something like that. :) Too bad I just ordered my paint. I'll be back soon!
Let me know how it goes Lila.
I love that you tell me how much paint I need for what size base! THANK YOU
You are so welcome! Glad to help.
Where you were hiding we need more people like you that they can teach!!!! Size, measures, mishaps …. So great
Lots going on in my life at the moment but more videos to come for sure caro.

Enjoy your teaching. I am an oil painter. Learning to pour. What a challenge! I have a tip or cheap canvases. Spay the back with water let dry it will shrink the canvas and make it tight. Hope this is useful...Anne
Absolutely is helpful. Just don't dry it too fast or it will "pull" and create ripples in the corner. I learned that one the hard way.
You are a great teacher. Very clear - I'm going to try it now.
Have fun Marilyn.
Thanks! Very encouraging.

I’m brand new (still haven’t done my first pour) and I’m binge watching your videos. I really appreciate the analytical approach you use. I’ve learned so much today despite having spent months watching other channels.
Welcome aboard! But you need to start pouring right now. It is SO much more fun than watching Cindy!
@@LeftBrainedArtist went to my paint area and did my first pour! Thanks for the nudge. Didn’t turn out as I expected but learned some valuable lessons for the next pour. Only bought that canvas 5+ years ago 🤪
@@cindyg1125 Good on you Cindy!! Great to see another complete newbie around! If you see my earlier comment you will see that I did my first just recently and failed miserably! I am gearing up to try again so lets just keep at it!! ♥️♥️
I liketo learnhow to paint
I've watched several RUclipss and read several blogs/webpages about pouring, but yours is the FIRST that mentioned a level. Brilliant! Now I don't have to learn that trick only after making one or more disasters - thank you!
I like my disasters. They teach me the most. But I can totally understand being able to limit them by learning from other people.
Done and done. Son is in his way down and we're about to have some spring break 10:30 pm paint pours. Rock and roll.
Thanks my guy, that push legit did it. I've been waiting MONTHS (ok actually since quarantine when I went so fkn extra & bought enough to fill a small art shop lol). Bout dang time.
Here we go.... I'm excited!
🙏🎨👩🎨🤍👨🎨🖌️🖼️
YES! Let me know how it goes.
THANK YOU!!! I have always wanted to try this and you made it extremely easy....can't wait to get started!!!
Good luck!! Let me know how it goes Chris.
I know I'm watching this a year after you posted, but this still deserves a comment😉 I really appreciate this video! It has great info, the pours are beautiful, and you did a great job of inspiring people to just try😁 We all have a story, right? But we all need to create! I don't care if it's creating spreadsheets...but this had been a fun avenue to discover! I appreciate your videos and have watched you for over a year. Apparently, I have not caught all of them😂 I'm so glad you are still posting. I appreciate you🤗
Thanks my friend. Glad to help and I agree. Everyone needs to feel the joy from creating something.
Your awesome! Thanks for being so motivating and supportive to make me the viewer lol more confident and I finally just got all I needed and while watching you I did my first one and I'm now can't wait to do more!!! Thank you!
That is awesome! Hope you love it as much as I do.
Awesome job I am a fan now!
Thanks Steph. Glad to help.
Was watching one of your videos last night in bed on a good pour ratio. It was like 11:30 at night. I got out of bed got all my supplies together and made the best acrylic pour I've ever done. Thank you for these videos.
That is amazing to hear. So glad inspiration found you!
Watched two days ago and did my first pour tonight, it came out great and it was so much fun. One pour and I learned so much. Thanks!
Doing is by far the best teacher. So glad it is working our for you Drew.
How did you know I've been binge watching pour painting 🤣 okay so time to put it to practice! I'm loving your videos by the way - very helpful. Thanks heaps
You can do it Jo. Doing is so much more fun than watching.
That was an amazing learning video and I can't wait to do this, thank you! It helped me immensely!!
You are so welcome Beverly. I hope you have as much fun as I do.
You truly want to help people learn this technique, you’re awesome!
And now it is time for you to try your first pour if you haven't already Elaine.
Thank you for taking time to explain the way you did. You made me not to be afraid and start already enjoying and use all the supplies I have.
I am looking forward to seeing your first pours Marina.
Thank you for the video, you are such a good teacher, i am a beginner, and this was so usefull for me. Greetings from Croatia
You're very welcome Kristina. What brands of paint to you use in Croatia?
@@LeftBrainedArtist I am using Solo Goya brand of colours and pouring medium, and Royal Talens black and white
Thank you!! Just did my first pour after lurking for weeks; thanks to you!
Wonderful new Ally. I hope you loved it as much as I do.
Followed your instructions and did my first tree ring pour today ... very happy with the results!
Great job! So glad to hear that.
Yes I really like your explanation is very helpful,I’m trying to learn and I’m enjoying the way you teach thank you so much!!!
Glad to help Silvia. Thanks for watching.
Well, did I save myself some time and frustration? YES! Looking forward to teaching this to children at summer camp!
Wonderful!
Thank you, Sir Teacher! It came in handy for me now, because I started recently, and I did some bad ones. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
So glad to help Annabell. Good luck on your future pours.
You are an awesome teacher & and a great artist. This is the first video I watched from you. Now going to watch all the videos by you. Thank you!
Wow, thank you Molly. Always glad to help!
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to try this for a few years. I have finally done it and I love it.
Wonderful to hear Gina. I hope you love it as much as I do.
You are an exceptional teacher. Thank you for this clear and concise instruction. Gotta get started!
You can do it Debby!
I bought everything except the pouring medium and gloss varnish. Watching you pour puts me at ease. I'll be trying my first pour today. I do have Elmer's glue and silicone oil. Here goes....
Awesome. Let me know how it goes!
Because of YOU, I just completed my first pours!! I’ve been watching videos and procrastinating with all the supplies. Here’s to more pours and hopefully learning seascape painting soon. Thank you!
Great job! So glad to hear that. Here's to more awesome paintings.
Thank you! Love the way you explain EVERYTHING to where i totally could follow your just what i've been needing,now i'm going on line to order paints and glue etc. Thanks again♓😁
You got this Tina. The fun is in the doing for sure. Plus you learn so much more.
I am excited to have found your video! I have a couple friends that have been doing this for a couple years, but they are not good teachers 😁 You make me feel I can actually do this 😀 Gonna give it a shot! I have a blacklight room I have been wanting to desperately make cool crap for .... And I believe you have given me the tools to do that! Thank you so much... Wish me luck 🤞
Thank you so much. Glad to help and can't wait to see what you create.
I agree with the others. You are a great teacher. And patient and thorough. Thank you for your artistic passion.. I hope you never stop experimenting.
My wife wants me to quit experimenting with stuff around the house but I am a dabbler through and through.
Thank u for your great explanation on the mixture of paints more especially!!
Painters normally do not show u how to do a mix!!
I really appreciate you breaking it down to some of us that are first timers,God bless u!!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial, best I’ve seen yet making it the most helpful to date. Thank you, thank you 🙏🏻 now I’ve got this 😍
You're very welcome Linda.
Thanks! I've been painting for a while, but I still learned some great stuff from this.
I can't pour today, because my cat will complain. 😆
During lockdown he has become accustomed to have constant access to my lap. Since I paint with a large plastic tub on my sofa (what could go wrong with that) he's decided that the best option is to stare at me with big eyes until the guilt becomes to much and I have to stop painting. So, I paint every other day, to keep the peace.
I did paint yesterday and you are totally right, you just have to jump in and see what happens. One of my favourites is actually one I did really early, but every pour is a learning experience, even if I end my session scraping all the paint back off the canvases. And my painting journal is my go to guide for experiments, tracking what worked and what didn't etc.
Excellent news. Does your cat "paint" too? The cat I used to have wouldn't stay away and want to paw everything and make a mess.
@@LeftBrainedArtist He has a huge fluffy tail that will get into things from unfathomable distances and occasionally gets in it. His thing is glitter. He loves the stuff. He always has to have some on when I have it out, and I buy my glitter by the kilo, so it's fairly often.
The thing is, he's been used to me crafting from when he was young. I sit on the couch with my legs crossed up and he lies on one side and I twist and craft on the other.
He could sit on my lap, but I wouldn't be giving him 101% of my attention. He is very entitled and pandered to, hence every other day is a Corvinus Day.
I used to have one that would manage to walk through any kind of paint anywhere you put it and looked away for a few moments. We still have a line of white paw prints leading from the cat flap and down the front path. She also tried to stick her head in a bowl of hair dye once, but he managed to stop her, but she did have a pink flash for a bit.
@Dashing Shadowbolt, Love your art stories AND your cat stories!!
I'm a beginner at this and I've posted 2 videos so far of my 2 "pour paint" attempts... and yes, my kitty, Adirah, is in the background of both videos, giving some protest that my lap is not currently available during painting time!! 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent video. You hit the nail on the head - “quit just watching and DO”! I’ve poured about 20 small canvases so far - always a learning process.
Wonderful Victoria! Do you feel like you learn more by doing than watching?
Absolutely, once you start you cant stop. Love it. Just expensive
One of the best videos. You are a gifted painter and a teacher
Wow, thank you Zia.
I'm with Consuelo. I've NEVER done this, so for me to watch this is heaven. I had ,NO idea on measuring or getting the right consistently.
Thank you
You can do it for sure Joyce. If this obstinate guy can figure out anyone can.
Thank you so much for this video, I have been procrastinating about this for literaly years! I have now finally done my first pour after watching your video! I love it!! So much fun! and i got some great results.
Awesome to hear my friend. Glad to help.
That tree ring pour is my favorite! I love the soft look to it. Thank you for the teaching video. I watch all I see pop up. Getting the right consistency for the type pour is my biggest challenge. This helped so much.
You are so welcome Vonelle. It is the most important, and also the most difficult, part of acrylic pouring in my opinion.
@@LeftBrainedArtist that has sure been my experience! Thank you again for all the help you provide.
You are a great teacher, I love the way you explain everything. I am doing my first pour today and hope it will go well
Good luck! Let me know how it goes Diane.
10:58 to 12:04 .Thank you for showing how to test the consistency of the paint by making mound shapes and rings that disappear instantly. Very helpful
Glad to help Jo Kh. Thanks for watching.
THIS is how you do a how to video. Plus I now know how to thin a paint rather than try to thicken various paints. Today WILL BE the day I do my first paint pour, thanks.
You're very welcome! Can't wait to see what you create Chevin.
I actually DID do my first pour earlier today! In fact, I did TWO! They were both flip cups with very different colors. I like both of them and cannot wait until they dry so I can varnish and hang them. I'm also in the IT field and enjoy your videos.
You get it Jergie! Those first ones are so nerve wracking but so amazing at the same time.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Absolutely! They're 8x10s and will work up to larger canvases soon. I bought so much paint and supplies during Amazon Prime Days! Lol.
I truly love and adore all of your videos! Although I have already tried paint pouring, it’s been a few months since my last one, and your comment the beginning of this video made me laugh out loud. I just bought everything to make my pouring tray, very inspired by that simple tip in your last couple videos I watched!
Thank you so much! You've got this!
Thank you, this was so helpful in getting me prepared to start my paint pouring journey.
Awesome Dawn. You are going to love it!
How did you know I was binge watching youtube....totally telepathic, lol. Thanks for the encouragement! I am heading to the store today.
You got this Debra. Pouring is so fun . . . and therapeutic.
OMG, I thought he was talking directly to me! I need someone like him. Thank you!
You can do this Monica. Let me know how your first pours go.
Wow I love the intro you are speaking directly to me. I'm totally caught up in bingeing on everyone else's pours and don't move to do my own.
I have everything to do a pour have done a few in the past. Totally love your videos...you are direct and clear on instructions. Thank you David for this particular video. I been following the best >>> Kanella, Tammy, Olga, Mely, Mina, Masse Art Studios, Sherri, and many more! and of course you. Thank you for being here for us.
You definitely need to pour more. When I find myself binge watching content and not actually doing my own pours I feel like I have let myself down.
Thanks again, David, for a very informative video. You're right, I've been binge watching and planning my first pour. 😄However, being a Texan, things have come to a screeching halt as far as the completion of my little art studio. Soooo.....hopefully next week, or at the most, two weeks! I watch with anticipation for your videos to come out. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge in such an easy-to-understand way!
Stay warm Peggy. That polar story is crazy town. Lets definitely get you started next week.
Thumbtacks for leveling !!!
You teach me something new every day 😁 and I thought I was a good “rigger” but that’s super smart, adjust as you want. Easy Peasy
Aaaand, as I like to say,
“ There’s no bad pour, only the one you didn’t attempt. “
It’s sooooooo fun,
( not meant to cause concern and stress 😂 )
Everyone enjoy your pour !!
Thanks again !!!
☮️💟&🦄’s
You can try wall hooks too Julie. You can screw them in and out on the different sides to help level you if you something a little easier to handle.
@@LeftBrainedArtist
Stoooooop !!!
even better.
Your too handy ! 😂😂
Thanks
☮️💟&🦄’s
This was just great and gave me the confidence to get started. Thank you. You are
an EXCELLENT instructor! I particularly appreciate how distinctly and clearly you speak, and at a rate that one can açtually absorb and uñderstand what you are saying. Thank you again. Sally
That really is a wonderful compliment Sally. Thank you very much.
Yes, you were right; "today is the day..." Very satisfied with my first 3 pourings😃.
Now the only problem... I'm hooked 🤣
I know right!?! Good for you for starting
Where was this video when I first started? Excellent teaching for anyone just starting out. Thanks a lot. Really liked the tile and loved that picture you hated and covered. I was screaming at you (in my head) not to cover it ;-)
Thanks Hawk. Sorry I didn't get to it earlier but hopefully it will help some others. A little of that painting shows through now that the pour is dried. Kind of a cool effect actually. Might have to try that as a pour technique some day.
Brilliant! I've sent this link to my friend who's hesitating to put her toe in the water! Thank you :-)
Thanks for sharing! She definitely just needs to get started. So much fun to be had an amazing art to be created.
I’m learning so much from you. And by the way my paint pour containers turned out amazing. My husband drilled a hole threw each end of the PVC piping and and then the cement mixer. And zip tied the pipes on both sides. And made sure it was all level. We made two. And used 5 pipes per container. I made 6 paintings yesterday. Thank You for all the great advice and information. It’s working out so well for me.
That is awesome! Tell your hubby he is a Rockstar Mary. Plus now you can paint to your heart's content.
I so appreciate your teaching style and a nice and understanding voice "without" a bunch of comedic filler. I like your L brained approach. Compliments from this Virgo
Thanks Natasha. Glad to help.
OMG. How did you know? I HAVE been binging on pouring videos, I DO have all the supplies I need. I am going to go home and do it… today. Thanks. I needed that. 😁
You can do it Kate!
How did he know I been binge watching pours?
I think most of us start there Tamra.
THANK YOU for this video! I've been just such a person, binge-watching other people's acrylic pours, but always wanting to try it for myself. We bought all the materials and then just didn't really know where to go from there. Your video was very instructive, especially about mixing the paints and helping viewers recognize the correct pouring consistencies. Our first pours may not have gone *exactly* how we wanted, but they still look pretty cool, and we have plenty of paint and canvases remaining to try again a few more times without more purchases.
You go Jenny. Isn't pouring so much fun? Just take your time, make small changes and keep track of what works and what doesn't and you'll be pouring masterpieces in no time. Also, love your failures. They make you better and should be celebrated too!
Me too!!! Making Christmas gifts early. Ill frame them first
I just did my first pour it was so fun and you said everything I needed nice and clear thanks a lot 🙏
My pleasure 😊
Whahahahaha..... exactly 3 seconds into your video and I'M IN LOVE!!! I LOVE YOUR HEARTY, SUPPORTIVE, ENCOURAGING WORDS, I wish you could see my table and I was seriously having an anxiety attack ~ petrified that I will screw up!!!! So..... thank you, thank you!!! From the depth of my heart for gently shoving me forward!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Messing up is just our way to learn. You've got this!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing this stage of the process! I’ve been struggling with the measurements and this method makes it effortless!
You are so welcome Marissa. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions.
Soo excited to try this. Ive been thinking about looking into it, and finally started watching these today, and it looks soooo easy and fun. I have paint, canvases, and some random things around the house, so I'll need to maybe pick up a few things, but today's the day!!
Yes. Today is the day! You'll be glad you start. Pouring is so fun.
I am so happy to hear that the thinking part of pouring is over for you!. Let the fun begin. I started painting out of necessity, I needed something to spark my brain out of severe PTSD. I found Sarah Mack (love her). After watching for a couple of months, I again recognized the power of colors.
The rest is history!.
I've decided that you have to be an artist to do this. Not just anybody can do it. That anybody is me. All my colors run together and I end up with a poop brown canvas
Thank you so much! This is just the ‘nudge’ I needed to just get on with my first pour. I’ve just done 4 - learned a lot already! I’ve watched many ‘pouring acrylic’ videos but yours are so clear and by far the best. Thanks again.
You are so welcome Jan. Welcome to the obsession . . . I mean club.
@@LeftBrainedArtist 🤣🤣. yes I can see it becoming a bit of an obsession. Already thinking about the next ones. I guess that’s something else that I need to learn - patience.
Love this video. I’m going to show it to my niece who wants to try paint pouring. The tree ring one came out great :)
Please do! It really is an easy and awesome artform.
All of us need that push most of the time. Thank you so much.
You are welcome Uma. Have you already started? If so, how is it going?
