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❤❤

    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!!

      @suzannerenay8910 2 года назад +8

      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.

It looks relatively inexpensive. And I loved every one of your acrylic pours that you did here! Thank you for Not only being a great teacher but for taking the time to show me a new way of painting.

    I'm an artist (BFA Ohio University) but a real rookie on this amazing genre. I'm retired and my wife and I do craft shows. I can't wait to create some beautiful pieces. I love your educational tutorials. I hated the videos that showed techniques to music with NO "teacher" talking; the "instructor" never explains the process as they progress through the piece. "Clever" text inserts to explain the process doesn't cut it. I hope these artists would never use this style for children; young adults, (or even newbies) trying learn anything using virtual education.

    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.

    I did my first couple of acrylic paint pouring art today. I just poured the paint, swished it around a bit, threw in a couple of wavy lines, swished it around again, then once I set them down, splattered a bit of rubbing alcohol here and there. They're very groovy looking, and while I won't make my fortune from any of my art, I enjoy it a lot.

    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.

      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.

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.
