Here are my Keys to Success for the Magic Dome Pour:
1. One of the great things about this kind of pour for beginners is that consistency is not as important. If you want cells and clearly defined colors and lines, your mixed paints should be on the thicker side - it should leave a trace when drizzled off of your stir stick and should leave a mound on a mound. If you want more blending of colors and fewer cells, the consistency should be a little thinner, still leaving a small mound but disappearing quickly.
2. Let your paints sit for several hours before using them to reduce the amount of air bubbles when you pour. As a general rule, the thicker the consistency of your paints, the longer it takes for the bubbles to rise through the paint and release. For thicker consistency paints, I let them sit (covered) for about 24 hours before using them. For thinner (dutch Pour) consistency, I let them sit for at least 6 hours.
3. If you're using a transparent color as a base, make sure you pre-paint the sides of the canvas. The paint layer on the sides gets very very thin because gravity forces most of it to drip off. The white canvas will show through a transparent color if you don't cover it first.
4. I used half of a large Christmas ornament to pour over. But anything that's half-round would work. A bowl or a cup... it needs to be flat on one side but round on the pouring surface.
5. To get those amazing fingerlings and layered lines, I did a straight pour on the down slope of my painting tool. Pouring on the top creates an interesting effect, but different.
6. To get that spiral effect, use a spinner and move it slowly as you pour. This takes a bit of concentration, but it's not as difficult as you might think. Pour with your dominant hand and spin with the other.
7. Using the base coat color as one of the colors in your pour is a great way to ensure you have negative space. It creates an interesting illusion of pulling the negative space into the composition.
8. Don't remove your dome (or orb? bowl, cup, whatever) right away. Let the paints sit and settle. You'll get more and better natural cells this way, and it will allow the air bubbles created from pouring it onto the canvas to rise and pop.
9. When tilting, move your paint slowly in a circle and spread out your design as much as possible before going over any edges. This allows you to choose the parts you like best and choose which parts to tilt off.
10. To cover the rest of the canvas, choose a corner and tilt that direction. Once you've covered that corner, bring the weight of the paint back to the center, and then choose another direction. This is an important step - don't get impatient and skip it.
11. Remember to scrape the drips off of the underside of your canvas edges and corners. These drips can continue pulling paint off of the top of your canvas and change your composition. Scraping off the drips breaks the surface tension and stops the 'pull' of the paint in that direction.
Colors Used:
Amsterdam Phthalo Blue
Amsterdam Titanium White
My pouring medium is equal parts Floetrol, PVA glue, and gloss varnish.
My paints are mixed 2 parts pouring medium to 1 part paint, and then I add small amounts of distilled water until I reach the desired consistency if necessary.
Thanks again for stopping by - I hope to see you here again soon!

Love you teaching style. You explain the reason behind everything you do. So helpful for novices like me. Helps me understand how to choose direction when stretching out my pour. Your laugh is the best! Always makes me smile!
Love blue & white - classic! My bedroom colours! Great result! 👏👏👏👏👏 reminds me of a pebble in a pond ripple. I tell my kids, inner ripple is family & friends you can trust, middle ripples- friends who you can trust, but, not inner secrets, outer ripples- colleagues who you can enjoy life with but don't open your heart to. It's helped them through school , college & University.
So correct, it's important not to rush painting & let the paint have time to react. I have started painting therapy with my 8yr old son who has a terminal cardiac condition. I've got him a mini hot air (embossing gun) No pyromania in my house🤣
Thank you so much Queen! Paint therapy is the best - I'm so glad you have this creative outlet with your son. THAT'S a ripple that you can cherish forever!
This is one of my favorites Nate. I prefer the composition as you left it. Glad you didn’t tilt the right side off. You’d have lost details that really work in this piece. Can’t wait to try it myself. Thx so much for sharing this.
Fantastic Blue💙 I don't know much about pouring but I really love this piece...It's alive💙
Look forward to see more. Nina
Ooooh this is special...loving the spiral and who doesn't love blue? Awesome!!♥
Thanks Evie! blues are definitely my favorite
Stunning ethereal! Absolutely divine 😍😍
Thank you so much!
That right there was really COOL 😎! Love that you are doing some different from things and using different tools. Eye of the hurricane 🌀 indeed. It was awesome to watch the paint slowly come into the center. 💙.
Thanks so much Kim! So much fun to do too!
All that beauty using just two colors, amazing!!! You are such a great teacher to me!!
Thanks so much Tami!
Hi from Germany. I'm so impressed, stunning and in love with that work. Wow! I just can't wait to do it by myself. Or try 😂. Thanks Nate!

It looks 3D! Amazing!💙💙💙
Thanks Janja! Yes I love that 3D effect
My favorite part is the design in the center. Gorgeous
Thanks Cindy!

I absolutely watching you work Nate! I LOVE how you explain your thinking process as you go! It’s so helpful & educational! You’re an excellent teacher!
I’m a big fan! BTW…GORGEOUS 🎉😂❤
Omg, that is a beauty, .👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much Mirna!
This is so pretty. Using just 2 colors could be boring but you made this work beautifully!
Thanks Shauna! Using 1 transparent color with 1 opaque color really creates some magic!
@@NateBrightArt It sure did in your case!
“The eye of hurricane Beauty” Wow Nate, this result is way cool 😎
✌️💜✌️ 🇨🇦
Thanks Renee! I was trying to think of a name with 'Hurricane' in it... Hurricane Beauty has a great ring to it!
Very cool! I like the outer white edge that looks like a feather
Am new to pouring and tried your "magic dome" technique. Love how they came out! I love your work as well. I've learned a lot from you! Thank you!
Hi Nate , I see ‘eye of a hurricane ‘ it’s fabulous! ❤️
Thanks again Cathy!
Absolutely stunning, I could look at this piece for hours. I'm a huge fan of only using 2 colours , thank you for sharing such a beautiful piece of art 😍
Thank you so much! Yes, I’m a big fan of a simple color palette too
I learned rom you patience before any movement , thank you
It’s gorgeous Nate ❤
Oh yes this is freaking fabulous
Wow
Absolutely beautiful!
Stunning 😍 that is the coolest.
Thanks Theresa!
Beautiful technique and pour! I love it! ❣
Thank you Cathy!
Love blue and you are genius using only 2 colors making a feathery hurricane.
Thanks so much! A feathery hurricane is the best way to describe it! LOL
BTW... Nancypants is a fantastic screen name.
I love this! It definitely looks like a hurricane.
Thanks so much! Yes that center definitely reminds me of a hazardous weather alert! LOL
Stunning love it Nate love ur videos .
Your work is amazing. I love how few colors you use and the results you get. Thank you for sharing your talent
Thanks Patti!
Замечательная работа.Спасибо , что поделились. Хорошего дня. 👍
спасибо Людмила
absolutely love it Nate!
Thanks Asana!
Fantastic work 😊
It is gorgeous ❤
Wow! Love the dome pour! What gorgeous results!❤
Thanks so much Sheila!
Amazing what you’ve done with half an ornament! The last two you’ve done using the “dome” makes me want to see if I can rustle up one from the archives and give this a try! Great job!!
That's great Rhonda! You should definitely do it!
Absolutely gorgeous Nate. Pouring over the dome was a great idea
Thanks Rebecca!
Ok besides me how many others tilted there phone when Nate was stretching.
Beautiful Nate
😂😂😂
This is stunning!
Thank you Ronaye!
Love it. Amazing what you can do with just two colors!!!
Thanks Catherine! With a 'busy' pattern like this, I often simplify the color palette to balance out the intricate design. Sometimes simple is best!
Awesomeness! Really, really like this look you get when pouring over the dome. Beautiful, Nate. xoxo
Thank you so much Stephanie!
Great video and as usual great tutorial!
Thanks Patsy!
How did I miss this one? This is really pretty, vibrant and full of interest. It looked so much fun to do! It's amazing 👏 😍 love to you and hubby. Xx
Thanks Linny! How are you feeling?
Love my blues!!! Hi Nate
Hi Donna! thank you so much for watching!

Thanks so much Carla!
Wow amazing art my friend
Thank you so much Arifin! 😀
Nate you are a true natural my friend 🥳 I am in total awe😍yes I do see the octopus 🤣 I won’t be eating that for a while! That looks like owl feathers in the moonlight 🤔 WOW 🤩 you are just magical 💙
Thanks so much Donna! 'Owl feathers in the moonlight' is like poetry - lovely choice of words! Are you a writer too Donna?
Absolutely spectacular! The depth is amazing and your color choice is spot on. I was cheering for you when you were trying to keep negative space. Kudos and I can’t wait to try it myself. Thanks for sharing your art!
Thank you so much Maureen - what an awesome compliment!
Incredibly beautiful!!!
Thanks Carole!
I was expecting James Bond to walk into frame and do a pose before you stretched it out. 🕺However, once you stretched it, it now looks like a petunia.💙 I love the simplicity of only two colors.
Haha - I love that James Bond image - how cool would that be?? Thanks Kiki! Looking forward to collaborating with you!
Magnificent!❤
SO MANY pretty parts to this one!! 💖 Nice job 👍👍 Great explanation in both your video and description - thank you 🤗
Thanks Mama D - and you’re welcome 😊
Another truely beautiful piece Nate😍. I love it ♥️👏👏
Thanks Mell Mell!
Gorgeous
Super awesome 🤩
Wow simply wow simply 👏
Thanks Kim! This was a fun one... maybe I should do another one soon... Happy New Year!
That is awesome Nate. So memorizing...love it😘Thank you for sharing this technique!😁
Thanks Brenda! I'm planning another like this soon...
I could hardly hear it but I could watch and it was spectacular. It even looks like a waterfall in the lower right side!
Sorry about that Pea Nut! I've double checked my sound settings, and it's set at 100%. So I'm not sure how or if it needs to be fixed on my end. But thanks for watching!
Awesome job bud its so cool love it 🥰
Thanks Jack! Or, I'm assuming this is Jack and not your alter ego...
I absolutely love it 😀
Thank you!
Fabulous and so simply stated..I’ll try this one for sure. So glad I found you🤗
Thanks so much Josie! 😊
Very. Nice job
So beautiful. You have great talent. Thank you for your valuable pouring tips, #11 especially. Sleep walking is my newest paint pour problem. Too many mornings, I have discovered that my composition quietly crept off the canvas to the countertop beneath .All that paint, purposeful design and excited anticipation and all I got is a photo.
Oh no! I hate it when my pour travels overnight - I wake up all excited and rush into the studio... and half of it is on the table instead of the canvas. Gah! Terrible.
I learned to make sure my drying table was level before I painted anything. And I make sure I don't leave too much paint on the canvas too. No more sleepwalking paintings!
This one is brilliant! I'm going to try it soon too then I'll add the color aqua as well 😊
Very pretty
Thank you! 😊
Fallopian tube. Thank you.... 🤩❤❤💖🥰🤗
Haha! Thanks Linda!
Another brilliant idea done so well. Your directions are so comprehensive and yet easy to follow. Thanks Nate. You rock!
Thanks Dawn! I'm glad you're finding the info useful!
Thank you for always being so through with your explanations. I really enjoy watching your work. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌺
Thank you so much Neda!
I like how you use only 2 colours. Everyone has 2 colours. Looks lovely.
Thanks Mavanie! Yes, sometimes a simple color palette is best!
Another gorgeous pour and with just two colors!! Thanks for the tips under your description. Those are so helpful.
Thanks Paula! The devil is in the details as they say!
C'est très beau !
This was so much fun to watch, I want to try it.
Thanks Norma! You absolutely should try it - so much fun!
Nate, this is a really lovely painting. You did such a good job at getting the design with so much detail. Love it. Glenis
Thanks again Glenis!
very beautiful. Thank you for sharing the dried results at the end
My pleasure Tammy 😊. Thanks for watching!
You nailed it, amazing piece!
Thank you so much Pam!
Very cool technique you made. The center part is so awesome!
Thanks so much Jamie!
Another beautiful painting! Blue my favorite color! ❤️
Meeee toooo! Love all the blues
Absolutely beautiful 😻!
Thanks Marci!
Very unique result! I'm very in to the mechanics and techniques of each method of pouring because every step, every tool, color, additive used or omitted changes the science -- chemistry and physics. Fluid dynamics are fascinating. Absorption - adhesion, etc
I agree Darice - surface tension and opacity and density... so fascinating, and so fun to experiment with!
Nate when you picked up your canvas I told you to be careful. My granddaughter told me I was loosing my marbles. 🤣
This painting is spectacular ❤️👏😎
Haha! Thanks Deirdre... I talk to my screen too... I'm usually yelling at Mina to stop tilting off my favorite bits, or at Jeremy not to wreck the perfect ring pour. LOL
Wow!! Awesome painting 😍💚 Hey my dear new friend 🤗💜
Thanks so much!
Hi there! I came upon your site and I'm really glad I did. Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your work!!
Thanks Deborah!
WOW Spectacular Nate, I can not take my eyes of this beautiful piece. You are an amazing artist💙💙💙
Thanks Debbie! That center is mesmerizing right? And the way the outter edges stretched out... I could stare at it for days! Definitely have to do this again
I just love this! Thank you for providing so much information and inspiration.
You are so welcome! and thank you!
Stunning
Thanks Cheryl!
I Love it too
thanks so much!
So pretty!!!
Thanks Kristine!
Wow! The application of the paint while turning gives such a unique pattern/composition. My favorite of all the blues is fabulous with the white. Well done Nate.💙
Thank you so much Margaret! 😀
That is GORGEOUS!! I am going to try it with pthalo green/white and then probably some other colors.
Oooooo - I LOVE pthalo green! Please try and let me know how it turns out!
BEAUTIFUL
Thanks Ann!
Stunning! The two colors only was genius, especially one transparent and one opaque. You truly have a gift. I wish I had a fraction of the ability you have for taking your vision and bringing it to the canvas. Your Keys to Success are invaluable as well.
Thanks so much Elayne! I'm hoping that my videos are entertaining and useful for all skill levels, so I take my time writing the 'Keys to Success' to make sure it's clear and comprehensive. Sometimes writing all that takes more time than doing the painting! LOL. But I'm glad people are finding it useful
@@NateBrightArt I really appreciate the Keys to Success segment, Nate, because it puts laser focus on pouringj tips and pitfalls to avoid because I can tell you, I am blind, in terms of pouring knowledge & skills at this point. Beginner.
Great idea! I love this ❤️
Thank you Karen! 😊
Watching this pour now. What a beauty! LOVE the way you explained transparency in the beginning and why you paint your sides. You explain everything so well, Nate. Very interesting and very enjoyable!!!
Awww thanks Linda!
What a stunner!!! Oh my this is incredible! The dry results just blew me way! Well done Nate! 😍😍😍❤️
So glad you liked it Janet! Thanks!
Awesome, loving the blue and white and your patience while pouring and turning...was thinking while you were doing it, what would happen if you have the canvas a good spin and poured over your magic dome..lol would be interesting to see ... love your work and all the advice ❤️😍🥰❤️😍🥰🤗
Haha! Thanks Brenda - it sounds like a fun mess to make!
Beautiful! Thank you.
Thanks Michele!
Love it! So awesome!
Thanks Jayne!
Nate, I am fairly new to your channel....I wish I had found you sooner!!! I absolutely 💯 love this pour ! One of my favorite colors is blue. Any shade will do 🤩😂😂🤗. BTW...my hubby says this one should be called " maelstrom ". I am going to try your technique . If it turns out as well as yours, I may use that title for mine. 🤗 Thank you, Nate, for great ideas. Brenda
Thanks Brenda and welcome! 'Maelstrom' is the perfect name! Where was your husband when I was trying to think of a name for this piece?!? LOL
Good luck and I hope it turns out fantastic!
