I remember being so mystified by silicone oil when I first started. I knew that it would make cells, but I never knew the particulars of HOW to use if effectively. This is such a helpful video, David. Really, really well done. 🐻
Very cool experiment and very easy to follow. I never thought about the silicone in the colors rising up through the white, but it makes perfect sense. Have a great weekend!
@@LeftBrainedArtist Not even close on the watch hours, but I have only been doing 1 video per week (sometimes 2) the last few months due to summer stuff. I’m enjoying the journey, though! It was PourCon that got me above the 1k and it was a blast!
I love this video. The best as a newbie I've watched by far. I was stuck on pillow layer being wet or dry, but now I know you don't even need one. Thanks again
@@LeftBrainedArtist I wish I would have found you a long time ago as I wouldn’t have wasted so much paint and so many canvases! 🤦🏼♀️ I started messing around with fluid art a few years ago
You make such great content! Love your channel. You explore things most other channels don't. Thank you! I just did the set up with the concrete mixing tub like you said on your other video by the way! Except I got cheap curtain rod hanger things to set on top as my bar. Thanks for what you do!
i love watching your channel, you explain everything very well and it makes things so much easier for us. Would you mind a request? Please investigate shadow pour and hidden colors and explain that to us as well?
Wow your video is awesome and super informative😍 and swipe beautiful😍 . I don't know you've already tried artina paints for the swipe, it's made for that 😉
So, if i put the cell activator in the paint & not the white and swipe with white, I'll get great cells? I gotta rewind to see if there was medium in the paints or white paint.
I do not consider silicone a cell activator. The only time I really talk about cell activators are when we are talking about Sheleeart Blooms or Swipes. Otherwise I only call this an additive (silicone, hair serum, cocount oil, etc). That matter because you are going to be doing different things with cell activators and silicone oil. For silicone oil, I normally put the oil in the base colors and NOT the swipe color. You can do it the opposite way but I don't think it turns out as well.
This video is so interesting. Your explanations are so clear and it's easy to understand the logic of what you tested. 👍 ❤❤ I have a question for you. Twice I have had to use new canvases that I have been using for years in an art store. Normally no worries. But twice the canvases reacted as if I had put silicone or oil on the new canvas. However I made a Dutchpour with Floetrol USA, water and Amsterdam paint. Is this a defect in the canvases? not enough gesso perhaps? Thank you to help me. 😊
Oh and I love your videos ❤ Just watched this. I learn something from every one. This one is best cause you spilled paint finally 😂🤣😅 Made me feel better 👍🤪 Do you save skins?? Those are patriotic and cool.
Hi, Can you tell me what video of yours explains how to measure the amount of Paint you need on different sized canvas or boards . Thank you in advance for your reply
Sure thing. Here you go - ruclips.net/video/cZPH2HCYDqc/видео.html and here is a calculator on my website leftbrainedartist.com/acrylic-pour-paint-calculator/
A base coat helps you not "stretch" the middle of your pour as much. There are some techniques where it is required like the dutch pour or the Sheleeart blooms also.
Are we sure that the silicone mat brand isn’t Love|Life. Reading the white letters top to bottom then the black letters top to bottom. Or maybe it is Loli Vefe and done on purpose the way it’s stacked to also say Love Life. Btw amazing info- newbie here. I just could t unsee the brand since I found you on over on Pinterest a few videos ago. I really love your teaching. As a newbie I need a lot of the info but you keep it moving without a bunch of fluff to weed thru. I really appreciate that!!
The brand is Loli Vefe but the double meaning is 100% Love Life. She saw the Love Life on her daugher's sweatshirt as I recall and liked how the letters were formed "Loli Vefe" and name her business after that. Glad to help. Let me know if you have more questions Harmony.
David I did a swipe like this with silicone. Do you have a video on how to remove silicone from your painting or can you tell me a safe way to do it? You inspired me give this a try. Thank you!
@@LeftBrainedArtist Thanks so much for getting back to me. So you spray Windex on cloth or directly on painting. Thank you so much you are my favorite pour artist. I watch all you videos. Thanks
For most pours I go with about 60% as base and the rest as the pour. It will change slightly based on how much I want to stretch my main pour and the technique I am doing.
For Penetrol if used in the small amounts I mentioned I don't. I was able to resin over the top of the painting once dry with no issues. For silicone oil I use face wipes, windex, or a bit of rubbing alcohol to clean off my paintings.
Wow David. I think this is the most informative swipe video I've ever seen. Thank you so much. It may have given me the confidence to go and try swipes again. One question. You say here that silicone oil is the best but I remember one of your videos where you showed that Penetrol was best at producing cells. Did you change your mind? Thanks again.
A Sunday follow up. I've just followed your instructions to the letter and have just done the first swipe I've ever done that made me go 'Wow!" I hope you realise how important you are to some of us. Thank you so much.
Penetrol has it's place but because it is oil based a lot of people don't like using it. Silicone is easier to get an use so it wins out. But I still use penetrol for certain colors and mediums as it does react slightly different.
Do you already try “Bladter Garage Door dry silicon” the light blue spray, some people do… no need to wipe or clean…. Maybe was you who found … thanks I want to be sure work.
I haven tried garage door silicone but I've used it on my garage. it is very similar to WD-40. I assume it will give smaller cells compared to treadmill siclicone or coconut oil.
You can look for “ polychromatic mess, the video is “ how garage door lubricant is better than silicone oil…. Tested no residues like you did with the Penetrol test and varnished with no problem. It is easy to found and cheap with a elaborated formula can be a winner … one drop for onz but check the video if you want.
@@LeftBrainedArtist ah ok. I've been watching for almost a year now and I've been so mesmerized by colors that I haven't been paying attention to density 😆. Makes my wonder what would happen if you used one of those cheap milk frothers to mix one of your paints for one of the layers.
@@LeftBrainedArtist One of my paintings got all sticky when the humidity was at its peak here. I gave that painting 2 weeks to dry up. Now I will keep this in mind. Thank you for your help :)
@@ShriyaAnupam It may be that your humidity is way more than I am used to. Having a fan in the room (not directly pointing at the painting) could also help that.
Can you use wd40 instead of silicone? If anyone can please let me know. I'm brand new to this and I saw a video where wd40 was used for something and I don't know why or what for. Thanks peeps ✌💜
Sure. I like to spray that in a cup and let it sit and evaporate all the propellants before using it though. It will also be much thinner so the cells will be smaller.
M-1 Oil-Based Extender, Treats 4- Gallons, Interior/Exterior Paint Texture Additive (Actual Net Contents: 32- This is another similar to Floetrol but very light consistency you can try ….
M1 es para varios usos con diferentes frascos hay uno pequeño que se hecha a un galón de US Floetrol y ayuda a eliminar los residuos solidificados… ese dice para mild o mold, algo de eso no Home Depot, en Sherwin Williams hay

All your clips are far more helpful than 90% of other clips. You are led to believe that Aussie floetrol is the secret cell activator. It isn't. I am a complete novice and need all the help I can get. There are some stunning art works out there, but none of their clips have been helpful to the point that I've gotten lacing or cells. Thank you. I'm from NZ, and there isn't anyone online in my neck of the woods doing what some of these amazing artists are doing. I only have US or UK to go off.
Let me know if you find some good products where you are at that mimic some of the other things you see online. Don't skimp on the experimentation (and note taking).
@LeftBrainedArtist p.s I thought your work was very cool. You are to the point, easy to understand, and make it look easy. I will check out some of your work. You're an inspiration. Thank you again.
@LeftBrainedArtist Hi, I've just been experimenting today. like you said, the silicon goes right to the base of the canvas. I had a small bottle of golden polymer varnish, and it gave great lacing. It holds to. I took photos at different time stages to see the difference. Every colour is in its own category in how it performs. Also, in what order too.
Here's another question...how can I tell if house paint is too old? I found a gal of Colorplace antique white semi-gloss never opened in storage bedroom. Don't know how long ago I bought it. WHAT A FIND!!🤯 Before that I searched Walmart all out of stock. I called their corporate office to ask when?? They didn't know anything!! Guy I finally got was in India.😠 My son didn't know how to tell if old and he owns a Drywall & Painting Business! At least he got me floetrol but never used it himself. I didn't shake the paint. I opened and stirred long and gently.🤦♀️ Seems ok but had funny smell.🤷♀️Inside the lid was dry and kinda lumpy. I think it's like 8yrs old!! Didn't use it cause i got a slumlord! There's also a mystery gallon unopened too. Might be kilz?? Been asking folks if they have any old paint so I'll be experimenting with that. Got a lot of craft paint too. We'll see what happens. Doin it on the cheap for now but knowing me...I'll find something amazing for sure!!!😊😊😊
Shake it really good. Or take it walmart and just ask the paint counter to shake it. if it all integrates back together with no huge lumps it is still good.
I've watched 100s of videos. Barely started pouring. Here's some videos I want to see please. To me all you guys waste a lot of paint. 😱I know it's part of the process but I want to see exactly how you store your paint in cups without lids? Airtight? I've already spilled one on me trying to put rubberband over plastic wrap. Tin foil? All of you premix sometimes to reduce air bubbles. I want a video to watch you all clean up the mess 😂for real!!😊 You said no paint down sink right? These paints are soap and water wash.
I make new paint pretty much every video so I don't store lots of paints. I have been known to use old take-out containers for some of my base coats I make a lot of. I do have a few condiment squeeze bottles from Lolivefe that I use too. But they are a little more expensive. Small amounts of paints can be washed and put down the drain (teaspoon or less ish). Mostly I let it dry and peel it off the container and use it for jewelry or throw it away.
Yeah, that is where that name came from. The owners daughter had a sweatshirt that said Love Life but was split up to say LoLi and then under nead that vefe which is where she got the name.
I remember being so mystified by silicone oil when I first started. I knew that it would make cells, but I never knew the particulars of HOW to use if effectively. This is such a helpful video, David. Really, really well done. 🐻

@PolycromaticMess is the poster
Why does the torch make more cells?
Breaks the surface tension and allows the less dense paint and silicone to flow up through the more dense paint.
@@LeftBrainedArtist ah ok. I've been watching for almost a year now and I've been so mesmerized by colors that I haven't been paying attention to density 😆. Makes my wonder what would happen if you used one of those cheap milk frothers to mix one of your paints for one of the layers.

Use baking soda to absorb the oil.

@@LeftBrainedArtist that’s too bad. Did you put enough on and let it set for a while? And then wash off with soap and water?
