What do you guys think about this experiment? What is your favorite way to create acrylic pouring cells?
And I forgot to mention in the video, I’m not sure if adding dish soap/alcohol or even silicone is good in terms of the archival properties of the artwork. What are your thoughts on that?
I don't remember his name but this Russian makes some beautiful works adding vodka!
I practiced for hours today trying to get cells and chameleon cells and all were fails! Argh! I used 2 parts floetrol to 1 part Basic paints, and a litter water to thin it out some. The only time I was able to get some cells was when I used Elmer's Glue All but I want to learn how to do archival pours so I'm trying not to use glue or much water.
Subscribed....keep up the amzing work.....i dont have any experience with acrylic pour....but the one with rubbing alchol....if you added more i think it would have more cells....and also do a video outside tourching it...just for an experiment...the fire......it might create cells or just burn.....😬😂...thank you for this video...you are appreciated❤❤❤
The alcohol evaporates very fast.
Don't know why you would need to add water to the soap.
@@nancylockner353 the soap does be a little thick...that was may be why she added the water.....thats what i think...🙋♂️
"A lot of artists use alcohol"
It's a rough career choice for sure.
hahahahahhahah 🙊🙈
Lol
😂😂
Lmao!!!
Skaatje yes. Yes it is indeed!
You can also mix alcohol ( about 96%/ 4% water) and spray it on the canvas at the end to create cells.
Yup
@@tiffanytaylor3 saved me paint and the mess GUESS I'LL TRY IT!!!
Trying this!
@@jessicaryker how did this work out?
Really! I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip!
This is exactly what I wanted to see done: different cell activators at the same time, same colors, same type canvas. Thanks!!! 🥰
But alcohol evaporates so quickly I still aint think it showed it at its peak performance.
Ольга, а если залить например цветок в центре и высушить, его можно будет отодрать😅 от холста и использовать дальше самостоятельно? С флутроном или без?... Спасибо👍
Next time you use the dish soap, pour the colors first and then in a bowl mix water and dish soap to form bubbles and gently place the bubbles where you want the cells. Once the painting dries simply wipe away the bubbles to reveal the cells. It works awesome when doing fingernails this way. Hope that helps.
Thank you for the tip!!
That's so logical. Thanks for that. It's Basic Science. I wish I had thought of it.
Many answers of thinking in my mind. Thanks.
I was thinking just add the dish soap to the paint without water?
When you use alcohol, you have to pour paint quickly after adding alcohol. If you noticed the cells were in the yellow because it had the least amount of time to evaporate.
Angela Major that’s what I was getting ready to say 😊
Very interesting observation! I didn't think about it, thank you for the tip, Angela!
Wow thank you 😍
@@OlgaSoby I bet you could get some interesting effects dripping alcohol or spraying alcohol inks on top of a pour too.
It doesnt evaporate that quickly. Its not ethyl acetate (fastest evaporation) but you have a point, shouldn't leave it standing around too long
The ALCOHOL is added after your pour. Using a dropper it expands the paint giving a flowering affect. 💚
Old comment, I know, but can you elaborate?
Yes when its stretched,then use a dropper or soak a paint brush in alcohol, then pinch the bristles to cause a droplet,amazing effects and can manipulate where you want the individual cells to be,I hope this helps
@@kandi679 Thank you! I was wondering about that!
If you add alcohol is it safe to use a blow dryer on it.?
@@rcassin889ableI would say definitely not a torch
They all came out cool. But Silicone was my favorite.
Unpopular opinion: I love the rubbing alcohol mixture most. The effect is subtle and I love how the colors blend together. Thanks for demonstrating this experiment!
I agree about the rubbing alcohol. Maybe switch rubbing alcohol and then silicone between colors then pour.
Totally. It doesn't look busy, but has character :)
It dries so fast though for a beginner like myself but I do like the results and think it will look even better once I get better at pouring
My favs the dish soap. I'm not a huge fan of a bunch of cells.
Thank you, Lourine!
Same lol
Same
Me, either! I don't know why people like them so much.
I agree!
I liked them all, but I love the idea of the dish soap and alcohol because they are household items and readily available. Please yes, more experiments! 😃
Shanks for sharing!!!😊
Love them all for different reasons - I do love the silicon! The colors stayed really bold!
All beautiful. Thank you for the demonstration!
When my daughter was 3, she's now 31, we mixed paint and soapy water. Made bubbles with a straw, and popped them against paper. I read about it in a book of kids crafts.
I did the same craft when I was a kid (I'm 33). Was trendy at the time I guess.
In preschool we mixed soap with milk and paint. The results are amazing.
🤩 . After reading this comment, it brought back a memory from art class in elementary school!! 😁 Art is amazing!!
Cool!
Same! I'm 30 and we did that technique in primary school, aged 5 years old 😂 now people will buy it!
I actually like all three pieces! They all have their own beauty.
Agree totally. Each has their place and if you think about it, Olga used all same colors and same pouring technique... the results yielded very different color palates.
Silikon
I found this about isopropyl alcohol & paint pouring: "91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol in a spritzer bottle to pop bubbles in the paint. You can spray this into the paint cups before pouring, spritz it onto the canvas after pouring, or both. Alcohol also helps to open up the cells in paintings when you're using silicone oil."
Can you resin over a piece that you have used alcohol in? You seem to be knowledgeable so I’d thought I’d ask. Thanks.
I was about to scream when I saw you heading with the torch to the alcohol paint! Love the results.
try the soap straight with no water, much different results that way.
Do you get cells
@@mercurysbest cancer cells...so don't drink too much of it
Just what I was thinking.
I like the Silicone and Soap. Especially the Silicone. Those cells are incredible!
The alcohol one is stunning, not busy and not chaotic look. Beautiful!
Well, it's been 2 years now since you did this cell experiment. I hope you've finished reading your comments by now. I've been binge watching this technique for weeks now and I'm getting ready to leap out of the nest and see if I can fly. I've used oils, acrylics, and water colors since I was 25 and I've never heard or seen the acrylic pour technique until recently...and I'm retired now. It's never too late to try something new.
One thing I like are all the comments. You can learn quite a bit from those who have already experimented.
It was nice of you to commend all of those who discovered a new way of creating cells or shared some new information. But then, you seem like a very nice person; always smiling. Keep painting, sharing, and good luck. There's a few of yours that I'm really excited to try. Quite a few.
Thank you so much, Randy! Happy creating!!!😊
I have tried many pours using different household items. Hairspray gives a combination of dishsoap and alcohol, coconut milk oil which gave big cells, but took forever to dry and wd40 (without silicone) that was a mistake, but waves and ripples formed..very cool. I usually add a bit of white glue to ensure a thicker pour. There are lots of products to add that give many different effects and once one layer is dry you can pour another on top in the areas that didn't come out so well. You can't really mess up on pours.
Thanks for your insights!
Add a drop or 2 of minwax wood conditioner
Thank you for the tips. Could you please tell me the ratio of paint to floetrol to silicone?what brand of silicone? I'd like to try this technique. Many thanks😊
@@mariadasilva1341 First, I mix paint and white glue in plastic cups to a 4:1 ratio (more paint than glue). I use a solo cup and layer paint colors, floetrol more paint and the top with WD 40 with silicone. Sometimes I add the WD40 with silicone in between paint layers, but I have never poured WD 40 silicone next to floetrol. I have always spaced the two agents between layers of paint. I try to pour equal amounts of everything, but sometimes that isn't always the case. I find if you have more of the agents, the cells are muted and if you have more paint then the cells are smaller or don't come out as well. It is trial by error, and sometimes happy mistakes are made. There are pouring videos available to show how to set up the pour. It is easier to see than to describe.
Thanks so much for your experiment! I've been wondering about the different cell-making mediums and you've answered that completely. Very nice of you to donate your time and materials for all of us.
I love the cells and how it effects the colors.
The alcohol one is so pretty. My favorite.
The silicone one is crazy amazing! Great job on them all!
I loved the one with Dish Soap. Never had an idea that dish soap could be used for such a beautiful piece of art.
To cool, my friend was just telling me about the soap and alcohol. So it was nice to them, I liked them all.🤗
They are all beautiful ! Colors are amazing! I'm going to try them all of them for flowers
Thank you, I am a beginner learning how to do poured paint and this gives me new ideas and ways of doing the different techniques and I don't have to do them all to see the ones I like. Thanks again.
Thank you for this demo. I'm just beginning to do pour paintings and this is very helpful.
I sincerely enjoy all three! Lovely work!
I love them all. I think they are just beautiful!!
I really prefer the softer look of the dish soap. I'm super glad I looked at this before spending a ton of money. I can't wait to play with my paints :)
I love the one with the dish soap! It's so much more interesting a subtle!
love the experiment-all 3 look great !
Loved how the first one looked!! 😍😍
They are ALL BEAUTIFUL in their own ways! ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing. Im not really into cells but this is really nice. I may experiment with the dish soap.
I really loved the detergent one.
Thanks Olga! Love the experiments! Bring them on!
Love them all, its a mood thing
I'm really surprised to find I like the one with dish soap the most! I've never used silicone or alcohol but I've always loved the cells silicone creates. but in this scenario, with this colour scheme I think the big cells make it quite busy. plus, the colours mixed so beautifully in the one with the soap!
The dish soap one reminds me of watercolor paintings which is really cool. I think they all have interesting looks. I'm curious about how the alcohol would work if poured sooner before it evaporated vs spraying it after the pour. Very interesting!
TFS your experiment and results! This was a great video. My favorite design was with the silicone based color.
🐝🐝🐝
thank you for doing this comparison - sometimes with all the available materials and tutorials out there - its hard to hone in on a special effect and what contributes to it - this helps a ton
Thank you -love your work
Thank you, Cecile! I hear ya! The amount of information about fluid art recipes is overwhelming. But honestly, I think it's just like with cooking - there is no one perfect recipe that works for all. Each "cook" needs to find his own way (of course, based on common principles.... or not😅)
Very cool! I would love to see even more tests and so thankful you did this video! Thanks! I do know that silicon has trouble with contamination and can effect the paintings longevity, but as long as you clean the canvas or surface and seal it your artwork should last the longevity of the paint used. Quality paint rated for the longer periods will last longer no matter how it is used!
I like all of them 😀it’s like 3 sisters. Everyone has their own character
Happy you like them😉
Try Spritzing Isopropyl Alcohol on top of paint you’ll get so many more cells. You’ll love. It works really great over epoxy resin so try it out.💖
Thanks for the tip!😊
😲 WOW , i like it all, but the favorit is the silicon one 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍🙋🏼
You seem like the sweetest person ever! And I LOVE your content! I’m so happy I came across your channel! ❤️
Thank you so much,Tiffany! I'm happy to hear that❤️
Since I don't like lots of cells I really love the results with the dish soap and alcohol, thanks for sharing!!!
I like knowing the different things you can use for cells
Very interesting experiment! I'm glad I know about those additives now.
thank you for checking it out 😉
I like the dish soap, I like the way it looks. I'm going to give it a try!
So grateful I found your channel. I'm just learning about this process. I just received a pour kit. I'm a paper crafter so water color is what I'm familiar with. I think I'm going to love what you can teach me. Great video, I loved all three pieces. ❤️ From Oregon
Thank you, Tia! Have fun playing with new techniques! By the way, I share a lot of info on my website, hope you find it helpful smartartmaterials.com/
I agree with you as I’m also a beginner & find this to be very helpful! 🙏🏻 Thank you Olga
Learned about something new today. Looking forward to trying these out.
All 3 are great. The dish soap is my favorite because the appearance is more subtle and galaxy-like. So cool! Thank you for sharing your talent. :)
Thank you for showing the differences. I haven't yet begun, but I am very interested in this kind of art and I have only seen silicone vs no silicone, so I appreciate the three comparison. Merci infiniment!
This is an EXCELLENT tutorial Olga Dyakuyu 🙂
Hard to say which is more beautiful, they're all different and lovely in their own way, thank you for the experiment😊more😘😘
I'm going for the middle one. Never used dish soap. Going to give I try. Thanks. Loved watching the video. Keep going👍
Silicone hands down 😁 Thank you Olga for sacrificing paint in the name of experimenting!
I know you were looking to see which one made the most cells, and the silicone definitely won that contest. But, I loved the way the colors with the liquid soap flowed together. It looks like something from outer space. The silicone did great cells, but it kinda looks "diseased" to me. 😂
🤭😂
Thank you,it's very nice.
@@bobbyr7948 You're welcome.
Love the dish soap piece! Amazing!
I have never commented on anyone’s video before but I had to take a moment to say thank you for your straightforward comparison of different additives for creating acrylic pour cells! I’ve watched it numerous times!
Thank you for feedback! Happy it was helpful!
As always you are so gracious to share all these wonderful tips with us! The information given by you is so helpful.. you have a wonderful ability to teach!!
All 3 pieces turned out amazing... my favourite is the one the rubbing alcohol one!!💞💞💞
Thank you so much for such a kind comment and great feedback, this means a lot!😘
I like the dish soap result. Thank you for sharing.
Learnt a lot from this and the comments about alcohol , thankyou all !
The left one has some clarity of color. But the middle one is beautiful in a soft way and is my favorite. Regardless of cell amount.
All 3 are lovely
Excellent experiment Olga, interesting and good to know…I like the silicone personally but the others have potential…I never would’ve thought to add either of the other to! Thanks for doing this and for sharing it with us 😻✌️
You're most welcome😘
That experiment was a great outcome of the choices you chose. Love the Silcone then Dawn. But they all do look cool. thank you for playing.
I love how they all look, but definitely the silicone oil works best ❤ very consistent
The silicon one is my favorite, but I usually only love pours with a lot of cells in them 😊 Yours turned out so pretty!
Thanks so much! 😊
I wonder what it would look like if you used all three in the same canvas
I was almost thinking the same, not same canvas but 3 different which are beside each other. Cheers!
Oooooh yeees!!!!
That may work well on a dragged dirty pour.
hmmm mabye too messed
Striped and then pulls through to each?
Very inspiring this kind of experiment, and also very pleased to see how people in the comments share their tips openly, I find it so cool! Same for you Olga! Love and light on you all.
Thank you so much, Violette!😊
Love the second one💗
I got a pour kit for Christmas and can't wait to use it. I like the outcome of all 3. I usually work in oil and in an impressionistic manner, I'm so happy to have found your video.
Happy you like it!😊
All three have different and beautiful qualities and I think most of us were wondering what the differences would be. Thank you so much for doing this video!
Hi Linda! I'm glad that it was helpful!!😊
Amazing!!! Thanks for your sharing and this experiment! It's so cool!!!
All are beautiful and so different!!!!
I love the cells in the silicone pour this also shows me what I did wrong and how to fix thanks great video it covered all my questions in one. ♡
Great demo of all 3. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this! I actually like the silicone the least, its just always too busy IMO. I love the dish soap and the alcohol, they have some cells but not many. I do like that the silicone preserves the vibrancy of the colors though. These are all great in their own way. Interesting. 🤗💖
i like the green that appeared in the dish soap one, it’s so pretty
My fav is the one with the alcohol. Very pretty!
Well, I love all three of your creations. Yours is the first experiment of this type that I was able to follow well. Most of the others I've watched weren't able to keep the differences between the methods used, in order very well. Well done and thanks much.
Mixed media girl also did a dish soap experiment iirc
Thank you for such a great feedback! I'm glad that a was follow-able😀 I love experimenting!
I loved the dish soap. It makes me think it could make a stunning nebula with dark blue, teal, purple, white, red, and yellow.
That is a great idea!
I’ve actually done that- and did a whole space scene on an 8x10 canvas for my dad, it even had rhinestones on it once fully dry for star effects.... lol
All of them look great.
i love all three they all came out well!
my students enjoyed all three
Shouldn't you be adding a couple drops of dish soap directly to the paint and not diluted? I mean it makes sense to me. This was a very informative and cool video to watch. From one artist to another I am definitely going to experiment with my paints. BTW WOW at all those paints on the rack behind you!
Thank you! I decided to dilute for my first experiment as I wasn't sure if it's going to be to thick in the paint. But now I know I would be just fine. I did Chameleon cells with dish soap and it worked out great
@@OlgaSoby
Can you please do a tutorial with dish soap added directly from the bottle into the paint without dilution.
OK found it, already made. Thanks.
ruclips.net/video/h-z4JH76NJs/видео.html
@@OlgaSoby Oh how beautiful they must of been. Can you do a video on this. What about adding say Sweet Almond oil or an oil? That would be interesting.
@@moriganna67ify I didn't add Sweet Almond oil, but I have few other ideas with "what else I can add" for cells. I will definitely share in the video. And here is the first chameleon test with dish soap ruclips.net/video/h-z4JH76NJs/видео.html
It's an experiment. There is no right or wrong way. In art...all rules are broken and nothing make sense...That's what being an artist is all about. Pushing every boundary to its limit and then going even further.
I got interested in acrylic pouring a couple weeks ago and this video was very helpful. I will definitely have to try adding silicone because that looks amazing!!! Subscribed for sure ✌️
Welcome to acrylic pouring world 😄 Caution, it's very addictive!
If you are new to this, I highly recommend checking out some articles on my website, I share a lot of info here smartartmaterials.com/
It’s interesting how they all have different results I really enjoyed the result from the dish soap the best
All three are super pretty!!!
I use dish soap more, but variety goes a long way. So I like all 3.
Pre school teachers add a few drops of dish soap to a cup of tempra paint to make it stick to all the different materials we paint with the kids. It also makes it easier to clean up! Maybe the first artist to add it to acrylic was also a teacher of young children.
Thanks for sharing, Laura!😊
I love the one with the dish soap!!!!
This is EXACTLY what I needed to see. Thank you for doing this video.
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Thanks for the lesson; I'll be trying the dish soap
Have fun with it! I just posted one more video experimenting with dish soap - very promising results!
#1 beautiful. #2 quite delicate, and #3 much larger cells taking up more room. Loving all of them for different techniques.
I like all 3, good job. Must do repeat. I will keep watching, cool!
