As a non artist trying to get into this new hobby I appreciate your clear explanation. It IS a lot more complicated than it looks. Your paintings are lovely. I’m saving this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Probably the best explanation I have seen for a Dutch pour! And the painting is exquisite! Thank you.
Wow, thank you! I’m so glad you liked it.
OMG! Of the hundreds of videos I've watched, you uniquely convey meaningful dialog. Taking nothing away from the abundant videos giving us visual instruction for paint pouring, your explanation has given me more help as a novice artist than anything else I've watched. Thank you. I just hope you are a teacher as your side hustle because if not, the profession is missing out on a great instructor!
Hahah!! I’m not a teacher but I grew up in a family full of teachers. I ended up taking on a teaching role in my corporate job and I loved it! Now my goal is to bring understanding and confidence to those on their fluid art journey so others can find the same enjoyment in the practice of art as I have. Thank you for your kind words. You have encouraged me more than you know.
I want to tell you that I’ve been painting for over 4 yrs now. I’ve never had an explanation of the different paints and how to layer them effectively! Thank you so much for the information Becca 🥰
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Becca you are sensational in every way!! Thank you so much. I’ve watched so many videos by different artists over a 3 year period and you are tops-very special. Beautiful person and magnificent work❤️
Awww thank you! What a compliment!
Very clear explanations. Thank you for taking the time to explain this. Your painting is beautiful!!
You are so welcome!
One one the most helpful basic videos I have seen on it and encourages me.
Thank you so much your video has been very helpful to me, I started painting less than two years ago at the age of 73 having so much pleasure with us and videos like yours really help me a lot, again thank you!
You are so welcome!
Every time you post, I go somewhere peaceful and watch/listen to you. You are so reliable. I know that in your explanations I will learn something new or be affirmed in something I had been thinking about. Thank you for your unrestrained sharing and for your honesty.
BTW, I love how the white makes the petals looked polished.
Wow, thank you for sharing that with me. I try to be a light amongst so much darkness

Very informative and helpful. And the product is beautiful.
Glad it was helpful!
Just stumbled across your channel while scrolling RUclips & the colors of your piece is what caught my eyes !! I absolutely LOVE Blues. I have been pouring for several years & enjoy many of the techniques out there. I have been a Sub of Olgas since I very first started & adore her & her work. I have learned countless "recipes" & have had sucess with each, & do not believe there is just any ONE "magical recipe mix" that is going to change anyone's ability to create beautiful artwork no matter the technique. However, as you pointed out, there are many very important tips to becoming more skilled. All of the tips you mentioned are all very important & will be extremely helpful to anyone who may be struggling or are just starting out. You created a great video & I noticed in the comments that MANY are very thankful to you for sharing these tips & you very kindly replied to the each , I also noticed that anyone who metioned Olgas class did not receive a reply & it just makes me curious as to why. I absolutely am not trying to imply anything negative , just simply curious just as I am curious as to why, after so many years of Olga being one of the very most popular, highly subbed to Channels that she decided to start charging her many many subs who helped greatly making her channel what it is today . Thank you for the great video 😊😊
I’m not sure?!? It definitely wasn’t intentional not to comment on anyone who mentioned Olga’s class. I’m a huge fan as well as she has been my main inspiration for this method. Thanks for your kind words. :)
Becca, thank you so much for taking time to teach in this video. You are a very pleasant person to watch and listen to. Your art is beautiful.

@@beccaharkinsartI’m about to create a 6’x5’ acrylic pour, the biggest one I’ll make yet! I plan on using the standard opaque, metallic, and pearl acrylics. I’m so excited!
Just to make sure I understand what you’re saying, it’s best to pour opaque, transparent, opaque, transparent, etc. so the colors remain vibrant and bold, correct? Also, what’s the best way to determine the composition?
Thank you in advance for your input!
