I love your playlist for beginners: finally someone who is clearly explaining what are the different pouring methods and pros and cons for each, how to get the right consistency to make cells and how it works, why it is important to clean the paint... And not just starting at the flip cup stage... Thank you, thank you, thank you! Have a wonderful day and please continue :)
+Aurélie Aldinger I'm very happy to hear that. There is lots of confusion and questions out there but most of people don't bother getting informed first. Would just help to avoid disappointment. That's all. Good luck and lots of fun
Thank you so much! I have to know "why" to fully understand a process. I've seen many, many videos about this beautiful art form but this is the best "why" explanation.
Nice to have someone explain things before jumping in. I have experienced the "oh no....I bought the wrong stuff" feeling with resin. Another expensive hobby. Watching your video with explanations is precisely what is needed by someone like me.....who wants to play.....but can't afford to flush money or buy stuff that will not accomplish what I want to achieve! Thank you and I have subscribed and saved your informative videos.
Thanks so much. Happy you like it. Didnt have a chance to paint since a while unfortunately but hoping to get back to it soon. Check out the basics playlist
This is really quite good! I stumbled on your Floetrol video yesterday while searching for info about cell activation using US Floetrol and Owatrol Easy Flow (EU Floetrol) - Australian Floetrol is way out of my price range! Now, I'm watching your basics playlist. Over the last 2 months, I've watched hundreds of acrylic pouring tutorials (have not poured yet ☹︎); so, when I say your video is really quite good, I have a broad base for comparison! As an absolute egghead, I feel the need to be educated before starting an endeavor to better understand the various techniques (how), technical principles (why), and materials and supplies needed (what). So many people use so many recipes that work well for them, but don't really know why they work. Understanding the mechanical and chemical principles of how paints interact and flows to achieve desired results helps me simplify the process and make better choices of mediums and additives. Ultimately, experimentation is key, but why not start from a broader knowledge base? Incidentally, here's an article about watering down Golden acrylic paints: justpaint.org/how-much-water-can-you-safely-add-to-acrylic-paint/ Thank you for your efforts in making these videos! I look forward the rest of this playlist and to start actually pouring!
Thank you SO much for guiding me with these steps! I never used this medium before and on other videos, they assume you know these things. I am truly grateful that you offer a beginners playlist. Keep it up! Thank you!
Amazing. The time you've taken over this is amazing. Given it's a bit of a dull subject you actually made it really interesting. Things much sense! Thank you so much for this.
Hi Santana. I wish I had found only your videos before I watched 100's of others. Your explanation on anything to do with this Art technique is so very valuable for us beginners. You inspire us to just simply give it a go. Which I have. Thank you. Thank you
@@PouringArtExperience Thank you for your reply. It really is encouraging for us beginners when an amazing, talented and very helpful Artist as you are, takes time to reply. Thank you so much. Cheers from Australia
I didn't realise their were so many processes! I'm keen to give it a go some time, I really appreciate the advice on keeping it cheap to start off as I am one of those people who would spend a lot to get a good quality piece but then mess it all up because I've never done it before.
I've just got into acrylic pouring and watched a lot of videos where they go on about how you must have the right consistency, but you are the only one so far to properly explain what that consistency should look like! Art and science really do go hand in hand, and it really helps so much to understand the science behind this, so thank you very much! xo
+carrotfaery thanks so much. I indeed often have the idea there is lots of confusion out there based on missunderstanding. So very happy it helps. Thanks for watching
Hi. Please be kind with comments. This is my opinion I share and there might be more or different advise or knowledge. I try to help here to understand what's going on with this art form. So no need for "know it all" comments.. Just give it a thumb's up if you like it please!
FluidArtbySantanaHagedorn - thank you so much for a very simple and understandable way of explaining the chemistry of acrylic paint pouring with additives, brilliant explanation.
Thank you for your clear, no nonsense explanation. I love your pouring methods and will continue to follow your example. I too am Dutch but live in Australia. 🎨👍
Thank you for your plain and simple explanation of this process. I have seen others but they seem to make it more complicated than it really needs to be lol xx
I can totally relate to Santanas comment above, as an addict to pouring techniques, I almost had to learn chemistry of the this lovely art form. I have absolutely learnt from this video and will be using mediums with a bit more knowledge. thank you Santana
Thank you very much for the basic " getting started" info video. I was confused about how all these pouring ingredients work but desperate to have a go at fluid painting. It is so beautiful (and fun) and I feel better able to try it now. Thank you Santana. Anne ( Scotland).
very informative and giving the beginner all they always want to know ! Clear, easy to understand and professional explanation ! It was definitely worth making "speaking" video. You are a brilliant tutor, thank you
Bravo really , very logical and important explanation for beginners especially. Experienced ones already know these through their repeat and learn process but for me only helpful video so far after watching maybe dozens of others , thank you 🌺🌹🌻🌷🥀🏵
I agree with the others. I like to know why things work. This is the best explanation I have come across. Thank you. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
You have a wonderful understanding and explanation of the paints !! I'm recommending you to new people!! I found you a few days ago then I lost you..but you're back!!! Excellent tutorial!
Thank you so much! I first saw this art form only about 2 months ago, and have yet to do my first “real” pour, mainly because I’ve been trying to educate myself as much as possible, finding out why paints do what they do. I see that most people seem to approach from an artistic point of view, where I approach more from a scientific or informational point of view, using science to create art (if that makes any sense). Your method of explanation is wonderful. I’m adding you to my “favorites” list, and have subscribed to your channel.
+Marianne Iwanski Thanks so much. What a nice compliment. I just saw so many people getting desperate and upset with their Paintings because there is a lack of understanding. And there are a lot of great tutorials but little about what's behind it. Happy you like it. Seems we have the same approach. Thanks for watching
just wow i wish i wouldve known this channel much much earlier, your videos are really helpfull thanks for all the tipps and tricks and how to's much love from germany
Thank you for this video! I'm sorry you seemed so nervous recording it for us all, but I am vwery thankful for your information! Please keep up the great work!
This was indeed my first ever video with talking. But I really needed to get it "out" as there is so much myth and missunderstanding out there. Since then I added more educational videos to the basic playlist. Happy you like it
I heard some details about pouring I never heard before. So, it is amazing. Great video and keep them going. I appreciate your effort very much. Thank you
GREAT VIDEO! Wish I'd had this when I first started. Look forward to your other's. I've been pouring for the past four months, make many and some amazing ones. Yes, it is a very addictive love of art.
I think I'm one of those people that it's been way too much money. But the most of my money was spent on paint variance and my torch. It was like 26 American dollars. The canvases for on sale a lot of the paint was on sale except for your specialty paints. I always have my 50% off coupon for Michaels, or I can pick up extra paint if needed. Thank you for another great video teaching me how and why the chemicals react to each other the way they do in the glue all which is what I use, as well as the paints are the floetrol if you use that. I'm not too familiar yet with all of the paint extenders. Hopefully I will gain enough knowledge should be able to put my $200 worth have money to go juice. LOL I had to get a lot of pain because I am not very good at mixing colors. I used to be and it probably wouldn't take me long to get the hand of it again and I do remember my color wheel from high school, which is half the battle. Working with complimentary colors triadic colors whatever you choose they have to go together or they will not produce anything but mud in those areas were the colors come in contact with each other. So far the three in one liquid drops which is very hard to control. I might need to find another container with a better dropper or a better at small spray bottle. Again thanks for the video I look forward to more of the learning part and why we do what we do. And let's keep doing it. Take care and God bless Deb
Btw.. There IS archival PVA ie book binder glue and there is many articles out there in the paint pour community that would indicate that any good quality PVA glue is archival? .. I'm only saying what I've read .. We will only know what is archival once our pour paintings have been around many years .. We are all learning .. Thanks again for the tutorial as you make great points 👍
I bought a ‘builders’ stabilizing solution. (That’s how it is spelt??) I did a lot of chemistry at school many moons ago lol. So l knew that all these expensive mediums you put into paint to stretch the bonds needed support. But you confirmed all this. I have had difficulty with cell sizes and amounts. Due to my fluidity. Slowly though l guess. I see a lot of “painters” that paint fine art did this type of artwork. And see it as easy and not worthy of credit but l disagree. There’s a lot more to it than they think they believe. Sorry for the rant. I also paint abstract but never true life. Not so good to show any of that lol.
+Emma Lane it's always a matter of opinion but to say it's not worth it is just rude. Also I think you can make much more with it than just flip cups. And it's not as easy as it looks right :-) thanks for watching
A very sensible straight forward explanation, there is one point that you did not cover which is the natural density of paints. Some paint pigments are heavier than others and this will also effect the making of cells. A little complicated but worth looking into. Thanks.
True. Could talk about that. But I think for most of the people starting and to really understand the basics of what happens when they do things it's more a second level knowledge. But I'll definitely think of a FAQ.
+Marita Wittstadt super. Danke schön. Das war ja echt ein Kampf mit dem Untertitel. Dachte ich mache das Mal eben ... ;-)... 2,5 Stunden später.. hahahaha
I was given paints, canvases and Liquitex Gloss Gel for Christmas so I can begin to play with acrylic pouring. Is this Liquitex Gloss Gel the correct medium for acrylic pouring? I am excited to get started but not sure if I have the right medium. Your help will be most appreciated. Thank you, Barbara, USA
Great video, thank you! I was just wondering how long sould we wait till we clean the canvas before varnishing? Does it depend on the paint or the medium we used or is there a recommended time to wait?
One request.... I have been wondering if it's necessary to treat the canvas in some way even before starting with the base colour. In this video I came to know that it's important to treat the canvas with gesso or primer. So if you could PLEASE make a video on how to apply gesso. My request might be very basic to you, but that's because I've never ever tried this kind of painting.
No normally your canvas is pre-gessoed. Also a base is covering it perfectly fine. Normally you don't need any gesso. Only for like wood but you can also paint it with normal acrylic. Its just for the purpose of not soaking in to much paint / liquid. Thats all it is. But if you want to use it just paint it on with a brush
Would heat applied to the back of the canvas, heating the acrylic from the bottom help the cell formation process? Maybe by having the canvas on a raised mount so the heat tool could be used. Thoughts?
Hi,.I'm from India and I so SO wish to make one of these paintings. But I'm kind of scared to even start. It's been almost an year that I have been watching and learning this form art... online ofcourse. I have even taken down notes from your video. Soon I'll try one and I hope that it's even ok enough so that I can share it with you and get your genuine comments on it. .
I am just learning pouring, but have achieved a couple successful ones. Your videos have been a great help! But, you say no more than 30% water or medium. My favorite ones are more like 95% medium and some fluid acrylic ink. What do you think about this procedure?
+linda reinhold I have never worked with inks and Pouring medium. I know ink or Pouring medium with Acrylic. So can't really comment. I'm happy you liked the video and that you found it helpful! Thanks for watching
I noticed that you have a little tremor (shake). Do you have ET (Essential Tremors)? I have it and am always looking for more information about it. Love your work, thanks!
+DL Sten thank you. can't tell where it comes from. It also comes and goes. From just a tiny bit to yeah .. more. Another benefit of this artform that you don't need a steady hand. Thanks for watching
Sounds like ET. Mine is the same way, can go for a while with nothing or only slight tremors, then will have difficulty performing some tasks because it becomes... more. I take some medicine (Inderal) that helps with it. But, like you said, at least this type of art doesn't require a steady hand (although I have had some paint end up in other places because of a sudden tremor).THANKS again!
Hi I love your work and appreciate you doing videos to help all learn this process. But I do want to say that I am pretty sure that fluid art has been around since the 90s if not earlier it's just an art form that is more sporadic and comes in big and then Fades out and various techniques. But please continue I know that all artist can continue with this process and make it a standout technique.
+Fran Simontacchi I absolutely agree. Lots of things have been around and then reinvented or given a modern touch at a different time. I just see it becoming more and more popular at this point. And I like to do it ;-) Thanks for watching and commenting

Floetrol will not change overtime. Any changes that do occur will be due to the natural aging of the paint.
One request.... I have been wondering if it's necessary to treat the canvas in some way even before starting with the base colour. In this video I came to know that it's important to treat the canvas with gesso or primer. So if you could PLEASE make a video on how to apply gesso.
My request might be very basic to you, but that's because I've never ever tried this kind of painting.
No normally your canvas is pre-gessoed. Also a base is covering it perfectly fine. Normally you don't need any gesso. Only for like wood but you can also paint it with normal acrylic. Its just for the purpose of not soaking in to much paint / liquid. Thats all it is. But if you want to use it just paint it on with a brush
@@PouringArtExperience Thank you !
Would heat applied to the back of the canvas, heating the acrylic from the bottom help the cell formation process? Maybe by having the canvas on a raised mount so the heat tool could be used. Thoughts?
No dont think so. Also sounds very unpraktikabel
Hi,.I'm from India and I so SO wish to make one of these paintings. But I'm kind of scared to even start. It's been almost an year that I have been watching and learning this form art... online ofcourse. I have even taken down notes from your video. Soon I'll try one and I hope that it's even ok enough so that I can share it with you and get your genuine comments on it. .
I am just learning pouring, but have achieved a couple successful ones. Your videos have been a great help! But, you say no more than 30% water or medium. My favorite ones are more like 95% medium and some fluid acrylic ink. What do you think about this procedure?
+linda reinhold I have never worked with inks and Pouring medium. I know ink or Pouring medium with Acrylic. So can't really comment. I'm happy you liked the video and that you found it helpful! Thanks for watching
so when you say archival, do you mean it will not last as long as a dedicated pouring medium?
thank you for showing my girlfriend how to fill the living room with color
wosch666 Ja..Ja.. Schuldigung für süchtig machen. Vielen lieben Dank für das Kommentar
Three weeks for varnish 😫 oh the agony of waiting !
If I don’t use oil in my paint, do I need to wait 3 weeks before varnishing?
Yes its about letting the paint itself dry thru and thru
FluidArtbySantanaHagedorn - ok thank you. I appreciate the quick reply. Great videos!
How do you clean it?
Soap. There is a short video in that too
I noticed that you have a little tremor (shake). Do you have ET (Essential Tremors)? I have it and am always looking for more information about it. Love your work, thanks!
+DL Sten thank you. can't tell where it comes from. It also comes and goes. From just a tiny bit to yeah .. more. Another benefit of this artform that you don't need a steady hand. Thanks for watching
Sounds like ET. Mine is the same way, can go for a while with nothing or only slight tremors, then will have difficulty performing some tasks because it becomes... more. I take some medicine (Inderal) that helps with it. But, like you said, at least this type of art doesn't require a steady hand (although I have had some paint end up in other places because of a sudden tremor).THANKS again!
+DL Sten also without that I end up with paint everywhere. Keep enjoying!
Hi I love your work and appreciate you doing videos to help all learn this process. But I do want to say that I am pretty sure that fluid art has been around since the 90s if not earlier it's just an art form that is more sporadic and comes in big and then Fades out and various techniques. But please continue I know that all artist can continue with this process and make it a standout technique.
+Fran Simontacchi I absolutely agree. Lots of things have been around and then reinvented or given a modern touch at a different time. I just see it becoming more and more popular at this point. And I like to do it ;-) Thanks for watching and commenting
Thank you.
+Linda Lawrence yw and thanks for watching
