You are truly a teacher. I have watched dozens of artists giving different methods but none explaining, why they are doing what they are doing. You explained the why behind your instructions. So helpful, thank you so much. Your work's also beautiful and I look forward to following you.

[@donaljolley8222]

Gina, if you store your materials upside down, with the cap at the bottom (tightly sealed, of course!) they will be airtight and less likely to clump.

[@ArtbyLC]

Brilliant video - really helpful for this particular ‘newbie’. Thank you so much.

[@ariesgirl3444]

Beautiful painting Gina. Although I have done quite a few pours and watched a whole lot of videos, this is the most helpful video of the whole process from A to Z. Thank you.

[@GinaDeLuca]

Thank you! I tried to think of all the issues I had when I first started. Hopefully, it will help others avoid making the same mistakes!

[@ariesgirl3444]

You nailed it Gina.

[@santababy1952]

All of my favorite colors in one painting. I simply LOVE it!

[@lizhamilton5934]

Thank you soooo much for teaching all of these aspects! Beautiful!

[@cjromb]

This was so so helpful! All the tips and information about things like transparency, and how to layer, and flexi-straws, and on and on....thank you very much for putting this together. :) . Plus, cute funny! My favorite was the part about the spackle knife's new life. I'll bet it's way happier now.

[@nancy9704]

Thank you so much, Gina DeLuca, for making this very informative video! I really learned a lot. I haven't done acrylic pouring before, but I plan on doing it after studying the technique for awhile, and this video was truly a good tool of study. :)

[@ZenaHerbert]

This is immensely helpful, thank you, and so thoroughly explained. I love to know the 'why' of what we do and you are the tops at this. Thank you again.

Thank you 😊

[@janwelsman]

This has been very helpful. Good paced advice and guidance ending with a wonderful pour

[@Danielle-nz9tn]

Thank you so much for all your explanation of how paints behave, how they work together, etc. I really appreciate the effort that goes into trying to explain these details clearly for beginners as you are working. Thanks...this is a video I will continue to revisit over and over, I’m sure :)

[@maurachambers3797]

This turned out absolutely beautiful! Love the colours and the composition. Love the idea of using the syringe to inject into the painting👍🏼

The nylon on the floetrol is a great ideal! I was thinking I needed to get a strainer or something to run it through to keep the lumps out of my paint.

[@LegitMinnesotaAngel]

At 43, I'm only just now rediscovering how relaxing and fun creating is. I really appreciate the detail in your explanations and the pace of your video. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and being willing to teach. ❤️

Tried my very first string pull. But thank you for the detailed description on pouring. Excellent info for newbies!

So. The specific products used here is Acrylic paint (with specifically a Titanium white, here used is Liquitex Basics (~$10/color)), Floetrol® Latex-Based Paint Additive (~$23), Ogx Coconut Milk Serum (~$7), B'laster 16-SL Industrial Strength Silicone Lubricant (~$10), isopropyl alcohol, (~$6) and water.

The best part of this video was saying you eyeball your recipes because you’re Italian! LOL! I’m Italian and use my eyes to measure too! I’ve been pouring for about 2 months while recovering from open heart surgery to replace my Aortic Valve. Now I’m hooked on this! Can’t get enough! Doing great! Ready to try a craft show next month. I’m using canvas but also wood, record albums and frisbees ( both becoming wall clocks) . Take care and hugs from one Paisana to another!

Congratulations on your first show! I hope it's a smashing success!

[@GinaDeLuca]

Wonderful! I’m glad it was helpful.

[@vivaladolcevita10]

You have some really great tips that I haven't seen on the other videos I've seen so far. Thank you!

[@cynrich1]

Once it's dry, I wash the painting with Dawn to remove the silicone. Then dry completely (another couple of weeks) before varnish or clear-cote or lacquer is added. Not washing it can result in "orange peel" texture as the silicone fights with the sealer.

[@GinaDeLuca]

Yes. They need to be cleaned well prior to varnishing. I'll be doing a video on that soon.

[@Flowerpower65]

I think this is the first that I have heard about washing the painting. Very good information to know.

[@Imdancerd]

Well crap. 😂 Thank you for the info, I’m glad to know it now at least!

Is this just a light soap and water cleaning? Damp? B/4 Varnish? Thank you@@GinaDeLuca

I've watched a tonnnnnnnnn of videos on the science of pour painting, (I truly feel like this type of art is not only a freedom of expression and imagination, but also does fall under the category of scientific) this video is by far the most well thought out, amazingly presented and one of the most useful tools I have seen when wanting to understand the ins and outs of pour painting for beginners. I want to thank you so much for taking the time to make such an amazing video for us fellow pour painters!!!

This video came up on auto-play on KZbin . WOW! This is awesome! Using the nylons, the 10% floetrol in the water & the alcohol are fantastic ideas that I am going to incorporate into my mixing.

Just water

Do you rub water into canvas so there is no pulling or rotting at corners? And do you wait for it to dry b 4 painting on canvas surface which helps with circulation of air and drying time?

I'm a beginner. I am still confused by the ratios of paint and pouring medium. My 1st one was today. I love the colors, but the picture is a disaster. I ended up with empty, bare spots on the canvas, and I guess white wasn't diluted enough. I'd be embarrassed to show it, but it was fun to try.

[@GinaDeLuca]

Empty bare spot are probably due to silicone on your canvas. Did you do a base coat?
