Hi everyone, just wanted to be clear on the whole "I will tell you more about myself" topic... I do NOT plan on telling the KZbin world about my personal life etc... The video I was referring to was about telling my viewers about me and my art journey.. that is all. So please do not worry about me telling the world about my deepest darkest secrets or very personal things about myself. That will not be happening. I was thinking about doing a LIVE video.. and do it like a Q & A... what do you think?

[@tanzanite8908]

Kanella Ciraco Art rewatching this vid... you are fairly clear that the topic was going to relate to balancing both sides of your life focusing on the art aspect. It would be interesting to hear how you got into art and painting, and how you got into selling your pieces.

[@monicaestupinan5965]

Kanella Ciraco Art could you do a Dutch pour on different colors other than white or black? Maybe try a blue, teal, or green background color. That would be very interesting if it turned out well.

[@lynnedyer9141]

I think that would be great, By the way, how is the new job going?

[@trudyauxier1853]

The metallic painting with gold is fantastic

[@janetbaker3616]

I think almost any pour looks more stunning in black background rather than white. Black sets off the colors much more, in my humble watcher opinion. We are thankful for all you do. We are so happy when you are pleased and excited about your work.

[@tinaprocaccini4351]

Not only the gold, but the whole painting has a glow. It's gorgeous

[@Love72Yourself]

And screw the idiots. Brush it off girl. I'd love to get to know you better. We are all humans and are intertwined. I'd love to know more. Please do a video telling us more. People that don't want to watch don't have to but I surely do

[@DebraQuenqua]

One of your absolute best canvases! Even on the black negative space it looks like the gold is there too! Yes, more about you and your family! I loved the video of Juno waking up the kids. He was so tiny then!

[@carolnilberg8248]

First of all forget about all the hateful mails you may get , just keep on doing what you do!We are a community and we love you. Thank you for teaching us.

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

That would in very interesting to know how you deal with it! Don't share anything too personal, for your own safety!! Would love to know your art background! This might be fun done as a collab with others like Tammy, Molly, Erica, etc. Could always do it while creating your paint mixes if #63 needs an update? Doing both Shelee and dutch pour paints?

[@terirodgers3333]

Brilliant idea to update #63. Or just continue sharing, Kanella, while we watch you paint. Tidbits keep things interesting. Dutch pours and Shellye Technique are definitely my favorite of your artwork.

[@lishar2573]

Kanella, you are one of my favorite KZbinrs to both watch and listen to. I would love to know more about your art journey and how you manage to find time for all the different parts of it with everything else you have going on. Doing a separate video or a live Q & A is a great idea! And this piece came out beautiful!

[@76-mom]

Be yourself KANELLA. Your so down to earth. Your right, people can fast forward or. Change the the station. I'm cooking dinner at the same time I have you on, on my tablet and I look forward for a new story of your life or paintings. I'm 72 and honestly life goes by faster than you think. It's so uplifting seeing you do what you love. You are sharing the love thank you thank you thank you

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

aww thanks so much Josie...

[@janebrownell6828]

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR BAD MANNERS! You go girl! Love everything you post!

[@terirodgers3333]

Yes, please share your painting history with us. You and your artwork are fascinating. You are a friend to me and I love to get to know my friends better. You are hilarious, fiesty, an encourager, so flexible at taking new risks and people's suggestions, creative, and such an inspiration to me. Ok, Black and White is a definite favorite, along with metallics and iridescents.

[@lorimorales1008]

This black pour is absolutely gorgeous!!! The colors pop and it is quite stunning. Can't wait to try it!

[@bonneymoseley2744]

Awesome!! Love the colors and display of your skill! Yes would gladly and eagerly watch a video about you! I love how you talk to us while you paint. Thank you!

[@carolynyerby361]

It's so beautiful. It looks like there's a light behind the painting. Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous

[@charlottedavis9769]

Your life is your life. We love you & you tell what you want. If they don’t like your channel they can get off. You are doing a great 👍 job.......look how many people follow you & buy your amazing paintings. Keep up the fantastic work. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎁👍👌😊

[@terribeaudoin5020]

Beautiful job with the metallics. Love you and Juno.Please keep us as informed as you are comfortable with.

[@suryaprofessor]

Beautiful I love it

[@beverlydawntrumble7573]

I just wanted to tell you that I love watching your videos the most. I love hearing your short stories of Juno or whatever while you are painting. So yes I would love to know more of how you juggle your life😊

[@liztrentham6921]

Wow, what a beauty! About talking about yourself, there are artist that I watch that never talk, you never see their face and play iffy music over and over. They are very good so I watch! I think it's a good idea to know about the artist and you and others make it personal already which is great. Knowing you better could never be a bad thing. However, that would not make me watch your videos any more as I watch all of them anyway. Sometimes I watch certain ones multiple times. Love your work! ❤

[@EDBailley]

I agree with Melissa only share what you feel comfortable with sharing with us, we would love to know more about you. I love love how this piece turned out, so beautiful.

[@lindagloria6435]

I love watching you create and chat. I would love to learn more about the artist that I so enjoy everyday. Your down to earth attitude is what I enjoy and it makes watching more personable ❤ Love ya hun, dont stop being you despite the cold people that may be negative.

[@acl006]

I would definately love to hear how you juggle your art with your normal life. The amount of videos you put up is really impressive especially with the fact that you work as well. You’re right, some people just want to see the art, that’s what the swipe bar is for- they can fast forward it! I will never understand why people criticise how long some videos are?! What the hell!! Anyhoo, this painting is amazing! So many times the black just swallows up the colour, but this is amazing- especially for such a big size. You are still the absolute best with the hairdryer!!

[@sherryphillips6796]

You are amazing. Tell your story girl! The painting turned out wonderful! I love the way you get so excited!

[@Ottomatik71]

I’m one of the ‘happy ones watching you do what you’re doing!’ Always happy when I get the notification of a new video from you. I’ve been doing my Dutch pours without blowing the pain over as well! You’ve taught me much! Along with Tammy, Rinske, and Molly! You 4 taught me everything I know about this wonderful paint pouring adventure! Molly did an ‘about me’ video in the past! Was great! Made me feel like we grew as friends. 😂😂😂 But seriously, yes! Do an ‘about me’ video! Let’s grow our friendship! Thanks again for the education you share with us!

[@Ottomatik71]

Just finished the video! Wow!!! That is stunning! That gold! 😳😳😳

[@pattipatterson3123]

All I can say is WOW...Gorgeous. The gold wound up at the edges because it was the last color you put on and the first one to move. If you had out it on the canvas first it would have stayed in the middle more. It's so amazing to see you get so excited about your art. You inspire a lot of us and here's hoping you can get big enough to quit that 9 to 5 and do this full time. We love seeing you.

[@tkparrish31]

Wow! Love how the pink is spread out! In addition to how the gold went to the edges.

[@Frostyblu]

OMG. I'm new to this style of painting. I absolutely love this. It's amazing how the painting changes as it dries and how the cells multiply. So pretty. Something to be proud of. 💜

[@dawnvavra5992]

Ka-bling!!! Fabulous colours and tons of "happy'! This amazing piece reflects your joy of painting. Just beautiful!

[@velveteyepatch]

I’m one of those people who doesn’t like super long-winded people, but I can honestly say you aren’t one of those people. You definitely don’t talk too much. You’re very informative and interesting. Keep doing what you’re doing! :D

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

why thank you!

[@articufixrubin3106]

Beautiful piece! As far as sharing personal information-that’s completely up to you. I think you are already more than generous in sharing your art with us!

[@katharinecooper9645]

I enjoy personal stories as you paint!

[@maryherrera2735]

I’m a sucker for anything with sparkle and bling...💜💙💚 Yes! Share some snippets of yourself! I think I began watching your videos when you were doing puddle pours and flooding around them. I actually like both...flooding and not flooding.

[@jackevelynb]

I don’t flood my pours due to you and I’m so happy. It does make a huge difference. I find that you should use extra paint in your lines, this helps move the paint easily when blowing. I would love to hear more about you Kanella. This piece is beautiful. I love 24 k gold extreme sheen. ❤️

[@diherself9778]

You do you, however you want. 👍 The Deco Art Extreme Sheen 24K Gold is THE go-to if one is using gold! I do more straight pours than Dutch, and my icons are Mina Villegas and Sarah Mack. Both use the 24K extensively and it is divine! YOU, m’dear, were the first acrylic artist I found on KZbin and most definitely set the hook for me to explore this art method. Thank YOU! This is a glorious piece 🎉🎉🎉

[@ritesideup]

I love what you do and listening to you always makes me smile. I cannot imagine anyone feeling the need to be mean or rude to someone they clicked on. If they don't like something don't listen. There are some people I don't care about listening to but I would never feel the need to tell them that. You, Tammy, Molly and Leslie, are a few that I listen to everything said. I actually hate when the four of you don't talk but I watch anyway. Keep making art and say whatever you like. I am a fan.

[@jamingammy6817]

I love decoart paint & their stains!

[@AcrylicPouringWorld]

OMG that is ravishingly beautiful, well done Kanella. We who watch the videos all through feel that we know you quite well and love you. It is up to you how much info you give out about yourself, just be careful, there are some weird people out there. Whatever you decide, we are here for you xxxxxx

[@kayweinland5638]

Yes please! Love hearing about you! I appreciate all you do for all of us and I feel like I know you already. I live alone you and other you tubers keep me company . I am SO grateful! Plus you have mega talent girl. You are amazing! Very inspirational. ❤️👍

[@Meloniesharp143]

The old gold. Pure gold. 14k and 24k folk art all seem to give the same awesome effects! They have been my go to for gold for a long time because of the cool effects. The decoart is awesome too. Try it in a swipe sometime x

[@tnelson157]

I love your attitude Kanella! You are amazing and your artwork is amazing! Glad you don't listen to the negative Nellie's. I would love to hear about you and keep posting like you always do, you are not only talented, but entertaining!

[@gloriasgallery820]

Addressing those who put in thumbs down..... They shouldn’t even be there. These are sights to support the artist. If you really don’t care for the video or the painting done and you have a constructive comment, put it in the comments. Don’t mess with the artists rating. They all work very hard!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

thanks you Gloria - unfortunately there are jealous people out there and most do it on purpose just ot screw with my ratings... what can ya do!

[@gloriasgallery820]

Just really irritates me when you are so good. Glad you have that attitude!

[@jonniwood6306]

It's funny to hear you say you will probably never flood again. I saw your first non-flooded canvas. You thought it was a fail. Haha. We're constantly evolving with our art. Love this one!

[@lizreynolds4554]

Oh my Goodness! I wish I could afford this, but I am broke. Whoever gets this is gonna be so happy. You are so talented. I love that you teach as you share. Comments about the Metallics being thicker are very helpful to newbies like me. 🤔🤗 As to learning more about you personally, I would like that too. I am always curious about how you and others can get so much done. You are so organized and dedicated. I don't think you talk too much. I like your accent, and your tips. Thanks again for sharing and inspiring us. Huggles always 🖌🎨👩‍🎨💖🍀🦓🇺🇸⭐

[@priscilla3211]

It’s absolutely beautiful. I love the Black background.

[@Hapted]

I Love it when you get so "Excited With Your Art" it's Stunning Kanella & seeing you get soo Excited shows your "Proud of You Art & Selling it"... Would love to have longer Videos & Anything you are comfortable sharing with us... I love Juno's Channel as well because we get to hear you playing with Him, so I find it more of a "VLOG" Channel... Which is Awesome he is just Adorable & Soo Soo Funny😂

[@Mcv0283]

This came out so amazing!! Love the black canvas with brilliant/metallic colors. I hope to see many more!

[@karencornell6550]

Love this piece. Funny about the personal thing because while walking my dog this morning I was thinking the same thing and had decided to email you. Many of us are on similar journeys in the art world and it feels like family. I particularly love how you put your emotions out there when you paint. That's what art is all about. Thankyou Kanella you are a gem.

[@pamelaconkin1361]

Absolutely beautiful. It looks like its under the ocean

[@Farfromgaspe]

Yes, would love to hear how you juggle it all. I was so excited when I started watching because I love when I find Canadian artists. I currently live in the United States but I am originally from Gaspe, QC.

[@deannwilson3553]

Absolutely gorgeous. Love love the colors on the black background.

[@TheChantaleconan]

Love watching your videos, and yes would love to hear more about how you got started in art. I watch everynight and then i go to my canvas and it gives me more confidence. Thank you for sharing !

[@lauraroman5207]

Forget the negative people, they're lame! Absolutely love to watch your videos! This piece is gorgeous!

[@abigailgutbrod9205]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! One of my favorites ever!!!!

[@lyndacuppage8902]

Love it. The colours are beautiful. Wish I had a wall to do it justice. Enjoy hearing the bits you share keeping your family safety in mind thanks for sharing.

[@tinagini3093]

Hi, yes most of us would love to know more about your journey. You’re an amazing teacher and artist and how you juggle it all would definitely be interesting. I love how your hair looks down.

[@doglover8596]

This is my first time on your channel and I think you're great! And yes, tell us about yourself. You can always put a little note to those who don't want to hear about you to fast forward to a certain spot. This way everyone is happy.

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

thanks so much and welcome to my channel ! :)

[@marymikeknerr8642]

Stay AWESOME! You do you and we love it ♥

[@miekewwood6909]

Wow ! lots of colors with the gold beautiful. I would love to hear about a day in your life . I have started pouring just a year ago at 70 years of age after doing photography for many years. Talk about a late starter LOL !! Just love it though , so please share your story and how painting fits in with your daily life and family. Look forward to your video. x

[@tamimorgan3689]

The gold on the ends is beautiful.

[@lisajacox6633]

You are Amazing😍 you inspire me more than you will ever know. THANK you so much for your time ,and sharing your world with all of us.. MUCH love and positive vibes to you🤗😁

[@masunshine2970]

You never cease to amaze me. Just stunning. Have a great day.

[@kharissahobbs3036]

I am obsessed with artist loft iridescent medium. I actually put it and all my colors! It's to pretty and addicting! 24k is also my obsession!

[@akjones9771]

Wow, that is gorgeous! congrats. I vote to know a bit more about you. It's always interesting to know about how you manage kids, dogs, 9-5 jobs and still make time to share techniques with us and keep in touch with other artists.

[@CarolynDenison]

Yea. I sure hope so. You made me smile today when I saw this. XX I hope so...

[@BootsOnTheGround1221]

This piece is so unbelievably beautiful - it literally gave me house bumps!

[@cindijennings2285]

Yeah would love to know how you manage your life. It sounds like sooo much to deal with. Love watching your videos. You’re one of my favorites! This painting turned out gorgeous!!

[@marlarose7879]

I Really love this - tkyu for sharing. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@allandavidson9176]

Love this painting Kanella. I have always found the black is a lot better without the flooding. The colours are so vibrant. Would like to know how you juggle pouring, working, family. You are a superwoman. A lot of artist get hate emails. Most of the time it is jealousy, because you do very beautiful work , you are good looking and enjoy everything you do with art, as well as coping with family, videos, work. You have a life that a lot of peop[e want , but they do not realize the hours of work that goes into these paintings, plus fitting everyday life in as well. Keep up the good work , most of us can't wait for your next video. Glenis

[@AlisaD1003]

I love love love how this turned out!!! Absolutely stunning. 😍

[@melissakeeney2492]

Hello. Only share what you are comfortable with. Enjoy hearing about you, your family and Juno. Thanks to watching you and hearing about your Juno, I understand my 3/4 chocolate lab, 1/4 husky mix. Had mixed labs before, but not husky. He may look lab, but has husky personality.

[@Kathy-Carr]

This is probably one of my favorites of yours! So gorgeous!!

[@kristinekapteyn8973]

Yes it is fantastic, will have to buy some 24 gold. And it would be fun to learn more about you, you are like a friend. Watching all your vids

[@soft2touch1]

This is amazing. The more of your work I see the more of it I love

[@judithburke1539]

I think that because the gold was the last color you put on and it was sitting on top of the other colors, it was the first color to move when the air from the hair dryer hit the paint and it rode on top of the other paints to the edge. Another stunning pour!!!!!🎊🎉😊

[@lilmissvee7836]

I would love to know more about you! Especially how you find the energy to keep going.... sounds like its full on at your place lol. I'd also love to see a more in depth room layout, how you have things laid out and why, what you use to store your bottles in etc. Ignore the haters gurl your amazing!! And I'm loving this painting too I can see why you love that gold 😍

[@Tetelestai.John19.30]

I'd also like to see her setup if she's okay with that and how she organizes everything.

[@pennykay6381]

Beautiful Kanella! The 24k gold is da bomb! Lovely colors! As far as sharing about yourself that’s totally your call. I would think with all you have on you’re plate, you would be stretched to the max. But, you post I most certainly would watch Wonder Woman, you do it all! 🥰🌹🎨

[@debbiethomas3687]

Wow, that's beautiful! Sometimes I have time to watch videos all the way through, but sometimes I have to skip through videos. I have eight to watch from people I've subscribed to, all of which are around 20 minutes long, with more being added all the time including your latest which I won't get to today as I have visitors this afternoon who will be here until tomorrow evening. There's no way I have time to watch them all the way through, so please don't be offended if I have to skip on just to fit them into my days. I'm dividing and repotting orchids and have taken 5 minutes out for coffee and to watch this but all the others will have to wait until late tomorrow evening or Tuesday.

[@tinabeegle8871]

Omgoodness this painting is fantabulous 💗I think a Q & A would be awesome 💗 anyone that don't wanna watch can just skip that video 💗

[@fionakirby9234]

OMG WOW WOW WOW, this piece is divinely gorgeous ♥️♥️♥️ it!

[@suzhaynes8232]

Gorgeous! I enjoy all your videos 😊 thanks for sharing your art, techniques and time with us

[@Tatersmom]

Kanella u are amazing & u are the one who made feel like I could try painting, Thank you so much for all of your wonderful paintings. don't worry about the haters they will always be jealous of someone who creates such beauty, would love to learn more about you thanks

[@ellenseiger8222]

Love the pour!! Pink is soo bright too! The cells are soo crazy!! ❤😊

[@louisestewart-brown8785]

Just a gorgeous result. Clever girl. I thoroughly enjoy your videos thank you for your amazing effort.

[@djbenz3461]

What an amazing result! Directly after you finished with the hairdryer I thought: oh dear, but then it starts to change and flow and grow! At the end of the video the colours were amazing, I'd say 100% successful! Can't wait to see how it looks when it's dry😍😁👍

[@geenalizzi]

Wow wow wow 😍😍😍 so gorgeous! And yes a video about yourself would be lovely to watch! 😘

[@barbarakondziella815]

I love love love your stuff. I have started taking after you and not flooding my dutch pours...the colors are amazing and I'm getting many more compliments on my pieces. I would love to here how you juggle everything you have going, I think you are amazing.

[@toneyedwards2913]

This is a beautiful piece. I really enjoy watching your videos and would love to learn more about you and your art background. I, personally, have to enjoy watching a video and know the artist is enjoying doing their art. Keep up the great videos and I am always pleased to learn you are being successful in selling your art. Be proud of yourself, you have a community of followers who support and care for you.

[@terribruck8600]

I love watching your videos! You always make me laugh. Your paintings are amazing ! Keep them coming I get excited when you post a new one.

[@kriannon]

It i absolutely gorgeous, I have since watching your channel given this art form a go at home, and I achieved results that as a beginner I was extremely happy with. Thank you for sharing your art.

[@LiloEmyoung]

Do whatever feels RIGHT for you, do not listen to those bullies. haters are going to hate. Thank you for sharing your time and art with us. In order to let your painting dry as it is, (as you left it) without the paint moving down the edges and dragging the paint from inside, wipe underneath the edges with a stick or palette knife. It is the falling paint that will drag paint from inside the painting and disrupting the end result. However, when you wipe the drips (after finishing and 15 minutes later) your painting will dry as you left it. Maybe you already know this, but it is my 2 cents to say thank you and give something back. Good luck, and Efkharistou Kanella ☺️

[@g8rmomof2]

Magnificent, you’re the blow out expert!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Wow, thanks!

[@rosemarydumont7318]

I love how excited you get about a painting😀👍!! I’m the same way😀!!

[@Tetelestai.John19.30]

It will definitely make or break your mood. 🤣😡

[@rosewheeler5997]

No wonder you never touched it. It's absolutely stunning.

[@dbroom51]

Love this piece! Gotta get that metallic gold! Would absolutely love to hear your life story Kanella!

[@ingecrause4734]

OMG !!!! What a STUNNER !!! I thought the colours ate up the gold but WOW ... this is so gorgeous Kanella !!! much luv

[@evarooney714]

Hi Kanella, this piece is GORGEOUS!! Love the 24K Gold! People can be very rude and nasty, be cautious, some people can be "crazy" too! I wouldn't mind knowing about your painting experience. However, your personal life, is up to you to share. I personally think you're awesome! Love, from New York!❤

[@ellenbarnett5199]

It's gorgeous. Love everything about it.

[@francest6662]

Re: your request for feedback about viewer’s request. I enjoy your videos. I like the format you naturally have developed. You easily share about yourself/family/life as you demonstrate your technique. I watch all your videos and feel I have learned a lot about those topics you mentioned which is lovely. Keep doing/sharing what you are doing. It’s natural and enjoyable.

[@fredbear72ify]

Wow! Absolutely stunningly beautiful.
