Just watched this for the second or third time. I was in the middle of putting on my top coat. My class medium had started to thicken and it wasn’t working well. I just watched this again,and saw that you added so well water. I went back to my painting. Poured a bit of water onto the canvas. Moved things around and was able to pour what was own there. Mixed some water into my gloss medium in the cup. Tilted and it went right over the edges? WOW! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. SAVED THE DAY AND THE AGGRAVATION!

[@kathykortegaard1396]

Thank you so much Julie for ALL of your videos. You've brought painting to my life! Me - creating paintings?! I SO appreciate you sharing your experience, trials and errors, knowledge! I also really enjoy seeing the wildlife (and indoor furry friends) you share with us. Such fun - ALL of it!

[@ritajanousek18]

Thank you, thank you , thank you! I’ve been going back & watching some of your past videos. I started pouring in March and have ruined more pretty paintings then I can count due to incorrect varnishing. I followed your instructions to the letter & I have FINALLY produced a finish painting w no cracking, brush streaks etc!! I’ve watched several outstanding artist and varnished according to what they do but your method is the only one that worked for me! Once again....thank you , you awesome Aussie! Rita , from Oklahoma

[@pennysartemporium1886]

Great video. Very informative. Thank you. The finished painting was wonderful.

To the thumb's down voters - what could you possibly NOT like in this excellent video?

[@fanfeck2844]

Ellie DePrima, don’t feed the trolls. Some people would down thumb a video of Jesus curing the sick

[@carlosallende2595]

This is strange, I am not seeing either thumbs up or down. I actually felt terrible for this artist as no one seemed to like or dislike her work, except for the comments section. So strange that the likes/dislikes aren't showing. This woman is as game as Ned Kelly, just bravely forges ahead in front of everyone. I am so glad I watched one of her posts, now I can't stop, it's a good thing she's prolific!

[@SLL-]

some dumbasses just love to be negative!

[@savvybrie]

I've been watching your videos Julie for nearly 2 years and I missed this one all together. I just learned why I have that interesting cracking on all my paintings. My view is always if just the right amount is good, more must be better. I've been totally over dosing my paintings with thick varnish. I'm just today learning about Liquitex's product name changes. I can not wait to start using a new and improved varnishing technique. You're the best !!

[@beverlyaten1775]

Thanks for reposting some of your earlier work! I have only been watching KZbin and pouring/ resin art this last year. You are one of my absolute faves and I have learned so much! And love your friendly cheerful manner.

[@deelorenzetti7766]

It’s super shiny and absolutely gorgeous! ✌️💜😊

[@suziefrederick8468]

I just love this painting and all the colors..beautiful shine ! You are one of my favorites that has inspired me to try this paint pouring...

[@golfergirl8123]

I'm so happy this video popped up. I was just looking at gloss medium the other day but didn't buy it because I didn't know it. Thank you for sharing this info.

[@soul336]

Beautiful work. I enjoy your work. I remove the bubble by spraying them with alcohol. Very fast and easy

[@beverlyfrederick7670]

Stunning! Thanks for this video. I feel much more confident to varnish all my pieces now. You are a great teacher!

[@jstansifer3690]

Thanks so much for your teaching. I’m new at this type of art, but my favorite art is abstract, so it’s great.

[@tamerakeeney1704]

Ty for showing us. It came out beautiful! I don’t remember this pour. The blue one is the first of yours I did n I love it. Maybe I’ll try the colorful one. Ty again. You’re a great teacher n easy to watch! Ty again

[@rebeccajohnson7463]

Thanks for recommending the gloss medium. The colors really popped on this painting. I've cut cardboard to use on the back of my larger canvases to keep the surface level limit pooling.

[@novallasuter8197]

I love the first painting!

[@lizreynolds4554]

Thanks for showing a way to finish. It turned out so lovely. You explain very well, so that makes it easy to understand. Huggles Always 👩‍🎨💖🎨🎶⭐🦓👍🇺🇸 Liz in California

[@sheilaandrade9958]

Thank YOU. The BEST. AWESOME. Just what I was looking for.

[@mandamorris7934]

Thanks for taking us through all the stages... Hugely cool to see results. Awesomeness!

[@cgsnyder]

Thank you for the instruction, Julie! I've never thought about pouring my varnish. So much easier and it looks way better tgan painting it on.

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

You're welcome

[@yallgonbesquatchingthefars4307]

I like that you are so great about teaching during your videos. I have learned so much from your videos.

[@hippydippy]

Wow! Incredible results. I just varnished my first painting tonight. If it comes out even half as nice that I'll be happy.

[@deannwilson3553]

That really brought out the vibrant colors. Beautiful.

[@RBrown-zl6wo]

Omg, what a transformation! Starting to realize why I hate my paintings🤯🤪😂👍🏼💕

[@jeanniepagano2481]

Thank you! I will never use resin again. This is so much easier and it’s still shiny!

[@madambutterfly4352]

Thank you Iv learnt something new today🙏🙏 beautiful Art♥️

[@jodiejordan4169]

I am learning so much from your videos. Thank you. I always think I would love to be there with you having a coffee and pouring 😊🖼❤️

[@oceanbluelady7760]

Omg! I love this so much! Thanks for showing us this how to!💕

[@debbiedodge6607]

I am so glad you did this video with varnish. I've been doing it all wrong. I end up leaving brush strokes in my varnish. I'm also going to get different different varnish.

[@caroltownsend2722]

good----, is really beautiful

[@anna-nn4ix]

wow.. this may be my new favorite

[@kittymeow1113]

So beautiful! Gorgeous work!

[@Panmure2424]

The finish is very shiny and the colors are very vibrant! Thank you!!

[@artandcreationsbyyvettecre2308]

Excellent I never knew to add water to mine. Thankyou so much. 🌻

[@joallawestervelt6918]

Wow gorgeous. Love that pour too

[@1godsmacker]

Thank you! my first pour turned out so pretty when it was wet and went kinda dull. Wasnt sure what to use or how-this is perfect! thanks again

[@eddiepalmer5740]

That painting looks amazing.

[@kathiereynolds2809]

I’m ready to varnish! Thank you for this !

[@janilledutton139]

It looks amazing, Julie! Well worth varnishing, I can see. Thank you for sharing. :D

[@beverlyhalvorson197]

Thank you so much. I'm just learning. There is so much to learn.

[@suebridges945]

Lovely to hear an Aussie voice using products available in Australia - Thanks - Sue

[@darrellpidgeon6440]

That is so helpful. I don't like brush strokes either. I would rather waste a little medium just to get a superior look. Thanks. P.S. That compressible support for the canvas was brilliant. Have to remember that.

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

You're very welcome

[@calissaobviouslycannotdeci7419]

It really made the colors bright! Nice job!!!

[@fishingforgolfballs]

Thank you so much for the fabulous video. You're awesom.

[@carrieeasley3995]

And beautiful, besides shiny! Beautiful work!

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

Thanks

[@HopeDesigns]

That's really cool. I did not know you could actually varnish with gloss medium alone.

[@vonastelken2165]

Thank you so much for sharing this!!

[@amberkaymodernart7093]

I will have to give this method a try! Thank you for the video!

[@katyruddiman9680]

That is beautiful! Would love to have watched you paint this.

[@suefalls1600]

Really made the colors pop!!!

[@susanlinnell5418]

Wipes! What a great idea.

[@debzlewis8270]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and talents. This is so helpful. By the way, the multicoloured one is one of my favourites of yours. Thank you

[@cindyfaukovic2514]

Thank you so much for this. I always wondered how I could do away with the brush strokes. Thanks to you now I know.

[@janetiholland2355]

Thanks for the lesson i needed it.

[@GayleReicheltArt]

Excellent video. I have done this myself just with Global Pouting Medium. It is a great alternative to using resin%

[@universalassistant1461]

Global pouring medium

[@cindydelamare895]

Pouring made a much nicer finish...Thank you!!!

[@jcb0818]

Thanks for sharing. This method will be a life saver.

[@dianetucker2711]

Looks great💕 I like this varnish much better than a resin❤️

[@davemeinhaldt1405]

Outstanding varnishing . ---Dave...

[@lorrainesmart9810]

That looks brilliant, thanks for sharing 🙏

[@ShanyaSree]

Wow amazing 👍

[@lindaweakley8455]

Loved the tutorial on varnishing. Thx

[@cunobelinusX31]

If you wash with plain vinegar it sets the silicone, you might try it. A tip I picked up as an automotive spray painter.

[@debtempleton9424]

Beautiful result. Thanks for teaching and making it all feel so easy. Cheers, DEB T

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

You're very welcome

[@laurariner8960]

Fabulous youtube. Thank you Julie. I love the colours in that picture. Can you tell me what colours you used please I would love to try one. Thanks

[@dawnsowa641]

The horse in the picture looks amazing

[@dawnsowa641]

The Fist red Valentine canvas.

[@artisticpoursandmorecraftw3277]

Thank you for the tutorial!. It was very helpful!

[@marilynbarker8255]

Great video!! I must admit, I always use a brush and it dries with no brush strokes....and no bubbles.

[@bobbiwest6625]

It looks great. I do notice a color shift from the beginning. But its beautiful.take care.

[@michellejeaneden2083]

I have been following your art video and I want to so badly to get your results. I think I use too much paint and I use the 8 by 12 canvas. They are only 1.00 at the dollar store. Many people do not have the extra money but the health and mental aspects are amazing. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

[@susanweidman4389]

Looks great! About how much varnish would you use for a 16X20 inch canvas gallery rapped canvas 1 1/2 deep? Thank you.

[@lindabrown4485]

Good job.👍

[@leonormartinez6378]

Beautiful

[@dianesinnett4391]

I see the beautiful shine! Would love to own!

[@jhord7647]

Thank you! I always hate paint brush strokes. This is the best solution!!! 🥰

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

It sure is

[@susannesteele5925]

Gorgeous. Nicer varnished.

[@mryjns]

Thank you for this video. Should I use Liquitex Pouring Medium or Liquitex High Gloss Varnish? I noticed your brand says “medium” and “varnish.”

[@DesignerGemma77]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@julierathe6661]

Thank you for sharing...I usually resin but looking for another way instead of resining every piece so Im going to give this a try. Can I ask if you have a tutorial of this canvad...I love it!

[@lindareeve4606]

Looks beautiful and shiny.. thankyou x

[@abidakhan]

What kind of varnish you use to look shiny. Please name that. I love your paintings. Stunning SPEECHLESS spectacular

[@Silver_Stitcher]

Absolutely beautiful

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

Thankyou

[@elainesnyder6307]

Thanks needed to know this,thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. .....

[@lagunamangano]

I love your paintings too! Beautiful! Where can I see a video on how you did them? Also, what size canvases are those? Your colors on all three paintings are out of this world! What a beautiful job you have done!

[@nezzysnicatees]

Beautiful thanks for the lesson. Very 👍🏽

[@carolsimmons9123]

Thanks for sharing this process.

[@crystal0ball]

Awesome video like:)

[@sallyjeremiah3467]

Tops tips, thanks Julie!

[@susanweidman4389]

Thank you so much. If a painting has a few areas with texture, can you still use this method of pour varnishing?

[@sanatiphone5145]

Nice work

[@charlenereavis1565]

Thank you so much. Resin has been too difficult and I have been looking for other alternatives. Then you do this Awesome Video explaining it all.💜

[@fvjunkie]

Using a new technique 1:1 ratio varnish/water. Use a clean sock over glove, dip into mix and apply to canvas. Three to 4 coats, works great.

[@louisathomas8637]

Would this be ok to put on placemats, as tried to find if heat resistant. Thank you for coming in to my Home Julie have learnt so much

[@glenmerylsorensen9061]

Thankyou soooo much that was a major helpful video.

[@donnabusic9785]

You answered alit of questions i had in this ibe!😁thank you! Looked great!

[@PouringYourHeartOut]

You're welcome

[@joeadams9040]

I'm not sure why you're using a medium to seal a painting. While it will put a shine on the piece it won't protect it as a straight varnish will. Varnish has hardliners in it that seal the surface, whereas the medium is porous. The trick with varnish is to use a soft artificial brush, gently apply in one direction, and then back again, and then leave it alone. The temptation to go back over missed spots is usually the cause of brush marks. Since you're applying 3-4 coats any missed spots will get covered on the next coat. I do use gloss mediums but mix them into paints to add pop to a flat color. When I first started painting, eons ago it seems, I did use the medium gloss varnish (after all it said varnish on the label) but the operative word was actually 'medium'. Had a bunch of painting getting dirty and found the dust was down in the pores of the medium top coat. Finally got them cleaned up and applied a straight varnish. From then on I was able to just wipe them with a soft damp cloth to clean. So I'm a straight varnish convert for sure.

[@elizabethcarter1175]

@joeadams. When using varnish, are you able to apply it using the pour technique in this video? Do you have a favorite brand?

[@wendycrocker608]

I love your tutorials, I’ve learnt so much.....thank you. Can you tell me why my paintings are cracking after I have put on liquitex gloss Medium and varnish? It’s not cracked before I use it. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
