20 Different Acrylic Pouring Techniques and Variations - Abstract Fluid Art + Music

If you enjoyed this or any of my other videos and wish to show your support, feel free to buy me a coffee~ : www.buymeacoffee.com/lifeisku...
About the video:
My first hour long compilation video was over-all well received, so I decided to put together another longer video. It includes 20 paint pouring techniques and variations thereupon from pours done in 2019 and 2020. It alternates between newer pours (gray background) and older (black background) and the music pieces are all unique throughout.
**Timestamps for each technique and a list of the musical artists are listed below**
I hope you find some creative and/or color inspiration!
Be well and happy pouring~ :)

When watching pouring videos, I'll think, "No! Don't keep tilting the canvas! Stop there! It's perfect!" Sadly, most of the time, they keep tilting instead of stopping when it's just right. You don't do that, and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching this whole video because of it. Your instinct on when to stop is superb, in my opinion. Every one of these pieces is gorgeous! 💜💜💜

[@grimghoul1771]

My daughter(9y/o) and I watch you videos almost every night before bed. The process of painting and the music combined is so relaxing and perfect for clearing your mind before a good sleep. We are really looking forward to more as I think we've watched all of them and some of them multiple times.

The finished product is nice, but watching them being made is facinating and entertaining. Along with the classical music, of course.

Чудесные картины!Желаю творческих успехов!

[@philipdeanavery2052]

Your paintings are beautiful and brilliant at the same time, it's not like watching an artist paint. They're lie galaxy's being formed in space and we are the 1st to view their creation as they come to life. Every one I've seen I would want. Have you ever tried your painting style on fabric, then made clothing range. That would be amazing and one of a kind items as the pattern does not repeat twice. How cool 😎

Thank you! I've been watching acrylic flow paintings and it makes my heart sing. I want to do it and was exploring options. I live in senior disabled housing. I'm determined to find a way. It's my birthday my friend was here and then my much younger cousin surprised me. I left my phone for hours and when I came back I saw something new so I paused. It took me a few seconds to register that it was so I'll be spending some time with you. Blessings & Peace, Amethyst

Thank you so much for these fabulous video. You are the best of what I watched in you tube. Incredible talent, patience, precise and creative. I know people Gad comment that your precision to stop destroying the original image you don’t and I love that. I want to say you make the cells show up when you want to and not in every single piece, I really liked the clean look of the finish product without the cells. I was delighted with the music very soothing. You don’t rush things and very organized I loved it. I only have a question about negative space, I am new on this and I don’t no the technical words. Thank you so much for the beautiful work you do and most of all that you are sharing it with the whole world.
