Very nice....and helpful.....thanks

[@alliphil1]

I just discovered acrylic pouring 2 weeks ago and fell in love with the string pulling effect. Went out and got paint, medium and some canvas. This was incredibly helpful! Not only for how to string pull but I had no idea I could scrape the paint off and start over! I’ve been waiting until it dries and reusing the canvas by re-pouring.Thank you!!

[@traceycreating5500]

You are very welcome, so pleased that you learnt something new from one of my videos. I hope you are enjoying the paint pouring experience and trying new things 😊😊

[@cathleencavanaugh2113]

Yes yes yes! I cringed each time you removed your work but it kept getting more beautiful with each change. The background makes it outstanding. Thank you for the lesson.😊

[@traceycreating5500]

My pleasure, thanks so much for watching 😊

[@hummingnectarbird]

22 years ago, I was teaching my university art class acrylic string art as part of my Color Theory class. As far as I knew, no one else was doing it. I never saw it in the many art magazines or books I had at my disposal. It was just something I experimented with and found it not only made beautiful art, but the students get almost immediate satisfaction. Plus the supplies were inexpensive. Just acrylic or gouache paint, various thicknesses of yarn, a canvas or artist paper if one intended to mat, and weight. Today ( Oct 2018) I see the method is done by many on KZbin and online as "something new". Well relatively new. I should have done what my husband strongly advised. Patented the method.

[@lorriherrick4550]

Really? Art of all kinds should not be patented. There is NOTHING NEW under the sun. It has all been tried somewhere sometime, just tweaked a bit.

[@deborahpacker1153]

Patents are only good for an amount of time.

[@TheDebalbertson]

hummingnectarbird that would be akin to someone saying they should pate t how to paint a cloud don’t be silly

[@lynnhamps7183]

We were doing this technique in school art classes in the early seventies..nothing is unique or 'owned' by anyone..art is all about free expression and experimentation..to patent art is the most selfish and unrealistic act ever..

[@Samdark0]

When I was a child in the 60s, we did this technique with cardstock, tempra paint and cord. Different material, similar results. This technique is not new, it is rediscovered with better materials. Beautiful effects, but it isn't new. I guess my elementary school art teacher should have patented it in '64, but I think she learned it from someone, too.

[@rillalittle8737]

Amazing who would have thought paint and a string would make something so beautiful. Thank you.

[@rillalittle8737]

Oh I would love that

[@traceycreating5500]

Thank you Rilla, this giveaway has ended but be on the lookout... I will have more coming up 💐😊

[@lucyw3856]

I was painting along with you and mine is ok but your's much better. I would love to have it since this is the first time I've ever seen or tried to do it

[@barbaraperugini6450]

I just loved your way of demonstrating this technique in REAL time.... and for me, a novice... and how not to judge myself too harshly... THANK YOU so much!!!! love ya, Barbara... I will watch this again and again until I can get it as pretty as you did !!!!!

[@traceycreating5500]

Oh Barbara, thank you so much. I am pleased you feel this way, I love to feel the creative inspiration coming through your words 😍😘

[@billmiller5924]

I’m recovering from Shoulder Replacement Surgery & I just came across “String Pull Painting “ videos in the past couple of days - thank you sooooo much for explaining your technique -most people just play music throughout their video - it’s going be a long time until I will be back in my little woodworking shop but I plan on doing a form of string pull on my woodworking projects 😊

[@superstitionkat]

Perfect timing. I'm doing string pulls next and you've shown me how to practice without wasting paint. I hope I get a nice one like your first one. :)

[@traceycreating5500]

Great, enjoy :)

[@promilarobidas1935]

Nonsense youareveryslow

[@bigganana22]

You have demonstrated a much more creative "yarn/string pull" than I have ever seen. This was so inspiring that this will be my next project. If I can do this as beautifully as you it will grace the wall of my bathroom. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@traceycreating5500]

Beautiful, thank you so much :)

[@naseememan]

Thank you , you are very very genious , i loved watching your iDea and techniek, being carefull not to wast tooo much paint !

[@emmalaido6919]

Great video. I love string pulls but the video shows different ways to pull and what happens when it doesn't quite behave the way you think it will. AND it showed a clever way to make a complimentary background to the colors you are using. Never did like a plain white one.

[@traceycreating5500]

Emma, thank you. I really appreciate that and thanks so much for watching 😊

[@Philathai]

I am so amazed how talented people are. This is so neat.

[@barryradburn]

Great tutorial Tracey, not many people take the time to explain the process. Good tip on saving mixed paint too. The finished article looks outstanding.

[@shanasgee9724]

When I was 7-8 years of age I use to do this.my way of doing was little different. I use to take a roll of threads. Soak it in an ink take my school notebook place it in the middle of two whit pages close the notebook and pull out the thread and exact the same patron use to appeared. ....you remind me my childhood after 55 years.

[@traceycreating5500]

Oh that's awesome, thank you for sharing that with me 😁💞

[@angelamontoya7820]

So exciting! I love how you explain all the details about the technique. I've seen a lot of videos and actually love this one and the painting. I tried using a chain and see what you mean it started to pull away from the underneath paint. I will try it again using the string that you mentioned in this video.

[@robinbeck8854]

That is incredible. Wonderful tutorial. Thanks!!!

[@janehall2302]

I use a very light chain always check to make sure the base color is back on the board but every body has their favorite way of doing things. That is what makes things so good when you are playing with paint!

[@traceycreating5500]

Absolutely, just because I like something one way doesn't mean everyone should.... embrace it all, have fun :)

[@mariafestorazzi1007]

OMG you've inspired me to have a go ...... I've never done Acrylic pouring before ( I'm just a paper crafter ) but this tutorial is explained in such detail that I'm going to order my supplies to get started!! Thank you Tracey for sharing and taking the time and YES who wouldn't want your painting .... Absolutely Fabulous 👍

[@traceycreating5500]

I love that it has inspired you... thanks so much for watching 😊

[@nichesitra3100]

I am so in awe of the way your mind works and then to see the outcome of your minds eyes in the art form is amazing. I love your work . I have been doing art and puting clour to paper for as long as I can remember. I have had a block since the Death of my Oldest son almost 3 years ago . I have spent more hours then I can remember trying to pour out my feelings to the point of crying and walking the flour at all hours of the night and day. YOU AND YOUR ART HAS COME IN LIKE A TRUE FRIEND AND WATCHING YOUR BEAUTIFUL VIDEOS HAS SOMEHOW PLUCKED ME OUT OF THE DARKNESS AND BACK INTO THE WONDERFUL LAND OF THE RAINBOW!!!! I would love to put your ART upon my wall in my work area ...just to hold onto my life line with my eyes witch are the Windows to my very soul.

[@bonnieowens890]

God bless you. I am so sorry you have gone through what must be unspeakable grief. I am praying for you to feel love and peace.🌷

[@churchoffice9788]

Awesome job... I will be trying today with our church... We are having a youth fundraiser for camp.wish us luck Thank You for your videos

[@traceycreating5500]

Oh wow, how did it go? I hope there was lots of fun and funds raised in the process 😊

[@fromdebsstudio2022]

Didn't know you could use yarn for pulling. I recently bought some length of small chain to do some pulls just haven't experimented yet. This video helped to explain a lot. Thanks for posting. And the little tip for saving paint run off was helpful too.

[@traceycreating5500]

Oh, once I introduced the String Dip technique to acrylic pouring, many talented artists put their own twist on it. One being using chain instead. I feel proud to have shared and inspired so many with this. Thank you so much for watching 😊

[@carolinewaterstone2624]

V v useful, thank you. Final painting is lovely! 😃

[@kimberlyobrien132]

You take the apprehension out of trying something new! I enjoy listening, just as much, as I do watching. Makes me feel like it would be super neat to spend an afternoon painting with you. Blessings.

[@traceycreating5500]

Aww, thank you Kimberly, I love that. I do enjoy it so 💞 wishing you happy, relaxing, experimental, fun painting times ahead 😁

Thank you Kajal and thanks so much for watching 😊

[@laurenfisher5409]

so pretty! I LOVE how thr white changes the blue!

[@arlenehall4301]

Would love that. Just watching ....think I will try doing this

[@rosejohnson452]

I did this with 3 yr olds to make the flowers between sheets of paper. It was a fun Project. I suggest you make a slip knot loop at the end of the string. Let it drape over the end of the paper or frame. It Works well, no slipped strings. Try it. I like your work n technique. Thanks.

[@traceycreating5500]

Thank you for sharing Rose and thanks so much for watching 😊

[@melodycarlson4779]

Thank you for explaining this technique. I have wanted to try this myself!

I not only love your painting , I am crazy about it . I have so many ideas running through my head after seeing your video I can’t wait to try this. If I am lucky enough to win this I believe I will stare at it for hours and dream of all the possibilities that can be done. Thank you , Truly inspiring ❤️

[@roztarose9648]

It would've been awesome to do the background pull in green for leaves and then add the blue flowers

[@andreapulling6389]

I learned so much from this video. I would love this painting. You have so much talent and are so good at sharing the "how to" for String Dip. Please know that I am a fan!

[@traceycreating5500]

Andrea, thank you. It's my pleasure, when I first brought the String Dip to acrylic pouring I had no expectation of what it would become. So many are now using my technique and creating beautiful art. I aim to inspire and share so it warms my heart to know that there was something you learned from this video, I'm so pleased. Thank you 💗

[@joannesarlo518]

Thank you for this video Tracey. Very thorough in your presentation on how to do a string pull!

[@traceycreating5500]

My pleasure and thank you for watching 😊

[@olivewoo522]

I never thought off looking at the bottom while pulling. I would only look at the top for pure satisfaction.

[@traceycreating5500]

Oh yes, It is very satifying to watch what the top is doing as you pull the string. Thanks so much for watching 😁

[@holly-anne680]

Great demo...….I learned some super pointers.....Thank you......you have come a long ways since I first saw your first vids.....Thank you , Tracey!

Really happy to see this video pop up again. This is one of the very first KZbin videos that I watched last June, 2019, and because of your video, my second ever acrylic pour painting was three blue flowers on a white background. It came looking great and is one of my most favourite paintings. I would love to attach it to show you but I can't do that here. Anyway, thanks SO much for helping me get started on my liquid acrylic pour journey which I am absolutely loving. 💖💖 💕💕💕
