So happy I finally found an Aussie artist showing all the Aussie products to buy. Thanks, you are appreciated.😁❤️. Hello from Penrith, NSW

Hi Used to live valley heights and emu plains 😆 Sunshine Coast so much nicer 😉

[@jillmcdonald1714]

Not just like, Love your tips and tricks! If I get back down to Queensland again, I will bring you some of my own recipes, you can eat mine though! I appreciate you for teaching me how to do all this stuff. You explain things very well so I hope o can make you proud of my own pours. I ordered a ton of stuff from your shop on Amazon and am so excited to get the paints and other things I need for this new hobby! Thanks much, Cheers

Thank you so much for this video on tips and tricks. I don't normally leave a comment but your no nonsense approach to explaining your tips and tricks was refreshing. We do some things the same but I definitely learnt some new stuff. I also live in Queensland and originate from England. I do struggle to find affordable paint and accessories, obviously these items are incredible cheap in America but here everything is so excy, so any cheap outlets you have come across and would like to share would be very much appreciated. I look forward to following your videos from now on. Many thanks... Rebecca

Aloha to you for taking the time for this tutoring to all of us with a lot less experience and multiple questions. I got several and this covered a bunch. I got one more- would you tell how many years/you've spent doing this. I would love to get just a little bit more confidence in myself and not give up. I got so many canvases I don't like and redo way to many times. Mahalo from the Big Island of Hawaii.

[@gillykubeart]

59kicki hello Hawaii 🥰🥰 I’m going to visit soon hopefully Hawaii Iv had interest in art all my life, only about two years ago started creating the acrylic flow art, even though I did have an art teacher in school years ago do a similar technique. It’s addicting and no please don’t give up because once you get your own stride going nothing will stop you improving 🥰🥰

Thank you Gilly for the videos you post. I have a basic question what type of plastic cups do you use.

[@gillykubeart]

Just take away recyclable plastic 😄

[@nicolebaker3974]

Hi Gilly, watching all of your videos for beginners again. Is the glue clear or white? Also, if you know, how long can paint sit before being used? I bought all of my supplies last year (I have a lot of paints) Then I got sick. I'm just starting to feel a bit better and really want to begin pour painting soon. Everything has been in the room I intend to use since September. I don't have heat going into that room due to certain items. It's cold and very tolerable. Should my paints, mediums, silicone, etc, be okay? Love your videos always. I catch up on days that I'm not stuck in bed. Love from Canada.

[@celesteverrone8266]

Hi Gilly! I have a question. Do you add silicone to all your paints including your SWIPE color? So many others don't add the silicone to their swipe color. You may have already addressed this but I've not heard it. I have only used colors without silicone for the swipe color and wondered if it works with the silicone in the swipe color? Thanks! I enjoy watching you! Love your cute accent! You make it fun!

I'd like to see the material he used...Just finished watching 2 of your videos & find both very informative ! Thanks again

[@Sussanah26]

What a great tutorial.⭐️⭐️ I'm been pouring for six months or so, must say it's a very expensive hobby but so addictive. Thanks for your paint suggestions and will try Byron paint and mod pog glue for the varnish protection.💖

[@jeffmega1197]

Susan it doesn’t have to be expensive. Some paint brands are expensive, sure, but there are less expensive options. Here in the US, I recently found acrylic craft paints on sale at Wal Mart for 50 cents each. Glue All is only a couple of dollars. I have found canvases for $1 each, so I can do a 3 color pour for about $3 to $4.

[@youjaymair]

I am lucky to have a laminator and when I laminate a pouch without any paper in between, they make great swipe sheets

[@rubyd9458]

Hi Gilly greetings from South Australia. It's nice to find an Aussie doing pouring and doing videos because I can relate to the products being shown An alternative to silicone I've tried is coconut cooking oil but only getting into this art recently I'm not sure if it compares well to silicone when you floetrol what is the ratios that you use? Cheers

[@gillykubeart]

Gavin Ditcham hi I’m not sure cooking oil is a good option but give it a go and see hey. If I use floetrol I just add to whatever paint brand I’m using just bit at a time until the consistency is like pouring cream. You will soon become addicted 😜

[@sandrapetrucelli8923]

Do you mix flow troll the same as you mix glue 70 to 30? Thank you can’t wait to get going.

[@vickijenkins1438]

Thanks Gilly. Informative as always.❤️❤️

[@stacysimpson8517]

I’m also just getting started. Thank you for your time to share your knowledge. I’m having problems with my paint now blowing. What do you use for your pillow and the white when pouring around the colors? I’m wondering it this is the problem why they won’t blow.

[@gillykubeart]

Thank you 😊 I usually use the same white mint marte paints with same pouring medium medium, just thin paints to get it to blow around for that technique 😊😊

[@blackdiamond494]

Hi Gilly would you do one with the floetrol pouring mix...thank you this was very helpful to me .....

[@cathyhaynes2700]

Thanks you answered some of my questions. I did my first pour today and my paints were completely too runny. Maybe I can get it right next time.

Does is matter if it is clear glue?

[@c8Lorraine1]

What do you call the thingy on top of the butane can so I can get on eBay too. Good tips push pins and blue tape. I’m an Aussie so I’m glad you gave a few alternative brands of paint. So refreshing to have a video by an Australian using products I’m able to buy . I’m 500km from the nearest art store so I rely on Bunnings and online Australian art store. Riot Art and Artshed and art to art, all do online orders and quick response time, instead of a month from USA

[@gillykubeart]

lorrane I use a great family run Australian art store www.caprioleshabbychic.com.au The above Australian suppliers have a great range of acrylic pouring products, air compressor, heat guns, Mont marte paints and glues,various sizes and colours, canvas etc Helmar silicone and helmar glues Just ask Diane or Anthony The butane attachment is called an auto ignition gun for butane torch, tape and jumbo push pins are from the same online store, if you can’t see something just ask them they are so helpful that’s why I use and love them 🤩🤩

As someone who has never tried this but wanting to learn, what does the silicone do? And do you have to use it?

[@michellevanderwalt977]

Thank you Gilly for the excellent description and show of the thickness required. What size cup was it you were using to mix into? I have watched you work for the last two days and cannot get enough of it. I love your work, much easier than anyone else I have watched.

[@gillykubeart]

Michelle van der Walt I’m happy to hear that, hopefully I help explain and can be understood easy. The cup in theses are just the small coffee cups. Thanks for watching 🥰🥰

[@DonTiberius35]

This has helped loads i use Elmers myself really struggling to form decent cells with my art lord know whats going wrong also i use wd40 for silicon

[@gillykubeart]

This recipe is over 3 years ago, I don’t use silicone much at all now, keep it simple pouring medium and globalcolours 😄

[@kathyian1]

Hi Gilly. Have you tried Golden Gloss Varnish? I swear by it. Mix roughly 60/40 with water and wipe on with a damp micro fibre cloth. It has a good gloss finish and has UV protection. It dries very quickly and you can resist after around 15 minutes x

[@gillykubeart]

Kathy Escott sounds great I’ll certainly give it a go. 🥰

[@kathyian1]

Reapply not resist! 🤣

[@stephanieward7487]

Thank you for the great tutorial!! Just wanted to let you know that Floetrol is not a pouring medium. It is a paint conditioner used to extend the paint so you don't use as much paint. A pouring medium is used to bind paint so that it will last for many years. Anyway great tutorial!! Thanks again!!!

[@jennyc1846]

You can use Floetrol as your pouring medium everyone does these days..maybe not when things started..gotta loosen up Steph and have fun..as Gilly says 'dont sweat the small stuff!'

[@sarasutton4079]

Does the glue and paint not turn into slime? I tried glue mixture with my pain and it blobs...

[@gillykubeart]

Sara Sutton not if you pre mix the pva glue with water making it your pouring medium, then as mentioned just slowly add to your acrylic paints until consistency of pouring cream 😊

[@dalaibaba]

do you prepare these paints a day before!?...I think you once told us so, and if you prepare it, how do you cover them over night!? greetings from Berlin

Hi Gilly from Bunbury West Aust. Thank you some much for such good information 💕

[@julierochforte7174]

I get so confused with all the different solutions I found an 'Elmer's washable clear Glue' which I used. Not sure if it's right or not. I thought pouring solution was all I needed, (along with the silicone of course). Then I saw that the Floetrol was called a paint conditioner, not a pouring solution, so do I need both? I'm a beginner and have had very little luck with my cells but I do know that my paint has been too thick so far.

[@MyJuliebean]

New to pouring and your amazing videos. Forgive me if this has been mentioned in a previous comment or a video I have yet to enjoy; is it necessary to prime the canvas, or are they good to go? Also, have you tried pouring on surfaces other than cavas? If so, what? And what was the result? Thanks again for your awesome videos!

[@gillykubeart]

Canvas I buy in Australia come ore treated with gesso, so no need to treat 🤗🤗

[@leechild4655]

i found if you pour on a bare canvas, once your masterpiece dries, you can see the texture of the original surface easily under your picture. Gesso is just used to flattening the surface you want to paint on. Also you can pour on glass, foamboard, nearly anything that could reasonably take acrylic paint.

[@tayryn2]

Thank you for this! My mother and I enjoy your videos quite a lot, and have recently given the pouring a shot. I do have a question: how do you avoid the paint cracking as it dries? Or could that simply be due to the age of the paint, or type of paint being used? We've managed some very lovely designs, but they've cracked as they've dried. :( Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@gillykubeart]

tayryn2 thanks fo watching 🥰 if paint cracks it can be a number of reasons, drying to quick if hot weather or fan on it, also if you’ve added to much water to paint or pm. Are you doing any of the above?

[@tayryn2]

I'm thinking too much pm. Thinking about what we've done, that makes sense. Thank you. I appreciate the reply, and will change up/correct our mixing; see is that works. :)
