Of all the dirty pour videos I have watched - this is my favorite!!!!

[@elizabethcornelius6915]

Your painting of the rose is beautiful, you made it look so easy, however it was the detail you added that makes it look so real.!!

[@deeholman5176]

Caren, This turned out so well, it surprised me. I already knew you were a great artist but this just proved it even more. So happy that your pour turned out so well. Great video!

[@gloriapolite4417]

Caren , this was a great demo for making a rose. Love the way you added negative space and how you created parts of the flower. Great job! Thanks for sharing.🌺🌸

[@jenniferball7744]

really love the outcome of this! I've been watching your videos all night and can't wait to try this out.

[@marycaciamasser3814]

This has to be one of the most lovely pours I’ve ever seen! You are so talented!! I can’t wait to try this. Just gorgeous!🌹

[@caristead8627]

Caren, wow that is so awesome. love love love your videos. I'm going to try this, this weekend.

[@twrecks116]

that Came out really Nice!! So Neat,seeing the Painting come to Life!!

[@macsshack4623]

This is my favorite one! I didn't know I cld pour over dry! I am going to try this! Thank you so much for what you do!

[@rtsyfrtsy924]

I've been playing around and varying the intensity of my white. I'll pour the same amount of medium in three cups, and add differing amounts of white. The different intensities do different things. White is heavy, so it usually sinks to the bottom, but less white in the medium will stay on top. I'll use straight pouring medium as part of a dirty pour. The medium dries transparent and adds depth. The different whites and the transparent medium make people really look at a piece, and the longer they look the more they discover. Kinds makes them slow down a little and really live in the moment.

[@carengoodrich]

Great information and glad you are doing some tests! I have been playing with transparency, too. Hope to have more info later.

[@will5713]

I love the colors that you choose for the dirty pour

[@carolwiebe2820]

Amazing! A beautiful and creative result.

[@Broken6141]

[@carengoodrich]

Thank you, Mary!

[@jelketa]

It's the first time I watched you, and wow I love this painting, it's a lovely rose, it shows that you can have control of the pour in some ways, with the effect of movement, very nice.I decided to subscribe immediately, I want to see more of your work, thanks for sharing.

[@brandybobo2980]

Love this flower! Thank's for sharing.

[@racquel13]

It's amazing how that spiral transformed it into a flower!

[@carengoodrich]

yes quite often it's the little things that define it!

[@ipal5486]

You are a genius! I love negative space but I struggle with keeping it the way I like but now I can thanks to you Caren

[@glad2garden]

Really neat! Thank you for sharing your ideas!

[@audreybunce8361]

This is absolutely stunning! Amazing piece💜💗🌹

[@lynstef1513]

this is awesome! took a little more skill on your part than just pouring. Great job

[@grandmaNorqvist]

is new on your channel, glad to have found one that uses colors other than blue, green and brown shades

[@claudiaalexander5656]

I love this one! You are very creative,thanks!

[@sueb5443]

What a great idea, thanks Caren

[@aprilsmommy1]

That is amazing! So pretty! I so want to try pouring. Love your videos :)

[@EtherealOrbAbastractArt]

Can't wait to try this. Thank you!

[@monicaeggleton4510]

"Don't be a victim." That is a loaded statement, which I believe is at the heart of many hang ups with art. You as the artist(meaning me) need to explore, play and capture what interests you in all aspects of the painting: composition, form, color, size... I love that you are giving me a heads up with what you do to get your results, so I have the basic concept of supplies and mixing to begin my journey with a leg up. Money, cost of supplies are an issue for most artist. Finding new sources close to home that make quality supplies is a bonus. The more I play, the more I find value in the basics: toothpicks, craft/popsicle sticks, straws, bottle caps, and cardboard from used boxes. So I would add; experiment, explore, exercises creativity by trying a new way/s, and have fun. That makes being an artist, and doing art work, a freeing experience as well as an outlet for expressing and connecting with our emotion/s while letting our mind create something unique from our being/soul. Thank you for the experience of spending time in your studio.

[@debteikamata6986]

Wonderful! At times I thought gosh will that work...esp with the straight pink but it looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing your passion and talent. Deb NZ

[@carengoodrich]

Deb Teikamata thank you Deb...I ask myself every time---"will this work?" Lol

[@AbiNomac]

I love your creative Caren - subscribed

[@atomicwilderbeast1]

Fantastic Caren, thank you

[@shelleydavid3896]

Love love it Thankyou for great tips! I wld also like to see you do a sunflower 😄👍👏🏽

[@carengoodrich]

Shelley David here’s one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXqrfXSjjrd9iaM

[@natalieharris3338]

a friend asked me to do a sunflower. not sure where to even start. would love to see your take on an abstract sunflower.

[@racquel13]

I would too, actually.

[@carengoodrich]

good idea! Might do it!

[@eb4464]

I'd love to see a time-lapse of some of your paintings!

[@anwaar612]

Love love love ....❤ All a flowers painting are amazing.. I can't found a silicon and materials you have 😔 .. but this paints is a good idea to do it without use silicon .. Big thanks

[@carengoodrich]

I have a list of supplies (including silicone) in a pinned comment below each of my videos! I hope you'll try silicone, it fun!

[@anwaar612]

Caren Goodrich i found the silicon on amazon but i live in UAE and amazon dont deliver to UAE so are there any other websites that i can order from that delivers to UAE?

[@SilviaWood]

Lovely! I do fluid painting, but I haven't tried making anything realistic with that technique yet.

[@AhmedAbdulAzim1]

thank you for sharing your experience and please what kind of board you are using and this work can apply to wood

[@ivonepienta9199]

Simplesmente maravilhoso! Obrigada pela partilha! onde posso encontrar essas tintas em Portugal?

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Does it not creep and change shape as you are using a lot of PM? Couldn't see where it was going initially, but it turned out amazing. Would be interested to see it when it's completely dry.

[@patfory7499]

Absolutely love to see this one dry. Wasn't sure it was going to look like a flower but it does. Nice job. Can you post a photo of dry on FB Let It Flow?

[@carengoodrich]

Hi Pat, yes I can post a pic in LIF. It's also posted in my etsy store at caren.etsy.com (dry pics)

[@carengoodrich]

Oh btw I wasn't sure it was going to look like a flower, either!! LOL

[@designshipper6757]

Amazing Caren, I've already followed you and please I need a video where you describe acrylic paints and fluids also how long will a canvas take to fully dry? Thanks alot, Rehab

[@angelsandfaes]

A tip. If you take a piece of, say a 4inch by 4 inch, cardstock and fold it in half then pour a bit of the paint into the fold, you can then tip it a little and use it somewhat like pen to draw more defined lines. you control the width of the line by how much you tip.

[@carengoodrich]

angelsandfaes I love that idea. Never thought about that! Thank you and will try it next time!

[@dleigh4534]

Beautiful 🌺🌹

[@jeromeharms5820]

Beautiful

[@pushpachawla3874]

Can we do a portrait or a figure this way. Your art is amazing

[@gaylematthes]

love this

[@moraghdann2313]

Love it, Thank you

[@CarolAnnsArt]

Very nice indeed

[@suziewilkin]

Hi Caren, I have a new motto now for paint pouring..." Don't Be A Victim," very clever.

[@carengoodrich]

Suzie, when I watched the video before uploading it, I laughed out loud when I said that, too!

[@babbetto1]

I didn't think I would like it but I really do.

[@a.rehmankhan5931]

Hi...I like what u do Can u tell which paint do u use....

[@bernicefoster2122]

This is really pretty. You mentioned you could let it dry and then add more white to the negative space. Have you ever done that and gotten any cracks/crazing in the negative space?

[@carengoodrich]

Bernice Foster I have not done that but I see no reason why the additional white would crack or craze.

[@bernicefoster2122]

Me either, but I had one do that. I suspect it might be that I didn't get all the silicone off the lower layer, or maybe my ratios were off. I actually like the cracking but .. *lol* I'm weird.

[@debbijay]

Hello, I am new to pouring etc... this was so informative and inspirational... one question... what do you do with all the paint underneath that has dripped off the edges, do you do other art pieces with the paint down there on the drop sheet?

[@carengoodrich]

Debbi Jean yes, lots of uses, here's one idea for the drips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpicknigqNF6q8k

[@ajkaur7459]

I love it

[@shereebalaam5772]

Love it

[@leedeetz410]

Thank you for sharing

[@carmencabral8189]

increíble están divinas

[@renyli1]

SUPER! THANKS!

[@cyhomer]

What brand of PM do you use? I saw a video where an artist used the Novaplex 235 instead of Liquitex....I wanted to try it, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out their website!!! lol

[@carengoodrich]

I am lucky enough to buy my paint there in person. I use 233 but 235 is fine, too.

[@chelle7_myblueeyeddog]

Do you mix your own paint colors? Just starting out and thought I would just get primary, black and white and mix my own. Would you recommend it or is it better to just buy the colors you want?

[@carengoodrich]

Chelle 7 I do some mixing but not always. By all means mix your own colors if you want to! It's a great idea, you will come up with your own color preferences, but so many people don't have the patience!

[@hmax1591]

nice technique. Why can't you just wait for the "rose" to dry before adding the white and so on with the stem and leaves?

[@carengoodrich]

You can let it dry and I have done many paintings that way. But this demo was about having fun in the wet paint. Doing wet-on-wet is different, challenging, and gives you a chance to push the paint around more.

[@alemapretsof]

Very nice! Where's the thorns? LOL

[@StonewallArabians]

where do you sell your work

[@carengoodrich]

[@abby5857]

Lots of public interest. Fascinating effects.

[@bobwincek5156]

what is negative space? Thank you

[@carengoodrich]

Bob Wincek it is the space around the subject.

[@davidliernchiachio6998]

Se puede traducir a caste9

[@victoriabellanova2280]

Can we call the pours bright or Autumn or.... something besides dirty? I'm an artist and I wish this term for this lovely art form, was something more gentle. Just me, ladies!! Hey Rio!!

[@leedeetz410]

That,s better😸

[@yesikachima3765]

Lindo pero se desperdicia mucha pintura 😯😔

[@CAR-yo2wl]
