Ok...this is the third video I have seen saying that glue-all is amazing for cells, BUT in every video all 3 artists used silicone drops in the paint as well. My problem with this is that everyone knows you will get cells with silicone 100% of the time. So, it only stands to reason that none of these videos prove that glue-all, or any type of glue, produces cells. I am an acrylic artist of 26 years who has been pouring off n on for several years...maybe 4 🤔 And I just haven't dedicated enough time into creating my own pour medium so I spend a lot of time watching different artists experiments. I think you're brilliant and I especially enjoy your test recipes, most recently your bloom technique without all of the extra ingredients. I just don't understand why so many artists are saying glue creates great cells when they are using silicone at the same time 🤔 I pray you have an incredibly blessed and beautiful day!
@LeftBrainedArtist3 жыл бұрын
There is no medium I have found that makes this type of very circular and large cells by itself. Floetrol will make small cells or misshapen cells when very thin. Glue gets used with silicone because it holds the shape better than any other medium when using silicone.

Not at all. I usually start with 70 grams and 30 grams. That means you ultimately have 100 grams (about 3 ounces) of medium which would normally mix with about 50 grams of paint (1 1/2 ounces) and that makes approximately 150 grams or 5 ounces of mixed paint plus whatever water you add. You add and subtract from there.

The 70 percent glue to 30 percent water ...is that used to mix in with the paint alone or I’ve also heard 1:1 ratio of paint and pouring medium. Also I would like to have the paint medium and paint pre mixed in large bottles. I feel very confused and I am grateful for any advice from anyone!! Oh and if someone knows how to mix and paint so I don’t have total mud! Every thing I have made looks ok until I start tilting the canvas and then it somehow turns to muddy and I have to start over. Thanks in advance to anyone that has advice or ideas for me!
@LeftBrainedArtist3 жыл бұрын
Low quality paint (craft paint) you do 1:1, medium quality paint (tube paint and student paint) is 1:2 or 1:3. Heavy body high quality paint is more like 1:3+. The mud is probably because your paint is too thin or you are putting colors that are complimentary right next to each other. I'd say the stuff is too thin though.

I appreciate all you do for us, thank you!! Here’s my issue. I do large flip cups. I let them cure for about 6 weeks. When I wash them off with either dishwashing soap or laundry soap ( I only use drops at a time) the paint gets very tacky and I can see bare canvas spots. Have you ever experienced this? Also do you have an alternative way to clean off the silicone? Thank you.
@LeftBrainedArtist3 жыл бұрын
Paint the canvas first and let it dry. Then pour over that. This will ensure you have colors where the silicone pushes the paint away. You could also dry using thin base coast (wet) and then doing the flip cups on that so you have a layer of paint that the new paint with silicone sites on top of. Cleaning silicone is tricky business. Especially with glue as it can unharden with water. I have started using face wipes or Windex but just a teeny tiny bit. You don't want your rag or the painting to get visibly wet. The tackiness shouldn't be a problem as you should always be putting a UV varnish/finish on to any work you are wanting to keep or sell.

I have a question about using glue as a pour medium. Someone posted about using glue as a pouring medium. She swears by it. BUT she mixes glycerin with it. Have you heard of this? Will it work with silicone oil? Does it help with cracking with the glue? Thank you.
@LeftBrainedArtist2 жыл бұрын
Glue works great with silicone. Glycerine is added to break the surface tension to help more cells form. It will not help if you are getting cracking. 90% of the cracking problems I have seen people have is because they thin their paint too much or they use low quality white paint which made of chalky powders and causes cracking.

where does the silicon oil get in? where do u get it? how important is it? my first ever project will be a 1x7ft service bar top.

If you are going to resin over that I would not put silicone in. I buy my silicone from Amazon. Spot-On treadmill (or pouring) silicone. I use it in my colors about one small drop per two ounces of mixes paint.

LeftBrainedArtist - thank you. And it’s a 7:3 glue:water ratio, correct? I am so new that my “real” supplies will be here tomorrow. I’ve been messing around with some old paints and stuff, but they are not good quality anymore. I have been like a kid on Christmas Eve all day. I think it’s why I woke up at 2am. But I have been getting things set up so when the supplies get here I can mix and go! I expect lots of ‘crazy woman’ laughs, huge messes and beautiful art! I might forget to make food if I’m not careful.
@LeftBrainedArtist4 жыл бұрын
yes 70% glue and 30% water is a great starting point. You can add a little more water if you want your paints thinner after mixing with the medium. Also, the crazy laughs, huge messes and beautiful art is what I live for. That's why this is such a fun and therapeutic art form.

@@LeftBrainedArtist I’m brand new to this amazing art but I’m confused about what’s the best ingredients to use. The 70 percent glue to 30 percent water ...is that used to mix in with the paint alone or I’ve also heard 1:1 ratio of paint and pouring medium. Also I would like to have the paint medium and paint pre mixed in large bottles. I feel very confused and I am grateful for any advice from anyone!! Oh and if someone knows how to mix and paint so I don’t have total mud! Every thing I have made looks ok until I start tilting the canvas and then it somehow turns to muddy and I have to start over. Thanks in advance to anyone that has advice or ideas for me!

@@LeftBrainedArtist it was the same consistency as yours, and I don't *think* I left too much paint on the canvas. One honestly never had that issue before. The weird thing is, I could tell as soon as I started pouring that it felt all wrong. And the paint just kind of melted on the canvas and kept spreading outward. And the cells were just all wrong.

Hi there! I use masters touch paint. That’s what my local store carries. It’s nice seeing others use it. What’s funny is I’ve not seen the pink/purple color or the peachy pink. Could be different from their actual colors. Rouge and pink is what you just said. Hmmm maybe I have seen them. Ok. Whatever. But honestly, what do you think about masters touch? I truly want your opinion. And I do believe you are the guy to give me an honest opinion!! Glue is soooooooooooo much easier to mix than floetrol isn’t it!?! Gosh!!!! Lake blue and ocean green are two colors I have as well :) there’s your “fun” fact for the day. Lol.
