[@RaindropArtbyNikkiRainey]

Nate, omg!! This is so gorgeous!! That color combo is perfect and those clouds!!!! Just beautiful! The bubbles don't ruin this piece at all! And warping doesn't either! Resin that beauty! Can't wait for the next one!! Have a great weekend!! 🥰

[@debbiem6860]

I mean, this is the best cloud pour that I have seen 😮😮😮 absolutely gorgeous 🎉🎉 thank you for sharing 😊

I was born in Illinois, but moved to Hawaii at the young age of 5. At 60, I now reside in South Carolina and I miss the snow so much! This is absolutely beautiful!!!

[@NateBrightArt]

Thanks Donna!

[@christinerobison7368]

Almost? No this is heaven! Perfect pour, perfect music this was a very enjoyable video thank you! I believe the bubbles are from the bamboo, wood breaths so I think your right, 3 coats of gesso or even polycrylic will definitely seal your board!

[@sudhagupta4458]

Amazing blue shades 😍💙.Love that cloud pour very much and wet results were perfect with those amazing boulder cells 😍, 💙

[@KelliSmith-mj5hc]

That combo would make a beautiful wing pour. 😊

[@KelliSmith-mj5hc]

Prettiest cloud pour I have ever seen.

I don't have a problem with the bubbles. I thought they were pretty cool! I sure loved the colors - really nice.

Love it! I love blues

[@DebbiePagtalonia]

Nate, this is beautiful! I love the plume clouds and the stars in the darker blue! I am sorry about the bubbles and warping, but this is still beautiful!

[@brendataylor5928]

Very pretty. Love from freezing NB Canada!

[@lisePaquette-ue1to]

Very beautiful ❤️

[@jeanettewhite2144]

Pretty ❤❤

[@cynthiaswain4070]

Wonderful!

[@HollyFischerArt]

This is gorgeous, Nate! So pretty!

[@loricleary4473]

Beautiful cloud pour! Heartbreaking tho with the warping...i would definitely try kiln...great primer for wood💕

[@karl-friedrichjagau9974]

Many thanks for sharing your actual cloud pour result. Maybe the current outcome hasn’t met your expectations but I‘m absolutely sure it has been pushing your experience to higher level Nate.👍🏻⭐️🙂

[@NateBrightArt]

You are absolutely correct Friedo! I think I've got the technique down, and now I've learned what I need to do to be able to paint on these bamboo panels. Hopefully the next one dries better! : )

[@KelliSmith-mj5hc]

Laughing at us, Nate?😂 Meridian, Idaho. Our snow is MELTING!

[@NateBrightArt]

Hahaha! It’ll be back

[@karistelma650]

Very pretty Nate. Resin it anyway. You might be suprised. I had a painting I almost threw out but ended up putting resin on it and now its one of my favorites😊 the bubbles pretty much disapeared.

[@EpiphanyCreations]

This really turned out great Nate!! I love the colors. And there is something about the cloud effect that gets me everytime 🥰😁

[@KelliSmith-mj5hc]

These clouds are GORGEOUS! The mini clouds in the cyan are awesome

[@tamiannibali6401]

Thank you for info on your spinner!!

[@michellereid545]

Still turned put beautifully! I've learned w bamboo and pine that using an oil "primer" works great I stead of a water based one. I use killz.

[@teraperry1008]

Beautiful colors and your peacock feathers! I wonder if you varnished the rounds first? 😊✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@resinartists]

Gorgeous cloud pour,Nate,it looks very pretty in wet stage,but you can save it with a resin coat or liquid glass coat,they will surely make the color pop up 💙💙

[@bakermodernart]

Gorgeous! I find with any sort of wood that sealing, not just priming, the wood is really important. Gesso is a great primer but not a good sealer. You can use shellac or most acrylic based mediums, like GAC 100, will work. After sealing, then gesso before painting. It's also a really good idea to seal both sides, especially with the humidity you have there. This will help prevent future warping. If one side of the wood is open to elements and the other side sealed warping can still happen at a later time.

[@NateBrightArt]

Thanks Taneva! I'm going to PM you before I give this a try again. I've worked on wood before and never had this issue. I think you could tell from my voice I was a little heartbroken. Definitely don't want that to happen again! XOXO

[@bakermodernart]

@@NateBrightArt hit me up any time love! I learned the hard way too!! Adding this here though so that anyone reading will get a little more info. Anytime you have edge glued wood like bamboo or those common pine round you will have higher susceptibility to warping than a solid piece of wood. Also, the thinner of the wood, the more susceptible it is to warping. That's why birch panels are "cradled" to stop warping.

[@janerexroad2498]

I'm sorry that happened, it was beautiful!

[@JosiWeaver-re5wt]

So, Mr B I have taken your advice to heart and on Monday mixed some paint. Today tried being fearless (or more likely foolhardy) and braved unheated garage to do pour as temperature had risen slightly. No t-shirt for me but several warm layers. Now going to watch your pour.

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Josi! That's awesome! How did it go? I hope you had fun and learned something!

[@JosiWeaver-re5wt]

Didn’t really go to plan. I tried straight pour using six colours but the magenta killed everything else and the white base coat (which was left over satin emulsion with some Liquitex iridescent pouring medium mixed in) created a strange snowy effect on part of painting. Also think paint consistency was too thin and I poured off too much. I should have strained base paint as I spent ages picking out bits of gunk! One for a repour I think. Onwards and upwards. Report would read ‘could do better’.

[@anndwandner3664]

Fabulous. I feel like I’m falling into a hurricane

[@ckingartdesign2959]

😍

[@CraftyChickenMom]

Wow great work Nate! Soooo fluffy !!!! That’s crazy that it warped , it’s so thick you sounding think it would ! Wonder if you could kinds save it with resin ? 💕💕🐣

[@SherryinAB]

Iam sure you can save this dreamy cloud pour with resin ! ❤

[@djshotzy]

I had a bamboo cutting board that warped. But straightened it out with weight by putting books on it.

[@NateBrightArt]

Thanks! Someone else mentioned that too. I’m definitely going to try that - I want to save this if I can

[@thislittlepiggy3349]

So pretty! Hopefully some resin might calm down the warp!

[@arlenelouro3976]

I'm stuck at work. Going to watch you later😂

[@c.a.chambers68]

I love the wet result - the dry seemed blurry but not sure if that was my phone - beautiful technique ❤

[@NateBrightArt]

Thanks so much! The pearl pigments have a lovely glow in person, but on camera it's very reflective so it's hard to film. Someday soon I'll be able to upgrade my lighting so I can show these better. Thanks again!

[@tamiannibali6401]

Beautiful cloud pour even though the bamboo bubbled up the paint!! Can you tell me how you made your wooden spinner, if you dont mind. :)

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Tami! Thank you so much. I ordered my spinner from Jessica Winterstrom. Here's the link:winterstrom-art.com/thespinner

[@karl-friedrichjagau9974]

Hello Nate today I‘m not directly attending your premiere. Going to watch your video later!

[@danettepugh9272]

Nate - try some Kilz primer. Coupke of coats both sides and edges

[@NateBrightArt]

Thanks Danette! I'll see if I can find it here in CR

[@danettepugh9272]

@@NateBrightArt i forget you are in beautiful Costa Rica!!!

[@janicejolly3954]

The same think happened to me, you needed more gensso, the wood swallowes the paint up.

[@NateBrightArt]

Yes - lesson learned! But the good news is that once it cured, I put it on a flat surface and weighed it down with some heavy tiles and it flattened right back out. Whew!

[@nighteagle317]

Nate, the painting was amazing, the canvas was just not. Do it again on like a Covexo.

[@dianneszwedo6019]

Ignoring all technical problems...this painting can not, in my opinion, stand alone. It has many positive features but is yet to be completed. Give it companions for the wall.
