Autumn HATCH 🐣 Using an Egg Box to Paint Pour FUN Abstract Fluid Art Technique

[@davidwhittworth1841]

Wonderful. You were the first artist that I saw using pouring paint, this was a few months ago and you made it look so easy! Ha! My mistake to think that it was. You are a pro Mark and you give lost of inspiration to budding painters. As you say in nearly all of your films, “take your time, step back look at what you’ve done and think about what you’d like to do next”. Wonderful advice. I love the simple way you have created this and the colours are at one with our autumn. I wonder if you have any ideas for a Christmas painting (yes it’s only just 8 weeks away). Peace & Love from Cheshire

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

[@tynitahaines4012]

Its beautiful and fun. I love it. It reminds me when i was a kid grabbing an arm full of colorful leaves and throwing them up in air just to see where they would fall. Mostly on my head. But very nice and fun.❤❤❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you 🙏

[@karenmusa3052]

Oh wow Mark its stunning, its just so beautiful to look at. Something reminded me of going down to Brighton in the early mid 60s as a small child and watching the Rock makers stretching the candy into logs etc. Making the Humbug squares and the Rock sticks 😊😅 Just amazing pour Mark. ❤❤❤

That color pallet was quite nice. Reminded me of the lines in a lace agate stone. I'm new to pour painting, getting tips and recipes from all you KZbin fluid painters ; )

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Glad it was helpful! And enjoy watching artists on KZbin. 🤩

[@makeitadoll]

In the first place I watch your videos because I so like listening you speak and explaining details. You seem to be a very friendly man. I try the fire ring too in the next days. This one is beautiful, too 😊 greetings from Germany

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jeanniedorsey6772]

This reminds me of Mexico & all the vibrant colors they use. I love the way you stopped at that on end that had black. Maybe that's the bottom? 😂

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Whatever way you think it should be hung is the right way for you. That’s what I love about abstract 🤩

[@ManonPetitArt]

Ohhhh Those Autumn Colors are just so beautiful .I like that fact that there is some black lines in between the colors and it's almost as if the colors sank in the black and it gives it a ''smokey Look'' Nice job as usual Mark. Hugzzzz from Quebec to you my friend 🥰🥰

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much my friend xx

[@carolineg.5461]

Bonjour Sweet Mark 🥰. Ici c'est le soir presque la nuit. Tu ne peux pas savoir à quel point ce vidéo est venue juste à point pour moi se soir. 🙏 Les couleurs sont si vibrantes ensemble. 🥰 Le résultat de cette peinture est très beau. 👍J'ai beaucoup apprécié tes explications sur les couleurs semi-transparentes. My God, c'est la première fois que les explications sont si claires que j'ai eu enfin un éclair de génie dans ma tête. 🤯😅 Enfin une compréhension claire. Merciiiii à toi cher Mark. 💯💯💯 Je dirais que je préfère les lignes minces de la toile bleue. Mais le jeu de transparence de la toile d'aujourd'hui. Et les couleurs vibrantes. ❤🧡💛🤎💚 Je suis d'accord avec toi pour ce qui est de tes coins préférés sur cette toile. J'ai gardé une boite d'oeuf de 12 places pour une futur toile inspirée de toi. 🤗 Depuis la toile bleue où je voyais une route avec de la neige et une ligne au milieu de la route. 😉 Je me suis dit que je pourrais essayer cette technique. ❤ J'ai beaucoup apprécié de te voir le visage pendant certaines parties de ce vidéo et les interactions amusantes avec nous. Vraiment très spécial et agréable. 🤩 Je te souhaite une belle semaine 🥳 et je nous souhaites d'autres vidéos de ce genre. Que la vie soit remplie de joie pour toi. 💚🤎💛🧡❤️

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much Caroline for always letting me know what you think and how it inspires you. I look forward to seeing your egg box pour! And I really appreciate all your support and encouragement so thank you always 🤩🤩🤩

[@carolineg.5461]

@@MarkJRatcliffeArt When I do the painting with my eggbox, for sure I will share with you. 😃💚

[@alicepapizan7128]

I was thinking I did not care too much for the stripes at first but it turned out nice.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much. I always find it so much fun to see how a creation evolves

[@caobita]

What a bright stunning piece!!! I love everything about it. Those black "deep gaps" between the bright colours are gorgeous. I am impressed about all those thin lines and nothng getting muddy. Awsome job 🖒💖 PS: it would be interesting to run a marble through the lines before tilting the paint over the edges. Maybe it would end up looking a bit "overloaded", but it might be worth a try... 😉

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks Michaela - always a great idea to experiment for sure 🤩🤩🤩

[@KimLewis-mm9be]

Very unique and those lines were fantastic. I thought we would see some mud. Loved insight on opaque and semi transparent. I need to do a better job of thinking that thru...

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Glad you enjoyed it! And I’m pleased my little tips throughout my videos are useful 🤩

[@carlabeel8997]

😮 The lines and colors are perfect not to mention another master class! How about reds and purples?

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much Carla! 🤩

[@andreakovacs503]

Wow, it's glowing! 😊 Those glow in the dark paints came to my mind, when I saw this painting. Have you ever tried it? I've never tried it with pouring technic, I'm just wondering, if it works or not?🤔 I should try!😊

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much! I once did a puddle pour glow in the dark paints. Was great! 😊

[@marylinegodart4177]

Hello Mark, je trouve cette toile superbe, les coloris sont magnifiques, les mélanges, superbe effet. Quelle mesure pour la consistance ? Bref, magnifique, bravo ❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

It’s all in the description box Mary - I always share my ratios for consistency in there. (1:1:3 ratio) Thank you so much for your kind words- I very much appreciate them 🤩

[@marciahershkowitz4823]

So pretty, soft pillowy glowy. What do you line your table with? Do you protect the floor?

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you. I don’t I’m afraid, I just let the paint go on the floor

[@marciahershkowitz4823]

It’s almost akways dry here in Sedona Arizona, US, nothing like my hometown New York. I’m in a house share so I have to be very careful if I do fluid art here. I’d have to do it in my room.

[@kathyz8203]

Vibrant Autumnal palette❤. Would you recommend trying to find a yellow that is more opaque? or is there any such thing?

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

There are opaque yellows - I know Amsterdam does one and I’m sure others don’t, mainly listed as “primary yellow” or similar - it’s just about being mindful of the opaqueness of a color when doing a dark background within your palette

[@margecarter6101]

where do you put your name on the pictures. I love the way you paint

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you! I always sign the back

[@margecarter6101]

how long do you let it dry before you put on the varnish /and how do you put on the varish

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Dry and cure for 3/4 weeks and then I use a spray gloss varnish

[@tonismith824]

How long does something like this take to dry?

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

A few days “dry to touch”, a few weeks to fully cure.
