Behind the Scenes! - Mixing Day! - Tips and Tricks for Mixing Your Fluid Paints -- Acrylic Pouring

[@SunShineArtFun]

Don't have any clue how we could appreciate you anymore. Yes the behind-the-scenes things are really helpful. Thank you for being so helpful to the community at large. You are appreciated.

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

I appreciate that!

[@brendakeffer5852]

[@L.S-j8t]

Not at all. She didn’t show how she mix it. That’s what interesting

[@robinhughes6170]

I used to do pencil sketches of old buildings and love shading/realism. Then 10 years ago I developed an autoimmune disease that affected my muscles…no more art. BUT I came across one of your videos and binged watched your channel. Today I did art for the first time in 10 years! Thank you for teaching me through your channel, for showing me an art form I can do and for giving that joy back to me! ❤

[@dorisdowdy8798]

Molly, love how "real" you are in your videos! Your enthusiastic personality is contagious. Thank you for sharing behind the scenes!!

[@estellegoodnight6338]

Molly -- Thanks so much for all the wonderful tips on all the things that you do for prep, mixing, etc. They are really helpful and it's awesome that you share so much with us!!

[@sherrywestart5828]

Love it!! Showing the behind the scenes helps in showing the reality of being a painter. Mess and All!! Thank You Molly!!

[@caroletyson9103]

You are just wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing how you handle containers, lids, etc. And thank you for doing your best to protect the environment - anything we can do makes a difference.

[@jaleinegreen7411]

[@pattyo7009]

Molly, You are a JOY!!! God Bless You and Yours🥰

[@deemelvin2584]

Molly, my love of paint now compares to my love of fabric back when I was quilting. It just seems like you can never have too much!!!

[@gulfgal98]

I had to laugh because I used to sew all my clothing for work. I was a fabric junkie and even though I gave away and donated most of it, I still have a linen closet full of fabric and notions. It is so easy for this stuff to get away from us. 😂

[@rebeccabarnes3324]

Thank You Molly ! It is nice to see what you do for mixing,etc. I know it must be a lot of work. I have been watching you since not long after you started paint pouring. One of the things I remember being fascinated by was your flip cups. I remember the colors were greens you used when I began watching your channel after being off work for several months during the beginning of the Pandemic. It was when you were working with blues and you commented how you were concerned about getting the paint on the walls in your garage and what your husband might say. I’m glad to see how much support he has been to You over the years ! Thank you for always being there and taking your viewers along on your remarkable journey…. 🙏 You are loved and appreciated beyond words.

[@janawest7186]

Thank you! It’s been a minute since I did this, so I appreciate the refresher!!!!

[@Fire-tl7zf]

Ever since i was a child i wanted to be a artist but poor living conditions and abusive step dad that would say negative awful things during fights and his abusive lessons made me put it aside and only dream about it. I turned 50 last fall and said to myself f!$^ T,#@ and i started painting again after watching your videos. It makes my day to see you paint! I am now turning my back room into a studio. Lifes short and i want my dresm of a artist now. . Ur energy is sooo great and thank you !!!

[@FatimahLaVonBrathwaite2903]

I really appreciate you doing and sharing your craft. It help so much.

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

I'm so glad!

[@fortnitestreamers624]

Thank you for taking the time to show us your paints and techniques.

[@joeycasey2323]

Yes, behind the scenes videos are great for us. While a lot of us do what you do on a much smaller scale, it's good to see what to do to properly dispose of paint and how to clean things off. It's amazing to see that you do all it all so responsibly on such a large scale. A lot of new painters just don't know what to do with their tools and containers so as we don't clog up sinks and harm the environment with all the supplies. So thank you for doing this. I must say WOW though I've never seen so much mixed paint ever!! I paint on such a small scale that I mix as I go!! Kudos to you for putting in all the effort that you do! Another thing that always dicourages me is all the paper towels we go through. Well I heard one artist say she goes though the trash can and grabs old ones and uses them again once they have dried. So now I am going to use a separate bag for paper towels and do the same. Can't wait to see the Artigraw photos!!

[@Colorsforhue]

Absolutely!! We love seeing everything that goes into the world of art!! While I do paint and I appreciate the amount of work it takes to choose paint, mix it, get ready and then paint…..many people do not. Letting people see behind the scenes is nice ….quick view of the amount of work it takes to paint - not just the “quick” video posted and wow 😊 art is made! Please keep posting. You are awesome and a fantastic artist. Love your content and your work ❤

[@sarahhammond2517]

I love the glimpse into Molly's Madness 💚 Your energy is awesome and I would watch anything you put out there. Thanks for sharing!

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

You are so welcome

[@LouLou-2121]

Please don't stop doing these behind the scenes as they are very helpful and interesting to see who you go about your process. You are incredible and I absolutely love what you do and watching you ♡♡♡

[@gmitch8216]

I especially liked the info about the different brands. I plan to try pouring when the weather is warmer here. Thanks for always sharing.

[@jeanniedorsey6772]

I love & appreciate this type of content. Thank you.

[@SDDragonfly]

Loved this BTS video. It is Really important to share this to the public because there is a LOT of prep work & organization that takes place before you even get in front of the camera to even paint. Many people only see these beautiful creations happen in the length of the video & think, oh, that looks easy. Well, it isn't easy or fast. And you didn't even touch upon the creative process your brain goes through for new ideas & how to work them out. Or even the 'after' process, we just get to see the 'dried, finished result.' So, yes, your love of art is what draws us to you & your creativity brings us joy seeing the result, but it is still a business to navigate. Thank you for sharing. And with that BIG smile on your face & happy vibes of explaining, it comes full circle to see your business came from your LOVE of art, painting. And, we are still the lucky ones getting to see it happen. Anyway, that's how I feel about it. Many ancient ages ago, I went to college for art. I know how hard you work & remember the feelings seeing the results. I'll always be a fan Molly! Keep the videos coming.😊

[@RosanneCrump]

Molly, thank you for sharing. I learn so much from tips and techniques. ❤️❤️

Hi , yes I feel the same...I learn so much...From New Zealand..🌍🌟....

[@nancygoodling5864]

Very informative and helpful video! Thanks so much for sharing. 🎉

[@SamanthaDuncan-y5n]

Your tours are very helpful to us newbies. Until I saw your tour of your studio space, I pictured you in a dedicated studio. Seeing The bicycles made my day. You create a lot of beauty in your sacred space

[@karenmurray3432]

It really is nice to see how you/others set up for painting and have your/their studio’s set up. Thank you so much for sharing with us. ❤

[@judymcgrath1566]

Your awesome Molly! Thanks for sharing. 😊💖

[@gulfgal98]

Molly, I have been watching a lot a videos by various fluid artists and your videos have become my favorites. You are so real and it is easy to identify with you while you are painting. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I am starting to gather together basic supplies to begin on this journey. Thank you so very much for all your videos. You are truly an inspiring artist! I love your work!!!

[@jannymayoh3221]

Hi Molly I'm Janice a multi media artist from Australia. I just wanted you to know that I have always been into art but you was the first person I looked at on KZbin and it was you who inspired me to take my art to the next level of turning it into a business. I never would have found the inspiration to do this if not for you .thank you for your wonderful tutorials you really opened up my world of art and I'm sure there's thousands of people just like me who owe you a debt of gratitude for your time and effort .you are an inspiration and an amazing artist I just wanted you to know this ❤

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

Thank you so much for sharing, I'm so happy to be able to share and to see others succeed as well! Happy painting!

[@brookepigott]

LOVE the behind the scenes process Molly! Extremely helpful! Thank you!!!

[@gratefulcreations]

That was great Molly. Thanks for all the added tips and tricks

[@annatully6394]

Oh my collection of fluid paint materials grew so fast. Lol. Sales, promo codes, randomly trying different brands..It grows b4 you know it! I realized quickly that I could never jump in (with supplies) anywhere near where Molly, Olga, Rinske, etc. were operating, bc they did have 2-3+yr head start on me. Molly, as always, thank you for all the great advice reminding me that what I had was plenty, & the brands were also just fine for where I was at the time! Much love always! 💜

[@lostmypassword1]

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who has been mixing paint into the wee hours. Thank you for sharing your studio. Just did a small straight pour after watching your video from last week. It helped so much. Im ready to go big with a friend’s help so the tilting doesn’t get away from me. ❤Thanks for being you Molly 🎉

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

Thank you for letting me share. You guys mean a lot to me

[@robinray961]

Molly you are sweet heart. Thank you for showing us your art studio ( not your garage). I just finished your course and I’m getting ready to mix paints. Mix paint can be therapeutic. I loved your course so much to learn. Y’all got to take her courses they are so full of info. Thanks Molly❤️🌴

[@katw4377]

I can’t express how much I appreciate how much you do to pass along your knowledge. You are just yourself and it’s refreshing you share mixups also. Something as simple as touching the painting with your finger. Love how you show us how sometimes it’s possible to do a fix. You just rock!! I hope Arti-Gras went wonderfully.

[@beatakarkowska5534]

Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and talent. You are such a optimistic person 🙂

[@secondchanceabstract]

I do exactly the same thing. I was gifted storage unit shelves last year for my birthday from my sister because she knows the paint accumulation needed to be organized. Do you feel like when you become "obsessed" with a technique it seems like that's all I have been painting. Deconstructed blooms with different techniques sometimes swipes, balloon kisses seem to be most fun lately. Love your inspiration sweetie 🙏💖

[@deborahgwathmey3107]

I love you so much! And I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who doesn’t clean everything at the exact perfect time. My little studio has dried paint all over the floor and many other places where it shouldn’t be. Oh well! Paint pouring has been my therapy and has allowed many folks in my family and at work to live another day!! Hahahaha

[@Sunshine-n1n]

Love these type videos so much. It’s great to see the actual work that goes into this and not just the glamour! And girl!! When you look in that camera you are talking to us! I NEVER miss a video.

[@carlabass7413]

Molly, I really love this behind-the-scenes thing your ear more relaxed and you just talk like everybody’s right there with you. It was really nice and so much paint. I am not a hash. Should I say it enthusiastic paint mixer? I guess that’s the part I hate.

We appreciate the information you share. I can’t speak for everyone else, but as for me, whatever makes your life easier to make these videos. I’m OK with that. It’s the information that I’m after so as long as that’s the same then behind-the-scenes, rough, unedited videos are perfectly fine. I am really looking forward to your back to basics type videos as well.
