[@MyriamsNature]

What a great way to add elements that are hard/impossible to achieve using traditional fluid painting techniques. Thank you for opening this door to lots of new possibilities! The wheels are turning and turning....

[@carolchristoffel1075]

I really enjoy your humble methodical way of painting. I also enjoy that you are not afraid to recommend and recognize other artists and their videos. It is a cross-pollination of ideas. Good work and yes Cheadle is a great one to look at.

[@carengoodrich]

carol christoffel thank you Carol!!

[@JR-ik9fn]

your art work speaks to me on a cellular level. Truly, one of the best youtube channels!!! please never lose your passion- the art community needs more people like you.

[@carengoodrich]

thank you, I really appreciate your kind words, it means a lot to me.

[@FlaKNMB]

Love these three works of art, especially the one you embellished. You're not the only one who likes the Konker paint markers, Caren. They have 21 reviews with a perfect 5-star rating on Amazon! I added them to my ever-growing wish list.

[@bronchial1]

Thankyou so much for showing us yet another way to have fun with acrylic paints Caren! Your enthusiasm is contagious for sure! I like dabbling in aboriginal dot painting so this will be great fun indeed! Yes Rick Cheadle's piece is beautiful!! I think our cavemen/women ancestors would have liked this !!

[@carengoodrich]

I love petroglyphs and cave art. A lot of my non-pour paintings of the last ten years has been inspired by cave paintings.

[@bronchial1]

I thought there was a touch of primitive shape and symbolism in some of them Caren! Hopi? Love it! Your buffalo especially are awesome!

[@InterpretaMente]

Oh! Finally!!! I found this video by chance but you don't know how long I've been looking for the solution to make precise "tweaks" on the painting. With the brushes I've ruined many pouring. I didn't know that there were acrylic markers. Thank you!!! As always, you're an inexhaustible source of precious advice!

[@heatherdowns4754]

Such a great idea Caren!! So many possibilities!

[@jeanniewinters847]

Carmen, thanks for the demo with the Konger acrylic paint markers. I had no idea they even existed! Totally awesome what can be done. I have watched a lot of Rick Cheadle. His works are always great. He doesn't always embellish but sometimes he just goes all out. They turn into a sort of psychodelic look. He is one of my favs. Sort of a quirky guy...in an awesome way. 😎😎😎

[@carengoodrich]

Jeannie Winters yes Rick does his thing in a great way!

[@AvidAbstractions]

Thank you for sharing about these! They look like so much fun! Beautiful work!

[@Rachelscats]

This looks like fun! They are really beautiful pieces!

[@karinlease6355]

You are awesome! Your vids are the best! Always enjoy.

[@janana6786]

I really like the idea of using paper for experimental pours.

[@RozWilloughby]

those Markers look great and yes Rick is very inspirational as you are too...tfs☺

[@nicoseymus2186]

thank you sooo much for sharing this. You do this in an natural way, very educational. Love your videos. keep it up, you are inspirational.

[@carengoodrich]

thank you Nico!

[@johnpowell6397]

I have liquitex acrylic markers and copics already. they do a great job.

[@monicaeggleton4510]

You forgot to add the link to Minwax. I just saw Rick's video this morning. He does great work in general, but the finishing touches are fantastic. He can make each attempt with a pour, a great end product....perhaps we all can. This was the first time I had seen him work and was very impressed. You did a great presentation; demonstrating just how each of us can repair, enhance, and embellish our work. I think the markers are a great idea, but for anyone that does not want to make this investment at this time, you can get out a detailing paint brush with your paint to accomplish the same results. Thank you for sharing new ideas and new products that we may want to explore. Great job!

[@carengoodrich]

Monica Eggleton thanks Monica I knew I forgot something. Yes the main thing with this video is to demonstrate the techniques, whether you use pens or brushes. I can't wait to do more.

[@jennyc1846]

That's a great idea Caren. I also use UNI POSCA acrylic pens you can get them in varying thickness's I love the thin one (PC-1MR). Great for signing your work with. Thanks for the slow drying idea, but am still getting crazing and wonder do you use a pouring medium in your titanium white or other base colours or is it straight paint? Thanks for your lovely works have a great day

[@carengoodrich]

Jenny C I use pouring medium in all colors, it makes all the difference. I now have my own line of Paint Ready To Pour called Happy Medium. It has everything in it to do successful pours without mixing and measuring. Just pour. It’s only at www.happymedium.fun

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Its a great idea. Wish I thought of it sooner. Thanks for sharing 🎨

[@caphilliips]

I saw someone take the fabric off of a canvas and make a book cover out of it. Thanks for sharing.

[@carengoodrich]

Excellent idea!

[@maddiec5341]

Caren Goodrich

[@bernicefoster2122]

I'm going to have to get those markers. I've used a few others and they dried out quickly or the ends mashed and I couldn't replace so let's give these a go. This would be fun to do in a workshop - let people's imaginations go wild.

[@carengoodrich]

Bernice Foster yes it would be a fun workshop!

[@eleanorvasil4926]

Have you seen Rick Cheadle using his paint pens? I love that you can doodle on your paintings. Can't wait to try it.

[@carengoodrich]

Eleanor Vasil yes! I mention Rick and his paint pen video towards the end of my video and also link to his video in my description!

[@agnesashford2074]

great idea, thanks for sharing.

[@JacquelineHahn1]

I had been experimenting in my head with such things.

[@ot9228]

Wow thank you so much for sharing!

[@jennyc1846]

Another idea which might help others is I sprayed some adhesive spray over some of my 'crazings' and sprinkled with glitters then sealed it, its an awesome way to make something mediocre look stunning...of course you don't need that with your works of art, some of us need help ha ha have a lovely day.

[@carengoodrich]

Jenny C yes there are so many things you can do! No rules!

[@Nennine001]

I'm new at this type of art. What do you consider dirty pour?

[@NorCalArtist]

I've just completed my first two "pour" paintings and I'm really happy with the outcome. My next question is - how long do these paintings take to dry or "cure"? Mine seem to be taking several days. I did a 50/50 combo of paint and flotrol along with a few drops of silicon. Thanks

[@carengoodrich]

Tim Woodson don't hurry the drying, let it sit for several days. Takes 1-3 days depending on climate and how thick your pour is.

[@sushanart]

Interesting! Did you find it easier to do this with the pens than doing the samt thing with brushes?

[@carengoodrich]

Susan Art I like the portability and better control of the pens but obviously brushes are an option.

[@Snake-snek]

Awesome ! Your art is so nice to look at and good tips too ! Thank you , can´t wait to try! Do you know anything that would make me get away with cheaper paint or any kind of paint that would be dilutable in more water so you don´t have to use to much.. or idk , I´m having a hard time getting my hands on enough paint to spill it all over .XD

[@carengoodrich]

Snake 27 you can use Apple Barrel or other craft paint.

[@paulahardesty4449]

Caren I adore your art. Do you wash your paintings to get the silicone off?

[@lizlessner829]

Caren Goodrich Hi Caren, I loved your video! I have been thinking about adding or modifying a Pour after it is dried but before varnishing. Can you modify after varnishing as well? I love the idea about the Konker paint markers that you recommended but they are not available anywhere. Do you have another set of paint markers? I really enjoy watching you and your work is beautiful!

[@teresasartglass]

I have oil based pens. Following a general rule I learned that you can go over acrylic paint with oil paint, does the same rule apply with using oil based pens on these acrylic pours? thanks again for a great video. Teresa

[@carengoodrich]

teresasartglass yes I think you’ll be ok with oil based pens!

[@maggiehunkele7522]

Have you ever used or heard of Krink acrylic markers? They sell them online at Michaels website

[@carengoodrich]

Maggie Hunkele yes I used them a few years ago and didn't like them. The paint came out in blobs when I least expected it.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Caren, if the box doesn't already say it, store those markers horizontally, otherwise the tip dries out and the paint kind of gums up, inside the marker.

[@carengoodrich]

DrummerGrrrl yes! Thank you!

[@SevinaPegue]

My white paint cracks. Why is that and is there a way to repair the cracks.

[@shelleychen9392]

Can the embellishment work on normal acrylic painting not pouring painting?

[@carengoodrich]

Yes!

[@colehowell5938]

I've made 5 or 6 pours and almost all of them cracked during the drying process... how do you slow this or stop it? It's very irritating when you've made a great pour but now there are cracks going through it! Any help with this is appreciated!

[@carengoodrich]

Cole Howell maybe this video will help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp3amqGFqq-Mo5o

[@shielaakin7985]

Have you sealed the canvas before using the paint pens?

[@carengoodrich]

Shiela Akin no I did not, but you could.

[@dixieheller9292]

Can these markers be used over silicone?

[@carengoodrich]

Dixie Heller I clean off my paintings first so there is little or no silicone. That is the best thing to do.

[@jehuckphoto]

Hi Caren. I don't see the link to the Konker markers. Are they on your amazon shopping list?

[@carengoodrich]

Judy Huck hi Judy, the Konker markers don’t seem to be available any more, so I now have a different brand on my amazon shopping list that I like very much! Thanks for asking!

[@carengoodrich]

Konker Colors thanks for the update! Glad you are back in stock!

[@paprluvr]

Seems like a great idea but there's no way to purchase the markers. They're not sold anywhere.

[@carengoodrich]

There is an Amazon link to the markers in the description below the video, but after reading your comment, I see that currently the markers are out of stock. My video generated quite a few sales, so hopefully they will be back in stock soon.

[@littlefarmerette123]

Guess what? Even the Konkers website is out of stock!!! You definitely have a WIDE audience. Maybe they should offer you an endorsement package....

[@diouanesafia9554]

nice

[@beckyhedges4481]

why not use brushes and your exactly matching paint?

[@carengoodrich]

You can do that. I just like the ease. accuracy, and portability of pens. I don't like brushes much.
