Do You Really Need All That Floetrol? Why To Use Less Pouring Medium & Beginners Dutch Pour

[@tammyandersonart]

Hello my friends ❤Please excuse the 2 mistakes in this video. 1st a typo when speaking of ratios. It should have said 70/30% not 70/33% and secondly I stated I was going to mix the colors with a tablespoon of Floetrol. That is incorrect. All colors were mixed 1 teaspoon paint, 1/2 teaspoon Floetrol and water amount of water I stated for each color. I thank you for your support. You all are rock stars to me❤

[@pamagibson08]

Tammy I love your c teachings. I've been painting a few years but lately my hands from arthritis have just been hurting too bad. Do yoyou have any suggestions

[@pamagibson08]

This is my e-mail as I think if you have suggestions - pamagibson08 @gmail.com 💖

[@emilyflotilla931]

No, you're the rock star!

[@emilyflotilla931]

@@pamagibson08 I am currently using the generic version of Voltaren for my arthritis. Check with your doctor to see if it's a possible aid for you. It's a gel applied topically.

[@carenstevens693]

I love your instructions. They really help me learn more. I appreciate it.😊💗💗💗🤗

[@patriciawhitaker4426]

Yes I think she is a great teacher who really cares that we get learn how to do the technique correctly thank you Tammy for your kindness and knowledge I appreciate your worth and work

[@michelebraun3282]

Thank you so much Tammy for taking the time to share all of this helpful information. These teaching videos not only save us from much frustration, they save us time and money! You are such a great teacher. I appreciate you.

[@debbieknoeb1562]

Hey Tammy, Thanks again for another great teaching lesson, you are the rock star for sure. Just thought I would pass along the measurements for the Tablespoons etc. in ML. 1TBL = 15 ml, 1 TSP = 5 ml, 1/2 TSP = 2.5 ml, 1/4 TSP = 1.25 ML. I buy my mixing spoons from the dollar store they are Betty Crocker and they have the measurements on the spoons. Maybe this will help someone along the way. Happy Pouring Girlfriend :)

[@maevealaidarous565]

I learned more from your one video then the last 3 yrs following different people and I really appreciate your guidance…

[@kathydunn]

I Love the Lacing! I'm not sure why people hate it, okay, so maybe I'm just weird but I Love, Love, Love the lacing!

[@tammyandersonart]

Don't get me wrong I love it too but when it disrupts the design then it gets on my last nerve lol but yea if it happens in the right places then bring it on🤪🤣😘😘

[@jacquelinemanzano9328]

IMO, I feel that beginners, such as myself, have a consensus view and a misguided focus regarding lacing and cell production, due to so many how to videos. It can be frustrating. I am happy to have found your channel, as you explain the basics and the how to apply them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@dandansapainting]

Very beautiful pour painting

[@CoffeewithCarey]

I love your common sense and your detailed narration. Thank you for your channel.

[@masunshine2970]

Tammy you are always a wonderful teacher.

[@Mystique-Dreams]

He he, I read my previous message, and it was almost the same... The second one is magnificent! The colours are dramatic, and wonderful, and as composition goes, is S U P E R B !

[@jennywebdale5536]

You always explain things in a way I need to hear it. If ever an artist blows thru an explanation that need further info on I have a notebook labeled “just ask Tammy” I keep to jot it down and refer to later. So far, 100% of the time you not only have the answer I’m seeking, you have the answer I’m seeking with 25 other things I didn’t even know I needed to know! Seriously I just needed to say thank you bc you have been instrumental in my artistry. Thank you 🙏🏻 thank you!!

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Thank you for trying mixing another paint into the artist loft!! 👏👏 That answered a question I had! It is one hungry paint! You are such an awesome teacher!! 🌟🌟 Thank goodness you post to KZbin!! People world wide can benefit from your teaching!!🌍🌍 ❤❤

[@suzannecooper9481]

I love your art. so helpful since I am a beginner. I have been watching numerous videos and yours in one of the best. I haven't attempted yet, as I want to learn as much as I can before I begin. Thanks for a wonderful video.

[@christazimmer3277]

This is so funny, I have been trying to get cells so many times and I’m not getting any. Yours are so beautiful.

[@jog3055]

Hi Tammy, I think you are wonderful , I painted for many years, oils, then acrylics. I just recently found this way liquid painting, I just did my first Ocean wave today the hairdryer connector thing is two long not width, i ended up blowing it over with a metal straw. For sure you need a strong power hairdryer. Now I need a different end to make the wave look nicer. Your tutorials are brilliant, Thank you for your time. I am in Canada. Jordyn

[@highroad3580]

Thank you for great detailed information on these pour acrylic materials. Long time professional artist just discovering the potential of pour acrylics. Worked in oils and sculpted/resin casted, but my current studio won’t allow for gassy mediums. Will enjoy the challenge of something new. Can’t sit to get started. Oh, and from the beginning I believed in quality materials.

[@estherrobinson8473]

Tammy as I'm a newbie I found this video very helpful also have enjoyed viewing your basic's series have found them most helpful for me. It can be very confusing with the paint mixing. But you have made it easier to understand. Will continue to view your video's

[@monicasteenkamp1712]

Just discovering you. Your pours are breathtakingly beautiful. I will subscribe and learn. 😍🤩

[@agnesmaillochaud8901]

Magnifique, j'ai réalisé une galaxie hier avec du gesso fabriqué par moi et j'y ai mis des tous petits galets de plage et de minuscules grains de sable de plage .J'ai ensuite fait une coulée d'acrylique autour, j'attends que ça sèche pour voir si rien ne s'est décollé 😂 malheureusement pour l'instant je n'ai pas vos poudres. C'est vraiment superbe comme résultat !! J'adore et merci pour toutes vos explications.👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍

[@DariceDavisjprocks94]

Tammy: It's an absolute joy and uplift to my seriously dragging spirits to listen to you talk pouring and do canvases. Have lost several sets of support groups due to Pandemic. So, fighting despondency by learning fun and beautiful art is a win-win!! 💕 💕 💕 Re: Artist Loft white Acrylic issue -- It went bad 4 me in early 2021 or late 2020 -- not sure which. Never in 40 years of using art supplies have I ever had anything near this happen. The paint granulated up like Lucerne small curd cottage cheese. I thought it was high summer heat that might have caused evaporation. So, didn't think to return it. Poured distilled, cold water in it and shook it silly -- to no change. Then, I heard Kanella Curacao talk about her journey with Michael's to get them to look into this. That was months ago. Last week she reported her follow up with no progress. I figured at start of Pandemic stores tried to cover shortages by dumping whatever was in their warehouses. ??? Idk Back to this video: You created a mostI lovely purple here. Was it the " Flesh" in your pour combining with blues and greens? Does 24k Gold have red in it's mix that deepens the purple? Untinted Titanium had similar outcomes 4 me as "Flesh" (my red source was probably Raw Sienna or Burnt Sienna). Made knock my socks off wet sand color.

[@mariantwohig5156]

I love the lacing too!

Your second dutch p, its magnificent!

[@selinarobinson7014]

Thank you for taking your time to show us a few things that we’ve been wondering about. I’d heard many artists speaking about Artists Loft white excessive lacing, I was waiting to see if it was more than just a few. Instead I’ve learned it’s almost every bottle from 2020 and 2021. I love cells and lacing but sometimes I do not want either of those in my pours. Excellent description! I love your willingness to teach and learn at the same time.

[@perrilomax6328]

Oh, these pieces are so gorgeous!!! I need to keep watching so I can figure out all the lingo! Brand new to this form of medium and I want to learn as much as I can before even attempting it one day. 😁

Hi Tammy thank u sharing ! Have great weekend ! ❤️

[@carollevine2551]

I am so glad I stumbled on your post! I have been recently struggling and scraping all of my painting bc something wasnt right,..I bought a new bottle of artists loft in the liter bottle!! At least I can try a different white and see what happens!!

[@avileno50]

Wow this caned so beautiful….thanks for your teaching sir generously

[@hollydarby9978]

I too, love the lacing! But if it's not what you're looking for and they consistently show up, I can see why you get so frustrated and disappointed. We're all in this method of creativity to express what we feel and what we want to convey, so fortunately, there's a result for everyone! I'm impressed with yours! Thank you for the great instruction!

Hello Tammy, I have just recently gotten into paint pouring and have found your videos and am really enjoying them. What is that tube thing you are blowing through? Is it something you invented or did you buy it? I have never seen one before

Thank you Tammy! The explanations and formulas were so helpful! The colors are just exquisite!

[@nighteagle317]

Thank you for the wonderful information. It made sense to me. We'll see... Cheers, Paige C.

[@annapetryniec3645]

Thank you once again, you are so right. I have seen so many artists instruct the mixture they are using to mix paints, they use 50% GAC 800 & 50 % Floetrol, this is a very expensive mixture as a PM for paint. I like your frugal thinking.

Thank you again for “schooling“ us. Is your day job a teacher because you are a natural! I appreciate you!😊

[@tammyandersonart]

No but I wanted to be a teacher when I was young. It's all I did. I made up fake ditto sheets with math facts that I did myself as the student and corrected as the teacher with my red pen lol and I had a chalkboard as if I was teaching a class. Sadly I made some bad choices and somehow ended up in hairdressing school but now I get to live that dream❤

[@paulagoynes]

Tammy, I love that! I’m a retired teacher and principal so I’ve seen some good teaching and you rank up there with the best! You know it’s never too late. I started to college at 29 with 2 kids. About this time of year I miss school. Loved my students and my job. I give you an A+ on your teaching ability! Thanks 😊.

Floetrol in Canada 🇨🇦 is $44.00 For 1 gallon. Totals unreasonable. I bought from Amazon : bad result got a bad bottle. Unable to exchange for refund. Had nothing but bad luck . Learning the acrylic Fluid paint. I should stop while I'm ahead. Lol Tammy I even bought everything one would need for Blooms. Holy Hanna. Dyer wouldn't blow out paints in both procedures. I'm going to step back. As it's become to expensive for me maybe just water roflmho.. I absolutely love your educational Tutorials. God bless
