Dual canvas set with swipe technique

[@kallieomally6206]

I was so inspired by this I tried it using different colors. Thanks for the tip of light and dark colors. Do you have an insta? I would love to show you mine. It turned out great. I was so nervous about the swipes lol.

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Kallie, I am so happy that you tried it. The whole purpose is to inspire others and get inspired by their work as well. I would like to see your painting. My instagram is instagram.com/symphonyofcolors1/

So pretty! Thanks for sharing the process.

[@TheAllBalmLady]

This is beautiful! I’ve always been interested in epoxy and even thought about doing my counter in epoxy. Thanks for sharing.❤

[@acidceed]

absolutely beautiful!!!! reminds me of a monarch butterfly. you really managed to make some amazing cells there.

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thank you acidceed. Now that you mention it there are some portions resembling patterns of monarch butterfly wings. I should have named it Monrach butterfly pattern:)

[@boogiebean6036]

The rolling in the video makes it look like it's breathing! Love this whole video, so serene and calming to watch. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Little Lulu😀🙏

[@combustingllamas96]

I'm so in love with the colour scheme! It's very reminiscent of fall and brings me back to pumpkin picking. Perhaps seasonal themed paintings could be a future venue to explore? This is absolutely stunning though. Love love love it

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thank you TikaT for complements. You have given me wonderful idea about seasonal themed paintings, and you will certainly see those on my channel.

[@Flairatic1146]

Very interesting method of pouring. I love the play of the orange and black and beautiful cells have developed. Really well done doing two canvases together. I have been using a similar burgundy/red and I'm not sure about it colour wise, I'm always disappointed with that section of my pours. Think I might try your technique and sub the red for blues maybe or a deep purple. It's probably a personal thing I always dismiss clothing in that colour when I'm shopping, Lol! Selecting the colours for pours is half the fun and you have found some great combo's here, keep up the good work. 😁👏

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thank you Ik Melv. I would love to see your results when you try new combination:)

[@haircare6922]

[@lindaward3092]

Fascinating! Lovely cells.

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thank you Linda Ward, swiping allows layering of colors and you get multi-color cells. I always get fascinated by the end results of swipe paintings.

Thank you, Brandon. These came out very pretty. I have one shot at the end of both of these hanging on the wall. Please check that out it is there just for three seconds so you might have missed it. After varnish, these will become very bright.

Beautiful. Would you mind telling which brand of torch you use? I'm looking for a good one. Thank you.

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Shireen Dubey, I use Black and Decker Dual Temperature Heat Gun. It is electricity operated and gives very good heat. I stitch it on, wait the coil inside to heat properly for 20-30 seconds, and then use it. You are welcome to ask me anything related to this process, I wont hesitate in answering:)

[@anilgrover1955]

Great!! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sarah:)

[@Laura-gt4pu]

Gorgeous! I love your results and technique. I would have a hard time with 1 large painting but you made it look easy to do 2 at once. Can I ask what tool you used to swipe the paint?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thanks Laura. This tool is a plastic putty knife, and it is easily available in hardware stores.

[@caroljohnson-rm1tj]

Fantastic. I m glad I stayed with it. When I try this I hope it works. Wheres your instructions.

[@SewLambitious]

There is additional information in the Video Description and also in the comments. A response to another comment was given to view this video for the final paint mix: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGqpZKaco9aAfqM

[@josianecoffinet2656]

merci pour vos vidéos, très explicites et bien traduites en français... et je vous remercie aussi, pour les réponses données, alors que d'autres artistes, ne répondent qu'avec un coeur, et ne donnent pas d'explications, merci encore pour toutes vos réponses, qui m'apprennent beaucoup, j'attends avec impatience la nouvelle vidéo...

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Je vous remercie de tout cœur d'avoir apprécié mon travail. J'ai d'autres vidéos sur ma chaîne qui pourraient vous intéresser. C'est l'amour et l'appréciation de votre part qui me permettent de créer de nouvelles techniques et de tester de nouvelles combinaisons. L'art est pour tous et nous, artistes, devrions le partager volontiers.

[@dianaeichles5982]

gorgeous! Any silicone in the mix?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thank you diana eichles, yes there was five to six drops of silicon in each cup.

[@jeffreydeangray]

Beautiful! Question: What was the drying time on these?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thank you Jeffery, usually my painting dry in 24 hours. It also depends on the weather and time of year.

[@jeffreydeangray]

Symphony of Colors Thank you! 😊

[@0208connie]

Beautiful. Did you use silicone in the dark paint that you swiped over the other colors also?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thank you Connie, Yes, I used silicon in dark paint as well.

[@judithja2157]

I really do like your technique so beautiful and I want to try it but I’m thinking about mixing color with only water. Do you think it would come out like this? My paintings will show in public the end of April 2018 for exhibit and I would love to show this kind of technique. Thanks

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thanks Judith. This effect happens because of the density of pigment in the suspended form so adding only water will depend on what kind of acrylic paints you are using. If you use soft body acrylics, water may work. In that case keep the paints to slightly thicker side. If you are planning to use thicker hard body acrylics, you will have to give more base to pigments to make them of flowy consistency and a pouring medium/acrylic medium/gloss medium can help you. You can even use Elmers glue or PVA glue to give a base to pigments in the acrylic paint. Generally that ratio is 70% acrylic paint+30% added medium. You can then change consistency by adding water. I hope this information is helpful. All the best for your exhibition in April :)

[@judithja2157]

Thank you so much for the info and for your kindness. I will do this as soon I have time. So excited to try this... your info and tips will helps a lot and I am very thankful for that. More video... :) I will follow your instructions.

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

You are welcome Judith Ahrens. I will bring more videos :)

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

It just occurred to me. Since you are making this painting for the exhibition, you may like this recent swipe painting of mine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXSmoJiGdsujsKc

[@dr.maryllishughes1214]

I loved & was inspired by this video! But what is your name please?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thanks Maryllis Ellen. My name is Purnima😀

[@shoshke113]

Beautiful! Which colours did you use?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thank you Shoshke s m! I used Liqitex cerulean blue, payne's grey, orange, light portrait pink, magenta, quinacridone red orange and a mix of natural grey and cerulean blue.

[@SewLambitious]

Beautiful outcome! Your color choices are very interesting and it's surprising how well they turn out! I noticed you mentioned that you are always wondering how it WILL turn out. I have not started trying this technique, but I feel I will be hindered if I practice too much on small pieces. With my pain and mobility issues, I hate the thought of having a flop then needing to sand down a large canvas to start over, but I "Feel Big Emotions" and want to start big very quickly! =) I love your name "Symphony of Colors"! Very clever! Could you please reference your music choices in your descriptions? I am always checking video descriptions for mentions of great music to add to my playlist for Music to Create Art. Thank you for another beautiful piece of art! Subscribed.

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thanks Sewlambitious. You can do any amount of planning but it is one technique, where result always surprise/excite you in the end. This set is was commissioned by someone and I included colors of the room decor in the painting and added few complementary colors. I am happy that you liked it:)

[@joanneking698]

Thank you for sharing this. Its lovely! I am a beginner and have a question about the swipe technique - when you swipe here, the black seems to become the "outline" of the other coloured cells. Is that because you start the swipe at the black line? Would a different colour become the outline if you started elsewhere? Does it work with paler colours or white? Thank you for your time

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Joanne King. Your observation is right. Black outline came because I swiped with black. So, black covered the other paints and a layering happened. The color at the bottom, then surfaced forming cells and black became outline. It will happen with whatever color you will choose to swipe. Sometimes, you can do two way swipe and thus making cell borders of your choice colors and multiple colors. Check this video for a two way swipe kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3aXc2x-h7-Xarc you can see result of an whitish swipe here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmO2ZZxue8Z7nNE Hope this is helpful. If you have any question or you would like to see a swipe with specific color, please let me know and I will do that experiment for you.

[@StudioPashnada]

I love these two paintings Purnima. It's a beautiful diptych. Was that payne's gray you swiped with?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thanks, Sherry! Yes, it is payne's gray:)

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I liked all of the colors except the magenta. It just didn't float my boat. Ha ha! But, hey, if YOU like it, that's all that matters.

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thanks DrummerGrrrl:)

[@Pottymoon]

What's DEMCO please? Can you get it in the UK?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Hi Pottymoon, Demco is a pouring medium. It is available here in Canada as it is Canadian brand and it is very cost effective. I have written a note to company to see if they sell in UK and I will let you know when they respond.

[@Pottymoon]

Symphony of Colors Thank you so much. Cost effective sounds very attractive right now, this process is bankrupting me 😫

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

I can totally understand:) Using dollar store paints also works. I have even used house paints and got good results as you can see in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6elg6igrdmIbZo

[@stephenwessells2347]

That's house paints?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Stephan Wessells. I have used Liquitex art paints in this video. Watch my video "Acrylic pour with black swipe" and you will see that I have used acrylic house paints for the pour. Here is the link to that video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6elg6igrdmIbZo

[@afshankhan1419]

Brilliant n gorgeous work. Which brand of silicone have u used?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Thanks Afshan Khan. I have used DuPont Teflon Silicone Lubricant from Lowes in this painting. I don's care much about any brand, I just check that it has good percentage of silicon oil in it. Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate if you have any more question:)

[@bsax1233]

What is the mix recipe? Paint,water, silicone,etc?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

We prepare specific medium and call it pouring medium. Then mix the pouring medium with the acrylic paint. Please check this link to see how the final paint mix is prepared kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGqpZKaco9aAfqM In the end just before stating the painting we mix few drops of silicon oil in the paint and this helps in the separation of paints and formation of cells.

[@sheikhiqra2765]

i liked it but just want to ask you that those cells or bubbles style which came after you swipe colour pouring ... how it comes? i mean is this only because of "silicon oil" in it............? or there is also any other way for it beacuse i want to try pouring and want thoses cells style but dont know how can it came without silicon oil. please reply me anybody who know the answer.... thanks

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Sheikh Iqra, the different colors of these paints have different chemical composition and different viscosity. These separate when these are mixed together. The trick is to mix the paint in a specific consistency. Silicon helps in keeping these different paints separated. Please watch my video on how to prepare paints for pouring. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGqpZKaco9aAfqM

[@sheikhiqra2765]

Thanks dear it means you are saying that more we mix paint well more cells we get on canvas by pouring.... And yup I will watch your that too 😁

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Yes, mixing the paint well is really important:)

[@carolynwatson6042]

What does the whole picture look Like????????

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Carolyn, if you check the end of the video, I have photographs of the dry paintings and how these are looking on the wall. It is at 11:39 right at the end.

[@sabrinamason5477]

What do you use to get the cells

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Hi Sabrina, I use silicon oil to aid in getting cells but mixing the paint in right consistency and of a specific thickness helps in getting cells. Please watch my playlist on preparing paints and techniques of acrylic pouring kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGqpZKaco9aAfqM

[@nicolamertens7223]

I wonder if there was silicon in the black ?

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Yes, Nicola, I added silicon in the black as well.

[@nicolamertens7223]

Symphony of Colors ok, thank you

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

You are welcome Nicola😀

[@caroljohnson-rm1tj]

What brands of paint. Is it resin.

[@symphonyofcolors2017]

Hi carol johnson, these are Liquitex acrylics. the colors are cerulean blue, payne's grey, orange, light portrait pink, magenta, quinacridone red orange and a mix of natural grey and cerulean blue.
