Totally saved by the tripod.. OMG! 3:55

[@MzRiaG]

OMG! It made me jump. I had that sickly feeling you were going to kick that canvas right off the base! Nice save!

[@svitanok3891]

Hi MelyD. Did you add enamel only to black? in other colors there is nothing but medium? Thank you

[@marilynthaxton568]

Its a little piggy going into the magic land of MelyD paintings...which we all ❤!

[@crochethappy3786]

love seeing you back to your old swirls! And you gave your white secret away!

[@TheInvincibleViolet]

I totally LOVE the DUMP and SWIRL. It adds a feeling of FREEDOM in pouring, just to see how it will go, and whatever is created is wonderful. I can't wait to try it.. Beautiful :)

[@rubyred2856]

Spectacular

[@LorieWitt]

Wow, that was completely crazy the way those cells popped out. Stunning.

[@marial9925]

It looks like a bunny to me jumping into the hole! Awesome result Mely!

[@judymurner7506]

Wow, so pretty. Great time lapse

[@bonesgirl302]

Wow! It lives! Beautiful colors.

[@lindajohnston759]

I can't believe what I learn from you! Thank you so much for your approach to pouring and your simple, realistic videos. Super work! This is gorgeous!!!!!

[@brucesr8744]

the transitions are intense, really like the things you do

[@barbarahastings6285]

Mely I can always count on you doing something interesting and amazing. You are an artist extraordinaire

[@theresamccorkle4231]

I see a pink elephant walking into a cave...love it!

[@MonicaTiaMoniArts6973]

Wow, what a lucky trip. I love this. Red orange yellow is such a great color combo. It's like a gorgeous sponge and I love how the colors dried. It seems you do not need to pour off most of the paint that you are able to leave a nice layer. Awesome MelyD!

[@sheilastringfield3463]

I also see the bunny. . . Down the Rabbit Worm Hole. Fantastic work, as usual.

[@schism6976]

Holy crap lol. I swear I didn't this see comment before I typed mine. I pretty much agree with the rabbit thing.✌️

[@aprila3203]

Sheila Stringfield Peter Rabbit! was my knee jerk reaction... lol

[@nidhipours1985]

I see the bunny too

[@olgachanachowicz2861]

This is beautiful. I love the colours as well as the fluffy cells. Just gorgeous. You are so talented and never afraid to try new things. I love it!

[@RBrown-zl6wo]

Truely stunning!

[@bonesgirl302]

Oh my Law. Look what you did. Multiple cells!

[@monicacamilli2743]

I was considering using another color of Enamel, because the store was out of white and beige. I’m not nearly as brave as you and was scared no....Terrified of darker colors. Plus, I wouldn’t have considered being so caviler with he paints. You even freaked me out at your 2nd splash of Black paint. Thank you so much. I’m going back to my place to paint until they close! Totally inspired!!! THANKS FOR SHARING.

[@itchy711]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@schism6976]

Awesome!! It looks like a time traveling bunny. Peaking out of a black hole😎

[@judy8809]

I think it looks like a pink and white piglet ....so cute.....

[@barbtemplin7864]

You are fearless! Love what you’re doing!

[@sanctuarynaturals]

Fascinating stuff! I’ve got some black Satin Enamel (Deco) but I just keep staring at it like it might explode or something...gonna give it a go - or three! Startling results!!

[@cochrajg]

Gorgeous and amazing! I went into panic mode when it seemed like it’d be all black, and you were tilting some color edges off the canvas ... “Oh, no! What is she doing?!” Then the colors popped in through the black! I love it ❤️ Thank you! 🌹

[@PetaSymons]

I can see a woman sitting in a cave...her legs coming out and her head arched back...pink dress behind her 🤩

[@lyndawells4507]

Incredible

[@BreAnne.Arlene]

It's the Easter Bunny hopping into the black hole. 😊 Lovely!!!

[@yobagshawe9489]

[@suesturges6022]

Crazy!!!!

[@glorianewman495]

Amazing and interesting as always MelyD.artist 👍 Every time I think the black is going to "take over", I am pleasantly surprised with cool cells and effects! Bravo 😀

[@kendude8089]

Holy Smokes! That was Kool !

[@daniellemainville590]

Wouaaa. Malade !!! 🥰

[@angiecarlton826]

Badass!

[@roslynhamilton2515]

This is amazing x Australia x

[@leahrolan3722]

This is great and I am waiting for some of the deco art enamel in the mail as it’s out of stock in my stores. I can’t wait to try this. As always Mely, you are an amazing artist. Have a blessed day! Oh, the name: Out of the abyss.

[@guylainedrapeau1301]

Omg j aime beaucoup bravo 😍😍😍

[@merbadeau5543]

I saw a coyote going into its den. This is really cool! 😍. It’s got to be the displacement of air when you dump the paint. The thinner the pigment the more displacement. I now have to experiment!! This is a really great result!!

[@sandyquant6934]

You are amazing!

[@mysticmagnolia]

Love It! I agree with the consensus of a rabbit going into the black hole!

[@davemeinhaldt1405]

It's good to see your still fearless, this approach looks like fun. ---Dave...

[@suesturges6022]

Looks like a pink cow going into the black hole. I was totally shocked as to how it dried!

[@andreamuller8468]

Supercool :)

[@rindygood8546]

Looks like a rabbit going into the hole! Nice.

[@robinpinkham9398]

A rabbit running in it looks like to me! Fantastic!!

[@ceciliatroy1595]

I see a bunny also. Very pretty.

[@paulasmall8889]

emerging

[@brendawillems4804]

😍 WoW this is crazy! 🤩 In my eyes its a pink kind of bunny and with the yellow/oranje iTs like a easter painting

[@monicacamilli2743]

I see the bunny leaping inward! Lol

[@gabrielalauracolimodio9988]

Mely, the time lapse is amazing!!! I Will definitively buy enamels vía Amazon because they're not available here in Panamá and Will try this technique. Congrats! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@CreatingIntentionally]

Who's heart stopped for a little when she accidentally kicked the canvas..... it changed sooo much, but it's cool.

[@suziestubebrown5397]

'Lumpy Tongue'? I like weird...very cool!

[@laurencemallick6744]

I see a like a Muscled Ram (or elk?) running INTO a space... but! I don’t have my glasses on... hey MelyD! How many drops of silicone did..... ok, I can’t even finish! Oh! Too funny! You rock... go big girl, go big!

[@sheilamackliet4515]

Me too. Lol

[@MelyDartist]

LMAO! Thank you for making me laugh like this xXx

[@Sharla1213]

I think it's pretty cool that stores are out of stock of the white satin enamels because of you! Lol.

[@MelyDartist]

lol! I think it's cool and not cool at the same time because I havent been able to buy any in over a month so I can't experiment with it anymore... kinda sucks

[@jankowaluk5737]

whoa 🤠 love the weird-o painting ✔️ no-name pink thaing 🥑🍆💗

[@boblydecker5951]

Looks like a PInk Intergalactic Whale straight out of a Douglas Adams novel.

[@sarahpothier5415]

It looks like a demonic deer jumping into the darkness lol. This is great mely ! Looks awsome

[@MelyDartist]

Ohhhh I like this one 🖤

[@Kriner917]

I love it....Your paint looks realy thin what are the ratios? Im new and don't do a very good job at getting my paints at the right thickness. 😖 its frustrating..

[@gailbolton4891]

I'm thinking it looks like a chubby pig(let) prancing into a tunnel. Maybe its head is dissolving or has dissolved. You're right, it IS kind of creepy. On the other hand, the overall look is quite beautiful. I like it.

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Oooooh, i saw the exact same thing - pig, running away, with an exploding head!

[@nrh7711]

Creepy indeed not art

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

@@nrh7711 oh do fuck off. you don't get to decide, anything hopefully. arsehole.

[@lindajakub624]

Hi Melly D. I watched this a while ago. Then I watched many more. I have tried this. I get pretty much no cells and just black. I am wondering, maybe I am tilting off to much paint. I motocross you have not tilted so much of. Please, what do you think? Yours is gorgeous.

[@user-up8lt1to8u]

😊🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤❤

[@glorimarlabrador8786]

Amazing!! It looks like a rabbit going into the black hole!

[@MelyDartist]

yes!!!

[@glorimarlabrador8786]

“Late for Tea with the Mad Hatter” 😂

[@karenstrong8887]

I was told you do dump and swirl painting just adding water and you get pearl cells. I can’t find a video doing that. Tell me where I can learn this please? Thank you and I love this painting. ❤️

[@laurieedwards2257]

Def see a rabbit ❤️

[@deblily3446]

This is amazing! It is so cool how the black takes over and then almost completely gets covered up by cells. Have you tried using any other type of whit or black paint other than Artist's Loft?

[@MelyDartist]

Yes it's what I experimented with when I started and quickly realized the they are pure crap. They change way too much in time leaving you with an ugly painting and plus they fade like crazy.
