I am so happy that I found acrylic pouring/fluid art a few years ago. It has helped me in so many ways and it just keeps getting better and better. This visual arts creative outlet has made me so happy. I am loving this abstract art! I hope to keep doing this for years to come! I have always been fascinated by modern and contemporary art. There is something about it that is so freeing and expressive. I love acrylic pouring because I get to experiment and really join the creative side of my brain with the scientific part! There are so many different fluid acrylic pouring techniques out there, so much more to try and have fun with. Make sure you are subscribed to my channel so that you may learn and be creative with me. I love hearing all of your comments.

This looks like so much fun! Imagine your circle as a small table on a porch with a could of ice cream chairs in the summer!

[@colleengunning3671]

Balloon kisses can be so addictive! Can't stop yourself from doing one more. This is so beautiful. The bright colors, and the blended colors make such a beautiful bouquet. Thanks for another inspiration.

[@USAF_Bride]

Hi Molly! I’ve been learning from you for several months now and could never quite put my finger on why you tutorials strike such a chord with me…It’s because your art and your online persona are infinitely authentic!!! That’s why everything you do (that I’ve seen) feels so warm and human!! Thank you!!!❤

[@tccreations4390]

You so inspire me to keep painting... love your excitement and your honesty with your likes and dislikes..... go Molly....

[@pcornell3410]

Yes, thanks Gilly. Wonderful job Molly

[@GlynisFox]

Love your color choices 😍 ! For your instinct of wanting to use the lovely paint left on the balloon, I have a bunch of 4 inch plain tiles cleaned and stacked, pre-painted with odds and ends of leftover base paint just for this situation! "Kiss" the tiles, ta da! Instant coasters! BTW, if you haven't seen Gilly Kube videos, she's the queen of balloon kisses!

[@mariehampton740]

UNBELIEVABLE!! SOME OF THESE LOOK JUST LIKE ORCHID BLOOMS !!

[@elizabethrossi7604]

Just beautiful! It reminds me of dancing butterflies 🦋 I have a palm sander and a random orbital sander. To get a really fine sanded surface, I prefer the random orbital sander. The palm sander isn’t that forgiving, and can give you routs, or gouges in the wood. The ro sander “blends” better (to me).

[@cynthiawilson8294]

So gorgeous! Yes, I am obsessive about sanding and gessoing new canvases. All the prep pays off when we’re our own worst critics.

[@bethrios2782]

I love this painting. It is gorgeous and very fallish.

[@dragonflyer59]

absolutely gorgeous... the small canvases look like either morning glories, or dinnerplate hibiscus... you have made the pour paint using the balloon method much more interesting enough to give it a try... thank you...

[@daniellezepess]

This puts me in mind of an abstract floral. Very calm to look at, but it has nice movement that pulls the eye casually around the composition. With a resin coat, it could be a great table top... then it doesn't matter which way is up!

[@tessasylvia7212]

This piece is so beautiful. ❤

Wow! Mesmerizing Colours! They just Pop out of the White Canvas to Hook U! They remind one of Gorgeous Bold Vibrant Coloured Blossoms & the wispy ends remind Me of Silky Tentecles! All in all JUST PRETTY & the swipes on Ur two other Canvases Gorgeous too!I LOVED IT!!!

[@DesertLily9895]

I like the unusual shape of the finished project 🙂. I see an interesting combo of an hour glass up top and a flairing flamenco skirt at the bottom. I think a series of the same shape (with a smidge more negative space 😜), with different palettes, would be interesting! 😊

[@amaliabreznila9521]

[@WitsEnd2013]

A couple of things that might help with prepping your boards. Try a Dremel sander. Sand your raw board to help with the graining. When sealers, paints, and stains are applied to woods it will often 'raise' the grain of the wood some. Instead of using a brush, try using a small (3") foam roller when applying your sealer and gesso. If you are 'thinning' any of your products continue to do so. If you put your roller in water right after use, you can clean and reuse it and clean the roller tray as soon as possible. Then continue to sand between each layer. By using a roller you won't have as much issue as with brush strokes. Use is just like you would paint a wall...don't paint just up and down or side to side to side...angle the roller to over lap previous strokes and into unpainted areas...doing this helps eliminate 'lines' and gives better coverage. Hope this helps. Love this technique.

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

These are great tips thank you!!

[@andrewsimpson1892]

This is so pretty, I think the white sections play a very important part, by elevating all the colours, so amazing!..balloon dips are incredible..Nice one Molly!

[@lifeadventureswithjeremyca590]

Awesome and inspiring work! I find it great that, you decided to go with a wooden canvas!! My journey into the art world began, with wood burning art!! I'm always looking for tips, and inspiration, to become a better artist!!! I'm just now, getting into abstract art, and I love it!!! Since I started with wood canvases, I mostly stick with them!!! Also, I usually make my own wood canvases, using pallets, or other reclaimed materials!!!! Using recycled materials, saves, me some money, and it help turns junk into something new!!!! Thanks for sharing art knowledge, and inspiration with us!!!! Happy creating!!!!$🎃🎨🔥❤🍁🍂🤙🏽

How do you know how much paint you need? I just did my first 2 pours and I was actually happy with them, but I used a LOT of paint

[@guitardee1]

Hi Molly. Rinska Douna scrapes off mistakes and then covers the space with the background colour so you could do that when you venture accidentally into your negative space. I also thought that dabbing off the balloon onto paper could create really lovely wrapping paper. Even tissue paper might work. Gonna give this a try. Thanks so much for your post
