[@LadyEdHD805]

INCREDIBLE!

[@NiSeeeeee]

Love it!

[@nancybell8566]

You are soooo good. I wondered if I could paint directly over my duds

[@bonesgirl302]

Sometimes it takes a leap of faith and that seems to work for you.

[@crystalphillips7123]

In love with your cloudy effect!!! Glad you did the 2nd pour on top of the first. It is absolutely STUNNING!!! It looks like the heavens opened up for you!!!

[@MelyDartist]

Thank you so much Crystal!! :)

[@milisaspencer6744]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@carrieeasley3995]

Your questionable works are absolutely gorgeous! Don't ever doubt yourself. You are a very talented artist.

[@Kitkat2870]

there's absolutely no talent involved...the paint does all the work if you think about it. The only think she does is tilt the canvas to cover it with the paint.

[@rhondawilson3990]

Nathalie Fortier I'd remove this comment if your said this on my channel! Us Fluid Artists work our butt off on techniques, mixing, etc & put much more thought into the many decisions we make to create each piece. We have enough struggles on self doubt without hearing these type of comments. Why not encourage us & be kind? This world is full of enough haters without adding to the situation. Besides....why are you watching Artists that you claim to have no talent anyway?

[@MeltedArtworkx]

Hi Mely! I know this video is older, but it’s still a beautiful piece! ❤️

[@MelyDartist]

Thank you!!

[@louisestubois9241]

Stunning!

[@PieraB]

I SO love this effect! You are so talented and thank you for explaining how you do what you do. Love your channel! I'm from Canada too :) Blessings be!

[@diamondpearl1204]

I like the first one and the second one

[@staceycordell607]

Absolutely breathtaking! I love your work, you seem to put so much thought into it.

[@MelyDartist]

I do put a ton of thought into it :) thank you!

[@slowsavage5522]

Love both paintings!!! Amazing as always!

[@karenmanson1782]

[@carmelapeters7586]

Fantastic! Too thin? OMG, no, PERFECT!!

[@MelyDartist]

Hahaha you're funny!

[@MyshaArtDesign]

Love this ❤❤❤

[@pindarifarmlife]

Well it’s official you are the cloud queen ☁️ 👸 awesome job congratulations 👏👏👏

[@suefalls1600]

Very pretty!!!

[@beckymonaghan50]

I love this! Thank you for being honest. I was wondering if it was necessary to do the first pour! An amazing pour!

[@MelyDartist]

Thank you!

[@kathiereynolds2809]

I’m really really happy that you are so happy with this pour. And rightfully so! It’s super nova stellar!

[@LisaWyattArtMyBestMedicine]

I see a beautiful baby in the womb, like a sonogram. Love it

[@brendalarocque8782]

Well Done! Love this!

[@sionmarcsimpson7487]

Beautiful as always Mel. But I did actually like the results of the first pour! lol. Love your work kiddo, very inspiring. ;)

[@dianavincent2535]

I have been pouring for a few months but just discovered your videos a few weeks ago so am late to the party but really love your art and appreciate your sharing your style. I am trying this tomorrow! It is so beautiful

[@juliechambers5333]

End result is perfection..Did anything from the first pour remain under the second pour to give this result? Thanks for your many inspirations😍

[@christinesykes7672]

Stunning !!! Love it 💚💚💚......but I also loved the first pour with the pastel colours💚💚💚. I'm not having any success with pouring at the moment but I'm still new to Acrylic painting so I will keep trying.....your videos are so inspirational Thank you xx Ps: The long one ......nice but doesn't seem to reflect your personality x

[@tatianabodnar8706]

I admire your every job! It's great! I have a question: does white paint for initial filling of canvas also contain satin paint or is it just white plain paint?

[@roootsfarmer]

Beautiful painting. And i like your voice. It’s relaxing... 😌

[@kendraeberle5551]

Beautiful and Heavenly. So peaceful and striking!

[@andreaherreraaranguiz3527]

PORQUE lo hizo dos veces el CUADRO.......???

[@clayfeathers]

NO!! Don’t cover it up it’s beautiful!!! 😲🥺🤔🤗🥰👏👍❤️. I love it! 😃

[@coleenhuff432]

It like you're under water swimming to the surface.

[@yolandedepalo1452]

Waaaaa 😮😮😮❤️❤️

[@annsimmons6254]

I wish it would have been 2 paintings because I loved the first one too. Nice work!! They both looked like a piece of Heaven to me.

[@crochethappy3786]

Heaven is lined with streets of gold....Revelation 21:21 PS when I was on paint groups (I have since unsubscribed, I directed people to you with the cloud effect and let them know from whence it came....that I remembered when it was a secret! mANY DID NOT KNOW SO i HOPE YOU GOT EVEN MORE SUBSCRIBERS!(sorry for the caps-to lazy to fix)

[@suesturges6022]

Love it, I’m going to try right now. Wish me luck. Bc of your paints being thin.....no cracking. Right?

[@deeaholman6872]

MelyD. what beauty! love this! ❤️👍🌟💥🥰🌈 The pour above is interesting but not a fav for me. Sorry!

[@jankowaluk5737]

pretty damned awesome ❗️ i m really liking watching ur oldies 😮 even ur living room wall 👍🏼

[@barronlindsey2617]

Wow looks like an elephant shaking his trunk and making a cloud affect trunk!! LoL..Thank you, great job.

[@sylvielaville5144]

Good evening, I paint fluid paint for several weeks and I love it. I look at all your videos, always very pretty and with a lot of technique, I would like to ask you a question, what do you do on the back of the painting, which at home and sometimes dirty with paint stains? it is a way of painting little known in France and it is a pity because very interesting to do and see, thank you for your reponses

[@TaraLynn56]

DecoArt Americana Decor Satin Enamels (white) I looked for this today, and my bottle says everything except enamel. There was nothing there that said enamel? Are you talking about oil based paint?

[@carolynbrew3770]

Love you shared this with us you did this so good I love the first but this second one Gorgeous..It's so beautiful it looks like Clouds in space my goodness❤The one on top was kinda hard to see I will check it out on your site Again I really love this Cloud pour ‼️💙

[@kendrapayne7598]

So awesome. So magical. So bad@$$. I love the effect. I understand the white layer first so the paint flows, correct?? But why the first colored "dirty pour" before the final color pour?? Just wondering if I need to do it when I try. Seems like a waste? For sure worth whatever it takes to get those effects!!

[@ChanchalSingh13]

Gorgeous painting!! May I know the ratio for pouring medium and color, how to prepare satin enamel with white color? I have bought it but scared to mix without knowing the exact ratio. Plz help

[@saucyjack8548]

Ohhhh... Love it! 'Cosmic Marshmallow'

[@KARYNL101]

Just curious, Melyd..if you hadn’t done the second pour, do you think your colors might have surfaced through the white? I am really trying to master this technique, but I seem to be going too thick and my paint isn’t moving enough.

[@larph7270]

I realy liked the first poor! It was very cloudy effect. Might be cuz I like soft tones more :D

[@ketokatt5555]

Amazing how the red shades came out to look like rose gold. Love it and ALL your work. Xoxo frm US

[@kittie_sugar]

I liked it before the second pour, so subtle and soft and calming, but even the result after the second pour is quite pretty! I would love to try all this myself, I would love to make some galaxy/nebula pours, if only I had the space and money!

[@alicianastuk9962]

I dont think your paints were too thin.. i think your paints were perfect. That is beautiful

[@lillianruiz464]

Nobody makes clouds like you do. I seen people do it and how much they struggle to get it done but not you easy Peezy for you. What at least it looks that way. I love watching you you’re amazing

[@sadiegrater]

Why are you mixing the two white brands? Is it the one has a heavier density and pours differently, or it is a matter of the paints reacting and flowing differently (and therefore different branded whites create different visual effects?) Thanks! Beautiful work.

[@tinkaward6921]

You are a very likable person and your explanations are not only understandable, but also presented in such an infectious, natural way . That's why I like to watch your videos

[@paulettehenrikson5796]

This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing how you do this. I've done one and I love it.

[@aprilranew1216]

What do you think made the center textured like that once it dried?

[@neelsnprayer]

Thanks for pouring your heart out with your experiments and sharing with us your trials, errors and lessons. You should feel honored with all the people doing your trade mark cloud effect out there in the pouring world! 😀

[@MelyDartist]

I didn't know there were so many! Thank you :)

[@faithwillwin]

How many times did you try this before you got it right? I'm at about 5, almost....but not thrilled yet. ☺

[@heatherkrause686]

what consistency is this technique done...looks like a "too thin" consistency but if you were to compare to something familiar what should it feel or look like when you drizzle it off the spoon into the cup

[@carrollduran4346]

Oh my Lord that is amazingly beautiful! Ever since I've been playing around with the cloud effect I have been playing around and trying to figure out how I could achieve a looking through the clouds from space effect. this picture totally reminds me of that !!! Awesome I just love it!!! thank you so much for sharing your Technique with us, you have given me so much to play with thank you ever so kindly!!

[@MelyDartist]

Thank you so much! And I couldn't be happier to help in any way I could. Hope you create magic 💙

[@janadarnold2500]

Luv the big cells and the contrast of the brown is great.

[@heatherkrause686]

what do you do differently to get a cloud effect vs dump and swirl?

[@CMLCustoms01]

Your art is very beautiful but i did want to ask, why do you do a second pour on top of the first? How does that affect the painting?

[@judyhyland9483]

Corina Mlopez she explained that she didn’t care for the first pour, so poured another

[@daya820]

Gorgeous, I love the colors and the shape of the cloud

[@ShelliAndersonArt]

It does look heavenly!!

[@CarolePenhaleKing]

Lovely

[@kayschneider6069]

I just tried this cloud effect and it didn't turn out, didn't get the clouds. What is the ratio of Satin to Artist White to Liquidex and do you add any water to it? thanks! Your paintings are stunning

[@faithwillwin]

She said it was 1/2 & 1/2+ a tad of liquitex pm & water. I've watched this at least 6 times. lol so far...close but no cigar.

[@cheriecrews6327]

I love it! Do you think any enamel paint would work?

[@rossanacareccia9369]

buongiorno...scusa non capisco inglese, il satin enamel dove lo metti nel bianco? in che prporzioni? e nei colori il pm?...grazie e buon anno

[@annamaillet6574]

Can this be done without the dark colours besides blue? Or does it help produce the shades between the white

[@trobop1]

What is the ratio of white to Deco Art white satin and PM ? Thank you !

[@roslynhamilton2515]

Gorgeous love this x Australia x

[@sharonbayger5387]

turned out beautifully I want to try this with floetrol. Do you think that will work

[@laurienye7514]

It did not crack like the other because of what?

[@dorothybrook820]

Absolutely stunning piece.

[@barbaradeerfield2204]

Looks like clouds over the ocean

[@michellesallerson8201]

I love it. What creates the cloud effect?

[@deidremillerdeesart9273]

Stunning inspiring art as always❤️

[@trishvaneck3707]

I love your works....but why 2 pours??? Why not use the enamel in the cover pour first then the dirty pour...just wondering your thought process....

[@trishvaneck3707]

Sorry....I asked my question before seeing the whole video....

[@debbielight4449]

I absolutely love it just love it

[@m.c.5124]

Every time you pour I’m more and more amazed. Keep up the good work. 😁

[@MelyDartist]

Thank you :))

[@sanyuktachakraborty6228]

Lovely painting 👍🏻

[@rfgrannyb4092]

This is wonderful :)

[@andywandner2595]

Love, love, love. Clouds in heaven

[@kaynewsom6780]

I know this is older but I love it

[@wilmagressl8274]

hi, how much liquitex and Satin Enamels you mix? and how much water?

[@lindafrier1615]

Absolutely stunning! I have tried to get this effect 3 times today and am not getting cells. Maybe I need to thin my paint more. Thanks for sharing.👍🏻

[@MelyDartist]

This technique isn't really for cells it's for the cloud effect. The cells were a bonus in this one ;)

[@jeanettehibben4754]

Heavenly !! ☁ 👏 👏 GREAT

[@ratalise]

ou est le rouge ??? c'est tellement beau

[@lilianam5140]

Its beautiful! in my country there isnt artist loft flow to prepare the cloud, here there are liquitex and masterdam, can I use them to replace artist loft, these are thicker acrylics, can the be lightened with water? thank you very much.

[@MelyDartist]

Yes! You can use Liquitex basics with the satin enamels it should work :)

[@susanck100]

how about if you put just a little bit white or put less Enamels?

[@jayneofspain3322]

I love the one you say you are unsure of.
