Floetrol vs Water ONLY | Acrylic Pouring

[@VizoliArt]

Which one do you like better? :)

[@angie-makes-art1036]

I Like both😂😍👍🏻

[@Trebbor1958]

I like the water only one better.

[@mandiwood3524]

I don’t like the way the water one crinkled a bit in that area when it dried. Question: is that an American brand of Floetrol?

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you! :)

[@VizoliArt]

Seems most people prefer that one. :)

[@karengoodenough827]

I’m probably going to be in the minority but I actually prefer the water over flattop one, it has a dreamy quality that I like

[@VizoliArt]

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much for the feedback! :)

[@anazec2887]

I am New in this. I didn't tray yet. Do you put pouring liquid in color before you mix it with color. Also I got synthetic oil for making cells in color. NOW i watch this video and have no klue whot is in larger canister 😢. Tell me how do I begin. Give me eny advice please. Vith love Ana

[@serenityjewel]

​@@anazec2887Floetrol is in the large canister. You prepare each color mixture separately first, like she did in this video. When each color is ready, then you add it to your cup, like she did in this mixture. I have no idea what synthetic oil is, so if you got that off a video, follow the video instructions that told you to buy the synthetic oil. Everyone does their paint pours a little different so it's best to stick with one person and try their techniques to see if it works for you. Then you can always look someone else up and try their techniques. I don't suggest mixing techniques before you even try the first one.

[@316lvmnoneofyourbusiness7]

Better late than never. I really like the water only painting. It's "soft" looking, tranquil, but there's areas that are sharper so it's a nice contrast. Plus, for me, the water only painting pulls me into it - like looking at clouds

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much!

[@mylenefarmer7204]

The one with Floetrol is much vibrant, lines well defined, no mudiness, right amount of cells 👍

[@VizoliArt]

Well said. Thanks for watching!

[@scarlettrose5562]

Wow. This was the most therapeutic experience I have had in a long time. The music. The methodical nature of the process. The colors and movement. The video alone was a work of art. Thank you ❤️

[@terrireid5445]

Thank you for this. I actually like the vibrancy of the colors in the Floetrol painting, but I like the lack of the cells in the water only painting. I'm collecting paints and canvases to try my hand at this artwork (I have never considered myself and artist or thought I had and artistic bone in my body). I think it is so neat!

Same here, Cyndi! I'm really rethinking all my pouring mediums, and tiring of bubbles and cells. I love the translucency of the water-only design. We should try this experiment on our channels!

It might sound strange but what looks really artistic to me is the streams of paint sitting in the water like open roses. I’d love to see a photo of that close up

Thank you very much! I will post close ups to my instagram, follow me! :) Thanks a lot, Dixie!

[@asher1383]

I had the same thought. 😄

[@rallen9433]

I was thinking the same thing. In photography class we had an assignment where you take a close-up of something and then the class would try to figure out what it was. I always go there in my mind when I see compositions that could be taken in photos.

[@annsiebel3682]

[@ellenylitalo5809]

I like the floetrol one. It seems more vibrant. It was fun to watch. Thanks!

[@VizoliArt]

Thanks a lot, Ellen!

[@marysue6]

Both beautiful. I like the cells in the Floetrol pour and the softer no cell water pour.

[@MamaJLW]

I’m glad you did this comparison. It helps to see them side by side.

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you so much!

[@tessgoyne]

Thank you so much for showing how to mix and the difference in the water and Flotrel. I liked them both actually. ❤

[@VizoliArt]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@savtaesther2]

I also appreciate showing us the difference. Can you suggest using white glue instead of the floetrol?

[@allfortheking469]

I like the softer dreamier effect of the water. Both are beautiful though.

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much!

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Great comparison! In this instance, I actually like the water one, but I tend to prefer pouring with Floetrol because it's hard to get good results every time with water.

[@VizoliArt]

[@birdingsue]

Actually I like them both!

[@VizoliArt]

Haha, same for me, I can't decide neither..

[@agnesbatallones1860]

Both are good, they have their own uniqueness of art flow 🥰👍.

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you!

[@michellebyrom6551]

I like both for different purposes. The floetrol mix has an interesting image as it is. The water mix I would be inclined to use as a backdrop for a clock or a quote, it has a more ethereal feel.

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much for the feedback! :)

[@Silverstudiobc]

I’m not an artist like most of you, but I like both. Floetrol maybe a bit more, but I suppose it depends on the look you’re going for. Great video. Great to see side by side.

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much!

[@maxinejohnson524]

I like both of them. Both are a dream state. One with muted colors and the other with vibrant colors upon colors (cells). Thanks for sharing.

[@donnayeager2703]

First, I love the way you filmed this! I have never tried water only, but I will now. I use Flotrol some, but I really like a glue/water mix because I like the finish. Of these two of yours, I would pick the water.

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much, I appreciate it! :)

[@taramitrovka2942]

Donna, what kind of glue do you use, and in what proportion? Does it give a bit of a glossy finish?

[@entelakusi-kauffmann9038]

@@taramitrovka2942 I have seen on a video from Mixed media that they use Elmers Glue all… if I am not mistaken the same ratio as paint+floetrol

[@michellebyrom6551]

@@entelakusi-kauffmann9038 never used Elmers glue as it hasn't been on the GB market long and costs a lot more than domestic brands. Woodworking quality pva is still fairly cheap but thicker and stronger as a glue than school craft pva and I find that works in similar proportions as recommended for floetrol.

[@128cherylmarie]

I'm deciding I want to do one of each. I love how you did this video contrasting and comparing and doing it without any words. Just visual. So nice! Beautiful work. I like this natural flow out of any other work I've seen on KZbin with the pouring techniques 🌈🌅🌈

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you so much!

[@lorrainemitchell9093]

The floetrol helps with cells coming through but the smoothness looks good too, they both look nice in their own way, with or without cells 👍

[@tinagerhardt2376]

I think the flotrol gives cleaner and more vibrant colors. With just water, the colors kind of run together and get a little muddied.

[@VizoliArt]

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[@emilycochrane78]

love this,, iv been watching loads of videos trying to figure out ratios and it just clicked the whole purpose of floetrol,, that it prevents paints blending together,, i always had issues yrs ago painting just normal paints with brushes why my colours always ended up in a blended dark purple, it all makes more sense now, this is a new venture i plan on starting when i build up supplies and learning first and to attempt these on small canvases to start off with, i need to understand the after care of the canvas once the painting is complete and dry, can you use glitters or anything along with metallic paints? iv always used acrylics as they are a favourite and a perfect paint, great video, ill be checking out lots more from here

[@moniquehoffman8828]

I like the fact it shows 2 different ideas ! Compare the paints mix overall that was great 👍🏼 I do like the water with paints gives a dreamy flow than other one . ❤️

They are both lovely, but I definitely prefer the Floetrol one better.....there is more going on with the colours appearing to be more vibrant, with 3D effects, clear lines and some cells....a little bit of everything to catch the eye.

[@VizoliArt]

[@melissafrey1308]

This overall quality of your canvas is going to depend on the quality level of your paints.. professional level paints has has higher pigmentation and doesn't look as flat vs student level paint which has lower level quality pigmentation that can separate causing the colors to look less bright. Golden Fluid Paint Vs Paint Masters Pouring paint is a good comparison. You can add just water to the Golden Fluid paints without issues whatsoever but student level paints start to separate a bit when diluted.

[@VizoliArt]

Well said. Also, you gave me an excellent comparison idea, Cheap vs Expensive paint. :) Thanks a lot for your feedback!

[@curtriceennis2924]

[@lililonga7941]

I am brand new to this scene. Like 1 day old, maybe 1.5 days if we include today🤪 and I am so happy your video was presented to me! This video was exceptionally informative both in make up, and end result comparisons. So thank you for sharing this! While the water one is such a soft blending and full of rolling clouds of power. If you rotate the floetrol one 90 deg AC, it looks like a fish chasing a bubble of life or something, i think it is a really cool, that that burst of cells just changed the picture entirely.... whatever it is that you may see. ❤ thank you!

[@robira1313]

If you want cells.....FLOETROL! If not......water only. That is what I've learned here.

The water-only design is richer, more depth, no annoying pock-marks and bubbles. After three years of acrylic pouring, I am finally rethinking both Floetrol and GAC800. The jury is still out on Liquitex Pouring Medium. Well done video, new sub here.

I can't get over how much paint goes to waste

[@VizoliArt]

[@expatmoose]

I’m concerned with such paintings about the amount of plastic cups and paints ending in the environment after cleaning, or even what happens to the paint that’s tipped off, after watching many ppl do this no one seems to talk about this, maybe I’m too “green” The paintings do look cool though, just wish I had some answers regarding the environment 👍🏻

[@mllev.sexologie]

@@expatmoose ive started myself and i agree... Its not only not a "green" thing to do but its also very expensive. Paint/medium/silicone/torche/plastic cups/protections like shower curtain... And i dont know how its possible to save the left overs... You would have a large amount of brown paint at the end. I dont know yet if i will continue... But there is definitly a way to make that leizure a bit more "green"

[@expatmoose]

@@mllev.sexologie therefore I use glass jars to recycle instead of plastic cups, pour straight from that put the lid on when finished if any left over, I’m just starting too with only the basics, also with my leftovers that drop of I try to pour in a spot so I can lay a canvas on the dropped paint, I turn the canvas 45 degrees right still on the paint, e’voila another painting down from drops, you should try it👍🏻 happy painting

[@mllev.sexologie]

@@expatmoose i will for sure! Thanks for the advice!!! By the way.... Can i use just 50 acrylic and 50 paint medium? And a bit of water to make is like honey texture? There is too much receipe and since i am a mother of 5 the budget is so low ;)

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

I actually like them both... for different reasons. The water only - doesn't have as many cells, and the colors aren't as vibrant, however, the colors blended together to form new colors, which gives the painting a more ethereal, dreamlike look, which I love. The floetrol colors have more cells, which if you like that kind of look, it sparks more interest. But what pulls me into the second one is the colors. There is a little blending of colors there, not as much, but the colors are more vibrant, more alive to me which I also love. There's also a bolder distinction between the colors. I don't have a choice of one painting over the other... I actually love the distinctive differences between the two.

Both are good. It would depend on what outcome you're looking for. If you don't want cells, water is fine. I've only ever used Australian floetrol and I noticed that the UK one is thicker and gives less cells. If I don't want cells, I use a mixture of PVA glue and water as my medium. I do love Amsterdam acrylics. Thank you for sharing ✌️❤️
