Fluid Painting with a Beginner - How To Tutorial Dirty Pour with Swipe Technique

[@CarlMazur]

Hey everyone! Just to let you know I put language subtitles for every language on KZbin (labor intensive, whew!!). So now if you are from France, Germany, Romania, China, Japan or wherever... You will be able to listen in and watch the video. I've had so many requests for this I had to do it. Enjoy!

[@audreygullas8728]

What kind of particules did you get stuck in your fingers ?? Im super curious about that

[@Bee-ly4gx]

Wow, I’m subscribing after reading this even before I watch. My guess is anyone who puts in all that effort must be good.

[@Bee-ly4gx]

Watched it now and I loved it. Brilliant tutorial and great results.

[@ApolloFilmStudio]

awesome!!!

[@BldgsFallStraightDwn]

I am SO GLAD that someone finally explained the paint thickness, preparation, etc. There are THOUSANDS of pours on KZbin. This is the First, and so far ONLY video that went into the mixing and explanation of why, etc. THANK YOU!!

[@CarlMazur]

Wow!! What a comment! Thank you. I work really hard to try and explain everything so people can get the gist of it all. Once you get those steps down you can really have a consistent method of painting and your paints will dry just like when you put it on the canvas. That’s one of the main things I’ve found out. Because you can have a neat painting when it’s wet but then it’ll dry weird later on. I know there are lots of videos out there but it took me forever to find out the process too. People like to speed up the videos and skip all the teaching steps. I’m glad you enjoyed it. ❤️

[@CarolSchmidt-b5p]

I have watched so many, very confusing, this is the first time I have understood,how to mix my paints properly.thank you for explaining, things so I can get to go paint, with out having anxiety attacks, Carol from Belfast N.Ireland

[@jesshasnofilter]

Honestly, I really needed this. Thanks for spelling out the actual step by step process. For novice painters like myself, ( and with severe ADHD), this is great...I even watched the entire video.

[@CarlMazur]

Wow! Thanks Jess, I am so glad you liked it!

[@michellemostert1123]

Brilliant idea to have an actual beginner try this. When experienced people do videos they don't always think of the most basic things. When she is adding the paint you can see her hesitating and you encourage her to add more. The first time I tried this I wished I had someone next to me saying when I had enough of everything.

[@CarlMazur]

Thanks Michelle. Yeah, it's a bit nerve racking at first but this style of painting is really fun once you get the hang of it. So many options out there now. I am still working on some of the basics. There's some out there that are too detailed for my personal liking but that's okay

[@erikasturquoisefeather4721]

Agree! It's scary!

BEST tutorial I’ve watched. Thank you

[@LynnChilders]

Finally a video showing how to mix paints for a pour!! Thank you!! Never heard of floetrol now I know why my paint was too thick!

[@sherrystrack1130]

Carl, This is the BEST tutorial I have seen for pouring, and I it's great that you take the time to answer people's questions. I wanted to see if my Granddaughter and her friends would like to do this for her 14th birthday activity, but couldn't find a tutorial that I thought would work for them ~ now I have. Your video just might get a few young people interested in painting! Thank you so much!

[@CarlMazur]

Now that REALLY makes my day! Inspiration to the young ones. I have lots of young viewers and they love to paint.

[@Alishabaldock]

Thank you, I have watched dozens of videos and this is the first one to actually show not only what I need, but how to mix it all.

[@tladrt48]

Overall the best “beginner” video I have seen. The other comments help. I am spending a lot of time watching videos before I pour. I have all the paint, additives, canvasses, etc. Thank you!

Making a beginner do it is a great idea. Watching a video is never enough but watching a noob suffer the same frustrations actually helps lol.

Great video for someone new to this. I would have liked more explanation - like what is the purpose for the glue, why will some paint chunk, what the heat gun dies, etc. There's plenty of time while watching her mix and play with paint to add a bit more commentary.

I really liked this tutorial because the minor mistakes were not edited out. We learn by doing, after all. That said, some of the best outcomes result from "minor mistakes." I've done a few dirty pours on round canvases and they ended up lovely yet kind of planetary. That is because I used too much silicone. The shape of the canvas made a difference in my case.

I was taught with giant sized push pins, maybe 1.5 -2" (4-5 cm)? Who knew the little ones would do! In the creators defense, her canvas was quite large, using two extra along the long sides. Thanks for sharing your tut! I'm not a huge fan of blue, but converting my RV into a tiny home the fabric the factory used has navy blue in it. I added turquoise to the navy with towels and pot holders in the kitchen area, and now I find this paint tut, with my color scheme! Love when things fall into place and seem to meant to be. I've purchased supplies for making some canvas, but not taken the leap of faith into the actual work! Chickennnnn chicken!

Try mixing the silver with the Floetrol before adding the glue. There may be something in the silver paint thats polymerizing the pva in the mix causing it to clump up like eggs in hot water. Once whatever is causing that to gum up is diluted in the Floetrol you may be able to introduce the pva without it seizing.

[@CarlMazur]
