Most complete and concise paint pour video I have ever seen!!!!!! Thank you ☺️

[@dcaloger]

Meta, I thank you sooo, very much for this tutorial. You have no idea, how many canvases I have wasted trying to do pearls. You are so clear in your teaching. I have all of the ingredients ( and more! ) trying to get pearls right. I am thanking you from the bottom of my heart. You’re a great teacher and a great artist It’s hard to find anyone so clear. Please keep teaching!! Thanks again 😊 Diane

[@deniseparry5507]

Thank you thank you thank you. I have been trying for over a year to achieve a Pearl Pour without success until now! Your video and clear instructions helped me to finally achieve it 😊

[@lindaames4126]

finally, possibilies ahead. thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@derricksazrc3411]

Your tutorial on mixing and measuring is so valuable. These steps are truly what make or break the beginning of the confidence to jump into the adventure that is Expression through creation. And failing those first steps will shut you down so quick. I hear the Love in your Voice Meta every time you give away your Amazing Creative Energy. Thank You Beautiful

[@MetaPours]

Thanks so much Derrick! Teaching is definitely my passion! And I love the feeling when other's share what they made after being inspired by, or trying the recipe of one of my videos.

[@consueloyoung4484]

I have not been inspired in fluid art in a very long time, you might say, I got bored with the same ‘ol thing!!. How I bumped into you?, it’s like you knowing how much water you have used, I don’t know…but I’m glad I did. Pearl pouring has been a mystery to me until now!!!. What was I thinking?!?! 😵‍💫

[@maryvariola]

Now this is what i like. Easy instructions something i understand better. In ounces not gram . Thank you 😊

[@miniscenesgb]

I had no idea watching someone mix paint was so therapeutic! Thanks for this video. I've not tried pouring yet, so this was really helpful

[@MetaPours]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@lakotaluv]

Thanks! I am brand new at this and haven't even done my first piece yet. I've been stockpiling for my guest bathroom/studio😂 for about 3 months now and I don't really know where to start, but after watching this, I think I will start here. I really appreciate all the work you went to to show us how to do this properly and your generous spirit to share your hard-earned knowledge with us.

[@MetaPours]

Thank you so much!

Not sure how I missed this video 10 months ago but it is totally my type of video. Well done!

[@robynlucier7111]

I have been struggling with the pearl pour. My greatest take-away from this video is to add the water a little at a time. I think I have been adding too much at a time, and not enough water overall. Can't wait to give this another try!

[@dcrank0607]

I am so glad to have someone real down the steps to this technique. I have primarily been painting and doing realistic photography. It has been challenging trying to perfect this technique. For me, it is more difficult than it appears.Thank you again for breaking it down.

[@theresafelix9382]

Best tutorial on pearls!! Thank you! Now for part 2!!!

[@sarahthompson529]

Stumbled across this video while looking for how to pearlize paint for something completely unrelated. And oh my goodness! This is SO COOL! I’ve never done a pour painting but after watching this I want to quit my job and just create & sell paintings like this! I’m sure there is a long learning curve and you have to have the talented artist’s touch, but wow I love this! Thanks for sharing!

[@MetaPours]

Be careful! That sounds a lot like me the first time I stumbled across a pouring video. It can be addicting! There is a learning curve as there is with anything. But I highly recommend trying it out!

[@armandorodriguez8249]

Graciasssss al fin encontre de forma clara y honesta la receta,Graciasssss por compartir Bendiciones

[@lallistarr995]

This is a really great video. As a long time artist who started doing acrylic flow painting by watching videos, the great pearls were a mystery until now! By the way light body paints are thicker than regular acrylics. Heavy body are even thicker until you get to a paste consistency! That's all there is to the explanation but choosing the right one for what you are doing is the real trick! Thanks for the lovely show!

[@MetaPours]

Thanks so much Lalli, I'm so glad the video helped you! And thank you for the tip!

[@animaljammerrares6301]

The liquitex after 2019 the mixture caused a whole bunch of cells some of the liquid pores were overwhelmed with sales so a lot of artists quit using it past 2019 unless of course you want a lot of sales and then go for it you know what I'm saying anyway it's the first time I'm watching you and I really like your attention to detail and stuff and so I will continue watching

[@margaritaphobe]

I see that I just missed a fantastic Meta Pours tutorial 😕 I will be trying your Pearl pour recipe. It looks like it works perfectly. That half a teaspoon at a time will be hard for me. Patience isn't one of my virtues. Although my friends would disagree. This painting is spectacular. Just like the last one. Now I know what you've been up to.❤

I add probably close to an ounce of water at a time and it works fine for me. I do start with paint, add the lqtx and stir, then half floetrol stir, other half stir. I also use behr deep base clear satin enamels for half of DA white satin enamels. Funny how we can use exact recipe and not get results or use different recipe and get the results. So many different factors contribute to individual results. Thanks Meta. I’ll try your recipe just for fun. I’m sure my results will be great 💓

[@MetaPours]

And I'm thinking of trying out Behr in my recipe! (I know lots of people swear by it) It's just a matter of getting my hands on some. lol

Dang! - I have never heard of acrylic paint pouring, and if I had I would have had no idea how much there is to it. Pretty cool. I'd hang something like that in my Japanese apartment, if I could put a nail in the wall... but I can't :(

[@MetaPours]

I discovered paint pouring during the pandemic lockdown, and I quickly became obsessed. It's like anything else in life I suppose. You can swim upon the surface, and enjoy the water, or you can dive down deep and explore the depths. There's a ton of different techniques and styles etc. But This one has captured my focus for the last few months. As far as hanging things on walls with no nails... Do they not have command strips in Japan? lol

Hi Meta, This video was very helpful for mixing the base coat for a pearl pour. I would like to see how you mix your paints…what ratios you use and what products…1 part paint to 1 part Floetrol and a squirt of Liquitex pm and water? Is is the same consistency as the base coat?

I think everything that people use is subject to how they use it and their paint consistencies and everything else so I would say use whatever you want it works

[@MetaPours]

I think that's good advice.

[@vickiemalone8100]

Hi Meta, love your work! Are your other paints the same consistency as the pearl recipe , or a little bit heavier? I’ve tried other artist’s recipes but can’t seem to get the desired effect.

[@ladycropper69]

Amazing! What makes the pearl design vs other types of cells? Is it adding more liquitex, water mixed thinner vs less liquitex, water making other cells?

I am wondering if you mix your gold and black to the same consistency? It’s beautiful 😊❣️

[@enchante11]

Hi Meta! What an excellent video! I tried this technique today and found that my initial coat of white, which I stretch as much as possible, flows over the subsequent colors when I put down. I tried several other pieces making the white basecoat thinner, and then thicker, but I continue to have the same problem. I have done the test to make sure that all paints are the same consistency. The longer the painting sits, the more the white runs over the colors, making them milky and diluted. Do you have any idea what I’m doing wrong? thank you so much for your help!

[@traceykellogg2046]

Super. Thanks! Any reason to not to start adding with 4-5 tsp water at the beginning and then 1/2 tsp at a time? Mixes better?

[@kathyelmore6783]

Meta the colors added to the whites do they have satin enamel and are they thicker than the white or the same consistency?

[@tinalaselva3972]

[@MetaPours]

[@ilanamayerson6139]

Thank you so much for your presentation of Pearl Mix!!!!! You explain so clearly and like you I do believe in the scale. I'm a beginer and maybe somtime running too fast to the litle know ledge I have. I wanted to try pearls but didn't understand most recipes. I do have a question - when doing a dark background pearl you stil use the white DecoArt satin Enamel? or you use a color to go with the background you chose? I do hope the you read from old videos that you showed. Thank you so much !!!!!💜

[@MetaPours]

Hi Ilana! Thank you so much for the super nice comment! To try and answer your question, I haven't tried a super dark background or pearling base yet, but I have used blue a few times, and when I do I use the satin enamel blue I mix it with artist loft white, which really softens up the blue. But if I wanted to go super dark I think I would use a different color of artist loft, like black. Or maybe blue depending.

[@lindaroberts6469]

Are you using this to mix in your other paints or is it used for only your base? I'm 70 years old and never painted so it's all new to me..thanks
