Gorgon's Grotto 🔱 MASSIVE 48x60 canvas! Multiple StraightPours in only 4 colors! Amazing cells!

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Hello Beautiful People! I watched this video again yesterday and I wanted to apologize for the audio, there are a lot of noises and sounds that dont belong. In the last 6 weeks we have learned so much and invested in better audio equipment and my newer videos are much better in terms of what you hear. We are definitely a work in progress! I was thinking of doing this pour again and filming it.. what do you guys think? Would you watch to see if I could do it again? (Now that I dont have a cold lol) Let me know what you think 🥰

[@jenniferk7483]

Mina, what you’ve been doing is good... no body is perfect, you learn as you go... right??

[@bailey12252]

Gorgeous piece. Can’t wait to see your next video!

[@sminstudios]

I read your apology before watching, and was wondering how bad it was going to sound. Sure there are five big sniffles that I’d have ‘ducked out’ in the audio track. But on the other hand, we can *hear* how heavy the paint gets on such a big canvas. Someone else has the painting now, but I heard the artist’s energy giving life to the piece. Keeper! ...And this sound engineer is a subscriber after one vid. Be Seeing You!

[@MinaVillegasArt]

@@sminstudios thank you so much! I appreciate your input, and your comment. Thanks for watching and hanging out with me 🥰

[@Tomes23]

Apologies not necessary. Beautiful art!

[@HeatherMaderArt]

Wow!!!!! I'm blown away by this. This is truly something special, and not many artists have the space or strength to work on such a luxuriously large canvas, so it was a treat to watch!!! I loved all the different camera angles and the editing was seamless to the viewer - which I KNOW was a ton of work! It was beautiful to see you in camera pretty lady. ❤️ Your personality shines through on screen and in your work. You are a bright and shining star and you are going to SOAR!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@MinaVillegasArt]

My sweet friend.. thank you so much! 🥰 thanks for being part of my journey, I can't tell you how much your encouragement and support mean.. you're amazing Heather! ❤❤❤

[@monarosaart]

I love to see this love & appraise between 2 artists: Mina & Heather : you're top 🔝❤️

i was raised to never cry. But, if i could, tears would come from this painting. It is incredible....

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Thank you so much Bruce! Wow ☺

[@lizreynolds4554]

Mina, I was flabbergasted by the size of this piece. You are so strong, that had to weigh a great amount. It is splendid. You should be so happy and proud. This was a good time to watch. I found myself tipping my screen with you. I tried to help. Just awesome and amazing. Blessings, Liz 👩‍🎨💗🎨🍀🦓🎶🇺🇸

[@angelawhite9505]

How have I not found your videos before?!?!?!? This is amazing and one of my favorite painting I have seen so far. This has inspired me to now be scared and just create......love the colors and your bubbly personality. Thanks for sharing.

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Thank you so much Angela! I'm so glad you are enjoying the video! (I just started this channel on June 20 😁 )

[@alexandriamonk2345]

I just watched this again since the first time I watched it. I still absolutely love this painting ❤. This is the video that got me to go to Michael's for the first time and start my fluid art journey 😊 thank you for inspiring me. Three years later I have finally excepted that art is the only thing I want to do with my life! ❤

[@MinaVillegasArt]

❤️❤️❤️

[@patriciamedaris8552]

Absolutely stunning! Color choices are great and there is excellent flow/movement to the piece. You definately have what I call "the wow factor" with your art. Thank you for sharing your art with us!

This reminds me of the springs I go swimming in here in Florida. I loved every moment of this pour. Love your laughter. What a beautiful creation . Thank you for sharing

[@reneecoulthard338]

This piece is not only massive, but it delicious, stupendous and intense! LOVE IT

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Thank you Renee! ❤

[@SarahMackArt]

Omg Mina!! I freaking love this! I can’t wait to pour on my large canvas...I’ve been afraid of it but I think you gave me courage lol...although I have no way of getting it back into the house after I would pour it outside lmao

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Thank you so much Sarah!! I'm so glad you like it! I think you will like pouring on the big ones, go for it!! I cant wait to see! 🥰❤

[@SarahMackArt]

Yes once I get my tent up I will! I do prefer to pour on the larger sized canvases... I have a 3x4 just staring at me lol not enough room to really tilt it between the chandelier and dining room table 😂🤣 so I’m gonna do it soon! My studio isn’t ready yet 😢

[@MinaVillegasArt]

I totally hear you! I did one other canvas a bit smaller than this but I didn't really leave myself room for the paint to run off and be able to walk around it. Stepping in that paint broke my concentration and I ended up mixing and pouring a whole new batch of paint to fix it. Plan ahead! And stretch it out a lot lol! Yours is going to be amazing ❤

[@SarahMackArt]

Wish we lived closer! Lol you are one hot ticket! You seem very fun and free spirited! We could pour for hours lol

[@susiecraddock3147]

Wow this is something really special! Could stare at it all day and then some! 😍😍😍

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Thank you so much Susie ☺

[@valerieneal2747]

Stunningly beautiful...I love how this turned out. I love the Artist's Loft Level 2 and 3 canvasses. Whenever Michaels has a " but 1 get 2 free" sale...I definitely stock up. This reminds me of an ocean I'd love to inhabit 😆🌿🌹🌿🌻🌿🌷

[@kristinxox]

Ok I know this is an old video but I am OBSESSED!!!!!!!!!! With this painting mama!!!!! I love how big it is, I love the colors you used, I am in love with the gold and the reactions and just how dramatic it is but yet soft and almost northern lights-ish. It’s just stunning! There isn’t one part of this that I don’t love 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Thank you so much Kristin! ❤

[@itsmejade3920]

This is amazing, I loved watching you pour it, also love your laugh, adorable, your bubblyness made watching even more enjoyable. I absolutely love it, turned out fab!

You need to rest after this master piece.Love it.💕💕

[@fvjunkie]

An idea instead of push pins, try large metal hooks. The 10 hacks for pouring video, she also uses the hooks to level the painting, by twisting in or out screws. Love the painting 💕

[@ronniegriffon7951]

WOWZA WOWZA WOWZA💚💙💚 I’m in love 💙💚💙 THANK YOU 💕🙋🏻‍♀️

[@Lilith701]

I am so amazed by the beauty of your pours. But I have to ask since you work outside how do you keep things from blowing into your art? I couldn’t even imagine working outside there would be stuff in my paint within seconds. Pollen, twigs, leaves it would be a disaster. Also do you live in California or Florida? Because your weather is so beautiful! I’m asking because I’m wondering what do you do in the winter? It’s my dream to paint outside, but I don’t know how I would manage it with all the heat, humidity, and inchworms! Lol ❤️ from Long Island, NY

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Hi Marcy! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I am in Southern California, we are very blessed with good weather, it has just decided to be summer a couple of weeks ago here.. before that it was actually cool and cloudy for a couple of months (which was actually very easy to paint outside in).. the direct sun recently has taught me to have everything ready to go because it won't wait, it will start to dry on the edges very fast. The wind and I have made friends 😂 I'm convinced she wants to pour paint, she always starts blowing fiercely when I pick up my cup haha.. not much detritus flies into the paintings, but I do get moths that land in them in the middle of the night sometimes. I think they don't really like the smell of the paint maybe? I do bring anything that I paint inside to dry, I do not leave them outdoors to dry. I have a TuffShed in my garden, that is where I mix and have my supplies and leave things to dry. Then I usually bring them up to the house once they are dry (my daughters call that room the Art Gallery hahaha). I hope you have a lovely day ❤😉🔱💫

[@cindyknox4226]

Reminds me of pictures from space looking down at the Earth. Beautiful

[@joanbentivegna6413]

Holy moly that's gorgeous!!!! Very impressive! Commission piece? How do you know what to price your work at? Absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@MinaVillegasArt]

Hi Joan! Thank you so much! This was not a commission, I had seen this size canvas at the art supply store, and really wanted it but didn't like the price very much.. then they had a 70% off sale and I went and got it 😂 I was floating on cloud 9, so I was really happy to pour it. I'm very happy it came out the way it did. Lots of great moments with this piece for me, how things lined up and worked. There are charts that give you an idea per inch what to charge.. take into account your time thinking about it plus materials plus pouring medium and test pieces.. I hope that helps. Have a wonderful day! 🥰

[@kaleidostonecoastal]

Joan Bentivegna here is a great article about pricing I enjoyed and that’s super encouraging ☺️ www.theartleague.org/blog/2016/05/20/price-artwork-beginners-guide/ Absolutely breathtaking creation, Mina!! ♥️ you’re a joy to watch!

[@jmcali]

Since I just discovered KZbin about six weeks ago, I'm just discovering your channel, and paint pouring as well. So far I'm intrigued with your work and your understanding of how the paint is going to react. I also admire your bravery in attacking canvases this large. I've been working this size for several years, but not with pouring, what you're doing is every so much more admirable. This painting is fantastic, watching it develop was great, wishing your to tip it this way or that and not always getting my wish, was quite frustrating, and when I was yelling for you to stop and you just had to tweak it a little more, I almost pulled my hair out, but I forwent that little exercise. Suffice to say you did the right thing, and I forgive you for the scare you gave me. Sorry for the long diatribe but that's just me. Keep it up, you are entertaining, informative, creative and very talented. I'll keep watching.

Mina, I am so inspired by your creative freedom while challenging yourself to go a step farther in your fluid artwork. I also love the fact that your husband is so supportive of what you're doing and helping you with camera work, etc. The environment in which you pour is so beautiful... bringing in the element of the wind is so cool as it really does help to pop bubbles! I look for something new by you every day.... awesome work.

Thank you so much Miriam! I have the best husband ever, we call him HoA, the Husband of Awesomeness lol 🥰 this is really fun for us to do together.. we just moved to this house a couple of months ago, it's so beautiful outside that I'm always out there haha..

[@leggy1957]

You had the face of a lion in the middle of your last creation on this painting at 16 minutes and 19 seconds it kind of distorted a little after that but it was so cool. I’m looking at a sideways so maybe it didn’t look like anything to you! I thought it was cool! many times I’ll see faces or angels or something in your paintings. Sometimes they stay sometimes they go just like the pain. Much love to you for the shows that you create the painting to create. I’m going to be getting back into painting just for fun, but I have a lot of paints and canvases galore my daughter was trying to keep me happy so she would buy me more stuff and I was already buying enough, but it’ll be nice to get back to it.
