I tried your funnel technique & it worked like a charm?!! It was such fun too, thanks for the inspiration!! Go well ❤❤

[@savtaesther2]

Thanks so much Gee!!! Just tell me what to put in the paint in order to acheive the cells!!❤

[@mirnadls6007]

👏👏👏👏👏👏fabulous video. Thank you so much

[@terrierwin4540]

I like your voice. Its very smooth. Almost soothing. It makes it easier to follow along when learning new techniques. To be honest, a lot of times I look up new tutorial videos because I am frustrated or stressed because my usual things aren't working. So hearing your voice calms me down.

[@GeePours]

Thanks Terri! I appreciate you saying that! I hope I can help you even a little on your art journey☺️

[@brifernandez8836]

Hi Gee! Thank you so much for your videos! I'm a newbie and your explanations are to the point and easy to follow. In this video, you listed your mix as 1 part paint, 2 parts Floetrol plus water. But in the previous paint mixing video with the drip test, you listed 1 part paint, 1 part Floetrol plus water. What was it that I missed?

[@GeePours]

In the previous video there were 3 recipes. A thin, a medium and a thick consistency. I used the medium

[@brifernandez8836]

@@GeePours thank you!

[@barbaraharrison8484]

I have just found your channel, have subscribed and very excited to learn as much as I can. I’m new to acrylic pouring so I’ll start at your first video if possible. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@GeePours]

Thank you so much! Theres a playlist on my page called How to Start Acrylic Pouring kzbin.info/aero/PLMp6KuP9NPoGKmIsr57x1lQVVT39jhlhr it rounds up the most important stuff into a 60-minute watch, and then the rest is more advanced stuff Happy Pouring Barbara! Let me know if you need help☺️

[@JamieMillen]

So can you use Medium thickness ( 1 second disappearance for the mound) and thick paint ( 2-3 disappearance for the mound ) for ring pours?

[@GeePours]

You can! the colors bleed more the thinner you go

[@holisoyloli]

Oh Gee, if I had seen these videos when I was starting...😊

[@sharonbacon7489]

On your flip cup, did you add silicone? It turned out beautiful. The ribbon pour was nice also. Have never seen that one. Thanks. Love the video

[@GeePours]

Thanks sharon! I did indeed add a drop of silicone in the green and blue. Give the ribbon pour a try! Its pretty interesting and almost hard to mess up

[@SDPattiJo]

I love watching your videos. How much liquid varnish to you leave on your paintings.

[@GeePours]

It depends entirely on the size of your painting- you need enough to evenly coat the canvas

[@SDPattiJo]

Love your videos. What type of varnish do you use?

[@GeePours]

Hello Patti! Im using an acrylic polymer varnish like polycrylic or liquitex - any water based varnish will theoretically work here, im just using whats available in Egypt

[@mikieholtz7973]

Also, what did you initially pour onto the tile before the actual pour? Is that the Behr 8300? It’s not mentioned. Thx.

[@GeePours]

Not Behr no - and btw Behr 8300 is never used by itself because its an untinted base paint. The white is just some of the white paint i mixed from earlier in the video. It helps whatever sits on top of it move easier across the tile/canvas

[@beejstube]

@@GeePours so the pillow paint is any regular white paint (1 part) mixed with varnish or floetro(2 parts)? then you add the color and water for the paint you are going to pour? also the base paint, is it a interior / exterior house paint? with or without primer? thank you so much

[@beejstube]

also which floetrol do you use? i am in the US , so I use the US type not the Australian

[@carlabarnes7089]

Hi Gee, thank you for your videos they are very informative and easy to understand. I would like to know what the white paint is that you put on the canvas before you did the tree ring and ribbon pours? Thank you again for all your help!

[@GeePours]

Hey Carla! Thank you for saying that :) So in techniques where you want your composition to "travel" on the canvas without warping too much, you use a base layer of the same consistency. This white paint is the same that I used in the cups

[@carlabarnes7089]

@@GeePours Oh I see. That makes total sense. I am so grateful that you and the rest of the artists in our group take the time to teach us newbies. Thanks again now I feel more confident doing my 2nd pour.😊

[@danielagrimm7701]

Hi Gee your tips are most helpful. I just have a question. I have done a number of flip cup pours, however when drying the pour starts to crack. I initially thought it was because it was drying too quickly because I am in very hot conditions but even doing it at night in room temperature the paint is still cracking. Do you have an idea why this is happening, your tips will be a great help. Thanks Daniela

[@GeePours]

This could be a number of things so Id need a little more information. What pouring medium are you using? Are you tilting your excess off? Did you use any silicone oil?

[@danielagrimm7701]

@@GeePours hi I am using the glue/water medium, I did use silicone oil and I did pour off excess. I used a slightly thicker consistency than too runny. I used an A4 canvas with 200g of paint.

[@danielagrimm7701]

Is there a way I can send you a picture

[@GeePours]

@@danielagrimm7701 so its mostly likely the pva glue being used and how much water was used to thin it. If its Elmer’s glue all, its probably the amount of water. If its another brand that I perhaps dont know, it could be that. PVA glue isnt really created equal. They come in varying quality and not all of them work well with pouring

[@danielagrimm7701]

@@GeePours thank you I shall try another brand and see what happens, appreciate your reply

[@JamieMillen]

You said that if the is thin it is good for dutch pours cloud pearl pours. Medium mounds 1 second disappears is good for straight, dirty swipe, open cup funnel chain kiss and puddle pours. What is dutch pour?

[@GeePours]

The dutch pour is the one where you move paint around with a hair dryer

[@momoncl]

Great video, thank you. I just have one question, do you have to prepare the tile before pouring on it? I tried to paint a tile with acrylic paint and it just peeled right off.

[@GeePours]

If you think about it, Acrylic paint can peel off most things that are not porous. Thats why tiles are great for practice because you can easily peel it off and try again. Ive been peeling and reusing the same 10 tiles for a year now😄

[@sheindyone]

Wait how did you create those cells on the last piece?

[@GeePours]

One drop of silicone in one of the colors and torching it (here Im using a lighter because my torch had run out of gas)

[@sheindyone]

@@GeePours thank you!

[@ghazalsigaroodi7001]

@@GeePours hi thanks for your nice teaching i love them but i have a problem i add selicon oil (some times more than one drop) but it dosent work i can’t make cell effect 😞😞😞i use pouring medium i think maybe my paint isn’t enough dilute would you please guid me?🙏🙏

[@GeePours]

@@ghazalsigaroodi7001 sure thing Ghazal - when working with silicone, you have to make sure that the color mingle in the cup or on the canvas. If the silicone colors dont cover anything or dont get covered by anything, nothing will happen. You will also probably need to use a torch to bring the cells to the surface if you’re not using floetrol. Making sure your consistency is right is important, but unless you’re really thick, you should still be getting cells. If they appear then get very wobbly, then you know you’re too thin

[@zyiasusie7937]

Why did you pour white paint first. That I have not seen. AND...confused about when to add the silcone. In the paint or over top when you finished?

[@GeePours]

Both work but yield different results with regards to silicone. The white paint that goes first serves to carry the colors on top without the colors buckling on themselves as you spread the paint around

[@zyiasusie7937]

@@GeePours thanks!! ...so many video I never saw anyone do that. pouring white first. ..what is the white..just like the white paint and medium - what is the thickness? the same 1 to 1?

[@GeePours]

@@zyiasusie7937 its the same as the colors used

[@zyiasusie7937]

@@GeePours thanks

[@mikieholtz7973]

Hi Gee. I don’t understand what you did as the last step on the flip cup. During the last step all the cells appeared. Thx

[@GeePours]

Hey Mickie - the very last step I used a small lighter, but i normally use a little kitchen torch, like the ones used to make creme brûlée’s, to speed up the process of the silicone oil drops rising to the surface. This will still happen without a torch, it just takes a little longer

[@felicitasspera1023]

What kind of varnish is the second one you put on. The color looks like havy cream.

[@GeePours]

Yeah our varnish in Egypt is quite thick and whiter than what you might have in Europe - Liquitex varnish is one of the best recommended gloss varnishes

[@felicitasspera1023]

@@GeePours thank you

[@lindawhite1515]

How do you know which paints are opaque? Is there a list?

[@GeePours]

Hey Linda! There’s usually a square label that indicates whether a paint is transparent, semi transparent, semi opaque, or opaque. I cant send you a photo in a youtube comment but i cover this topic with all the symbols and how to find out which it is if there’s no symbol in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn68p6B8admmf7s

[@GeePours]

Hey Muriel! Marble pours would be relatively thick - if you’ve seen my how to mix your paints video that came before this one, id use the second consistency after the pillow. The colors being bright could be neon paints, im speaking hypothetically here since I dont have a specific reference to look at

Hi, is the varnish an artist's varnish or a furniture( hardware) type of varnish? I am.in Sri Lanka and am interested in looking for alternative pouring mediums

[@GeePours]

This is an acrylic based varnish, in Egypt we use it to paint over latex wall paint to give it a glossy finish. You should look for a water-based varnish.
