Acrylic pour finish with NO BRUSH MARKS! - Easy acrylic pour varnish method

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

As a follow up to this video I show you how to apply this same method to a much larger canvas 24" X 36" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXm6omOHm9RmmMk

[@ayeshaalhashmi1012]

I have tried this technique. Such an amazing approach, but one problem. The t-shirt's small thin cotton strips/dust always get stuck on my canvas. If the canvas has white paint on it, it shows more, reducing the quality of the painting :(. Do you have any solutions regarding this issue?

[@onpointsporthorses141]

LOVE IT! Thank you for sharing this with the world. I've been struggling with the "Don't thin" and brush strokes. Liquitex is my favorite for everything: mixed media, texture, colored pencil on paper, and 3D models. They have really improved over the years so it's worth the extra money IMO. Edit add: And the brush hairs! There's always 1 somewhere! No more hairs with this. Even good brushes will drop a hair during varnish.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You are so welcome!

[@alaneaston9279]

After watching different artist I decided I like your method best and it worked great with no brush marks! I enjoy all your videos as you explain things in a very understandable way. Thank You.

[@ManionaBudget]

I just wanted to stop by and drop a huge THANK YOU, David!! Since watching this video I have successfully varnished at least a dozen paintings in the time it normally would take me to do two--simply because I dreaded the varnishing step! It was always so time consuming and messy, but this technique has saved my rump. It's faster, cleaner, I don't get brush strokes or weird bumps or divets, and it saves so much varnish! This has been a total game-changer for me, and I am very grateful to you for posting this video. Thanks so much!!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

That is excellent to hear Raven. That was my experience also. Not sure why other artist's aren't using this method at this point.

[@HeyRaeSunnyDay]

EXACTLY Raven! I have been dreading varnishing, but today I'm going for it using LBA's easy technique.

[@juliemora2075]

Yup.... You have changed my ENTIRE outlook and method!! I have so many pieces I've been dreading to varnish due to a bit of PTSVS ( post-traumatic stress varnishing syndrome ) from ruined pieces in the past. I'm fairly certain I won't make this look as easy as you have...but I am confident that I will succeed with your method 😊. I’m still a bit nervous to approach my larger canvases, to be honest. I'm assuming that if I use the same method on a larger scale, I will prevail!! Thanks so much! Your videos have been game-changers for me! 😄😘

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

PTSVS!?! LOVE IT! I hope you don't mind if I steal that one Julie? For larger canvas just do a small section. 8X8 or something. Vary which direction you choose the section and the circular direction you apply the varnish on each layer. You'll master it in no time!

[@MrDuncan526]

I Love your videos!!!!!! I gave up on All liquid varnishes, but no one has ever said you could add water and apply it like you did... I have a few different brands of spray varnishes, Winsor Newton's pro gloss varnish, krylon triple thick glaze, another krylon. A few rustoliums, Well, last week I found polyacrylic clear gloss spray varnish. I Fell madly in love with it.. Usually 1 coat is all I need... I've watched videos after videos, they had to put so many coats on to get the lines "out" . Noooo. you still saw them. I subscribed to so many channels. I love my little pouring family. One I watch always used liquitex gloss varnish, with a Good foam brush. Looked great at a far. But when , he or she would show it in the light, they'd get all excited by the cells and glimmer, all I saw were lines. Because I didn't know better I followed the rules, bought the foam brush, then later on I bought a expensive brush For varnishing . Btw, that worked better than the foam. I figured that was the look... Then I tried the sprays. Luckily I still sucked at pouring ended up throwing 5, 6 or 7 away. I checked out their website, dude they had one priced at $150 it was a little level 1 8x10, you could see the criss cross lines plain as day. Just like the ones in my trashcan. Lol. Now they only use resin. BEAUTIFUL peices.. Poor folk can't afford that. Btw lol. I went back to the site, thought I'd like to buy one of their peices. $700 bucks 14x14.. That's more than my house payment.. I pour nearly every day. I have a ton varnished, wrapped and boxed up. I donate to nursing homes, shelters, Harbor House, ( a thrift store) it may have cost me $15 and up to make it, if ppl down on there luck can get it for $4 or whatever price they put on it and it makes their home look nice, it makes me happy. Even though I have no clue who bought it.. If they are gone the next time I go in, I get a gitty feeling that a pc of me is in their home. Oh sheesh, look at me writing a novel at 4am. Anyway. Thanks for the tip..

I was so careful to do 3 coats, all brushed in alternating directions between coats and I still see a LOT of brush marks. Your method looks really smooth! 😃

If the brush marks are deep you will only dampen them and not remove them all together. I know this from unfortunate experience. Too much varnish makes the top coat look like plastic which you don't want either so it will be a delicate balance.

Windex -- anywhere near any art gives me the shivers. But it got me to thinking if not Windex, then what? My paintings would probably get a cloth saturated to a fairly dry state with spray furniture polish. The propellant bothers me though on our fragile acrylic substrates. Even that does not releave my jitters about this. Wonder what museums use? And what acrylic paint manufacturers' customer service at Golden, and Liquitex suggest? They're probably developing a formulary for just this application as we speak. But in the meantime ....

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Water will do if there is no silicone oil and it hasn't been stored for a while. However, with silicone you need something to break it down or it will cause your finish/varnish/resin to not stick to the surface.
