[@peggyburt6861]

Good to know! 👍🏻

[@tracysavage599]

Two questions for you would enamels work ? Also when your artwork is dry do you put a clear gloss over it or just leave it as is ? Thanks 😊

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

@@tracysavage599 I always put a varnish on to give it some shine and to add dust and UV protection. Some enamels work you have to test with your paints and mediums.

[@justaddlivingwater]

❤❤😮 Thank Yoou!! I've been searching you are right there's only one other acrylic fluid Artist that sorta teaches you, but it doesn't break it down, Ive gotten many ideas from Fluid Acrilic Pours for my Organic Soap Making, however I do not have the money for floetrol and all that other stuff so trying to make something very special for my mom. She just had a baseball-sized tumor removed and it was diagnosed with 4th stage lung cancer and I want to have it done by the time she gets back from her Radiation Treatment, and all my $ goes towards medical expenses for her..However I know everyone feels the pinch these days..I Just wanna do a Good Job..I have my Canvas, my acrylics, but no pouring Mediums or Laquer..So, Ty❤❤

[@suzannerenay8910]

Here’s a tip that works great for me and maybe for others as well. I keep a few large cups on my table. One for pink/purple, one for blue/green, one for gray/black…you get the idea. Then when I scrape my canvas or table top, or even the last drops in my mixing cups, I put that into my large cups. You’d be surprised at the beautiful colors! Now I always have “free” paint for my base coats and flow extenders. Have also used them to fix sides of the canvas. No waste!!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Ooh, great idea. How long do they last? Do you keep track of which have silicone?

[@suzannerenay8910]

They last a long time. Months. I cover them with plastic wrap secured with a rubber band. I don’t use silicone and all are mixed with floetrol and some have a bit of liquitex pm as well. Some are metallic and some regular acrylic. Always the cups turn into a pretty metallic color. Funny that I’ve been doing this for a long time and have never turned my cup to mud! Sometimes I’ll pour a little into a small cup and use it in a pour.

I just poured the paint, swished it around a bit, threw in a couple of wavy lines, swished it around again, then once I set them down, splattered a bit of rubbing alcohol here and there.

But I saw this today, and you convinced me today was the day. I did my first pour, and while I'm not unhappy with the results, I learned a ton with my first attempt! I My paint was a little too thick, and I think I'll try a bit more silicon oil and pay a bit more attention to using stronger contrast with the colors I use. Bottom line though is I really enjoyed the process, and I want to try it again, which I believe was the point of the video! Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks Hawk. Sorry I didn't get to it earlier but hopefully it will help some others. A little of that painting shows through now that the pour is dried. Kind of a cool effect actually. Might have to try that as a pour technique some day.

[@dashingshadowbolt6209]

Thanks! I've been painting for a while, but I still learned some great stuff from this. I can't pour today, because my cat will complain. 😆 During lockdown he has become accustomed to have constant access to my lap. Since I paint with a large plastic tub on my sofa (what could go wrong with that) he's decided that the best option is to stare at me with big eyes until the guilt becomes to much and I have to stop painting. So, I paint every other day, to keep the peace. I did paint yesterday and you are totally right, you just have to jump in and see what happens. One of my favourites is actually one I did really early, but every pour is a learning experience, even if I end my session scraping all the paint back off the canvases. And my painting journal is my go to guide for experiments, tracking what worked and what didn't etc.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Excellent news. Does your cat "paint" too? The cat I used to have wouldn't stay away and want to paw everything and make a mess.

[@dashingshadowbolt6209]

@@LeftBrainedArtist He has a huge fluffy tail that will get into things from unfathomable distances and occasionally gets in it. His thing is glitter. He loves the stuff. He always has to have some on when I have it out, and I buy my glitter by the kilo, so it's fairly often. The thing is, he's been used to me crafting from when he was young. I sit on the couch with my legs crossed up and he lies on one side and I twist and craft on the other. He could sit on my lap, but I wouldn't be giving him 101% of my attention. He is very entitled and pandered to, hence every other day is a Corvinus Day. I used to have one that would manage to walk through any kind of paint anywhere you put it and looked away for a few moments. We still have a line of white paw prints leading from the cat flap and down the front path. She also tried to stick her head in a bowl of hair dye once, but he managed to stop her, but she did have a pink flash for a bit.

I'm an artist (BFA Ohio University) but a real rookie on this amazing genre. I'm retired and my wife and I do craft shows. I can't wait to create some beautiful pieces. I love your educational tutorials. I hated the videos that showed techniques to music with NO "teacher" talking; the "instructor" never explains the process as they progress through the piece. "Clever" text inserts to explain the process doesn't cut it. I hope these artists would never use this style for children; young adults, (or even newbies) trying learn anything using virtual education.

Was watching one of your videos last night in bed on a good pour ratio. It was like 11:30 at night. I got out of bed got all my supplies together and made the best acrylic pour I've ever done. Thank you for these videos.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

That is amazing to hear. So glad inspiration found you!

[@helliondmf4389]

I am excited to have found your video! I have a couple friends that have been doing this for a couple years, but they are not good teachers 😁 You make me feel I can actually do this 😀 Gonna give it a shot! I have a blacklight room I have been wanting to desperately make cool crap for .... And I believe you have given me the tools to do that! Thank you so much... Wish me luck 🤞

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Thank you so much. Glad to help and can't wait to see what you create.

[@jengentry06]

THANK YOU for this video! I've been just such a person, binge-watching other people's acrylic pours, but always wanting to try it for myself. We bought all the materials and then just didn't really know where to go from there. Your video was very instructive, especially about mixing the paints and helping viewers recognize the correct pouring consistencies. Our first pours may not have gone *exactly* how we wanted, but they still look pretty cool, and we have plenty of paint and canvases remaining to try again a few more times without more purchases.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You go Jenny. Isn't pouring so much fun? Just take your time, make small changes and keep track of what works and what doesn't and you'll be pouring masterpieces in no time. Also, love your failures. They make you better and should be celebrated too!

[@tinamariepanzera1330]

[@KingsMajorian04]

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You got this Kim. I hope he loves pouring as much as my 11 year old daughter does.

[@SuperZsanna]

Thank you, Sir Teacher! It came in handy for me now, because I started recently, and I did some bad ones. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

So glad to help Annabell. Good luck on your future pours.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You're very welcome Linda.

[@Rufus1531]

Thank you so much for this video, I have been procrastinating about this for literaly years! I have now finally done my first pour after watching your video! I love it!! So much fun! and i got some great results.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Awesome to hear my friend. Glad to help.

[@johannahunderwood4596]

That's a lovely tree ring pour! Subtle, soft colour and good definition.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Thanks so much Johannah. I love ma good treering. 😊

[@marisawhite5514]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for showing this stage of the process! I’ve been struggling with the measurements and this method makes it effortless!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You are so welcome Marissa. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions.

[@littlebettyscrafts556]

Thumbtacks for leveling !!! You teach me something new every day 😁 and I thought I was a good “rigger” but that’s super smart, adjust as you want. Easy Peasy Aaaand, as I like to say, “ There’s no bad pour, only the one you didn’t attempt. “ It’s sooooooo fun, ( not meant to cause concern and stress 😂 ) Everyone enjoy your pour !! Thanks again !!! ☮️💟&🦄’s

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You can try wall hooks too Julie. You can screw them in and out on the different sides to help level you if you something a little easier to handle.

[@littlebettyscrafts556]

@@LeftBrainedArtist Stoooooop !!! even better. Your too handy ! 😂😂 Thanks ☮️💟&🦄’s

[@ginaanderson5208]

Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to try this for a few years. I have finally done it and I love it.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Wonderful to hear Gina. I hope you love it as much as I do.

[@jokh9992]

10:58 to 12:04 .Thank you for showing how to test the consistency of the paint by making mound shapes and rings that disappear instantly. Very helpful

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Glad to help Jo Kh. Thanks for watching.

[@umarale]

All of us need that push most of the time. Thank you so much.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You are welcome Uma. Have you already started? If so, how is it going?

[@silverhoney6969]

I truly love and adore all of your videos! Although I have already tried paint pouring, it’s been a few months since my last one, and your comment the beginning of this video made me laugh out loud. I just bought everything to make my pouring tray, very inspired by that simple tip in your last couple videos I watched!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Thank you so much! You've got this!

[@dianeb9578]

You are a great teacher, I love the way you explain everything. I am doing my first pour today and hope it will go well

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Good luck! Let me know how it goes Diane.

[@joycethiery2488]

I'm with Consuelo. I've NEVER done this, so for me to watch this is heaven. I had ,NO idea on measuring or getting the right consistently. Thank you

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You can do it for sure Joyce. If this obstinate guy can figure out anyone can.

[@martinpook5707]

What you said at the begining made me laugh, absolutely spot on. I have tried, not very good, now I'll try again. Thank you.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You’ve got this Martin!

[@TheBevFinkler]

That was an amazing learning video and I can't wait to do this, thank you! It helped me immensely!!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You are so welcome Beverly. I hope you have as much fun as I do.

[@tinavanegeren2199]

Thank you! Love the way you explain EVERYTHING to where i totally could follow your just what i've been needing,now i'm going on line to order paints and glue etc. Thanks again♓😁

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You got this Tina. The fun is in the doing for sure. Plus you learn so much more.

[@beetongirl]

I haven’t done it yet and yes, been binge watching. 😂

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Let me know when you start and how it goes.

[@beetongirl]

I’ve order up everything. Should be here Monday. Can’t wait. Thanks for showing me how to do this!

[@ibrahimkombe5855]

The difference between you and other artists is , they don't show the preparations while you did show step by step. It actually came to my attention that the paints are mixed with glue and some water of which in so many videos that's not showed. I've learnt something

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

So glad to help you understand the process Ibrahim.

[@dawnhinton5402]

Thank you, this was so helpful in getting me prepared to start my paint pouring journey.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Awesome Dawn. You are going to love it!

[@HatFullOfData123]

Thank you for such clear explanation, training rather than performing

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Glad to help. Let me know if you have any more questions.

[@justincynor3169]

You're a great KZbin teacher!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Wow, thank you Jusin.

[@Mollys2020]

You are an awesome teacher & and a great artist. This is the first video I watched from you. Now going to watch all the videos by you. Thank you!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Wow, thank you Molly. Always glad to help!

[@SomeOne-zw6kh]

Soo excited to try this. Ive been thinking about looking into it, and finally started watching these today, and it looks soooo easy and fun. I have paint, canvases, and some random things around the house, so I'll need to maybe pick up a few things, but today's the day!!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Yes. Today is the day! You'll be glad you start. Pouring is so fun.

[@consueloyoung4484]

I am so happy to hear that the thinking part of pouring is over for you!. Let the fun begin. I started painting out of necessity, I needed something to spark my brain out of severe PTSD. I found Sarah Mack (love her). After watching for a couple of months, I again recognized the power of colors. The rest is history!.

[@joymorrison6614]

I've decided that you have to be an artist to do this. Not just anybody can do it. That anybody is me. All my colors run together and I end up with a poop brown canvas

[@eastsideterri25]

I like the way you show and explain things for my left brain

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Thanks so much. Glad to help.

[@NattysCrafts]

I know this video is old but had to say I just watched it and went off and created my first 2 pour paint pieces!! Thanks for this video!! ❤️❤️

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

YES!!!! This is amazing! So glad you started.

[@SS-7776]

I just did my first pour it was so fun and you said everything I needed nice and clear thanks a lot 🙏

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

My pleasure 😊

[@peggyburt6861]

Thanks again, David, for a very informative video. You're right, I've been binge watching and planning my first pour. 😄However, being a Texan, things have come to a screeching halt as far as the completion of my little art studio. Soooo.....hopefully next week, or at the most, two weeks! I watch with anticipation for your videos to come out. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge in such an easy-to-understand way!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Stay warm Peggy. That polar story is crazy town. Lets definitely get you started next week.

[@dianevaughn8072]

I appreciate how you show us ways to avoid wasting paint. THANK YOU!!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You are so welcome Diane.

[@florami284]

I feel so happy that I click into this video. Thank you much 😊

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

You’re welcome 😊 Have you started pouring yet?

[@florami284]

Yes today I am trying a simple pouring on a mini canvas 🥰 thank you!!!!!! 🌞
