It's Mid-June 2023 and I have just watched this (now) 2 year old video. I have enjoyed very many videos of yours and am subscribed. In my opinion, this is one of your best and most informative offerings to date. We have completely opposite taste in visual appeal and organized precision, yet, I greatly appreciate your explanations of hydrodynamic and chemical reactions. The information you present is clear and precise and allows me (a non-traditional, non-directional thinker) to delve further into my "what if" travels with a better feel for potential results. It is probably difficult to believe, but, you are as good as your excellent reviews.

Thank you so much for bringing some science to pour painting! I have been doing this for 3 years, after watching mostly videos by a wealthy Australian lady who uses giant cups of artist-quality paints, which I can't afford. Her paintings are gorgeous, but not very helpful, because I don't think she really understands the physics and chemistry behind the process. After watching you, my paintings have improved considerably, because you not only show "how", but you also explain "why".

When I was studying art (back in the dark ages) I was constantly frustrated by my attempts to pour, spatter, throw, etc. paint. Recently enamored by the new poured art works I have been trying to wade thru the ocean of information on the internet and have been elven more frustrated by the myriad of advice on techniques, products, etc. You give great information, use simple and easy to find and prepare products. Thanks for keeping it simple!!

When I do a flipcup, I usually put a small hole in the bottom of the cup. Use a needle/tack. This will allow the heavier paints to settle at the bottom (and th lighter paint to rise). If you use something to catch the last drips it will give a cleaner result (for people who don't want a ribbon or weird blob at the end) Big thanks for another informative video!!! P.S. If you don't want to waste the cup, use some sticky tape to cover the hole.

Thanks for that tip. I also never thought about the silicone rising before, so that will make a difference in how I layer my paint. I'm going to run off and paint now. You're the best!

Thank you SO much! You not only explained the approach of the flip cup perfectly, but thanks to you I have finally understood how to get these big beautiful cells - I have only ever managed to get a few tiny ones, and never thought about varying the colour thickness - in retrospect, using thin paint here is logical, to make the silicone oil rise more easily, but I had learned pouring needed a certain (thicker) consistency from videos about an entirely different technique and never thought to stray from that recipe for other methods :D Your technique works wonderfully, I tried it out today and am super happy with the results :)

I really love the balloon smash one. They always make me think of jellyfish, and the ribbons added to that! I'm not sure if it would be something others would be interested in, but I'd love a video that teaches how to mix colors to get a color you are looking for (not them mixing on the canvas, but mixing them pre-pour to get the color you're looking for). I get the basics, but sometimes I just can't even get close to the color I'm wanting. I have no idea what color(s) I'm missing to make it look how I want, and sometimes I waste tons of paint trying to figure it out. Is there some tried and true method to making colors? When I do it it I'm reminded of when my dad tried to teach me to cook things when I was younger, and he would tell me to "add a pinch" of something. This would lead to me arguing that his pinch and my pinch are different sizes....so why couldn't he just give me an exact measurement? He would try to explain cooking is an art. *sighs* My brain just wants exact measurements. LOL! In the same sense, I would love a more left-brained approach to mixing colors to make new ones (if there is a left-brained approach to this). Also in making new colors, do I need to worry about whether a paint is transparent/semi/opaque? Thank you for always explaining things so well, and in a way that makes so much more sense to those of us that are also left-brained artists!!!!

He has some great color mixing videos for traditional acrylic artist's which I think have been very helpful. I agree on the "pinch" thing. I always wanted to know 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tbsp, etc.

Greatly appreciate you sharing all the advice and your invaluable knowledge with us, it really helps in making this kind of art less scary to try. Thankyou. :) And yes, i cut them open and scrap every last bit of paint out. Maybe i am weird, but i totally loved the one you were not happy with and said was not every pour can be perfect, i liked the other with silicone but not as much.

Art = science or science = art? Either way your videos are helping me so much. I am learning to understand where I went wrong on some of my duds. Thank you so much for what you. Like both of these paintings. I have found the balloon to be a real savior and it’s become my favorite tool.

@@LeftBrainedArtist the first third is the back portion and easily accessible to a wooden stirrer. The 2 nd third is a little larger and doubly accessible...but the small leftover third has that nubbin that holds a pea sized amount that you can never get to if you’re doing halfies and that amount can easily be used to accent one more painting. Gotta get what you paid for when you can! ❤️🌷

I like to talk through what I am thinking. Hopefully it makes people recognize that they aren't the only ones hart on their own art. For this little thing say $25 shipped? I won't be able to put a varnish on it for a week or two. If you send me an email from the contact form on the my website leftbrainedartist.com I'll let you know how it looks with the varnish. You can decide then if you still want it.
