Master the Scoop and Fold Technique: Fluid Art Tutorial

[@NateBrightArt]

Every time you say 'Scoop... and Fold!' reminds me of 'Bend... and Snap!' from Legally Blonde! LOL Great colors and fun technique. Love to see innovators work!

[@manolimotion]

LMAO! That is so funny cause I was thinking the exact same thing but wasn't sure how many people would get the reference.

Wow, this came out amazing. I will try this scoop and fold with proper credit to your channel. By the way, let me know what your spinner tells you when you have a talk. 😆😂 You are funny. Good humor.

[@manolimotion]

Haha! Thanks so much! I just subscribed to your channel as well, thanks for the support. My spinner told me to F-off but I think were good now :-)

[@BERNIEARTFLUIDE]

Nice 🎉 bonne idée 🎉

[@gailreid9157]

Hi I'm fairly new to your channel I have to say love your work this piece is awesome I love the green also. When you spoke about the weather well I live in Adelaide Sth Australia and it's Summer here and Mother Nature doesn't know what she's doing. Like you it's cold one day hot the next and so damm humid Keep up the great videos look forward to the next one 😃❤️

[@manolimotion]

Thank you so much Gail from Adelaide! :-) I actually have lots of family in Darwin that Ive never met. Hope to make it over there some day!

[@gailreid9157]

@@manolimotion I've never been to Darwin I'd love to go. I'm lucky to live in such a beautiful country you should definitely visit Darwin has similar weather to you. Again loving your work and commentary keep it up.

Wow 😮 that is beautyfull ❤❤

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much Ryan! :-)

[@sandysacrylicart6925]

I will have to say... that is the first time I've seen this method... Very nice! And please quit complaining about the Florida weather lol. I wish I was there... I miss Fl so much!!!

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much! Florida weather cant make up its mind. I complain more in July/August when its miserably hot and humid. But honestly, Ive never had to go through a winter up north, so until I do, I'll keep my mouth shut! :-)

[@sandysacrylicart6925]

@@manolimotion lol... yes, don't complain, we're supposed to get snow tomorrow 😠 I used to live in Winter Haven. I've actually lived in a few places in Florida... that's where I would like to end up again!!!

[@MichelleM-vw9qe]

I love it, I have never seen this technique and it is super cool. Thanks for sharing. , love the green 💚.

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much Michelle!

[@MichelleM-vw9qe]

I tried it and can see why you say it every time. Mine definitely needs some finessing. Also a bigger canvas would have helped Thanks again.

[@Shannon-s4o]

I’m mad at my spinner, but I’ll have a talk with it, lol, now that’s some funny shit, lol! Love it! Love your work!

[@manolimotion]

Haha! Thank you so much Shannon! I had the talk with my spinner and were cool now! :-)

[@Shannon-s4o]

@ haha, happy to hear it, lol!

[@desertsunman5880]

Hey - Enjoy your Work - Thx for Sharing - True about the humidity - Was raised in Melbourne, now paint out West (zippo humidity) - Grear piece - looks like a Bug's eye closeup view of St Augustine grass down at the roots peering up - Luv it - Oh, & a great Green mix - how about 'Green Crisp' - Roc on!👏👍😎

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much! Ahhhhh yes, I see that in this painting as well.

[@pattymullin8515]

What a unique and very cool piece! I love this so much that I am going to have the gall to give it a try tomorrow. Wish me luck🤞🎨

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much Patty! You got this! Just take your time with it and test it out on a small area before pouring! :-)

[@pattymullin8515]

@manolimotion OMG, good idea before I dive headfirst into the deep end. Thanks very much!! I was literally headed for my canvas and caught your message!

[@Suekyle]

So cool

[@lisePaquette-ue1to]

I love it! Definitely trying this technique. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much Lisa! :-)

[@bethhoss]

Awesome 👏🏻 I love watching your videos. PS I live in Georgia and agree with your weather assessment 😂😂

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much Beth! Ahhhh yes, I know you all also get that annoying in between weather as well, lol

[@RebekahSue]

If your spinner isn't interested in a resolution, I suggest taking a break from one another, maybe seeing new spinners. I LOVE the 15" spinner I got from Ikea. (Now I feel like a matchmaker.)

[@manolimotion]

Thanks Rebekah! I'll have to check it out at Ikea than! :-)

[@JudyEss]

That it cute. I’m going to try it.

[@invisiblue3212]

This was very well narrated, easy to follow, informative instructions were given, and the end result was amazing🤩👍👏 Ive never heard of 'scoop and fold' before and I cant wait to try it! And if you're looking for a name for your personalized green, Id like to suggest 'Got Your Attention Green' or 'Electric Lime'😁

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much! You got this and its gonna look amazing! I like 'electric lime'! Perfect name for that color! :-)

[@barbarachen9225]

This is awesome! Could you please let me know where to buy the trowel (super size palette knife). Thank you !

[@manolimotion]

Thanks so much Barbara! Of course! I got that one from Ace Hardware but those could be found in pretty much any hardware store. :-)

[@lealewis7509]

Cool.. I think I’ll try..😉😊

[@manolimotion]

Yay! Give it a shot and let me know if you have any questions :-)

[@kathyz8203]

I tried this for the first time today, using similar colors that you did for your first one. Unfortunately, my result was nowhere close. The way all the colors combined brush my, it really looked like a pile of mud. LOL I plan on trying again tomorrow with the Amsterdam Pearl colors. I’m thinking about trying this line technique and layering them all with the black in between every two or three colors, and possibly drizzle a little black over the top. What do you think?

[@manolimotion]

Hi Kathy! Thanks so much! I think thats a great idea! Black sometimes is tricky cause theres times it can overtake the other colors depending on the varying densities of the paints. I would probably mix the paints on the thicker side to prevent the colors from blending too much and looking muddy (Ive made that mistake myself). Also, it would be good to test it out first in a small area to see what it does before pouring, hope that helps :-)

[@kathyz8203]

@@manolimotion Yes it does and will try it on a tile first. Will let you know.

[@hyacinththomas760]

It looks like a mess but the end it gorgeous love it

[@kreationsbykristey]

Hello just subscribed to your channel. My sweet friend Betty from Oak by Betina sent me here .❤ This is very cool. Love the abstract look. May just have to try this technique. If i do I will plug your channel and video. Thanks for sharing and you have to talk nicely to the spinner. They get butt hurt very easily. Spinners these days!! 😂❤❤

[@manolimotion]

Hi Kristey! Thanks so much to you and Betty! You got this, let me know how it turns out. Yes, my spinner is sensitive but were good now, lol! :-)

[@vdenise100]

Nothing described in your description.

[@manolimotion]

Hi Denise, thanks for letting me know! I just updated it and it should be visible now, please let me know if there are any issues. :-)

[@Artsygirl40]

Have a talk with your spinner hopefully it goes well lol

[@manolimotion]
