New technique! ninja swipe / puddle pour/acrylic pour

I love this piece! Puddle pour with Ninja swipes 😂 so much fun! I added some detail in the end (all on camera) which gave it another wow factor. I can’t wait for this to dry!

So Gorgeous, Sarah. It reminds me of an exotic orchid. A Simple yet brilliant new technique of manipulating a puddle pour. Way to go!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you ☺️

[@fluidarts1061]

Vicki Smith I was thinking the same thing. An exotic orchid.

[@glendacarlson7107]

Yes, an exotic orchid. I have been watching videos all week long and I keep coming back to this one because it is so beautiful, so I am on my way to purchase what I need to do this one as my first acrylic pour.

[@patriciaminer7491]

Absolutely in love with this!!😃 Gorgeous composition and colors

[@merelmiranda4205]

Love these colors!! ♡

[@louisestewart-brown8785]

Love your method of slowly working through to a resolution.

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you!☺️

[@aterryadg]

It’s really beautiful! I just thinking “the pink lady” in her fur and baubles and bows!!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you 😊

[@rosemaryrichcreek9848]

This is beautiful !!

[@michelelewsader3262]

Stunning artwork

[@WickedBadCops]

Love love!! You’re so talented. I love how you do start to finish and most importantly...explain the ingredients in the paint!! Has there been any problems using a lot of Floetrol? 👏👏😊❤️

[@josephinegambotti8923]

J’ aime 🤩

[@MrDumonic]

I love how this is a pour but also a paint. I’ve never seen it done like this. I’ve done 4 acrylic pours in my life and all I did was directly squeeze acrylic colours onto a canvas and add flow medium. Basically they all come out the same, just different colours.

[@marlenemeinhard8956]

Really gorgeous.

[@RD-xu8cv]

Very pretty almost looks like someone kneeing your work beautiful

[@karenmansur1323]

OMG! That was awesome. Great job! Very impressed 👏👏👏👏

[@SarahMackArt]

Aww thank you so much!

[@jamessimmers2706]

Actually pretty nice ! ♥️😎

Thank you!

[@dalewhiting7559]

WOW That is gorgeous.

[@jeanjaggers3607]

Lovely, looks like a deep sea jelly fish.

[@SarahMackArt]

Yes it does! Thank you

[@mentalfloss100]

UNIQUE...........yup !! 🥰🥰🥰

[@divtwins]

I love this! Did it dry and look the same??

[@SarahMackArt]

Yes, I can’t wait to show it Sunday!💕💕

[@techdesigner9741]

Beautiful!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you!

[@sarahmcdonough9251]

This is the first of your videos that I have watched & I really enjoyed it! That painting is absolutely beautiful!!!!!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you so much💕💕

[@djdbatt]

I agree! Stunning.

[@maryannmorrison6859]

Very ethereal!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@ShiloStayinGold]

Was your background paint still wet when you started poring or dry?

[@SarahMackArt]

Yes still wet

[@dianebodemann3910]

where do you buy your tools from. the red tool use etc. thanks

[@SarahMackArt]

Michaels craft store in the cake decorating section

[@tjmulhern1895]

I’m so glad I clicked on this video, I love this technique, way more control than just pouring and tilting and no wasting half the paint over the edges! Also, did you say your cat’s name is Moo? I love it!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you! And yep his name is Moo!

[@Robinicat]

A monster crushing peoples in his teeth!

[@sallifrancis7250]

When you reached for the spatula, I yelled, "there she goes!". My husband jumped 😳

[@SarahMackArt]

Hahaha! I hope he is ok! 😂💕

[@BubblyOne]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@beagiver6864]

Now that's a good one. Though your comment is a year ago i still laughed!

[@heatherfoster4154]

Sall Francis Watch the other Ninja swipe video that Sarah did. It was the first time I had seen this technique used and my heart was in my mouth as well. Along with the wicked laugh afterwards and I cannot wait to try this method. It is so so out of the square.

[@juliahunsinger3070]

Absolutely beautiful, and I see a being in a beautiful robe

[@bstanevich]

This is such an angelic piece. I hope you name it something other than Ninja Swipe! In honesty, I hated it after the fist swipe and the second. I would have washed the canvas, but you have such an amazing eye and vision. Thank you for sharing. I know that can be hard for an artist. I will never call myself an artist. I am a good copy cat. But watching you is quite an experience for me. I see what colors you use and what techniques and then I go somewhere different. I stop wanting to copy you. I want to make something as beautiful as you in my own way. You are a wonderful teacher and inspiration!

[@SarahMackArt]

Aww thank you 💕 not named Ninja swipe lol just sorta a technique name. Heavenly Jellyfish is it’s name

[@74poipoigirl]

Reminds me of a jellyfish, the kind you only find in the depths of the ocean but ca'nt believe that its so beautiful.

[@SarahMackArt]

74poipoigirl thank you!

[@denisechance2796]

Absolutely beautiful! 😍From the view I'm looking at it...it looks like a sleepy pelican with a mouthful of gold nuggets. 😊

[@spgard29]

I see a dog! ;)

[@EmberSteel121]

💚 I see a Viking lady with pink face, white fur stole, blond braids and a long dress & cloak. 10:20

[@sranyak]

Stunning one of the best I’ve seen yet, I would call the “Mack Swipe” why not.

[@boop7313]

so perfect lol. love it

[@karenkelleher989]

Did my first Nija Swipe this morning! It came out....but.....not as beautiful or etheral as yours...! Mine was more like.....Birth of a psychedelic cockroach....but it IS cool! Thank you for sharing. (P.S. I had no Payne's grey, so I made some ;o)

[@SarahMackArt]

Karen Kelleher haha! Your description is hilarious 😂 love it! And so glad you gave it a try!

[@kenrussell1093]

Actually, your psychedelic roach description sounds pretty cool. I'm gonna try my first attempt this morning, hope it goes well😏

[@karenkelleher989]

Good Luck to you, Ken! Maybe you will get a beautiful monkey-cow swinging through a corn field or something! ;D

[@kenrussell1093]

@@karenkelleher989 You may find this a little hard to believe, maybe not, but a lot of my paintings do have a lot of imagery in them. I actually have one of an alien and a woman making love, I have angels and demons, and one which I had never even seen myself until last night, that has, I swear to God, an Anaconda, head and body, with another snake beside it(I swear, I am no devil worshiper!). Maybe I'll get the Virgin Mary out of my Ninja Swipe, who knows :-)

[@lauriewellman6024]

I Love it, especially from your perspective. I was seeing it oblong with the top being bunny ears At 1st I thought it looked like a crazy nuked insect. Like Woodstock 50 years later. Don't do drugs. kids. but seeing it from your angle it's amazing❤

[@SarahMackArt]

Yes I saw the bunny too when I walked around it! 💕

[@ThestuffthatSaralikes]

Lmao...

[@jdmosaics]

Sarah Mack an amazing result! I am just seeing it now 7 mths on... did it dry well? A wonderful abstract artist I met years ago said... if you see something in your abstract painting... get rid of it or you will alway see it.... composition rules still come into play and are good to know so you can keep them or break them... To anchor an image into the canvas sometimes it is good to have the image going out of the picture plane in at least three edges... even if only a tiny amount... love these colours and the Payne’s Grey (with it’s mix of at least four pigments ) is lovely blue bias choice with the gold! Well done!

[@tracylynn3096]

Love this! So beautiful. I see a woman in flowing robes

[@matrixbabe53r18]

It looks awesome! the morphing effect is uncanny...it actually looks like a mineral stone, after being cut polished and left to dry! Stunning!

[@sapphirenut]

Love it!!! Call him jellysquid!! It’s gorgeous.

[@miriamperez8444]

Absolutely beautiful... adding your extra touches was amazing .. thank you for sharing your wonderful and beautiful inspiration...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕

[@gangstamum]

At 13:00 if I rotate the left of my screen to the bottom to view canvas length ways I see a geisha with a fan

[@nunawatson4307]

Beautiful Sarah, love it, can’t wait to try it. Must be the helping sweater 🇨🇦

[@meganharper965]

That’s my favorite payne’s gray. You are killing it with these “ninja swipes”

[@SarahMackArt]

My favorite as well! It’s the perfect shade!❤️ I’m loving my new technique lol

[@kathryncampbell3302]

Beautiful! It almost looks like a unicorn with her head tucked down. 😊

[@SarahMackArt]

I can see that!

[@cosmicsquirrel7642]

I really love your hand touches. Great to see the originality happening.

[@SarahMackArt]

Cosmic squirrel thank you so much ☺️

[@mariagabriele9183]

Stunning. Nice to see an alternative to black as a back ground. Good Job!!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you! I didn’t want to go white either. Payne’s gray for the win!

Amen!

Oh yes!!

[@robertmowery3370]

Yes I do. That is the first thing I noticed. Great eye.....

Thank you for adding more black to the corner closest to the camera. Untill that moment I was screaming at the video.

[@sheriwnds]

[@denkerdunsmuir3370]

Floetral? What is it? Thought I knew my acrylic mediums. Where to buy 4 bulk and daily budget painting. Thx for fab video! Also, what is " milk paint mix?"

“Mack Attack” “Sarah Swipe”

[@sallyspears1661]

That is one of THE MOST STUNNING pours I've seen!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Truly gorgeous!!!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank so very much for your kind words💕💕💕

[@helenpadilla5744]

From the angle we are viewing the process it looks like a lady walking with a cape with a high collar flowing out behind her. I love this!

[@jennyjohnson2554]

It looks like a crazy pelican to me 🤪

[@carolinedenhouting4141]

This has to be up there with my favourite Sarah pours! You're killing it! More Sarah swipes please ! ♥️♥️♥️

Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

@Atlas Asher I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@santannahowdyshell7930]

Why would anyone thumbs down this unless out of pure jealousy. This is beyond beautiful and makes my soul happy to look at. Nice job keep up the great work.

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you so much

[@heatherfoster4154]

Santanna Howdyshell. I agree. Its like that comment about Sarah not being able to teach blah blah. Some people are just so rude. Sarah Mac you have taught me so much in just a couple of videos.

[@pennytrowsdale253]

beautiful how about naming it the orchid

[@SarahMackArt]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@hotlittlezombiekiller2729]

This is absolutely inspiring! You’re truly gifted. The other commenter is right! It does look like an exotic orchid! It’s beautiful,please continue to create more masterpieces ♥️♥️♥️

[@YTjndallas]

Outstanding!!!

[@wendyjones5871]

I absolutely LOVE this!!! Beau composition and color combination!!!

[@KimberlyHickman2011]

I like this....it looks like ‘Transformation’ to me...like multiple chrysalis’ and a caterpillar beginning one.

[@amg8497]

LOL wasn’t expecting that !! … the ninja swipe is a really clever suggestion I think … Even for acrylic pouring 👍 That is stunning BTW

[@six6ave]

Hi Sarah i really enjoyed watching you did this particular painting i watched it over and over, i am beginners at this but would like to try to do it. As a beginners i am still learning the name of srt products in terms of the mixing the pouring medium , to buy ready made ones are so expensive where i live Would you mind. Sharing the recipe for this art work ? The canvas base looks so nice and smooth . And the colors looks great with black back ground Thank you . Have a great day

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you so much! I use Floetrol as my medium. Most paints I mix two parts Floetrol to one part paint. Paints more fluid such as paints in a squeeze bottle I mix one part Floetrol to one part paint. I do not buy premixed pouring paints as it doesn’t make sense financially

[@lindafromcalifornia1155]

I really like the way you swept the pour and the edging you did. It gives me some ideas. Thanks.

[@meredithandersen3055]

I love your colors and your composition very beautiful I enjoyed watching you

[@ronshook5194]

NICE, looks very Microbial, .... under microscope,..... ETC. NICE. New to pouring, old in painting, Art......retired zoo keeper biologist.

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you very much!

[@צפירהזילברשטיין]

This is a truly special one, just glorious❤❤❤

[@carolnichols2692]

Why does this make me think of "in utero" or a lima bean.

[@ShaighJosephson]

I love how they look...but art schools and galleries are rejecting pour medium works now because they are created randomly and by chance without any concept, intent, or any skill needed at all... The market has become totally saturated with them because there are way too many hacks out there creating them now...and making a crazy amount of youtube videos just for the view money...

[@ivonneacevedo8126]

Can you tell me the name the thing used whith the paint. POURIC OR SOMETHING

[@pamcarr4003]

Very nice! I wondered what a 'Ninja' swipe was, and now I know, Lol! I can't wait to try it! I think Ninja swipe goes with paint pouring, yeah it does! Good job, great colors and details too, thanks for sharing! Pam

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you Pam. 😊😊 give it a try!

[@amandamcdonald9135]

Very pretty angel like

[@mitziuk1]

Can you list the enamel semi gloss paints brand please, as I'm not spelling it correctly and can not find it 🙄 also the milk paint. This is absolutely stunning I'm loving the colours and your twist on the Dutch pour....I've seen it mentioned in many posts on Facebook. Way to go girl ❤

[@dianavestal850]

My paint surface is too high looking at yours, im pouring on a kitchen island. I literally get paint on my forearms as high as my elbows trying to hold the canvas up and tilt, and resting my arms on the surface. I know why I can't make the pretty tidal waves that you make now, My paint in the bottles are thin so adding floutrol make them even thinner. Cheap paint. :( but hey im still learning to actually do this, I did manage to get the most beautiful piece today. So much so, that my husband called dibs on it. LOL when I run out of these paints maybe I can afford to get the thicker quality paint. I love watching you pour, you are the only one out their that are stunning and intricately interesting not to mention just beautiful.

[@lisaberlin2405]

It's so beautiful. I hope it drys nicely for you. I hate when I like what I made and then it drys ugly. Everything seems to look better right after when its wet. Love your work.

[@payelghosh1789]

Why does this painting looks like a beautiful alien embryo in my eyes? Where the most white part is the head, and from it two long ears are forming above..and beneath that the body part forming, where the golden coloum thingi is its vertebrae 🤔 I checked if anybody else sees what I am seeing in the comment section. But Nope! 😶

[@lrl2196]

very pretty, I like it from the width view, it looks like 2 boats with a feather and a sort of bulls eye around 12:46 where i have stopped.... will go now and finish the video....love the technique !

[@cathyherbisonwiget7887]

Beautiful work! Very interesting, too. By the Way you can watch a couple of videos on resin. Very helpful.

[@ink-aholicsartscrafts5634]

At 16.32 from our angle it looks like Pluto!! Amazing! Call it a threshing pour.

[@svetlananachmetdinova8]

very beautiful, it's a pity we do not all understand English, can you please write the composition of colors? and what and what paint do you add for such a picture, thanks

[@roslynjones5886]

Do you sell most of your art?

[@SarahMackArt]

Sometimes 😊 I go to art shows and have extended installation shows locally

[@curiel4231]

I love this piece. In my eyes i see a a very bottom fron the sea creature. You know the onse that are see through and blink lights? I dont know how well explaine it. Wow! Awesome!

[@charlottefreismuth3143]

I am new to mixing paints could you please tell me in cups or ounces what the mixture of 2 parts and 1 part exactly is? Thanks so much love all your paintings.

[@catherineb2463]

Sarah how did you end up with the final finish? Did you touch up that one side? How did it dry? Just wondering if you share the dried results somewhere? Thanks

[@HeatherMaderArt]

This is beautiful! I can't wait to try your Ninja swipes!! :) I've enjoyed both of the paintings I've seen like this. Gorgeous. I'll, of course, credit you if I do. :)

[@SarahMackArt]

Heather Mader Art thanks lady! Trying to figure out a technique name is not as easy as thought lol.

[@sandrajohnson2489]

It's just my opinion of course but I feel that you wasted a lot of paint that you originally poured into that puddle. You barely moved it at all and there was a lot underneath still. I am a painter and hate to waste paint. I just feel like reaching into the video and opening up that puddle of paint.

[@01missmisty]

That is so cool how the first ninja swipe looks like it is floating on top of the bottom layer

[@lizard4108]

To me, it looks like a baby in utero. On the whiter end, it looks like a baby being born and the head is already out. Plus the two limb looking things look like fallopian tubes and ovaries are hanging down from one of them.

[@Dodo_hanna]

جميلة جداً it’s so beautiful 😍 I just love it 😍😍😍

[@leflowdantonia1215]

Always happy to see your stunning ninja swipe😍😍😍😍😍

[@SharonAdams-v5h]

Looks amazingly different ❤

[@mako9333]

It reminded me of a big wasp, i havent seen anybody using this technique before, i should try it out!

[@hkkjr1115]

Sorry....your mixture amounts have left me confused.

[@crystal0ball]

Awesome:) love it

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you ☺️

[@MylbsLife-ny7fy]

This is sooo nice! It makes me think of the fat mouse from Pinky and the Brain. (Brain, duh).

[@cyndilee5431]

Very different and organic. It makes me think of a beautiful bug!

[@MrZaidisyedali]

Beautiful composition , specially the swipe results are fantastic

[@abidakhan]

Did you see what I see. Baby sleeping in mother's womb first she pour

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 how awesome, I love how this turned out. What an awesome technique. The ghost cells are so pretty 💜💜💜
