⚖ PENDULUM Art 101 | How to create Pendulum SWING & the 🎨Paint Consistency | Acrylic Pouring Art✨

In this video, I show how I created my Pendulum Swing and the Formula I use for my Paint Consistency. I have adjusted my swing using carabiners instead of wires in some places.
Hope you enjoy the video. Let me know what you use for your pendulum.
Bye for now!
Rhonda

I so want to try this but I am afraid..Thank you for the tutorial, I am maybe feeling a bit more confident.

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

GREAT!!! Good luck and let me know if you do!

[@nataschulkalazorenko642]

Вау!

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

😃

[@kimberlee17]

Great tutorial. Any idea what size drill bit you are using for the holes in the cups?

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

I’ll check to see if I have that and get back to you. Thanks so much

[@feliciachild8804]

I enjoy watching your videos. I was wondering how much wait do you use on your cups?

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

It’s about a point. You don’t need much just something so it doesn’t fly everywhere.

[@cliffordharley4322]

If you heat up the end of the drill bit before you start drilling , you might not crack the cup? Also, if you set the cup down like your going to fill it and drill the bottom from the inside, you might have better luck! Just make sure you put the cup on a piece of scrap wood or something!

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

Thank you!!!! Great point.

[@nathanalarcon4394]

Rhonda I need some guidance. After watching your video I have been trying(unsuccessfully) to create one. The issue I'm having is although I get a steady stream the paint comes out blochy no matter how thin or thick the paint is. I am using a ketchup/condiment bottle I bought from Walmart inverted and cut in half and in a leg weight swing like the one you use. Do u have any suggestions?

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

Do you have an "air hole/open area" when you turn the bottle upside down? The paint needs the help of air to push it down in a steady stream. Think about when you sip on a bottle of water or your favorite beverage. If you complely inicirle the area the beverage is coming out with your mouth, it comes out slower but if you have a space above your mouth where the bottle has air when drinking the beverage it flows faster in a more steady stream. Im not sure I am explaing this very well...so here is an example from my college days...maybe you might have seen when people poke a hole in the side at the bottom of a can...let's say a beer can...then when they put that up to their mouth and then pop the top of the can, they can drink it very fast. 😁 If you do have airflow from above the paint once you tip it for the pendulem and it sill isn't working...let me know and I can help more.

[@christylane1976]

A hot soldering iron makes PERFECT holes in plastic!!!

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

That is so true. Didn’t think of that! I probably wouldn’t have cracked so many cups! Ha ha!!!

[@Vsv1224]

Thank you so much for this great, informative video. I learned so much. I do have one question. What size drill bit did you use? Thank you!

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

It was an 1/8 of an inch but it all depends on how thin your paint is. It could be thicker and use a thicker hole. I would practice before you use it.

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

Thank you!!!

[@Vsv1224]

@@RhondasTriRRRtistry rest assured I will practice, both with and without paint. I appreciate all your help!

[@edwin_art_studio414]

That's awesome.... Which is the distance between cup and the canvas?

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

Thank you!!!! It was only about three to four inches is all or about 7.5 - 10 Ccm. Thanks for watching and asking!

[@jimbruce3923]

Just saw this video, 7/15/21, Going right out to buy an ankle weight ,,,,Thank You.

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

Have fun! It works GREAT!

[@patsyhune6329]

Rhonda cut a hole into the other end of bottle to get it to flow

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

Thanks!

[@patsyhune6329]

What size of drill bit did you use? Thank you for step by step. I want to try this method

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

I can’t remember. Sorry! It’s been such a long time since I did it but I just used it again the other day so I’ll check. Thanks

[@feliciachild8804]

How do you cover the canvas with the base paint so we’ll without it showing through, it seems like it’s taking me numerous coats and it still shows. And what kind of paint do you use for the base

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

There are different levels of opaqueness and even translucency in paint. So some paint depending on the level of transparency or opaqueness could show the canvas or other pain through layers of paint. An easy place to look to see is in the tube or jar of paint. Some will have a a box or a “+” sign. Let me know what you see and I can help guid you or you can google what it means on line. 😃 let me know if you have any other questions!

[@tomcowsert8962]

What size drill bit did you use?

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

I’m not sure it was pretty small but let me take a look and get back to you. Thanks.

[@mariangelbeltranmessa7003]

como se hace para que dure tnto la inèrcia? A mi no me sale...

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

I think it has to do with the how it is connected above and how ling the string is.

[@feliciachild8804]

I love your work, I wish your camera was closer to see better

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

I learned a lot about camera angles on this one. Thanks for the feedback!

[@timtonicki9115]

What was the paint in the bigger container?

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

I used it to catch my pendulum with. I didn’t use anything from that container. Unless I mistaken of what you saw. Just let me know.

[@danielle3901]

I think you may be asking about the liquitex in the big container and that is a pouring medium not paint its what you mix with paint

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

Thanks!

[@fredsones9478]

Next time put 3 or 4 cup together then drill hole gives bottom support and won’t crack any of them

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

Great idea thanks!!!

[@charlesdaniel2313]

Place a small canvas on the edge to do something else as well...

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

I love that idea…🤦🏼‍♀️why didn’t I think of that. LOL!!!!

[@aucomint]

It looks so easy when you do it but something tells me deep down inside that there must be a secret somewhere. It cannot be that easy!

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

I will admit I tested a few times before I got the hang of it.

[@charlesdaniel2313]

Melt hole..

[@RhondasTriRRRtistry]

I did think of that as well. With a soldering iron. Next time. 😃
