Primary Elements ColourArte Experiment - Using Various Pouring Mediums / Acrylic Pouring / Fluid Art

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

What did you guys think of the experiment? Which one do you like best?

[@jeffm3283]

I was hoping the primary colors would blend more to make different colors. Thanks for doing the little experiment it was educational for me. I did something like this with acrylic paint that was mixed heavily with water and when I combined them I got different colors going down my canvas, so maybe the difference is just how well the paint mixes with itself.

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

@@jeffm3283 yes, it matters the pouring medium and the consistency for mixing on the canvas

[@joanbentivegna6413]

Can you mix them? Like say floetral with pouring medium? I think the Gac held the colors best. So I like that one best.

[@lounoyce]

Number 4 is lovely. Thank you the experience x

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

@@joanbentivegna6413 yes I mix the 3 of them together all the time, I dont normally mix polypour with anything

[@charlenehatter5058]

My favorites are floetrol and Liquitex I think they both turned out beautiful

[@sophs9767]

i absolutely love the liquitex one, turned out so beautiful

[@porcshasmoody2576]

I agree

[@moniquehoffman8828]

Thank you ! All wonderful ! Like how you use different effects of brands to mix colors paints n see which to like great 👍🏼 idea ! So can learn use it and I do like # 1 and 4 . 💗

[@bamacfa3130102]

I got these elements today and I have never seen such vibrant colors. I’m a fan

[@ericgrant1593]

The floetrol and liquitex are the best in my opinion i love how they turned out

[@ssmouse77]

I like #2 the GAC 800. It looks crisper. Thank you for the great demo.

[@alesianickerson5879]

Right now you are my favorite artist.

[@susanburg118]

I like the Liquidtex 1st and the Flowetron 2nd. Great job Molly!!!!

[@oklahomagal7541]

4 is beautiful Molly. Great test.

[@marywhitsett4553]

I like no 1 Will look awesome with resin. Love ya Molly

[@radioactive136]

My favorite is the Liquitex but I tend to be a sucker for blue :)

[@Annah-ek3rq]

Mine too

[@dianedompierre4488]

You are a good teacher. Thank you so much. 👏👏👏👍

[@nuna4307]

Omg Molly! Excellent experiment, thank you for sharing.

[@Kathleensplace71]

I loved #1 and #4, thanks for sharing 😀

[@josiecapps2555]

Great tutorial ❣️ thanks Molly

[@jacquelinepetersen5759]

I really like them all, but I like #4 probably the best - I find with these type canvases being so square edged the coverage is sometimes not good on the edges. I like the rounded edge canvases. Another beautiful demonstration!!!

[@incendiafawkes]

wonderful experiment, thank you for doing this! I love side by side comparisons of different products like this! I kinda wish you had skipped the white altogether, because the sparkle of those pigments is just magical and i feel the white takes away from that somewhat. P.S. I love all your videos, you have such a sweet personality, and share your knowledge and experience so freely and I admire you so much, thanks for all your hard work! Much love and respect to you

[@johnmckinnon3]

I loved the second one I liked the design and the gloss hope to try it for myself

[@cindymanning6757]

I would say that 4 and 2 turned out the best. BTW you are beautiful inside and out. Thank you for being such a great teacher.

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

Thank you so much cindy!

[@igdaliarivera3879]

I love the second one it’s very intriguing but the four of them are gorgeous thanks for that knew experience.

[@lindavarro9381]

So interesting that four different mediums can end up with different, unique pictures and colors.

[@sueg949]

I like them all! My favorites are 2 and 4 if I have to choose. They look great together!!

[@cynni69]

#4 is my favorite the colors are fabulous.

[@justinthefarm]

love the three on the right. They look beautiful. Thank you for doing this experiment.

[@kristisidlauskas9204]

They are all beautiful and would look great hanging together. If I had to choose one it would be #4 the Liquitex.

[@louisecollet]

I love the gac 800 and Liquitex. I have used these with other mediums, and if I don’t stir well or add a drop of water, it dries with little pebbles everywhere!!!! Thanks Molly!!!!! Love your channel

[@neva3504]

I like 3 and 4 the best, all of them look great. Thanks for helping to learn the differences.

[@MsMilkytheclown1]

informative. Thank you for sharing your dried results..

[@luckydn1334]

I think they are all cool designs. I like the 4th one the best.

[@shellymcburney379]

I like the colors in #4 the best, but I think the finish is best on #3. Thanks for sharing!

[@lorrijohns1786]

#4👍🙋‍♀️... I just got my first bottle of liquitex 😁... excited to try it! Thank you for sharing! Peace and Love Always, Lorri 💜💙💚💛🧡❤

[@lindajenkins3940]

Molly your the best 🤗 I have binged watched your videos 🤗 and try it to copy Some of them they never turns out LOL! I start and pause and start und pause !!!!! You are very appreciated 🤗 I just moved to Florida from Michigan 😄

[@annemiekebelgraver7400]

I like nr 4 best! Nice colors!

[@lizreynolds4554]

Beautiful baby!! I love them all. I think I like Floetrol lines that blended. The GAC 800 is so shiney, I love that. The polypour really shows the holograms. The last one, the Liquitex colors are the best. So 4 is my fave. I truly appreciate your time and effort to test them all allowing us to see how they worked. You are very kind to share your experiment. That is talent, and generosity at best. Love you. Happ-y Paint-ing!!! Blessings. Liz 👩‍🎨🎨🖌🇺🇸🍀💖🦓⭐

[@rspruill1422]

NJ here.... I love #4 liquidtex!!!! - awesome experiment thanks for sharing

[@nahlaalazawi5952]

All of them are so beautiful

[@marilynhedler246]

I like them all but I like the liquid text so much better. beautiful job

[@jriley015]

I love when you do these experiments. I learn so much!

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Very informative I love the liquitex & floetrol. Thx so very much appreciate it 🌹❤️

[@kathiereynolds2809]

Good to know you can use primary elements with different mediums. My favorite was the Gac 800. It was a cool design in the end. But they each things I liked about them. I’m going to try the Golden gloss medium too.

[@cecilialoyola9632]

Thank you very much for show us the different results. This help me to try another mixtures.

[@Jane.Doe.]

Liquitex Pouring Medium by far looks the prettiest to me, love that the blue made an appearance! Second best to me is the gac800. Great colors....

[@karenb2057]

All of them are beautiful! ❤️ #4 the best! 😊

[@patrickofarrell5508]

Here's my order.... #4 #1. #3. #2 Best pattern was #1. Oh, and I'm just a novice starting out. #1 may beat them with varnish on it. Really enjoy these videos & appreciate them. Starting is more difficult than I thought. So many options on pouring mediums. Thanks so much for doing these.

[@singerislandadventures5018]

What a helpful idea to experiment with. I was surprised at how much the colors changed from how bold they were in the raw form.

[@KickinChick06]

I have been wanting to try to do this for a while now but didn't know where to start. Your channel is so helpful and truly gives me the inspiration.

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

Thank you so much!

[@CatherineWhelanCostenArt]

Very helpful info, thanks so much. You mentioned a couple of times that you weren't going to torch but you never quite said why, I'm curious about that. Thanks for all your videos, I love watching and exploring with you

[@dany3131ify]

#4 thanks for all the amazing videos 🌹🥰

[@slvihelenevorrenaasand7835]

I liked the number 2 JAC 800, ITS very glossy and the colors are sharper and marmorised. Very beautiful 😍😍😍

[@jazmin3775]

Very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@jazmin3775]

And the GAC 800 is my fave!

[@gypsysoulpours]

Thank you for doing this test! Very informative! I just got my PE from CA in the mail today! Thanks Molly!

[@robstar5035]

I loved them. I like 4 the best.

[@TheStevenSherryShow]

I like 2 and 4. Beautiful all of them!

[@Mr1Husband]

They all look pretty but my favourites are 2, 3 and 4. Thank you for your videos. Very informative!!!

[@lindacheatwood]

Loved this experiment and my first fav was GAC800 and then Liquitex. But I am very interested in these colors! So beautiful.

[@LornaH2]

I liked them all but 3 & 4 were really nice.

[@melindazupan9131]

Just got some mica powders today. I think they all look pretty but maybe the Liqutex is my favorite. Thanks for doing this video. I'm gonna try it.

[@ValVacsA-LOT]

I like how vivid the colors are with the liquitex pouring medium. I like how it blended but is still colorful with the floetrol.

[@pipisdiyartandcrafts5447]

Thank you for doing this! I can't wait to experiment and see what I can do now!

[@rhondagdesignsrhondagwellm4337]

They look lovely, I'm glad your not obsessed with cells

[@MsHeidStevens]

I like all of them!

[@patwilson8546]

I watched this for the perfect training video. I am new to pouring, and am ready to put an Amazon order. I like the Liquitex, thank you blessings

[@wendynorth9749]

My vote is Floetrol. Thank you for this video. I’m a new painter and I’m learning so much from your videos!

[@rmyersperry1]

Number 2 shows really great!

[@TraumaQueen65]

This is a great comparison, thanks for posting it. How would you go about addressing the problems with the edges? Make the pour thicker?

[@Goldie1201]

My favorites are 1 & 4. I like how the colors blended in the floetrol & the few cells, but I like how the liquitex held the design.

[@b.s.nativegirlbrendasmith1702]

#2 is my favorite..thanks for sharing

[@kristingallipo4714]

I love the look of the pollie I'm going to have to buy that for my medium.

[@Carolesoriginalpieces]

I likes the last one the most!😘👏🏻👏🏻🐇🐇

[@mariannehoule8722]

The third one for me ! But all are very pretty!

[@artwithalison]

Looking at them at a distance (where the camera shows all four in the one shot), the GAC 800 has the brightest and more distinct colours. Thanks Molly ❤️

[@raquel.studio]

This is an awesome video very explanatory to newbies . Thank you so much I really needed it

[@ataramacnamara3741]

I like the matte finish of Floetrol on many of my projects but #4 Liquitex is my favorite of these. I enjoy your videos.

[@petermossman7276]

Mine is liquitex love the way the colours turned out 😉👊

[@mejenks1]

Hi Molly, thanks for this! I wanted to mention that the polypour is an acrylic binder while the others are pouring mediums. Pigment needs an acrylic binder to become paint. And then a pouring medium is added to the paint to assist with flow. (For this conversation, we can call Floetrol a pouring medium, though it isn't really...) The reason you got the results you did is because you had three that didn't include an acrylic binder... and one that had an acrylic binder but no flow aid. Notice that the only one that adhered to the sides of the canvas was the Polypour, the acrylic binder. Pigment plus polypour is the same as, or equal to, a liquitex basic or a golden paint... except that you get to control how much pigment is included in the paint recipe. It might be interesting to try another experiment where you mix the pigments with polypour... and THEN add the paint mix to the three different pouring mediums.... i.e three canvases instead of four. Thanks!

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

While I do agree with you, liqitex pm and gac800 do have some binders in them, they are not just flow aids in my opinion. Floetrol I completely agree not a good binder. But I think yes you are right, the pigments needed the polypour to stay together better which is why the company created it that way in the first place. You in essence make paint by combining the pigment and binder together. This video was more because people didn't always have the polypour and wanted to see how the different mediums would react with the pigments. Thank you for your comment, very helpful!

[@grandmamichellesart-michel2668]

@@MOLLYSARTISTRY yes I agree that there is likely some amount of binder in the golden and liquitex pouring medium. Based on the experiment in the video it seems that there isn't enough to use these for the purpose of an acrylic binder. Sure! It could be used. No doubt! It's just the pigments are pretty expensive so for me, I want to use it when it's in it's best form. :)

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

@@grandmamichellesart-michel2668 yes I agree! Which is also why I think this video was helpful. See what works and what doesn't work too right?!

[@vetalverson7401]

2 and 3 my favs❤️❤️❤️ I could deal with 4 for sure👍👍👍

[@LisaPetersen-hy8hn]

Love them all but number 4 is prettiest to me.

[@wilhat]

They all look fantastic the second one popped more so number 2.

[@joannkensler7180]

I prefer the liquitex because of the colors that surfaced. No. two is also beautiful.thank you for the experiment.

[@deenajmedia]

I like #4 Liquitex the best... GAC #2 dried surprisingly beautiful though!!!!!!!

[@heatherkukla4929]

I loved the number 4 and number 2 the best. I love the iridescent colors on them as well. 😍

[@Millie12]

I loved the experiment and out of the four I think I like number 3 the best

[@TektonicDragon]

I really like the Liquitex piece, but all of them look ethereal!

[@nikkimanow381]

2&4 👍 very cool molly

[@HeyRaeSunnyDay]

Thank you for this thoughtful experiment, so interesting! Hands down, the GAC800 results are the most beautiful. I might add PVA glue to thicken it up.

[@estellepatella2520]

I like #2 the best. Although each one of them has it's own character. Excellent comparison.

[@ginafeddersen8200]

GAC 800 is my favourite, Liquitex and Floetrol nr 2 and 3 place, and the vivid last. Appreciate you testing this for us Molly! 😊😊😊😊

[@carolperez1426]

Thanks for sharing g this experiment. I like #4 the best.

[@kayakiranana6059]

Think the liquitex is best. Floetrol next. All are beautiful colors, polypour least fav! Would love to see resin works next for something a little different..your works are lovely though and your videos are so clear and concise! Keep them coming!! Thx!!

[@staceycordell607]

Those are all beautiful. I like the Liquitex the most then the Polypour. Toss up with GAC and floetrol to me.

[@debrabrown334]

I liked #4…but they all r beautiful. Thx

[@MOLLYSARTISTRY]

Thank you! 😊

[@blulumwaquepajoo7158]

Love your videos

[@marylyndurie8157]

I think Floetrol and Liquitex PM. Great experiment! Thanks

[@virginiabrown8382]

The flowtrol is my favorite. Matt but you can varnish and have a favorite gloss. They are all pretty

[@alpapatel4229]

#4,#2,#3#1.Thank you for doing this.Big help.

[@piperwatch3889]

I love the liquitex and the gac800

[@VanessaFindiesen]

#4 Liquitex & #2 GAC. I'm hoping you will test some other mediums to find something else that will work well for your colander pours.

[@irmarosales8234]

Quiero comprar tus productos qué debo hacer . Mi nombre es Irma Rosales Ascsnio vivo en México en la ciudad de Cuernavaca y mi ilusión más grande es aprender a pintar pouring durante 40 años pinté con todas las técnicas y ahora me falta la tuya ,por favor dime que tengo que hacer para obtener tus productos. Te lo voy a agradecer mucho

[@irmarosales8234]

Quiero comprar el floetrol , el cilicón , y los colores primarios

[@basema187]

Very interesting. My favorite is Liquitex

[@dolphinsblu]

#4 is my fav for sure... I really like the cells of #1, I think it just brings something extra to the pieces. #'s 2,3,& 4 as you moved them around almost had a metallic look. They all look good though!
