5 Identical Layered Cups, 5 Fluid Art Techniques 🎨 straight pour, ring pour, flip cup, ribbon pour

I made the pouring medium 2parts pva glue to 1part water by weight, and then mixed 5part pouring medium to 4part paint by weight. I added extra water to some to thin them down so the consistency of all paints was the same. I also added Spot On Treadmill Silicone to each colour.

[@nicolhuntington7717]

By far the best is the flip cup 😍, then the swirly ribbon pour 💜, then the ribbon pour.👍🏻

[@colleenmcdonald1958]

Hi Clair I loved the centre , the one you didn't like. I guess we all have different tastes in art

[@kristimiera1070]

I like the last two the best!

[@JulzHair]

This is so cool! 4 and 5 are my favorites! I love some big ol cells❤️

[@hampgirl59]

My favorite is the last and now I"m planing that last one. Thank you for showing these different styles and the differences.

[@neva3504]

Hi, Neva from Traverse City, Michigan USA 🇺🇸. First time seeing you in action creating beautiful pieces of Art. Funny but they all look different but beautiful within each one. Smiling thumbs up 👍 😀 and I will be back.

[@patti4823]

4 is my favorite but they are all nice.

[@kellywarner8264]

All are very beautiful.

[@goodforthesoul3050]

4 & 5 by far my favourite.

[@SonjaLuce]

I liked the last one the most but before you heated it so much. Very informative video! Thank you for sharing.

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thank you 😊

[@amymaki2918]

In order of best to okay -- 4, 5, 3, 1, 2. Thank you for explaining each type of pour and executing them. If I were making suggestions, I would have put silicone in only one or two colors rather than in all, but you were applying an even testing platform so as to get comparable results across five different pouring methods. 👍😊

[@evemahony671]

My fav is the last one!!! ❤❤❤

[@mariedoremus8440]

All beautiful! Last two my favorite:) fun to watch all the different pours!

[@annevanbeek9577]

I really love numbers one and 5..so different and so beautiful 😍

[@bernicebretal2126]

Hi from The USA, your color are great

[@Fiduena]

The last one is my favourite ❤

[@annepilgrim6865]

I like the first one by far the best. I like the focus of colour, so that the design becomes the focus. For me, the others are too messy. But I could use something like that to continue working with something else on top...

[@cbsrutherfordtonday9877]

No. 5 is my favorite. I love all the colors showing.

[@allandavidson9176]

Lovely Claire. I like 5,3,1,4,2. My husband likes 5,3,4,1,2. Glenis

[@judyo.2558]

Claire, my favorites are the flip cup and the last ribbon pour. I've never been crazy about anyone's ring pours. Just not my cup of tea. Love the flip cup painting the most. Enjoy watching you're videos. Also love that you experiment.

[@Ouija1385]

Love this! I was so helpful! I loved 4 and 5 the best, then 3. 1 and 2 tied! Thank you for doing this.

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thank you 😊

[@rogerjames6956]

Nice one, well done.

[@susansolomon4107]

Thank you so much for your experimenting! I can't wait to do some of my own. New paints arriving this week!!

[@lisarasmussen8998]

Love #5, swirling ribbon pour.

[@maryjohnston7805]

I love # 4

[@johannahunderwood4596]

This is the joy of fluid art. You started with the same cups and each result has its own look.

[@rudbeckiasun]

No. 3 reminds me of a detailed photo of a gas giant planet. I love it!

[@tazbaby713]

My favorites are 3 and 5. But I love them all

[@elaineengle6353]

I liked numbers 1 and 5. Wonderful experiment. The artist I believe you are thinking of is Georges Seurat . Thank you for sharing, Elaine

[@eduardoaceves6620]

Awesome techniques. I'll try it today

[@omacollins5725]

I like all five for different reasons.

[@kariarvisais8588]

❤ 🎨 thank you! I like them all

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thanks so much 😊

[@JustJennifer2807]

Thank you so much for this and all your experiments, Claire - its so helpful for new artists like me. Your art is lovely. The straight and the ring pours are my favourite but they are all so pretty. Thanks for taking the time to share your learnings with us ❤

[@lzfluidart8315]

I love experiments like this. It’s amazing how different they can be. Very cool, thx for sharing

[@cathyclemmer2059]

I like number 2 and 3 the best.

[@annacadas9303]

Amazing!

[@catpender9807]

Each painting has a kind of unique flair. I like the last one with all those colorful cells the most. Good job!

[@sanne46]

I love your paintings 😍 Usually I'm not into cells so I like nr tree. But I love No. 5 to my surprise. It's incredibly beautiful 🥰 Thanks for the great videos 😘

[@tracyalam4083]

I like the 3rd one the best!

[@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

Claire, it's a great video and artwork session. All 5 paintings are unique and beautiful in their own way. I just cannot pick a favorite. If I had made any one of these I would be bursting at the seems! I am not normally crazy about a ton of cells,but I love 4 and 5 because you didn't swipe or use a specific cell activator. I love 1 because of the design you got from the pour, I have never done a straight pour before. I never knew you could get such a beautiful design. I did do a ring pour before, 2, but I didn't use these beautiful colors or get this great design. 3, I adore ribbon pours and I'm not sure why. But in this one you can see all of the gorgeous colors and the lines and designs. Sorry, but I wish you had made it easier to choose, so it's your fault I can't pick a favorite because you are an outstanding artist. ❤❤❤ By the way I see a friendly monster face in 2. Kinda cat looking. 😂

[@TrinaRaysTrekofLife]

Wow!! I absolutely love that you did this experiment!! They all look beautiful to me! Purple is my favorite color!! 💜 But my favorite is definitely the one shown in the middle, ribbon pour, at the end of the video. 💜 ❤ 💜 ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this with us!! 13:20 "One of the really fun things about fluid art is, you can't plan too much, you might have a plan, but I think the key is just to be flexible and go, literally, go with the flow of the paint". Well said, I agree!! I like to say "Fluid art is the media for me because I tend to have a perfectionist personality, and all other art forms I end up being frustrated and disappointed in my outcome. 😑 But with Acrylic Pouring, I choose the colors, I choose the canvas, and I have a general plan, but once that paint hits the canvas, 'it takes on a life of it's own.: I just discovered Acrylic Pouring on 6/7/22 and I've already done 7 pour Paintings and posted 4 videos on my Channel! The first 2 were actually tempera paint pours because that's all I had. The next one was with Acrylic craft paints. The next one was with Acrylic Paints and it turned out beautifully if I do say so myself! Lol Happy Pouring Everyone!! 👏🤗👏🤗

[@siageorge2837]

I like the last one, it had more colour and movement.

[@GorillaGal]

5 is my favorite! but they are all awesome. even the one you didn't like (number 3?)

[@angel_spring]

1 and 3 are my favorites

[@bjg104]

My favorites are the two ribbon pours. I was surprised how much the purple took over in several of the paintings.

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thank you very much 😊

[@diannephillips5104]

They are all fab but my favourite is number 5. I quite like the cells in 4 because they have a mix of the colours and look like little opals. It's always interesting to see experiments like this - fascinating that the same colours produce such different results. Thank you for sharing.

[@cindivian21]

I love all of them. I want to try this!

[@heldenwel]

They are all good. The one that was the ribbon pour would suitable for embellishments. They are all very good. The last one is great due to being able to see all the colours. Thank you for sharing 🤩 🥰

[@judyessmyer1529]

Very cool test.

[@rhondaphillips432]

BEAUTIFUL❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@reneelav7]

I enjoyed this video so much. What a great expirament! I can't decide because I love them all (even the ribbon pour) Great job.

[@jennifertrewartha8161]

I like the two ribbon pours the best! 😊

[@marlyndataylor2925]

Lovely cell variations.

[@rebeccahyatt7789]

4, and 5 are my favorites. Thank you, Claire

[@ArtsReallyCool123]

Great video! We both really liked how the ring pour turned out. However, the color pallette you used looks great in all 5.

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thanks so much 😊

[@catherinehunter1078]

5 swearly o e is my favorite! I think they're all beautiful but the colors in #5 are amazing!

[@alliebygrave8615]

That last one you did was stunning!! Love watching these experiments! The ring pour is lovely too! They make a lovely series! Xx

[@margaretpoirrier9725]

This was really fun to see the different outcomes. My favorite is the flip cup, kind of astounded by the results. The last one is nice as well. Thanks!

[@candiceshull9746]

Absolutely #1 it’s focal point reminds me of nature, and it’s irregular beauty. ❤❤❤

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

The ghosting on the straight pour was fantastic.

[@carolinewaterstone2624]

How fab, another of your experiments! I really like nos 1 and 3! I did three different paintings with black bases snd Metallics: Aus swipe, Dutch pour and little swipes over the whole background. You’ve inspired me to try something like that again! Thanks, 😃

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thank you 😊

[@TampaBMan]

The last ribbon is my fav. Very cool to see same colors and how they behave using different techniques. Similar yet very different ⚠️

[@3dlovely]

What a great experiment! I love #5. It just seems bolder and I really like that. Thanks for sharing.

[@vivianbunch1963]

Shirley ribbon pour👍❤️❤️❤️

[@cryssiehd]

Thank you so much for sharing! I live see all the different outcome and techniques ❤️

[@debragoodwin2316]

The 5th pour is my absolute favorite 😍 the others not a fan of them.

[@nansnook3920]

It's so much fun watching to see what the results are in the end. One thing I learned is that some paints are heavier than others. I watched LeftBrainedArtist. He breaks everything down so you can understand how different colors react. Which will float on top, which are heavier, overpowering, how pearl, irredecents, opaques etc react together. He even breaks down how much paint should be used per canvas size. He's quite interesting & definately kwft brained.😅😅 You do learn alot.

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thank you

[@cathyclemmer2059]

Thank You for sharing your time and talent with us. You are so awesome Claire.

[@kaylewis1385]

last is my fav

[@diannesammut3103]

It is amazing the different results you can get with different techniques.

[@candiceshull9746]

Also this was helpful for me, Earning how much purple Does dominate. 🤩🥰

[@kimwignall8070]

My favourite is the ribbon pour. Thank you for sharing x

[@estellehinds2277]

I like them aall

[@robinmccorry5795]

I love the last two! I think maybe the artist you were thinking of was George’s Seurat?

[@ritarezendebrites2391]

My favorite is the last one because one can see the different colors and all those cells. Love it.

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thank you 😊

[@trudyj265]

I like 1, 3 and 5. No 4 for me is just a little too busy for me. When it was first done with a little torching it was better. Love you work and enthusiasm tho Claire. You are so infectious and I just love watching your work. Bless you 😃

[@emilyflotilla931]

#5 is a stunner! ❤️🕯

[@annicasart6654]

I think 3 is the best , but They are al Beautiful

[@glendalangley1877]

I like them all. Each piece brings something new.

[@shaylenehubbard4026]

2 and 5 are my favorite. Love the color in 5 and the depth in 2. I would totally choose 3 over 4 though.

[@busybee7169]

My favourite is the ring pour, so much depth and detail 🥰

[@Jennygeee]

My favourites are number 1 and number 5, thanks for doing this and sharing Claire xx

[@pattisoutherland3791]

Fun! I like the swirly ribbon pour best 🥰

[@joanneralstinart5735]

Your experiment is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing!!! I love when you experiment! Not sure which I like best. It’s between the straight pour and the last one. First and last 😂.

[@ansiemarais9059]

Thank you. I love the last one

[@markzeman2518]

Great information and help here! Without silicone, #3 imo and #5 my favorite comparing the two silicone pours. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@mariebaggstrom8066]

Third is the best I love it 2nd is good too all diffrent.watching the last must say is a tie with ,3rd.

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thank you 😊

[@vonnaanderson4036]

one and five, thank you.

[@kylieaddison9915]

Number 4 is my favourite, I can see where you got Monet from with this painting, I have loved his art since high school.

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thank you 😊

[@kathleenvaughan5141]

Love the last one #5! I love the cells❤️

[@Unicity61]

Number 5❤

[@AcrylicArtandSoul]

I enjoy your experiments. My favorites are 1 & 5.

[@1muttsfan]

Very well done comparison, and the paintings are very interesting. I also like it when my paints combine against all expectations and surprise me. The only suggestion I have is that you move your camera a little slower on the closeups, as it seems like your focus has a little trouble keeping up.

[@teresacano5772]

I ❤ #4!!

[@rainbowacrylicsbyclaire]

Thank you

[@karenmarsh7484]

Great video Claire! Love the last one 😄💜

[@margaretwithers6614]

Beautiful pieces and purple IS my favorite color. I liked the #5 best. The colors are most pronounced in that one. I absolutely loved this experiment. Hugs :)

[@Suekyle]

So fun thanks

[@lorrietavares1669]

I like the 5 Tj one the best.

[@julieketchum9551]

They are all so pretty! I Think my favorite order is: 3, 5, 2,...1 & 4 are a tie for forth. I can't decide!

[@janellekm]

My two favorites are both the diagonal ones. Love the pink in the last one. Just my colour preferences, didn't like the blue or so much of the blue (or purple). Looks blue on my screen. I liked that green paint. The one you don't look is the best, you are looking past colourful cliffs into a gorge with the river flowing through. I love it!
