I'm just getting started with fluid painting. I'm currently using glue as my medium just because it is cheap in small quantities, so for this practice phase I'm in it seems to do the job. But I love the scientific approach you're taking with this and I'm excited to watch the rest of this series!

I made a pouring medium from 50/50 water & pva glue which I bought at the cheap shop. It cost $8 for a litre compared to $24 for the same amount of Floetrol, so for me was definitely cheaper. Didn't work very well though, I can't seem to get the consistency right, my paint is either too thin or too thick. My best result came from using this mix and adding a couple of drops of silicone to each colour. This has been driving me crazy for a while, I keep threatening not to even try and then I'll see someone else's video and get all enthused again. New friend for your channel here, keep on creating. Cheers

Consistency is the hardest part! I don't even usually use a medium in my personal pours, but that also depends on the paint I use. Keep trying, you'll get it right soon, I know it!

All paint makes/types have a different consistency so it’s best to get them to the same consistency with a little water and then add glue so they runny off your spoon like runny honey.

Try using regular Elmer's glue, not the washable stuff. The washable, unless you figured out a special mixture, doesn't bind with the paint so well and cracks. I actually like that affect, on some. I'm trying washable paint and glue and gonna see if there's a mixture with it that does work without cracking.

proper glue solution is about 60/40 glue to water ratio then mix roughly 50/50 with paint depending on paint this varies. My impression is that your glue/water/paint ratios where severely lacking water

This formual creates very watered down paint. I don't reccommend using it. As you can see in the video she used very little water and got a decent consistency. I damn near ruined my entire batch of 1 gallon paint colors, had to go back and add alot more paint to the mixture to get a reasonable consistency.

It was easier - visually - to see the difference thru the process vs one at a time 😊 I have read in various places that school glue vs glue all is completely different; that the glue all is better (even though they are both Elmer's). Why? I don't remember off hand.... Maybe worth comparing like you did with this video.

I believe the Main point is School Glue is it's Washable, and the Multipurpose Glue-All is Not Washable, So after it's dried the School glue could be wiped away easier if it got wet hence for cleanup, but otherwise they both look and dry the same. The Multipurpose Glue-All will be more permanent for archival.

There are many methods to pouring paint in the cup together to stop them from Mudding. its when u do the pour/flip cup/etc is the challenge along with that you have to spread it out & move it around the canvas which adds another challenge to making it either look worse or look better or keeps it the same just stretched. Floetrol by it self does breaks down the pigment subtracting from the depth of color even after dried. (Glue & Flotral mix works pretty good) Glue does cost more tho especially if you’re looking for the certain glue. Many different techniques may requires many different pouring mediums as all experiments. Lol ❤️ I love watching these videos and all different types of techniques and pouring medium used for certain techniques to get different results so thank you for this video I subscribed Keep up the good work

If you look at Julie Cutts from Australia/ 'pouring your heart out' on YT- she uses Glue All- not school glue- and gives the recipe somewhere in her fb group notes. Further to this theory- your colours WILL yellow in time ok? The difference with floetrol is that it is a non yellowing mix with a binder for extending pigment Colour without dilution unlike just water &/ glues.

Great insight! I haven't use the glue since testing it. I prefer floetrol or some instances or just water. I don't tend to keep many of my fluid paintings or more than a year or two, so I on't worry too much about yellowing.

For 1 gal (128 oz), it's $12.97, which comes out to slightly more than 10c per oz. The 128 oz of clear Elmers glue is $21.88, which is 17c per oz. Thanks for this information ising Elmers.

I've been trying to find a cheap pouring medium, and have come to realize that price is all about where you buy it from. I was comparing floetrol and elmers glue on amazon and Elmers was the clear winner there.. until I went and looked at the prices at walmart and lowes! Elmers went from $20 online to $10.88 at walmart per gallon, and Floetrol went from $30 to $14.67 at lowes. Is Floetrol a good medium to use? Every youtube channel I look at has different opinions on what to use. Personally I'm looking for the cheapest of the best. I don't like to substitute quality.. but I'd rather use this than the pricier liquitex and other brands if I can.
@RebelUnicornCrafts
@RebelUnicornCrafts 4 жыл бұрын
You're totally right about price changing by location! In my personal pours I don't typically use a medium, I use craftsmart or Anita's paint and water. But, that's my personal preference. I think that the best way to get the best value is to use what works best for you. There are tons of differing opinions out there and I don't think any are the true right answer, it comes down to personal preference. If you like using a medium and are price sensitive, I personally would go for Floetrol over either glue or specialty mediums like liquitex.

use pure PVA glue, so in this case elmer's glue ALL, not the diluted version, or any other pure pva brand, it will result in fact in less pigment loss due to the less addition of water, you should use a scale and % to make accurate testing, and of course a bigger sample size with different water % and glue % as well.

I'm new to your channel, refreshing that you just get to the point ;) I can get cells, no matter what I try. What is the correct blends for glue medium ( and why does it HAVE to be elmers gjue all, not school glue) I'm wasting paints and canvasses because I rarely like the result :(

And don't you get a lot of cracking just using water ?

Hi there! I find that the main thing that leads to cracking is how thick you leave the paint on the canvas to dry. If it's too thick when it's drying it cracks if it's floetrol, water, or glue. It might be the kind of paint you're using. I have tried some in the past that didn't get great cells. If you can get your hands on Anita's Paint, I always get cells with that with just water, and no other additions, and might be worth a try. Good luck! It just takes a little practice to figure out the right consistencies. Once you get it, you'll be off to the races, don't get discouraged too fast!

You concluded that elmer's glue is not that cost effective as floetrol.... In the states. Outside the states, elmer's is cheap and readily available whereas floetrol is not. I bought a liter of elmer's glue from a store nearby for 12 bucks. I then ordered a liter of floetrol online and paid 70 bucks including shipping.

So I have heard this pretty consistently, is there really an appreciable difference between Elmers's Glue All and Elmers School Glue? I'm so new at this and I've heard so many conflicting recipes.

What about the safety aspect of PVA glue? That's something worth looking into.
@hellekimery9537
@hellekimery9537 4 жыл бұрын
There is nothing to fear with PVA glue - hence why it's so popular as ' the white school glue ', been used with children now for eons. I learned that why PVA glue works as a binder, is that acrylic paints have similar structure so it goes well together

It can be! It seems to really change. Each time I do one of these videos, the prices fluctuate, pretty crazy. It also seems to depend on where you live. That being said, I think Elmers glue works better than Floetrol, so if can buy it cheaper, then it's a double win!
