Simple Is Best - 14 (Spray Paint & CELLS)

In this video I use spray paint on top of my wet fluid painting to create a different react. Sometimes cells, sometimes webbing, sometimes dots. It all depends on the brand and color that is underneath. Fluid art is science!

Spell bound watching this. I love how you are so willing to go outside of the box, thank you I love the colors. It really reminds me of a flyover of a city at night.

[@joradcliffe565]

Another superb overall look from a combination of different factors and effect. Thanks for closeup of Amsterdam spray can, pleased to know it is a water based acrylic which fits with behaviour better than an oil based paint.

Very cool and impressive

[@dulceteixeira9097]

wow it is gorgeous

[@MaryClineMitchell-MVM]

You are brave - it’s awesome!! I just bought some liquitex spray paint and yours is The first video where I see this technique. I really love pink, but it gets lost when I use it - I’ll figure it out...As you say this is a science! Thank you for posting:)

[@oregonfanlisa]

Oh my goodness!! You are so brilliant! When your video began, I thought you might spray it in the cup as a layer separator or something. Literally spraying it on the wet paint blew my mind! I’ve been toying around with the enamel paint that comes in those little glass bottles but haven’t landed on anything cohesive. I’m going to play with the spraying instead! ❤️

[@piecesinart7880]

Whoa👁👁! Effects are amazing. Like a portal in space looking at a tropical island. Thought it was cool before the spray paint.... and then 💥 you took it to the next level!!!❤️

[@sushigilmour9336]

Absolutely bonkers effects. Love it!

[@susanweidman4389]

Hi Mely, I am unable to buy the Amsterdam spray paint in the US. Can you let me know what ingredients I should look for in another brand? Sorry to bother you so much. That is what happens because you are exceptional!

[@lisajacobus4864]

Very cool!!

[@maryamghorbani1]

I loved it thanks❤️

[@sandrabuchholz2301]

What an innovative technique! I was wondering if Amsterdam spray paint was the only one to give this effect? Most of the art supply stores in my area are closed for now. Amazon carries Liquitex spray acrylic. Have you tried it or other brands?

[@cynthiawilson8294]

Great perspective and composition piece. I do like looking at it very much. Any thoughts or concerns about varnishing?

[@MelyDartist]

Thank you! And nope no stress about varnishing. I'll spray varnish like usual :)

[@cynthiawilson8294]

Cool. Time to play...

[@lindabarthel1446]

Very cool💜

[@josiecapps2555]

Unbelievable ❣️

Hi there Can you please tell me where I could find the Amsterdam spray paint (aerosol) in Montreal or in Canada? Your tutorials and your paintings are truely amazing! Thanks for your answer! Dany from Laval Quebec.

Hey Dany, take a look at DeSerre or Michaels :)

I won't ask why. Pretty crazy.

[@articufixrubin3106]

Cool 😎 you are awesome! Out of curiosity would you recommend torching or patience?

[@MelyDartist]

Thanks ! I'm not sure what you mean.. I don't torch normally.

[@floringavrilas5050]

Hello. I am Florin from Romania and I would like some advice. Using your method with pouring and acrylic spray, I had to give up painting more than once because the spray coagulated like a thin, wrinkled layer of paint under the spray. The crusts formed in this way slid into the mass on the canvas when tilted and compromised the painting. I used several types of spray but it doesn't seem to be due to him, his brand. Did it happen to you too? Do you have any idea what could be the cause?

[@Purplecallalily1]

Cool effects! What does it look like in the dark?

[@MelyDartist]

I didnt check 🤔 I wonder if it will show with the spray paint on top of it

[@jankowaluk5737]

kinda crazy, right❓ ahhh, right ❗️ 😊❤😮

[@mandyhall1674]

Love it - gorgeous. Stay safe :)

[@janetvanscoyk6016]

Hello there this is Janet from Colorado I do enjoy watching you and your experiments ! I have had a little dilemma lately and wanted to get your views on it if I could. The art league that I am in has questioned me about my fluid art / p o u r painting being Fine Art. I of course feel that it is and yours certainly is beautiful and I consider it fine art. They are thinking they may not let me in their yearly art show. They said it is up for discussion. I was wondering if you have an opinion on this subject? Maybe you would have some beautiful words that I could send their way to prove that fluid art is and can be fine art. Thank you for any help you have on that subject. One of your many fans Janet

[@MelyDartist]

I believe this is an ongoing question. It has been since I started and got somewhere with it. Somewhere meaning when I started having control over my results. Some people will say it is and others not. It's a question of perspective. Personally I believe it's a question of composition, and materials do have a little play. I think that if you are using glue, it's easier to say your art is more of a craft and lower quality. If you're using really pouring medium than it adds to the quality making it easier to call it fine art. If it looks muddy, the colors don't contrast and the overall look of it looks like you dumped paint and tipped the canvas. Than it's easier to call it a craft rather than a well composed finished result which could easier be called fine art. That's all in my head though. My opinion and how I see it. The real issue I believe is that nobody knows how hard fluid art is until they try it. Which is often the case of those who say it's not fine art. Because it does somewhat seem like child's play sometimes. But it's not. It's a mix of math, science and intuition. Practice. Not sure if that helps but it's my vision. Its abstract. We all see it differently.

[@karenmanson1782]

👋 Janet . How does the Fine Art association define work the like of Jackson Pollock , Gerard Richter, Rita Agnes, completely different styles and using different techniques. I suppose using paint, paint extended compounds of a art quality not craft quality may be the difference ? Be interested in what you think and found out.

[@janetvanscoyk6016]

@@karenmanson1782 hi Karen thanks for your interest. It was really strange that last year 2019 annual art show that I won the judges choice Award with my fluid art and the piece even sold at the art show and I was commissioned by the buyer to do a companion piece. I guess since it was my first year in the show and others had been there for 20 years or so they decided they did not like the competition or the fact that I was new but this year they are talking about not letting me enter fluid art. They are calling it acrylic pour and they said that is a craft. Very disappointing for sure. Anyway I appreciate the concern and thanks for any input. Stay well Janet

[@shanedogacrylics5740]

It looks like an opening in space or something!

[@gloriveerosa6356]

Bello... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@KsanovaDesigns]

did the spray paint create the cells or did you put something in the paints to create them?

[@ooohlaa13]

my question also, looks like silicone presence???

[@brucesr8744]

you are on to something, keep going.

[@annemiekebelgraver7400]

Such a wonderful painting, never seen before! Stay healthy!

[@rosanneridler3812]

I tried this a few days ago boy was it smelly!, some cool results not as pretty as yours . I'm going to use a mask next time check out coz creations she sprayed into her cup ,really cool effects
