Won’t b for few but I am going back to pouring ..as soon as manchild goes back to work, winter shows and classes are over .. so winter fun will commence soon! 💜 I WILL take the challenge .. but after the New Year .. it may take me multiple attempts to “walk away” tho haha

[@andyr8625]

I 'tried it'...I had an ok looking thing going on,then THE DEVIL made me touch it and it turned into a weird universe type painting...I have to remember to keep it simple,hell it should be easy,thats the way I live my life...lol

Did you apply clear acrylic to it later or leave it like it is? I loveeee it!

[@josiecapps2555]

Since I’ve been watching you for a while, I’ve started painting the edges with the background color. And it really makes sense to me. It takes away the stress of making sure they are well covered. And for someone like me, who can easily stress out, I don’t think of it any more. Thank you for your art and passing on your experience. 💫

[@MelyDartist]

My pleasure and thanks for sharing this :) why not make our life easier when we can right?

[@josiecapps2555]

I agree and thank you❣️

[@lee-annblackburn3802]

Hi! Beautiful job! Newby here, so do you paint your sides with the mixed acrylic and paint brush then let it dry? Great idea!!

[@Amariiiiie]

I literally was screaming “Tilt it!” as you were debating about it. Lol I’m glad you did! Love the beauty of its simplicity. Beautiful colors!

[@jenhendricks183]

I could have watched you pour that paint all night! So satisfying! And I totally tried tilting my laptop to "help" you tilt hahaha. Love these colors and how it turned out! I would've never thought to do a black background, as opposed to white. This is gorgeous!

[@brendasmith529]

I am so glad you tilted! You were correct that it looked incomplete! Beautiful!💜

[@kellie77381]

Doubled the speed of playback...less talking and faster pour. Love!! The colors are so pretty!!!

[@belindaladlie1619]

Funny! I found myself holding my breath, wanting it to keep moving. I love it! I’m glad you helped it along!💚

[@kathiereynolds2809]

Wow. So nice to watch something turn out so cool! It looked so fluid. I’m inspired to try this simple Mely D go for it technique.

[@Dianafairymother]

I think this is the best pour I’ve ever very seen. Amazing.... can’t wait to try it! ( when my new paints arrive on Wednesday!) Thankyou!!

[@galenyoder5020]

This is an amazing piece . Beautiful work

[@karenjoy9997]

This video was so good, and your Art is simply beautiful. I’m def going to try this.

Uuuuggghhhh! I felt you wanting to tilt! Definitely gonna do this!✌✨💖😊

[@catmeifyoucan4649]

That was awesome. I can see so many different things in it..a yellow sand coastline on the right, a facial profile on the right too. Beautiful work, you did great!

[@dabstars1546]

? Usually when I'm watching stuff, the thought "hey, go dig out your phone and play with it instead of watching what you're watching" doesn't appear. So. Yeah... bizarre notion.

I did this today. I moved it. lol. I thought I didn't like it but I walked away from it for a few hours and when I came back it looks like an eye. I love it. Thanks for this awesome video.

[@MelyDartist]

Yay that's so cool! Happy for you :)

[@reneeharrington3599]

Great job love the colors and you have a face on the right side with the line. Amazing

[@karenkelleher989]

I just bought your coffee mug....So what if there's paint everywhere..... Love it!

[@karenkelleher989]

I like it SMOOTH to start with, too! So many others just swipe it all around, and then pour paints, and they may wait a second too long, and then they have like lines and/or folds underneath. I like smooth! I am doing this right now. If it comes out, I'll post it.

[@MelyDartist]

I agree 100%!!

[@christinebrown7934]

Gorgeous!! Yayyy on the tilt. You did good! You alwYs do cuz you are a talented artist! ❤️👍

[@MelyDartist]

That's so cool! I'm happy for you and glad you like my videos :)

[@jenniferblattner6605]

You should post a picture of your 1st pour! I'd love to see it. I am so intrigued by Mely's work and how she keeps everything simple. One of these days, I may attempt to try this with my 8 year old daughter who absolutely loves art - especially painting!

[@KeenyNewton]

Loved this pour and the result is out of this world .. 🔥

[@steeeez77]

Turned out really great! And I definitely could NOT have waited as long as you did! I enjoy watching ,you always keep it 💯 .😉😎

Love your stuff as always, you really have a knack for picking out colors and making them work well together.

[@MelyDartist]

Thank you so much :)

[@impeached]

I like your no nonsense approach. The "cell pours" never look as good after they do all the hooplah to it. Never do they just leave it. Thanks for coming the closest I have ever seen for all the pours on You Tube, you showed great restraint! You are funny without knowing how funny. Keep it up. I will watch, esp if they are all this simply done. Thank you.

[@MelyDartist]

Love this comment. Thank you for taking the time to write in and I'm glad you like my videos :)

[@daniellezepess]

What a great idea to pour the black first to ensure full coverage & help the rest of the paint spread. Gonna have to try this myself! (and I love the final product - well done!)

[@julligiles1249]

I see the face, that's so awesome!! you do incredible work you are blessed with a great talent!!

Over the last few days I’ve watched countless people try these “Fluid” style paintings and they were all really bad IMO.. then I came across this one and I absolutely L❤️VE IT.. this was absolutely beautiful.. this reminded me of a beach with waves coming to shore.. theme as so cool.. but it also reminded me of something we could see in Space as well.. really really liked this 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️😊. SUBSCRIBED ✔️

[@MelyDartist]

Thank you so much Louis :)

[@jro9365]

While watching this I had the overwhelming urge to want to tip it the other way towards where the end with the large black area with only the small line separating the colors but I never have been good at leaving well enough alone. Lol. But I definitely wanna try this with the same colors . I love the look. I'm pretty new to pouring so I'm always trying to watch & learn as much as I can Thanks for sharing. !!! Very cool piece !!

[@bestallwaysful]

Beautiful yes I did see the face it was amazing thanks for sharing!!

[@ArtbyBrooke]

Oh I can't wait to try this!!!

[@HiddeninYeshua]

Love it! I found a great hack. I don't like fighting to get the paint out from my nails and around my cuticles so I put vasoline under the nails and around my cuticles. Works great!

[@josephstanley200]

Mary Jane Roberts Iv done that and used the silicone I use as well

[@jessicaadriane4726]

I wish I had seen this comment last night! My nails are all black right now 😆 it looks like I've been digging in dirt.

[@YorkshireLassWithClass]

That’s a great tip, thanks 😊

[@lisagerald4615]

Mary Jane Roberts plzz everyone plzz wear gloves I liked to lost 2 fingers from not wearing gloves all paints is toxic? I have proof but trust me you do not want to see photos!! And it absolutely kills you around the clock I suffered 6 months plzz just be safe everyone I can’t make no one wear them but if you seen photos of my hands everyone would never ever not miss putting a glove on !! God bless you all be safe plzzz !!! Lisa

[@lisagerald4615]

Correct my self on the gloves had wore gloves but took break ran back out and forgot to put them on , a few Minutes went by I then realized I forgot to put on , so put on finish painting later that evening is when the side effects hit started itching swelling so bad they burst open ? I hv painted many times when you g no gloves maybe paint has changed sure it had . But it caused me 6 months of total nightmares And fighting to save my hands and fingers . I just don’t want anyone to have to ever go thruway I did just want to help everyone to not make the mistake I did for about 15 min??? God bless care about you all Lisa

It looks good and balanced. Your blue popped when you slightly tilted both ways, so gut instinct was bang on.

I will have to try this. I am new to your channel. The way you finished pouring it turned into tree rings

[@carolecoote1926]

Beautiful outcome.

[@LisaMacInnes]

I don’t know if I can do it, just like you the temptation to tilt it is almost to great! Lol 😝 I will try this in next few days once I finished setting up my studio. Love the way your painting turned out.

[@ullinerenberg1599]

Love it. It looks very nice without the tilting. I like the negative space.

Mel, It is rather like looking at the silhouette of earth out in space. Loved it. But who can be that strong. I was watching on my iPad and tilting it, ha. ha. Cheers Marie ‘downunder ‘

Simple. Simply beautiful! Glad you dared to tilt a bit. Some artist ( Maybe Clyde or Bob Ross?) once mentioned that those of us with tremors are ahead of the game. Obviously tremors are a benefit to the abstract artist, but even in realistic landscapes..."There are no truly straight lines in nature." :)

You are so right :) thank you for sharing!
