SOLD!! Open Cup Acrylic Pour #3

[@gladysamill335]

My story is similar, caring for my Mom while in a divorce. I stumbled upon this artform, and I found I'm pretty darn good at it. I'm thinking if it wasn't for those things, I would have never found I could. I love how kind you are while you paint... Thanks for that

[@jpacrylicstudio145]

I love the painting! I don't care for the music only. I enjoy hearing you speak about the painting, from start to finish. I look forward to your next project!

[@dgatez73]

Fabulous. I liked how you held it all in and then just lifted. I'm gonna try that one next. Great usage of the negative space too.

Pretty pretty pretty, blue and gold is always a winning combo in my book.

I did my first pour a few days ago and I was soooo happy. I had some bed risers that I had never used in my garage to sit my canvas on...they worked lime a charm. I'm loving this.

How lovely! I've run out of canvases & repainting some I'm not thrilled with, but I'm about to start hitting garage sales to look for tables to paint. 😉 I'm addicted to pour painting because of videos like yours! I finally made something other people like! I never got anything higher than a "pity" C in art in school growing up & o have found something I'm good at. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me!

[@SarahMackArt]

J is Scoobysmom oh that’s wonderful! I’m so happy to have inspired you ! Just be sure to prime canvases that have already been painted in. I learned the hard way...after 7 months paint from old pour started to bleed through. Ruined a couple of beautiful pieces. ❤️good luck on your yard sale finds! I’m certain everything will turn out beautiful 💕

Hi Sarah, I am just another fan of your imaginative, creations. Negative space, is a big thing for me, as acrylic pouring, can get quite busy, oncevit fills the canvas altogether. Could you remember, what size this canvas was, by any chance? For my next painting, a Tryptich, it is a toss up between trying this one or your latest: Oct 2020 Neuteal Open Cup Technique with metall7c gold accents/ acrylic pour/fluid art. Kindest regards, to my "Inspuration, Sarah". Vinnie

Hi Sarah , have been watching your Chanel for several weeks! ( Hate any sentence including Several ) but it's true! Love that you're not using silicone! Wearing your cardigan I totally get you but mine always come out as if they were paint splashed and not in a good way. Love your videos . Would like if possible you would look at some of my work? I'm more of an abstract painter but love all and everything to do with pouring! I often experiment with my abstract paintings with pouring techniques. Keep on doing what you do because you are phenomenal!!!

[@flowersflowers5070]

Is it necessary to use so much paint? I know it has to have enough for gravity to pull it in all directions but it seems an excessive amount of paint. All the videos I watch do the same.

[@riverotter68]

i always get little white spots in my pours when I use white paint

[@SarahMackArt]

Riverotter what kind of white paint are you using? I always torch after I put my base coat down because of air bubbles. The torch pops them. Always torch after your pour as well. You can let your paints sit over night to let the bubbles pop(they can appear after mixing)

@@SarahMackArt Wow. Thank you so much for the answer, I just started doing pour paint with my daughter, for fun, because she's a little KZbin junkie and wanted to try it.

Hi Im struggling with consistency How much water please x

[@SarahMackArt]

Base needs to be thin. It should run right off of stir stick and disappear in the cup of paint. The other colors not need to be Same consistency

[@youarecool9560]

Beautiful work have you heard anything from Molly art is she okay are you okay do you live in South Florida

[@Me-dl1tx]

I would love to try this pouring technique, however, I can't find a recipe that tells me how to mix the paints. Here's what I have. I'm hoping that you would be kind enough to help me. I use liquitex heavy body paints. I do have some liquitex Basics in titanium white that's pretty much the only tube I have that's more of a thin paint. And I also have a lot of the liquitex matte medium fluid mediums and gloss and varnishes. I don't have any silicone or anything like that or any of the floetrol or whatever that stuff is that people are using. Is there a way for me to achieve cells using the acrylics that I have? And if so, how can I do just like a small pour on top of a canvas or an acrylic painting that I've already been working on? For example, I kind of want to do just some small cells in a portion of the painting is that possible? Any of your expertise would be so appreciated. Thanks! Blessings

[@SarahMackArt]

So you can mix your Titanium white with a liquitex pouring medium and thin it down with water until it runs almost similarly to water. Then try and do the “swipe technique”. I did not use silicone but my white was very thin. Here I used decoart 24k and that naturally cells. As I mentioned above I use Floetrol and that seems to make cells as well when at a certain consistency. I’m not sure what consistency you are mixing your paints. Do you have access to Floetrol? Liquitex can be pricey.

[@Me-dl1tx]

@@SarahMackArt Hi! Thanks for getting back with me. I actually have all liquitex products right now. I'm sure I could order some floetrol but I don't have any at the moment. I was hoping that there would be a way that my liquitex pouring medium would help create cells but I wasn't sure. And I'm not sure as to the consistency but it looks like yours is pretty thin and like you said, it needs to be thin... Also, I've added distilled water instead of regular tap water. That's just so there's no rust or anything that can occur over time. Do you think that it would be worth it to invest in some floetrol and just add that? I've attempted this several times and one time I did get a little piece on the canvas that looked really great and did have these teeny tiny cells and we're super pretty and interesting and then the rest of it looked a big mess. LOL! I hate to keep wasting because like you said, liquitex is pretty expensive. I really wish I could achieve this look! You do such an amazing job. Thank you again! I really appreciate any tips and advice you have to offer. Blessings, Misti
