Stir silicone oil - VS - Not stir - fluid acrylic painting with different cells

[@curtriceennis2924]

There's more cells when you stir the silicone in the paint, but, there's a prettier "pattern" when you *don't* stir it in. Both are pretty, but, I think I like the "less - celled," non-stirred one, the best.

[@gavynrothaermel5598]

I think it depends on what you are going for though. If you want a more uniform painting then don't stir, but if you are going for a more "explosive" look then I would stir.

[@itsameelliot]

Honestly, I would've probably even liked the paintings more with no cells at all. They looked so pretty next to each other. xD

[@sheridan7475]

Just barely stir

[@KrolRic63]

It is in effect very interesting...

[@therealrobinbullock]

Better.

[@adriac5883]

Is it just me or does the two pictures look like their from one picture next to each other like those multi canvas paintings. 😊

[@-insertpunchlinehere-]

Not just you

[@lilymcalister1825]

Its just you!! .....Lol!!! Naaah I was thinking the same thing. I like them both. Kewl project!! Ty for sharing!!💜💜

[@SharonBenson2674]

Nope

[@grizzlymausbear9937]

They really do and that‘s fascinating !

[@kathycabe658]

Yes the same, but one. Has oil mixed and the other not. Compared.

[@Beth_Amphetamine]

I’d like to see you do one where you stirred the oil into only on color and left the rest unstirred. That could be an interesting pattern.

[@doggydog246]

“Naples yellow red” Some call it orange

[@spy33r]

looks definitely orange 😁 to me

[@wanderfulwolf4898]

i live in naples fl not italy lol but i love the color even more knowing it home lol

[@DragonSlayer-ho4mi]

Both are gorgeous. I couldn't choose. peace by a river, or a lost in the shuffle. either way, i could spend a long time looking. lol

[@markjapan4062]

NOT ORANGE

[@MistySpring]

I'm drawn to the left one (not stirred) but love how they are both fun to look at.

[@Marma91]

I prefer the left one, but love to see how both techniques affect the final result!! Super well done, congrats

[@golddragonette7795]

Love the non stirred side, the extra subtlety in the colour blend is gorgeous

[@CJDe-kx8of]

Well I'll be darn! I never imagined that there could be such a difference. Cool experiment and good to now know! Thanks.

[@thisdollslifejenna3841]

I like both as well & I do that too. Lastnight, I did one with over-stirred Silicone oil, ( swipe technique), & followed it up with a 2nd one with several drops of silicone; not stirred, ( swipe & tilt technique), both turned out nice. Thanks for sharing!

[@louiselyon3849]

Thank you for such a great demo, it's so helpful to see how differently they turned out.

[@angeepanjee]

I think I'll be stirring my silicone in every time now.Beautiful results!!💜👍

[@KimAtkins60]

Beautiful! Thank you for these instructional videos! Again I must comment that I enjoy SO MUCH that there is no talking!!!

[@ChannonWW2214]

Well I like the results of both look like the non stirred made like fish fossils, the other stirred typical cell results. Awesome vid :-)

[@evelynmay2192]

[@janebrownell6828]

[@bluemoonie8817]

Thank you for sharing this test. Both turned out awesome, each in their own way 😃 ! Very informative & educational.

[@annegonzalez7939]

I love them both equally. They both have devastating appeal and formidable charm.

[@FIONA21ful]

Stirring it in I was told will give you much smaller cells , while not stirring gives larger more unusual shaped cells. This proves that lesson perfectly. I like both and they go together side by side beautifully.

[@br40504]

Thank you very much for the comparison. I am a beginner and know there are people that would buy either one. This gives me many ideas to work on.

[@staciary1751]

Both are so unique & gorgeous. Im partial to more cells but love both xo

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Wow, what an interesting experiment! Dramatic difference in the 2 techniques. Love them both. Guess it depends on what you’re after as to whether you decide to mix or not. Thanks for sharing! I’ve done only 2 acrylic fluid pours. On one I dribbled the silicone every which way all over the paint after I poured it. What a cool effect I got. It created a bumpy textured look, as if it were done with oil paints. Had to wipe off the excess silicone once the paint dried, but that’s no big deal. Left a wonderful shine to the cured surface.

[@gwenwagner6308]

WOW! Thank you for that demonstration. Very informative.

[@nannermakuk]

Thank you for the comparison. Another good learning technique for different results.👍

[@harrietbennett1474]

I'm learning so much thru your tutorials..thank you for every post

[@tracy9792]

I prefer the picture that you didn’t stir the oil in to the paint.l have all the things I need but didn’t know how to use the oil and you have answered my questions,l am looking forward to having a go at this now. You You explained this project perfect,l have watched a few videos of how to do this and you explained this perfect,thank you for that.

[@nonothebot]

It is even more interesting to compare two slightly different technics. Excellent.

[@nancy9704]

Either effect is amazing, depending on the type of cell growth you're trying to achieve, I guess. Thank you for the experiment. I gleaned some wonderful new information from this video.

[@MigueLink]

Thank you so much for your videos. Very inspiring

[@SalemSphynx]

I totally thought 1 on left would have more cells but both look awesome! I gotta try stirring my paint w/silicone as I havnt been doing that! Thanks!!!

[@FigsFrogPrince]

Fascinating comparison, thank you for inspiring us!

[@littlefeather9709]

Awesome experiment pours. I personally don't like to use silicone. I like Dimethacone instead. It brings cells also. For those who don't know it's in some hair products like coconut oil and conditioners. We in the USA use OGX coconut serum. You just have to read the back and hopefully Dimethacone will be near the beginning of the ingredients. Titus, thank you for your hard work and sharing with us. Love your work very, very much.

[@dutchgala7492]

Also *KY jelly in drops* which isn't 100% dimethicone like the coconut. Love that coconut smell =)

[@bonnieambrosia8510]

I def prefer the non-stirred version, so much more interesting! Thank you!

[@karinloewenzahn]

Beide, ....einfach nur wunderschön, vielen Dank.

[@rippi37]

Interesting experiment.....interesting result.....both cool pics.... I can't decide - some days I prefer cells , other days....no cells

[@imagindigO2]

I love the stirred one, reminds me of the interconnected-ness of roots or some huge organic organism 🥰

Thank you! I actually like the non-stirred version better, I think!

[@nephtari]

Both so beautiful... but the stirred one full of cells is my fav 👍

[@tessymurdock8249]

Good demo! I can see in the non-mixed silicon oil pools in certain areas allowing cells whereas the mixed one has more uniformly distributed cells.

[@pursaveer9027]

I'm watching these videos before I try one, but it occurs to me that putting pushpins into the corners on the back of the frame might be handy?

[@gillykubeart]

Thank you that is an excellent example on stirred or not stirred, do you mind if I put your link to this video on my channel and Facebook art page for my followers to see the reason I advise to stir in silicone for more cells? Tia

[@AndreaFettweis]

Interessanter Versuch! Beide Ergebnisse sind toll, aber was mir am Bild mit dem getropften Silikon besonders gefällt, ist, dass die Zellen sich nur in bestimmten Bereichen bilden. Dadurch wirkt das Bild ruhiger und fokussierter. Danke!

[@kathykov1]

I must say, that I love the one that you stirred 💜

[@andrewsimpson1892]

You get more cells if you stir the silicon in! I like both! looks great! another great way is to splash fine silicone.

Да я тоже в работах удивляюсь-цвета одинаковые,а силикон действует по разному!для меня это просто чудо!мне очень нравится этот процесс!!!

[@MsSevuk]

А я не поняла. Справа без силикона , а узор интереснее. Слева с силиконом и узор местами. У других мастериц наоборот получается. Не поняла я.

[@Остановите_Землю_Я_Сойду]

@@MsSevuk Силикон был добавлен и справа, и слева. Разница была только в том, что слева силикон просто капнули в стаканчик и не размешивали, а справа силикон размешали. Поэтому справа получился узор на всей поверхности картины, а слева в некоторых местах

i see a lot of people bringing up Trypophobia, but i guess i don't have it ... as bad... as cells don't bother me one bit.. even when someone connects the word to the image.... must just be one of those things you can have from mild to strong any who, i love when fluid artists do experiments, as i have to wait to be able to get paints for the canvas i have, i cant just play around, so its helpful to see others try all this stuff out. By the time i can afford a few paints, i will prob have enough knowledge to dive right in :D I love all your work

Why when I do a flip cup with Silicone, I have tons of cells that form immediately when I pick up the cup, which stretch into what I call ‘ducks feet’ patterns. But your cells don’t appear until after you tilt the canvas and use heat gun? Ty

I have silicone in an aerosol and I just put one quick squirt in each cup. Seems to work for me.

Idk if youve tried this or not but what happens when you do the pour on the right vs a pour without silicone then spray bottle the silicone on and heat gun ?

[@darsmith3448]

Hello! I like this video! Thank you for the comparison. I can almost see how the silicone stayed concentrated. I am new and learning and do not want to assume too much! Rafael of RADAcrylics will stir in his silicone on the bottom layer of the cup. This is just another technique idea. As I am learning, I like to share ideas. This is a wonderful community where many of us come to learn! As we should be forever grateful, and gifting back will come. Just as we should gift forward! OK then, thank you!
