I haven't started with paint pours. I am on a small budget, so am learning all I can before starting so I can get the best materials I can afford without a lot of waste. Everything I learn watching your videos gets me that much closer to being ready to start. Thank you so much!

[@nonadobbs3]

There's no words to express how brilliant your research and information are. I made my first pour yesterday, after studying a lot of your videos and my main issue points (aside from a hair drier that wasn't strong enough) were all to do with paint density, and my white that sank to the bottom, like one of your other videos. I will most definitely be using your chart for every future painting I do, because it's stuff like that which really gives you the cutting edge of the mechanics behind every composition. Looking very much forward to the demo video of the chart, and seeing how to alter paint density to achieve more control! 🔬♥

Thanks Nona. Paint has a mind of it's own but there are a few things we can do to help nudge it in the direction we want.

[@jadevandeluitgaarden]

Thank you for this video and for the Acrylic Paint Density chart. You did so much work! I was surprised that even the Dutch brands that I use are in the chart. And looking at the densities answered a question that I had. I now understand why colors sometimes disappear in my paintings. It's because of the light density of my base paint (Talens Art Creation Ivory Black). A very useful video, thank you!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Glad to help. Just keep in mind that density controls movement of paint BUT cells have the added issue where the quality of the paint, the sheen, and the fillers that the brand uses can increase or decrease cells. That it why amsterdam paint cell way better than other brands. Those other factors AND the density.

[@SnarkasticSunny]

Me too in being right-brained gal; not so scientifically blessed (understatement!). I love how I can learn how science of mixing right type paints will, for instance, create cells even w/o silicone. My problem is that I ficus & it all makes sense...until the end. When I try to put it in my own words for notes, or recall what ya' said -- it's all "jumbly" in my head. I hate that! What I got (now) to recall upon trying is just: "Heavy paints go down & light paints go up...then magic happens & cells show up!" Sonehow, I think I missed sonething!?!

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

@@SnarkasticSunny If you do heavy paints on the bottom you need to do a flip cup so the heavy paints end up on top.

[@TrinaRaysTrekofLife]

@@SnarkasticSunny Lol, I agree! It's like it starts to make sense, then it doesn't, then it does. 🤣🤣 I think it's just one of those things that some of us have watch several times, then try it, then watch it again! Lol Happy Pouring!
