Daaaamn, you gave that thing sickle cell anemia, thanks for the free lesson. May the Good Lord be with You !!

[@warmnightrain]

I've watched quite a few videos on acrylic pouring, and nearly purchased an ebook - then found your video. You make it crystal clear, your art is beautiful, and I really appreciate the music. Thank you so much, I think I'm on my way.

[@dorajennyowen]

l like you video ever good

[@marilynbarker8255]

warmnightrain Love this pour and I agree with the music... beautiful! So many many videos ruined with horrible music.

[@baylifranell]

I don’t understand what’s it’s mixed with to do that though? Acrylic paint by itself is not that liquidy and when mixed with medium it doesn’t give you this look with the cells😔

[@elyodllerret9586]

So basically, add silicon oil to any combination of colors.

[@berylwright2201]

Creating cells has been very problematic for me. I'm going to try this though. Thank you for demonstrating the technique. It's beautiful.

[@kristinehubert9371]

Thank you for this video I was having so much trouble getting cells and this helps immensely, can't wait to get started again.

[@CaTNiP_00]

YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!!!!!! ooooohhh how grateful I am!!! I WASTED A LOT OF COLORS POURING SILICON IN ALL OF THEM AND NEEEVER GOT THE CELLS!!!! Oh how I cried!!!!!!!!!! You gave light to my artistic life! 🌸💐🌼🌻🌹🥀🌺🍁🌞⭐️❤️💜💞💓💗💛💚💙💕💖

Thank you. If there is enough paint leftover, just take another canvas and lay it flat on top of it and lift. Also, it's fun to use the leftover paint to play around with swiping techniques. Sending big hearts your way, Jan

Jan I have tried floretrol and it made no cells. I use Apple barrel 2oz from Michaels and nothing. I do get cells from dimethicone. I also don’t get any from silicon. What am I doing right and wrong?

With this technique because Floetrol is used. Thank you!

[@janeschleppenbach357]

Interesting how you mixed the Floetrol, paint and alcohol ahead of time. I have tried a mixture of paint and floetrol ahead of time but not with the alcohol and just spraying in the silicone when doing the painting. Nice effect!

[@nancishufritz5499]

Where was alcohol mentioned?

Gosh that is beautiful!!

[@bigtimetorifan]

Hi- that’s beautiful! Great and easy demo for it. Can’t wait to try. One thing I wondered which hopefully you’ll see this and maybe have a solution is I see so many KZbinrs that seem to use a boatload of paint! Waymore than I’m using and I’m getting crazing. I have added the GAC 800 to some of my pours but I don’t know if that’s helping or if I’m not adding enough or maybe I’m adding too much I don’t have a formula for that. Regardless I think I’m gonna try this in next few nights!

You say you pour from a high level to help the cells to come. It's r'eally important ? ? And do you used also PVA instead or with floetrol ? Thierry from France...and thanks for the music.
