The 2nd technique, the 'swoopies' is what everyone's grandparents' ceilings look like 🤣 (except it's all white and chunky)

[@tiffanyhurt2977]

My current ceilings rn 😅

[@princessfaith925]

for the gummy bears, pour a thin layer of resin over the bears themselves so they don't mold over time!!

[@abc-eb4zh]

It looks like she did !

[@jaclynvalenti6419]

its gonna happen anyways resin doesnt stop thatr

[@vampchomp]

G-gummy bears.. mold?

[@LivvXiao]

May I suggest “pouring medium” with the liquid pour paintings? It doesn’t thin out the paint or like de-saturate the color and helps with the kind of fluidity you need without wasting a ton of white paint you used

[@amym.1349]

Yes, I second this! I use "floetrol." I also add a couple drops of silicone oil to create cells in my paint pours.

[@LivvXiao]

@@amym.1349 silicon oil is my best friend! I love the effect it gives!

[@PudgeySeal]

My thing with the mop one is that it's very obviously derived from a form of traditional Japanese caligraphy art (may also exist in other parts of Asia, but I only personally know Japan) whoch uses a very large caligraphy brush, black ink, and very well known for the 'smack technique' and the way, at least in this video, that it's framed like this lady came up with this 'new unique idea' feels a bit weird... there's a lot of culture and tradition behind the art form, and people dedicate years to learn and master the art and tradition to keep it alive, and for all of that to go completely unacknowledged and reduced to 'mop art'... like, a lot of traditional Japanese arts are dying out so I don't think many would be against people trying and adapting techniques like this to keep it alive, as long as it's done with respect, but some hint of acknowledgement would be nice...

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

I was thinking the exact same honestly! I knew what it was when I saw it. Like a recreation of that style.

[@ambersmith2612]

Her profiting off of a traditional japanese technique with no credit is giving...

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

@@ambersmith2612 Lauren or the person who made the video she followed? Bc Lauren is Japanese. Half of her comes from her Japanese mother.

[@Dandygirl_94]

I'd love to see the complete and utter chaos that would ensue if Lauren ever tried the swinging bucket art 😅

[@amym.1349]

I wish I had an endless supply of massive canvases and an outdoor space to practice mop art!

[@mycahostique2709]

More contents like this pls! Lauren's videos always make my day better. 😍

[@aviva7184]

I really like the-the end products. However, I think that if u were to add the paint directly into the pan it would've gone a little smoothly. But other than that, love it. 🦋

[@tay_waz_here_3773]

Am I the only one absolutely in love with the mop painting? Like I would so hang that on my wall lol. It would also go sooo well with the current background for these videos, ya know?

[@kstuartsfilms]

the olivia rodrigo t shirt 😭stop love that! the fact that lauren is a fan of liv makes me soo happy omg

[@selenagaytan5394]

You can also use alcohol in a spray bottle for bubbles in resin

[@prochey69]

As a custodian, I approve of these methods

[@HAppytobeHer]

You could do a whole series of forbidden snacks.. gummy worms, peach rings, Swedish fish

[@rebecarojas6851]

I feel like the dustpan would have been easier if you loaded the paint on the dustpan first then released it.

[@Championgirl246]

Granted I haven’t watched tutorials but I wasn’t sure why she poured the paint in cups first. I would have though you just put the paint on the dustpan.

[@Ellie_baby]

She also needed to cover the canvas with white paint so it would spread better

[@mariebunny]

I tried the "circle-y swishy swishy wooshy wooshy art" and looove it 🤣 thanks Lauren! Will be doing this sooo many more times & with friends

[@ievama]

Change “Expensive” diy piece to the black mop circle. It turned out amazing and would give your office a nice look!

[@emcgurk4715]

For the fluid painting an easy way to ensure that it's liquid enough is using a paint thinner called floetrol :)) you can also use pouring medium!

[@alyssatyra2284]

This is amazing! This would be an awesome series!

[@hyphyn]

Loved this video!! Really liked the Resin/Gummy bear art at the end - kinda makes me want to try it

[@JakeFelgate]

love how if I tried most of these they would go south but when Lauren does its perfect 😭

[@shivanishah5869]

You should’ve made the paint pours directly on the dust pan and then went on the canvas

[@ChlosterSays]

Add some gold accents to that mop painting and really bring out its potential

[@StrawberryLexey]

I'm extremely impressed with the outcome of all of these!

[@cassandraleexo]

Ouuu, sooooo excited to try this, more diys plllleaaaeeee, I’ve been loving the cool diys lately ❤️

[@missoverlord7056]

Thanks for introducing me to the swishy swishy painting style 😂 will be my next paint project. Reminds me of the videos of the people making dragons with one consistent paint stroke.

[@Championgirl246]

I loved that first piece! Definitely would hang it in my house.

[@cocobeans1964]

The gummy bear art gives iCarly vibes

[@amberspade15]

yay!! so excited to watch!!👏🏽💗

[@mycahostique2709]

Lovin the olivia rodrigo tee. On fire!

[@rockyember]

these were all SO CUTE! i have so much inspiration to get back into art now 💖

[@bill.e5675]

Ooooh definitely wanna try to make some art for my walls! LOVED ❤️❤️

[@LivvXiao]

The second liquid pour art reminds me of those rainbow airhead candies

[@justiine_n]

Use a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol for bubbles in resin :)

[@Dexy83]

I absolutely LOVE the 2nd piece!

[@brianneczechowski9209]

I’m obsessed with the second try of the swooshy dust pan! I need that in my home😍

[@kylercross5435]

Omg all the art is so cute!!

[@kasey3043]

love your videos lauren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤

[@Championgirl246]

I need an update on the gummy bears. I always worry food on art takes a turn.

[@mackenziejones9973]

Loved this video!!!

[@elisecohan4264]

I love your shirt Lauren 💜🦋👑✨

[@urmikariya5575]

Love you Lauren ☺️❤️ seriously can watch you hours 🤭💙

[@alishaaullybux]

love you DIY's

[@nybsbfan18]

It was calming to watch the first 2 diy 's !!!

[@clairedonnelly9803]

Loved this

[@millylarz]

I'm cracking up that she rated the gummy bears easier than the mop art🤣, girl that mop art was like less than 5 mins 😬🎨🖼.

[@user-ed3tm2ts2n]

This has to become into Series

[@8CheerleadingGirl8]

LOVE THIS VIDEO LAUREN

[@andriairaa]

omg i love the gummy bear art, definitely will diy!! it's so minimal yet so colorful

[@lestranged]

I thought with paint pouring you were supposed to paint the canvas white first and have that base still be wet when you pour the colors on, so that the colors will slide more on a wet surface. I have never actually done it, just watched a lot of videos and I thought they start with a wet slippery canvas.

[@emilyweaver4797]

Loved the gummy bear one! So cute and unique!

[@MarisaRobinsonBeauty]

The gummy bear art looks so awesome 😍 love it!

[@riyajha6087]

LOVE IT

[@joselyngranillo9719]

her SHIRT😍😍😍

[@alayshagreen]

this was quite entertaining

[@teenajopataytay]

Definitely should have thinned out the paint to help with the pouring. Also helps to add a thin white later on the canvas to make it easier to tilt and spread. If you can't get pouring medium, clear PVA and water works really well, or you can also add a few drops of silicon to create cells for a different look :)

[@laurenannlech]

Can you try tufting soon!!! I’m so intrigued

[@lillysfashun953]

These are all soo cute

[@alyssadana5011]

Love this

[@_karina0405_]

ughhh obsessedddd

[@thatsoely]

Love her diys since day 1

[@lexijean8761]

will the bears mold?😭

[@elecops9825]

Potentially, if they aren't fully covered, then any parts exposed to the air could go off, they might also go off if they're full of moisture. On the other hand, candies are really long-lasting, so they might be OK? 😂

[@diamonddustable]

I want to try that mop art! :D

[@stephdurkee]

love the second one so far the most

[@allyedunn]

Lauren really said Spencer Shay with that last one 😂 fire and gummy bears

[@dumplingdemi]

Ngl, I held my breath SO HARD when you were lighting that resin. 😅

[@toristoehr4699]

The first art piece looked like two ladies dancing!!! (White parts) super cool!!

[@anna-katharina6095]

The mop art kinda looks like when a little kid is playing around with paint

[@drewperdue4460]

for the first one, do the white and then do the dots in the pan!!

[@NoWayJose0_0]

The shirt 💜

[@viannahernandez9235]

Love your shirt

[@NoellaV]

Loved the resin bears

[@lilianr513]

[@nicoleabed2480]

@10:02 my brain: a phycologists office

[@parnikamathur2782]

[@kat-92]

I think you if you add some bubble wrap black stamp print and some gold leaf could elevate your Mop art 🎨 ❤

[@8CheerleadingGirl8]

YAYY LOVE U GORGEOUS

[@PaperHearts9807]

girl where did you get your shirt i am OBSESSED! but i cant find it online D:

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

Get a plastic toy shovel from a kids beach set to do mini of those one broom shovel things. I also put blobs of paint on a canvas and gently scrape across with the toy shovel and pick up most of it and then shmear that onto another canvas while the shovel is upside down. Just scrap across gently while upside down on the other canvas. Granted I dont use any flow crylic or any of that. Just like straight liquitex or blickcrylic. And sfter it dries I take watered down acrylic and splatter all over in several layers and blob sizes n stuff. And then after that I might even scrape some more paint across n do more water color style splats. Basically that’s one of my main styles and I layer until I am satisfied. I love colorful abstract art and also impressionist and expressionist pieces.

[@stephdurkee]

mop art POP OFF

[@azzabenismail4365]

Plz moreeeee of thesee vds

[@Kaitlynsulli]

[@tahreemmahnaz9353]

[@brandimunguia]

The swoopy painting would look good with some black or white lettering on it

[@amym.1349]

Can we see a DIY with Jeremy? :3

[@claireek]

The gummy bear art reminds me of Carly’s room from icarly with all the gummy bear stuff haha

[@kaylaunka]

Definitely doing the gummy bears ASAP

[@kenziealvari7281]

When you lit the gummy bears on fire it reminded me of the episode of ICarly when her gummy bear chandelier lit on fire 😂

[@samiraamarii9878]

Wow 😍

[@ninabeaver9337]

You should try the melting disco balls

[@mernapalanjian4678]

The second one is my favorite and I feel like you could Salut it to somebody

[@finryderforreal]

uhmmmmm where can i get that shirt!!! does anyone know plsss!

[@nicholem4831]

I don’t understand why you’re pouring the paint into cups….shouldn’t you be pouring the paint directly into the dustpan? That’s literally the whole point of doing it from the dustpan. You have a huge amount of control over the “design” (or- more accurately placement) in the pan and then the way its poured from the pan mostly keeps the paint placement, it just transfers the paint onto the canvas vs the “original” pours where there isn’t much control dumping from a cup or whatever. If you dump the cups into the dustpan and then pour from the dustpan the colors are gonna be REAL blended. Also, please don’t forget to paint the canvas w/a layer of white prior to pouring so that the paint slips.

[@DaphneGsell]

Love these but how do you craft with those nails ? I struggle with crafting and having nails so I can never have nails :/

[@dylansousa5571]

Great video
