Well now I know why my yellow keeps vanishing. I've been working upside down. Another very helpful video, thanks so much.

Yellow is also tricky because a lot of yellows are transparent which makes them disappear even more. You can try mixing in some titanium white (just a bit) to help them be a bit more opaque too.

You are brilliant David. Your scientific approach to the paint is fascinating. I loved your use of a lava lamp to show the rise and fall. Thank you.☮️💖🎶

As always Marcey, you are more than welcome. Lava lamps are doing the same thing we want to do as acrylic pour artists just in a more pronounced way and using air and heat to facilitate breaking up surface tension and buoyancy.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

I totally agree! And I want to paint out to anyone that reads this that you CAN do pouring. Some people it comes more naturally but you can totally learn, and I think that learning is much easier than traditional drawing or painting. At least that is by far the case for me.

@@LeftBrainedArtist so glad you did! Maybe you have an easy answer to another problem I can’t yet resolve. Using artist’s loft white and water base paint and tube colours/water colour paints and Dutch pour technique on both canvas and tiles, the white gradually creeps over the colours, leaving little patches of colour. I’m getting loads of lacing and cells. Consistency is the same for all mixes and runny enough to blow out with mouth or hairdryer. I’m happy to keep wasting paint but if you can suggest a solution it’ll save me time and materials. Maybe the white should be a little less viscous ( thin and thick are such ambiguous terms in fluid art)? The problem was even worse when I mixed in Floetrol

Hi David, another wonderful presentation on "how to". I got the concept - thick falls and thin rises. The weight of pigment determines if paint is thick or thin? Thinner paints rise and make cells. We'll give it a try.

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

Not thick and thin. Dense and light. You can manipulate thick and thin a little bit to help make their be more or less "pigment" per ounce which does affect density slightly but not as much as choosing the paint with dense or light pigments. Hope that makes sense.
