No Medium vs Medium - Acrylic Pouring Experiment

[@amoredesignsuk]

I love the first pour without medium ❤

[@starmazaheri7448]

This was SUCH A GREAT, HELPFUL ,TO THE POINT, WONDERFUL RESOLUTIONand EASY TO UNDERSTAND video really in every way. It showed us exactly how to make pouring paints and illustrated what a difference acrylic medium make. I can't thank you enough and I subscribed with pleasure. Thank you for all your efforts.🥰😍👌👌💯❣🎯🎨

[@beverlyfrederick7670]

Like medium one... more large cells and vivid colors. Great experiment!

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you so much! :)

[@HowardMattix]

Well done the colors and composition and as well as the skill set are grand.

[@alexahernandez3454]

I didn’t know what would the results be with/without medium, but this helps! Thank you!!

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you!

[@g.e.2900]

Definitely with the medium! The defined lines are much better than the one without the medium. Thanks for sharing your experiment with us.✌🎨✌

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much! :)

[@vickigower8125]

interesting. I think you can get decent results without a pouring medium, but you definitely seem to be able to achieve more interest with the pouring medium imo. Thank you for sharing.

[@annbenson9760]

Great side by side. Ty

[@chainlinks07]

I can see the differences, and I think they both have their own charms. I guess it’s whatever your looking for. Thank you for sharing. I’ll keep the notes in mind. ❤ 😄

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much!

[@cpm9747]

I like the one without medium better. It has a softer texture to the lines. I suppose it all boils down to what you want out of the piece though. The one with medium has very lovely "crackling" (I think that's the term) which would look really nice in a variety of projects.

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much for the feedback!

[@kellymartin2796]

Love them both 💕 but the one with medium is definitely nicer

[@VizoliArt]

Thanks a lot!

[@GoreHealer]

I don't see much difference between them. But if i have to be meticolous, without medium the cells are smalliest but with medium i see on the canvas some colour cracks. To be honest i don't know if these particularities depends by the medium presence or not...but if i had to choose, i would choose the "without medium" one.

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much!

[@shibby1998]

Also when the product dries ,.... the paint without the medium tends to crack horribly .

[@mabo3506]

right hand pour has the silicone oil added so bigger cells and better definition but both look good. Thanks.

[@ForReal1962]

I have been doing the pour painting straight.I see the differences that are pour art painting thanks for the enlightenment .l am a beginner. I am learning as I go.❤🎉😊

[@VizoliArt]

You are so welcome! :)

[@gsxrdave1974]

wow the first pour looks like an optical illusion very cool.

[@annesaunders3580]

Hello, I like both of them but prefer the one with the smaller cells- without the medium. I enjoyed the music, too. Thanks for the demonstration. 😃

[@VizoliArt]

Awesome, thank you! :)

[@bonniewashington541]

I liked you not talking. I love painting and I don't need someone to King me through the process. I feel more relaxed with the music.

Oh the colors are so much more vibrant in the one with medium

[@VizoliArt]

Indeed. Thank you very much!

[@mayrabel1]

Hi, but Floetrol is a kind of medium, a subtitue of medium no?

[@VizoliArt]

Floetrol is a paint conditioner, to be precise. :)

[@bonniegerbrandt7854]

I like both! All depends on whether one wants large or small/no cells.

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much, Bonnie! :)

[@michelepenning302]

I prefer one. I LOVE watching experiments with acrylics. Of course I had to subscribe!!

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much, Michele! :)

[@pieternelgeurtz53]

Hi what kind of medium did you use?

[@amycus2129]

So cool!

[@brianlagasse3561]

First of all, I love your work. I'm new to acrylic painting, so excuse me if I ask a stupid question. I really like both of them, but I think I would choose the one with the medium. Does the medium cause the cracking or is that from drying to quick? One other thing, I love the music you have in the back ground. Is there anyway to get a name or title of the music? Thank you for your beautiful videos.

[@VizoliArt]

The musics are from epidemicsound. The cracking most probably due to the fast drying indeed. Thank you very much!

[@ireallywantaburger]

I'm a bit late to the party, but I have a question. You said the cracking is due to fast drying? Does that mean that you quickened the drying process somehow, or was that the end result of just leaving it and it drying on its own? Sorry if it's a stupid question 😅

[@Faeryfloss]

@alyiidella I find cracking happens when there is too much paint left on the canvas or tiles. The paint dries on the surface quite quickly but if there is too much paint underneath it doesn't dry at same speed so cause the cracks

[@rebeccagilberto4612]

thanks for making this so so so easy to follow

[@VizoliArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JSolo-ko9eh]

I like the one with the medium. The colors and details stand out more.

[@VizoliArt]

Thanks a lot!

[@ruelbalios2720]

Many says liquid soap will do instead of silicon oil. Will it work? I love your style and I learn a lot..👍

[@VizoliArt]

I think the result would be not as good as with silicone oil, but at some point I will do an experiment.. :) Thank you very much!

[@sueharris997]

I liked the large cells in the second pour but not how the paint seemed to "break" in them. I'm having a hard time with that in my paintings and blamed it on the house paint background. Now? Too much pouring media?

[@sylviesoulard1346]

Je préfère avec le médium ! Belle démonstration, merci de partager

[@VizoliArt]

Thanks you so much, Sylvie! :)

[@danapowers2102]

From my understanding, floetrol in both sets but added Liquidtex in the right side paints...?

[@jodiansley6124]

Love that, & what is that music? Love it, also.

Thank you so much for sharing this mixing by grms. I'm wondering how many grams of medium? I love😊 them both. ❤😊

[@VizoliArt]

Please check the description for the mixing ratio! Thank you so much!

[@valeriesuttonpayne7413]

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@dianeevans557]

With the medium it gives it a more defined look. The cells are larger and stand out more.

[@VizoliArt]

Indeed. Thank you so much for the feedback!

[@dianeduquette1870]

I honestly like them both. Too bad about the slight cracking in the one with medium. ☹️

[@VizoliArt]

Indeed, it got slight cracking, but honestly, I like the way it cracked. :) Thanks a lot!

[@Sharon-lo7ow]

I like the one without the pouring medium best. Both pretty

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you very much!

[@ROOFMAXXofSebringFl]

Is this magnified cells?

[@starmazaheri7448]

I wonder if we can make homemade medium just like homemade floetrol (half glue + half water).😊

[@starmazaheri7448]

Thank you very much Sir. It was very helpful. I just wonder why some KZbin videos, teach us to make acrylic medium which is actually the floetrol that you used, so which or how can we make the medium you have used only a little and are comparing in this video please?

[@beejstube]

did all the colors in the first pour have floetrol or only the blue? would the ratio be the same with american floetrol? thank you for this video!

[@VizoliArt]

All the colors has floetrol. The ratio is the same. :)

[@janebrownell6828]

Did the first one have any floetrol in it? Or was that just paint and water? The 2nd one does have visible fractals in it. I like the 1st one best.

[@VizoliArt]

In the first section of the video I show the exact mixing ratios, check it in case you are interested! :) Thank you!

[@janebrownell6828]

@@VizoliArt I went back and watched it again. Now I get it! Thanks for pointing that out. The medium is only on the 2nd pour. It did make a little difference.

[@VizoliArt]

Your welcome. :)

[@mindysmith2504]

I think the poster really needs to watch the video again maybe experienced painters understand what he's doing. But based on the video he puts floetrol in the first one and liquitex in the second one. If I am wrong, please explain where in the video it makes that distinction. Because you are visually telling us that painting number one has floetrol in the blue paint and painting number two has liquitex in all of the colors. That is 100% precisely the information visually given to us in the video. At no point is any other information given to us. So why would we make assumptions about things being done that there's no indication of them being done. Based on these comments, the majority of people are seeing exactly what I'm seeing and that is floetrol in the blue paint of painting number one and liquitex in all of the paint on painting number two. Floetrol versus liquitex... And if that is not what it is then there needs to be at least one visual or audio queue of something other then what you are visually telling us

[@janebrownell6828]

I think you meant to reply to the artist doing the video. This video is 2 yrs old! I don't even remember it!

[@stacie-wp5eg]

For what do you need mediums? I don't understand

[@lorrainelewis2607]

but they both have mediums no medium is just paint and water also silicone added!howeer the branded pouring medium i think produced best results

[@VizoliArt]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ireallywantaburger]

[@VizoliArt]

Don'r worry, it's not a stupid question. :) I didn't quickened the drying process in any way, I just let it dry for 2-3 days on the table. Thank you! :)

[@ireallywantaburger]

@VizoliArt Ahhh, I see. So, using the medium usually causes some cracking regardless? Thank you for the reply 😄

[@VizoliArt]

I didn't say that, but I definetely don't see too much sense using it.

I thought that the latex is substitute for floetrol and thus a pouring meduim! As far as I understand it, floetrol as well as the latex or pva help the paint to flow. Is that correct or wrong? Please help cause now I'm totally confused!

[@VizoliArt]

You are completely right. :) As a sideeffect, it helps with creating cells also. :)

[@yvonneS222]

Again, I realize it’s a year later from this video but I’m just watching it and I will always use a medium so much nicer, smoother and just simply gorgeous!!!❤

[@theottawahomes9855]

How much medium would be added to the paint and floetrol? Would the medium be considered the water?

[@VizoliArt]

Please check again the video and the description, I mentioned the exact ratio. :)

[@crazedweazels]

So, wait....the Floetrol wouldn't be considered a medium? I'm flummoxed!!!

[@VizoliArt]

No, not really. Actually, Floetrol is a paint conditioner, it helps with the paint fluidity, but it doesn't have that many binding properties.

[@CrisChristine]

😁😁😁

[@TripleG69]

.

[@Faeryfloss]

​@VizoliArt I'm still confused, every channel I have watched describes floetrol as a medium, as it still stretches the paint further without losing its colour. I find floetrol hard and very expensive to buy in UK and as just starting out, other than floetrol which options do we have??

[@pennymccabe6989]

@@Faeryflosspva glue works great. Elmers glue all is one I use. Usually mix 70% glue 30% water. Mix with paint 1 part paint 2 parts glue medium and additional water for consistency depending on how thick your paint is. Hope that helps 😊

[@jesusgirarte-sandoval7535]

Do you add the water to the other colors as well or just the blue one?

[@VizoliArt]

I add water to all of them.

[@CLASSYTERINA]

Very interesting! I did not realize Floetrol was not technically a pouring medium until this video, explains a lot!

[@VizoliArt]

I'm glad to hear that! Thank you very much.

[@Renee-st8jl]

I like the first one.

[@VizoliArt]

Thanks a lot!

[@khatabomar5141]

So you mixed liquitex with floetrol and water + paint on one side, and what did you mix on the other side?

[@VizoliArt]

One of them has Liquitex pouring medium, the other one doesn't. They both have floetrol, water and paint.

[@jaalabroome4231]

I like the one with medium best. Clear defined clouds, perks or cells. Whatever you call it. The other was muddy

[@RPS3000]

Why floetrol and a sip of liquitex pouring medium? And not just one of them?

[@VizoliArt]

The video shows an option where I use only Floetrol. Using only Liquitex pouring medium is an option also, but that one is quite expensive. :)

[@RPS3000]

@@VizoliArt at the end of the floertrol u ad a bit of liquitex

So could you just use the pouring medium without the floetrol

I thought Floetrol was a pouring medium anyway, am I wrong?

Floetrol is actually a Pain Conditioner, it doesn't have as much binding property then the Pouring Medium has.

I think that the cause of cracking is water, not the medium, so we must reduce the water

[@VizoliArt]

Could be. More experiments are coming. :)

[@mindysmith2504]

Okay maybe I don't understand but it looked like the first one he put floetrol into and then the next painting he put liquitex into each of those cups. So wouldn't an appropriate name be floetrol versus liquitex. We watched him put Flo a child into the first one and then we watched him put liquitex into the second one
