The original seahorse was what inspired me to start pouring. I don't think I'm at the seahorse level yet, but the colours you have chosen are beautiful and I'm further inspired to try it sooner than later. Thank you, Anna. 🙂✌️
Thank you so much for your videos! I have learned so much and can't thank you enough! I have discovered I don't even have to use the tape at all, I just pencil sketch the shape and cover with leading edge paint.
I am SO sorry I missed this Premier. I have seen your other work and loved it. Beautiful work, outstanding! Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us. 💜🦋💜
Cool! Thank you! I have a canvas that would make a great sea background, but it’s already dry, and I wanted to put a sea horse on it but didn’t want to mess up the existing background. This should work. I forgot about using Floetrol in this way. I had done it a couple of times before and hadn’t even heard of anyone using it this way at that time, but I needed a pillow paint and already had a background, so I decided to try Floetrol. Worked like a charm! Also if my regular pillow paint is drying up and things aren’t moving much in a blowout and I need a little more color, I put down a bit of Floetrol, then put my paints on top of that, and I’m back in business. By the way, if I know I need extended time, there is Slow Dry Blending Gel Medium (I have Artist Loft, but there are others) that you can mix into your paints in advance. You can also spray with water from a very fine mister (do NOT use an ordinary sprayer which is way too thick of a stream as it will probably ruin your painting), to slow down the drying. I am doing acrylic pours on my floors, which seems to dry the paints faster than normal even though I sealed the concrete floor. I’m using a higher powered blower, so I think that it what dries the paint faster than usual. But the Floetrol generally solves my problem by acting like a paint but drying clear.
Absolutely love this!!! You are so creative and an excellent teacher! Thank you for being so explicit and explanatory during your process. I know it takes a good deal of experience to do this painting, but you make it seem so easy! I know mine won’t turn out like you’re, but I think I’ll be able to make an attempt without feeling overwhelmed. Thank you! ❤
I’m new to your channel and I must say I love your soothing voice and how accessible you make everything seem! Not to mention your art is spectacular! I’m wondering if you let the water layer dry before you added the seaweed that may have solved your issue with the colors moving. But then you may not have had the cell reaction in the seaweed? And those cells definitely made it more organic. I’m still learning and have added your seahorse to my to-do list!
this turned out so cool, I don’t have that kind of patience. Plus I’m not that artistic. 😂 I just like the colors and the Therapeutic activity of painting. But this is truly beautiful. I also like how you mentioned Rinske and Sarah in your video. I also follow those ladies. ❤
Anna, did you use silicone in the green grasses? Wasn’t sure if it’s just floetrol that created the gorgeous cells you got? Love this piece. You are so gifted. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Nope, no silicone in the grasses. The cells came from just the paints interacting with each other…whether it was density at play, or floetrol helping with reactivity, I’m not sure. But it’s really nice!
This is my favorite seahorse micro swipe I’ve seen which is a surprise since yellow is not usually one of my favorite colors. I watched your blue seahorse swipes with the dots and I wasn’t a huge fan of the dots but loved the seahorses. I was thinking that when I finally got some paints and after practicing with fluid art that one of the first pieces I would try was a seahorse but I would add sea grass instead of the dots. I was thinking of just doing one behind and. 2-3 in front but I was going to do thicker blades of grass. I was trying to figure out how I would do it….this is perfect!!!! I prefer the blue background as well. This is so stunning! Do you mind telling me if you were to do another one what the cost would be? I would like to buy one. Hopefully I’ll get some paints for Christmas and I can start practicing and see if I am any good at it.
@ thank you so much for responding so quickly. Unfortunately my husband has already gotten my Christmas this year and that’s too quick anyway. I’ll tell him that it would make an amazing Valentine’s Day gift. I will reach out soon. Thank you.
Beautiful.. could I ask, why did you have to add layer of flotrol to the front of the seahorse? , I understand having to put it on the back part so that you could swipe on it. X
Hi Anna, love everything you do. Just one question, I understand😮😮 why you added the Floetrol to the part that you were going to swipe but why did you add it in the front part of the seahorse ?
Thanks! I wanted the texture to be smooth all the way across the canvas. If I hadn’t added floetrol to the front, there would have been a textural ridge.
That’s interesting! Frog tape (green) might work better for you, but you do really have to press it down firmly. Also if your canvas texture is dry and rough, the tape won’t seal as well as it will on a surface that already has paint on it…
Hola hermooosooo !!! Quedé impresionada!!! Pero no entendí por que no lo puedo traducir que fue lo blanco q le pusiste al pintar al hipocampo? Es solo cola?
beautiful!!!! I want to try this . The floetrol you swiped into,was it just plain floetrol?US or Australian? also when you did the sea grass did all those colors have floetrol?what was the ratio? also silly question but when add floetrol doesn't it wash out some of the color? how do you prevent that?? Thank-you so much for all your inspiring beautiful work!
Thank you!! Yes it was plain US floetrol as the transparent coat. For all my paint colors, I mixed them with floetrol as well. It can give the appearance of lightening your paints when wet, but as it dries they are fully vibrant (especially after varnishing!)
Just watched your video again so yep, I have another question lol.when you did the grasses, did you add silicone to the green to get the cell reaction? thanks
Good question! No, there’s no silicone there. That’s just the reaction of the paints rubbing together! I think because there’s floetrol in the mix, that helps…and the paints are different brands, which can also increase natural cell formation.
Wesley snipes did a vomit to produce a afgh see horse with a tree snake behind it then it has a double tuning for fork the a 7 (7urdu) all of it is what some kind of curtain judge justice cover 😂 If they payed me to do my job without lacing me all the time I would run everything 😂 Regards Mulana
I was almost mesmerized by the combination of dreamy music and colors in this creation vid. Thank you for taking the time to provide this excellent guide; and for sharing your expertise. 😏💕😏
@@joyous120 yes I have a video on how to clean silicone (check the very bottom of the video description, or my “tips and tricks” playlist). I use cornstarch plus soap and water!
I love your paintings. You have inspired me to start painting again. However, please make your background music is much quieter. It is a distraction. Especially since it is dramatic heavy music.
Thanks Terri! I’m sorry you find the music too loud. I really try to set it perfectly so it isn’t distracting, but if your volume is up really loud then the music will be loud. You could possibly try turning it down slightly and turning on the closed captions if you can’t hear my voice well enough?
I’m sorry that you don’t care for the background music, but I really prefer to have music behind my art. I really try to keep it in the background though…
Thanks for your inspiration! ❤❤❤
I did a neon painting of your seahorse. I wish I could send you a pic!
Very cool! Thanks a bunch!
Thanks!
I see this is an old video,but Im seeing it for the first time. This is beautiful. You did an amazing job❤
Thank you so much! It’s a favorite of mine too!
Girl, you are my hero! And you've got me obsessed by Seahorses!
Aw thank you!
What a difference it makes when u blow dry the tape. I love how the viewer suggested a tip and u tried it 💘
Yes it helped a ton!
I would like to see you do an owl. This turned out great. I wasn't so sure about the yellow color but I like it.
That’s a cool idea! I am picturing a couple birds in my head, so an owl may happen eventually!
It's so beautiful, never seen anything like this before. Amazing, worm greatings from Germany, Cologne. ❤
Thank you so much!
The original seahorse was what inspired me to start pouring. I don't think I'm at the seahorse level yet, but the colours you have chosen are beautiful and I'm further inspired to try it sooner than later. Thank you, Anna. 🙂✌️
Aw thank you Caylee! Best of luck to you!
Sorry chosen one your the guilty one 😂
Thank you so much for your videos! I have learned so much and can't thank you enough!
I have discovered I don't even have to use the tape at all, I just pencil sketch the shape and cover with leading edge paint.
You’re so welcome! Yes that is very true, I have used that technique myself on other swipes.
WOW that’s awesome, I can’t draw a stick figure so a seahorse …
Took my breath away ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aw thank you so much!
What a beautiful painting and an awesome video.
Thank you so much!
Amazing, stunning, gorgeous!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕊️✌️😀😃😄😁🤗

Beautiful.. could I ask, why did you have to add layer of flotrol to the front of the seahorse? , I understand having to put it on the back part so that you could swipe on it. X
Good question! It’s to make sure that the whole surface has a smooth texture, and there isn’t a visible area where the second layer was added.
Tu trabajo es maravilloso. Te ganaste una suscriptora. Es con pintura de acrílico?
Muchas gracias! Yes, acrylic paint mixed with floetrol and water, with some silicone oil added.
This was a lot of fun. And the work pretty. Where do I get silicone to add?
Thank you! I use “Spot On” treadmill silicone that I got from Amazon. Lots of craft stores carry silicone oil but they may vary in quality.
Hi Anna, love everything you do. Just one question, I understand😮😮 why you added the Floetrol to the part that you were going to swipe but why did you add it in the front part of the seahorse ?
Thanks! I wanted the texture to be smooth all the way across the canvas. If I hadn’t added floetrol to the front, there would have been a textural ridge.
What brand of tape did you use it did well. Mine will leak a lot even though I warm it but it’s the blue scotch painters tape
That’s interesting! Frog tape (green) might work better for you, but you do really have to press it down firmly. Also if your canvas texture is dry and rough, the tape won’t seal as well as it will on a surface that already has paint on it…
Hola hermooosooo !!! Quedé impresionada!!! Pero no entendí por que no lo puedo traducir que fue lo blanco q le pusiste al pintar al hipocampo? Es solo cola?
Thank you! The white background is floetrol, if that’s what you’re asking…
I do love him. I wish I could show you the seahorse I did
Thank you! I’m glad you had fun with yours!
Would you do a satin, matte or gloss finish?
Gloss is definitely my favorite for fluid art because it really makes it look as vibrant as it did when you pour it!

@@AnnaBlountArt ty!
when did you put the silicone in??? Didn't hear you mention that at all.
I add the silicone oil to the paints before I put them on the canvas!
Anna, is your squeeze bottle paint ,thicker?
Nope it’s exactly the same as the rest!
Can I use glue instead of flotrol?
Probably! I’d recommend trying a small swipe with your mixture to see if the cells develop the way you want, before you try a complicated shape!

Do you mean the brush work? Or cleaning silicone?
@@AnnaBlountArt I meant cleaning silicone. Think you mentioned using cornflour???

Wtf is ai doing 😂
U could do without that background boarding music

Please can you don't play the music...I love your video's But I want to only hear your voice Not all of us likes the same kind of music 😢
