    You're awesome!! Thank you for sharing your mixes!! There are a lot of artists out there that think they are so awesome that they keep their secrets or make you pay for them which is ludicrous! So thank you for being so forthcoming. Love love watching your videos 😊

      Why is it “ludicrous “ that an artist might want to be paid for a technique they use? These videos cost you nothing to look at and enjoy and the content creators get a small sum from adverts, in many cases it’s their job.

    Thank you so much! I swear I've watched 50 pouring videos today & still had no idea how to mix. Your video was concise & easy to understand. I absolutely LOVED that pinky-purple area & it was even the cheapest paint/medium combination. Better yet, the Apple Barrel craft paints are readily available at my local Walmart & they have quite a large collection of colors. I'm so excited to stop on my way home from church tomorrow, get some fun colors & give this a try!

    Well, it is really fortunate for my maiden attempt at pouring that I found your video about the need for a medium. I found a website that began at the pouring ideas. Your suggestions are such a help for us newbies.

    I use Anita's craft paint from Hobby Lobby and mix with floetrol and a little water. I use 1 ounce paint to 3 ounce floetrol and a dab of water. Works great for me. I used to put 4 ounces of floetrol but it dulls the color a little. I put paint in cup first and then floetrol and then water. Really like the way it turns out. Just a suggestion for anyone that wants to try it. I love watching your videos because you actually explain your process and tips of what to look for. I actually started painting because of your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us fans.

    Thank you for sharing you mixing technique. I didn’t know that you could combine different pouring mediums in the same painting. Sometimes I’ll have paint mixed with Floetrol that’s I’d like to use up. Glad to see different mediums work well together. Thank you

    Man, thanks for making this EASY! I’ve watched a bunch of how to mix & ended up feeling more intimidated than when I started lol. I’ve been pouring resin for years but really like the acrylic pours. Very similar to resin working.

    Thank you so much for making such an enjoyable and honest video. So often videos are driven by the sale of products and yours wasn’t . I love that you have demonstrated how to mix the different types of paint as well as different mediums and to such great effect. I love the reusable silicone mat and bowl idea anything that helps the environment is great. Thank you for showing that you don’t have to have a torch or silicone. I can’t wait to get started using your method and tips.

    When I first started pouring months ago I had no clue but now...I have the best luck getting cells by mixing glue all, floetrol, and a lil water w my paints, and I've moved up from craft paint to actual decent artist paint! I wanted to thank u for this video bc it was one of the ones that taught me the basics! Thanks

    Wow, thank you. This definitely helps, and even more because you did the different pouring media as well. That was awesome when you just dumped them both in like a boss. I now know that it is OK to use 2 different mixing media in the paint mixture! Turned out very cool as well.

    Thanks for this video. I’ve been doing these type of paintings for about a month. My level of success has varied usually because of paint thickness. I either get it too thick or too thin. If it’s thin I get it everywhere. If I get it too thick it cracks during drying. I will say I have had one or two look better with the cracks.

    Mixing and correct consistency for pouring; the most 'varied' subject, depending on who I watch. I'm beginning to think the Floetrol we have here is a different thickness to the U.S. The name of the companies and bottles are different but both are Floetrol and have the same description. Not confusing at all🤔😆. Interesting to see your method and a cool pour. Tyfs.C😊🐾🐾
