Both have their merits, however, my preference in this case is the "flooded" version. The flooded version has an ethereal jellyfish kind of vibe, while the "non-flooded" version looks like what happened when the jellyfish tried to cross the road.
I just started with pouring and have been watching soooo many videos of yours, Kanella, Molly, etc. so far about pouring and I can definitely say your style is the best, softer more elegant tones. Your positive vibe and happy uncomplicated personality makes me feel good after watching your videos and excited to try new techniques.
When you don’t do the flooded version, you have to blow the dryer in a different way. So you start blowing in the very middle out, so that top middle color spreads out more. If you just do the edge, then you will still have the glob of color in the middle. Sometimes what I’ll do is I’ll take a very little drop of the base color and put that as the final color of the circle. That adds a nice element as well.
From what I've seen, when you do the "non flooding" method you still pour a ring of base coat around the colours to help them move - you just don't blow them over.
I think Rinske has perfected the original flooded Dutch pour with puddles which I absolutely love. I will say I think kanella has perfected her version of this by doing lines/squiggles and then putting a small amount of bases color next to the squiggles as a way for the paint to glide better. Both techniques close to the same idea, are executed a little differently to produce beautiful outcomes. I personally do better with rinskes and tend to have the same problem she has when trying to duplicate what others, like kanella have conquered. I love your videos Rinske. Not only do I learn a lot but also I enjoy your calm happy presentation. You just have such an happy peacefulness to you that shines thru.
I have seen some nice non flooding Dutch pours, but my preference matches yours. Flooding all the way!!! I love the softness you get with the flooding. Please continue with whatever you want to show/share/teach us. Thank you!
I like the soft one. I don't care for the orange looking color on the one. How ever I have seen your friend Kanella do dutch pours with out blowing over and they turn out absolutely beautiful. You are both great artist. Take care and pray you and your family are safe and well. Thanks for sharing.
I'm with ya. The delicate flooded painting is more like a dancer and flows better. This was a very helpful video and cleared up some questions I had in my own painting. Thank you, Rinske!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was having such a hard time doing a Dutch poor. I never got any satisfactory results! My paint didn’t move, I added more paint to that out that moved a little bit add more paint we’re bad out that moved a little bit and I just ended up with a really thick paint splotch as opposed to a graceful, wispy, delicate, sheer petal-like result . On a sidenote, I have to say that I really enjoy watching you perform your artistry! I’m addicted to your videos, I think you’re amazing, and I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us, and your time with us, so that we can learn as well.
I've watched you since you first came out. You made the Dutch pour very popular. I have lived watching your journey. I've been doing paintings over 5 years. No you tube videos though but I'm thinking about it. You are an artistic genius. Thank you!!
I love your method and can't wait to try your flooded method... The colors are beautiful, flooded is my preferred method. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I really like them both I like the vibrancy and the cells in the one on the left and I love the delicacy and the softness and the one on the right they both win in my book
Thank you for the demonstration. I am all for the "Flooding" approach. It gives the work a look of smoothness and tranquility. Colors blend and do not overpower each other. The "Non Flooding" you run the risk of having a color or two overpower and overshadow the others and strike you in the eye.
Thanks for the demonstration. I am all for the flooding. It gives a totally different atmosphere to the whole canvas. I like the way the colors blend in a gentle way and not have one or two colors that might overpower the others.
Definitely the flooded one in this case. For a non-flooded pour it is best to use lines not puddles. But flooded Dutch pours definitely have a more delicate and dramatic look. Love it Rinske xxxx
Watching you is my Prozac! I'm kinda old to do much but watching you is just as rewarding because you never have a fail!😂🤣😅👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 Thanx SO much!
👍👍 Rinske thank you so much for explaining why you flood and why you don't flood. I think both turned out beautiful & so different. I would like to see you experiment with this more. Keep on keeping on!!! 💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
IMHO, they are BOTH fantastic! While they are different in many ways, that's what makes them so appealing to me. I would be proud of either one of them.
Oh my god! You made me realise what I'm doing wrong! So I try flooding but my pours look more like your non-flooding one. So I guess I'm not using enough paint to flood. Thank you so much Rinske!
I've always flooded, then I saw another artist not flood. Yes it was more vibrant with the colors, but did not have any transparency like I like and know you like. That's what gives it the softness, I think and like. It also allows more movement when wanting to work with your piece as far as blowing the edges, etc. Loved your color palette as well!💞💞💞
I like the same one you do. They are both very pretty but sometimes in a Dutch pour I think less is better. I also like the softness and negative space. ❤️ Thank you so much for showing us the difference! Be well!❤️
I don't think everyone thinks about composition when pouring. Anyone can follow a recipe and pour, but not everyone thinks about composition. You are a master with respect to composition.
I agree with you.. love the smokey affect of the flooded.. all of your work is simply gorgeous & amazing! I’m so inspired!! TFS and keep doing so.. I’m excited about your current split series, as you always teach me new techs.. God bless you and yours...
I like both for different aesthetics. Thank you for demonstrating the differences. I have tried for the smoky effect, without much success. Now I think I’ll try one with covering with paint before blow out.
You're an artist through and through... thanks for sharing your experience and experiments with us!! Wishing you health and prosperity in this crazy time Rinske;)
My preference is the flooded as well. I’ve only recently started pouring and my 1st attempt at a Dutch pour was a miserable failure, lol ! I didn’t have enough paint on canvas. Love, love, love your videos. I’ve learned so much and your work is amazing!
I prefer the flooding and love the finished product! But I do like the cells in the non flooding. I recently just starting experimenting with flooding so I'm still learning, you have been my online teacher during these times ❤️
Both have their own qualities and uniqueness for sure. I love the flooded one because it gives such a mysterious, soft, ethereal feeling when looking at it. I do like the non-flooded one as well because it's bold and vibrant. So....are we all like your paintings, sometimes we are bold and vibrant and then sometimes we're soft and mysterious hahhahha lol at least I thinks so. We're all unique and can at times offer so much more!!! Be well Rinske and thank you. Mary Lou
I flood my canvas and I have had some beautiful results! Butttttttt I would have to agree with your video. I think I just like that harsher edge to mine. Your way is much softer than mine! I actually want to try the non flooded way!
Both have their merits, however, my preference in this case is the "flooded" version.
The flooded version has an ethereal jellyfish kind of vibe, while the "non-flooded" version looks like what happened when the jellyfish tried to cross the road.
Hahahahahahahaha
YES !!!! hahahahaha !!!
Lmaooo
Yeah SPLAT 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha Raven, love your comment 💖

Even I think same way
Me too ✌🏻
I think your preference depends on the feel you're going for. Personally, I think no one can create a wispy, ethereal Dutch pour like Rinske! ❤😍👍🏼
When you don’t do the flooded version, you have to blow the dryer in a different way. So you start blowing in the very middle out, so that top middle color spreads out more. If you just do the edge, then you will still have the glob of color in the middle.

That is a great tip, thank you!
Thanks, Rachel, this is helpful.
I like the non flood one the best. It's bold but has a touch of softness and the colors are so much more vibrant and defined.
From what I've seen, when you do the "non flooding" method you still pour a ring of base coat around the colours to help them move - you just don't blow them over.
I just love to watch you paint and your videos are uncomplicated. Like you I like flowing the best.❤️
The flooding method is always my favourite. The end results are more delicate in my opinion ☺
I’m with Karine
I could literally watch you do this for hours. So utterly relaxing and beautiful
Much prefer your flooding style! So soft and gorgeous!!!
I prefer the flooding technique effects. Thank you for demonstrating the differences.
Definitely the flood method! So subtle ,but each to their own! You are the dutch pour queen!!

I could listen to you talk forever. Your voice and inflection is so soothing. ☺️

The non-flood looks like a phoenix and the colours are more vibrant which is fitting. The flood has that ethereal quality. I love both!
I agree both are beautiful, I like the smokey look.
I like both of them. Each has a beauty all its own.
I think they both have their place-both have some beautiful aspects.
It doesn't matter how any of us do this. We all have you to thank for this beautiful technique. 💙
I like the soft one. I don't care for the orange looking color on the one.
How ever I have seen your friend Kanella do dutch pours with out blowing over and they turn out absolutely beautiful. You are both great artist.
Take care and pray you and your family are safe and well.
Thanks for sharing.

The flooding is my preference as well. Very pretty!
I definitely like „your original Dutch Pour“ way more than the other. It’s soft and smoky, that’s what I love.🥰❤️
I am with you Rinske, I also prefer the flood method. I like the lacing the delicate look of the flood method. Thank you for the demo.
Thank you for the demonstration. I am all for the "Flooding" approach. It gives the work a look of smoothness and tranquility. Colors blend and do not overpower each other. The "Non Flooding" you run the risk of having a color or two overpower and overshadow the others and strike you in the eye.
I like both, thanks for showing us your experience between flooded and non-flooded version.
The two beside each other are complimentary like brother and sister.
Thanks for the demonstration. I am all for the flooding. It gives a totally different atmosphere to the whole canvas. I like the way the colors blend in a gentle way and not have one or two colors that might overpower the others.
I agree I like yours much better, am going to try some tomorrow
I much prefer your technique. The softness is what I want to achieve. Going to try my very first blow over today. Thanks so much!!
like the flooded better , thanks for the demo it is soooo interesting and valuable especially for a beginner
The look like satellite photos of the earth. Both versions are epic!
Definitely the flooded one in this case. For a non-flooded pour it is best to use lines not puddles. But flooded Dutch pours definitely have a more delicate and dramatic look. Love it Rinske xxxx
Watching you is my Prozac! I'm kinda old to do much but watching you is just as rewarding because you never have a fail!😂🤣😅👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 Thanx SO much!
I love your original Dutch pour style with the flooding! Each one you do is original and different
IMO the non flooded tends to all look the same.
Rinske, for Dutch pours you are the Queen! Love your color palettes, compositions and “smoky’ technique. ❤️❤️❤️
wow thank you for this video. this has been the biggest problem i’ve run into learning this craft
Both are equally beautiful to me. You can't go wrong with your art. It's a talent and you have it. Hugs!
I like the Red/orange colors in the middle without the flooding. Both turned out great!!
I really love the the flooded one! The non flooded one has incredible cells but I really like the softer lines of the flooded one!
I have noticed others doing this without the flood, doesn’t suit me. Again, beautiful💕
👍👍 Rinske thank you so much for explaining why you flood and why you don't flood. I think both turned out beautiful & so different. I would like to see you experiment with this more. Keep on keeping on!!!
💜💙💜💙💜💙💜
I wish my dutch pours looked like yours.
Me too...lol...
very nice experience.It makes a big difference.Thank you for sharng your idea.
I agree I wish I could do what you do I have tried several times lol not very successful I love your work many blessings
Hi rinske! Fun experiment....I prefer the smokey look...coz it also mixes colours and comes up with different colours.....thanks!
I tried your method and I’m absolutely in love with the results!
USA here💙I gotta say both are stunning..to me, the non flood is a softer definition👍compared to its rowdy brother👍😎
Hi Rinske....I love your original technique best...so soft and smokey! I can't seem to get mine like that yet! Still trying though!
Love your flooding so much more. The soft beautiful, delicate results is so pretty and my preference. 🖌❤🎨
I love the flooded method. I’ve learnt from watching your videos. I do it your flooding style.
Thank you for sowing the difference, it was very helpful.
IMHO, they are BOTH fantastic! While they are different in many ways, that's what makes them so appealing to me. I would be proud of either one of them.
THANK YOU, RINSKE, FOR THE GREAT DEMO, I LIKE BOTH VERSIONS, DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF PAINT I PRETENDBTO DO BUT
Oh my god! You made me realise what I'm doing wrong! So I try flooding but my pours look more like your non-flooding one. So I guess I'm not using enough paint to flood. Thank you so much Rinske!
Honestly, I like them both! Each is beautiful in its own way.

That's what gives it the softness, I think and like. It also allows more movement when wanting to work with your piece as far as blowing the edges, etc.
Loved your color palette as well!💞💞💞
I love the soft look of YOUR famous Dutch Pour! I’ve done them both ways and I kind of come back to flooding.
I love them both, I think it's all about what ones after at that time.. that's what I do when pouring..
Thanks for showing us the difference and experimenting!
I'm in agreement with you. I like the delicate.
Fun to watch but I definitely prefer the flooded version, that is the only way I do mine as well... your's is beautiful!
Flooded looks amazing.
Thank you Rinska. You just answered a question that I have been wondering about - the difference between the 2 techniques.
I like the flooded one best. The paint flows so much nicer! Thanks for sharing🥰
Both are gorgeous
I definitely like the flooded one best. This turned out really pretty.
I really love the flooding.
Wow… glad I found this! All of mine were just streaking the colors and making me nuts!
I’m going to have to flood from.
I like the same one you do. They are both very pretty but sometimes in a Dutch pour I think less is better. I also like the softness and negative space. ❤️ Thank you so much for showing us the difference! Be well!❤️
I prefer the flooding. The end result is delicate and really flows.

I must say I also like the more soft better as you😍 it's so beautiful
I like both for different aesthetics. Thank you for demonstrating the differences. I have tried for the smoky effect, without much success. Now I think I’ll try one with covering with paint before blow out.
You're an artist through and through... thanks for sharing your experience and experiments with us!! Wishing you health and prosperity in this crazy time Rinske;)
Both are lovely
La pintura base del lienzo es negro o azul muy oscuro? Maravilloso!!!! 😍😍😍😍
The flooded looks beautiful..
The both are beautiful!
Both are beautiful, but the flooded is definitely your style. 👍🏻
My preference is the flooded as well. I’ve only recently started pouring and my 1st attempt at a Dutch pour was a miserable failure, lol ! I didn’t have enough paint on canvas. Love, love, love your videos. I’ve learned so much and your work is amazing!
This video was super helpful and really satisfying to watch
I love the flooded one (soft, smoky look)!!! 🥰
Love the flooding
Beautiful. I’ll try both!🙏🏻
Thanks for the experiment. Love them both but prefer the flooded one.
I prefer the flooding and love the finished product! But I do like the cells in the non flooding. I recently just starting experimenting with flooding so I'm still learning, you have been my online teacher during these times ❤️
I actually like both!
Both have their own qualities and uniqueness for sure. I love the flooded one because it gives such a mysterious, soft, ethereal feeling when looking at it.
I do like the non-flooded one as well because it's bold and vibrant. So....are we all like your paintings, sometimes we are bold and vibrant and then sometimes we're soft and mysterious hahhahha lol at least I thinks so. We're all unique and can at times offer so much more!!!
Be well Rinske and thank you.
Mary Lou
I flood my canvas and I have had some beautiful results! Butttttttt I would have to agree with your video. I think I just like that harsher edge to mine. Your way is much softer than mine! I actually want to try the non flooded way!
I have not tried the flooding technique but now I will! I seem to always get the clump of colour in the centre too so this might fix it
The flooding method is much more vibrant and délicate. I prefer this one.
Thank you for this experiment
Thanks for the demo and information. Love the colors
