    The amount of pigment is as important as what the pigment is made out of (real Titanium oxide or "Titaium" oxide)
    Amsterdam also has a table which allows you to compare the mass of the pigments for individual colours (so no need for activators, if you stack the colours in the correct order of mass. Heaviest on top).

      @LeftBrainedArtist  ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Question? Is there a way to stabilize/stop the patterns from moving so I can keep the cells I have developed without them getting bigger or moving? I was thinking of using my oven at different settings(bake. broil etc) and temperatures to see if that'll work. or maybe the fridge/freezer? wondering if you ever experimented with those ideas? would freezing make snowflake / fractal designs by freezing the cells? Just wondeering.

    • @LeftBrainedArtist
      @LeftBrainedArtist  ปีที่แล้ว

      Do your swipe after you've tilted. Then the patterns will say once they are fully formed. I don't recommend addingheat as you'll get cracking and crazing. I have tried freezing. It was interesting . . . to say the least. - th-cam.com/video/mhgEDpUNcXU/w-d-xo.html

    Hey David! How are you today? Tysvm for always responding to questions and comments. You're a really dope artist! So for the first time I got a pack of bugger canvases that say 100% cotton "medium grain" they seem rough compared to the dollar general ones I've been getting. Is there a specific grain you use? Or do you have any tips for medium grain or does it even matter? I got a 7 pack lol so hopefully they're ok.

    • @LeftBrainedArtist
      @LeftBrainedArtist  ปีที่แล้ว

      Medium grain should be fine. You might need a light bit more paint to cover and you'll see the texture through a pour (which I don't mind at all). Those are the big differences.

    Getting ready to move from Apple Barrel and FolkArt craft paint to a better student grade. I was thinking Liquitex. I know Amsterdam Titanium white is good for big cells which I love but ig I just wanted your opinion for colors other than white. Im on the fence about if I should get Amsterdam or Liquitex? I've never used student grade paints at all I very excited.

      The cheaper you can get the better when it comes to those except for the white and a heavy black (Amsterdam is just a better cell activator).

    Hi. Thank You for all the movies - helps a lot.
    But I have question about problem that i had last time and dont know why.
    I made pour with 4 colours. 3- were amsterdam and 1 - was arteza. And it looked like amsterdam did not work well with that one arteza colour. So I wonder if amsterdam doesnt work good with arteza paint in the pour or mabey i just added a little too much water into arteza.
    I did not had any problems like that with mixing any other companys of paints together.

    • @LeftBrainedArtist
      @LeftBrainedArtist  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What you do you mean by it "didn't work well"? I have used those two in the past together and didn't have a problem. My gut reaction would be consistencies were different but again that is a guess without seeing it. Any chance you could send me a picture (contact form on my website leftbrainedartist.com/contact). Let me know which colors where which and hopefully I can give some better guidance.

    David - I recently saw a video where the artist put down a base coat for a wandering ring pour. Do you know why a base coat is helpful? I have never done that with any pours other than the Dutch Pour. Maybe you can do a video on comparing a ring pour with a base coat and a ring pour without? Thanks!
