Hi everyone! I'm often asked about products I use and can recommend for fluid art. In order to make things convenient for you, I've put them all in one, easy to explore, place. ~~*~~> Amazon.com/shop/MyriamsNature
Hi Miriam. Thank you so much I found this so helpful. You provide so much valuable information at each stage which really helps the confidence of s newbie to pouring. What an inpiring artist you are & such a blessed & generous soul 😙
After a few months of watching probably a few hundred videos on pouring, this is the best channel I’ve found for techniques, tips & recipes for pours. Thanks! 🎨
Oh it is so my pleasure Noel. I learn best when I understand the "why" of something ... I hoped it would help others too. 😊 Thank you for taking time to be that kind. It is wonderfully encouraging!
I love that you didn't waste so much paint. Many youtubers tip off half the paint and it makes me cringe... And seeing the dried version makes it so honest. THANK YOU
Myriam, love, love your taking the time to explain the intricacies of your painting methods! Rather than just "pour and tilt," you offer excellent suggestions for how an artist can affect the design and balance of a pour. You're an excellent instructor, and your videos are most appreciated !
Miriam, I've been watching videos and tutorials on TH-cam about acrylic pouring for almost a year and today I finally decided to give it a shot. I followed all your instructions (I like your videos the best) and crossed my fingers. It came out beautiful; I even amazed myself! This definitely wouldn't have been the case, however, if you hadn't been so generous with your knowledge and terrific instructions! Thank you so much for sharing your talent! You are a wonderful teacher!
I agree with CJ and especially appreciated learning how much paint to use per canvas to avoid waste along with your guide of how to avoid warping. Thanks
Myriam for someone (like me) who has always struggled with math this video has been a real GIFT!!!!! Not only did it make sense to me but it also gave me the tools to go forward and have a means of computing for other sizes what I might need to mix!! Eternally grateful!!!! Edit: I also find your voice very soothing. Love these colors too.
This comment touched me so much Twigwoman... Thank you for taking the time to send it! I am just delighted to know that this has helped! Thank you for your thoughtful words!!! 😘💖🎨
Wow! I love your color choices and the way you pulled little wisps off the edges, and pulled white into the poured area. You have a great way of teaching techniques. Thanks for all the tips, too.
Miriam, your video was so very much more specific and informative than many that I have viewed. I especially appreciated seeing what you did to the pour to increase interest and emphasize the role of the artist in what had seemed to be largely a science experiment.
Thank you so very much for that Jo. For me, as much as I love pouring I think I'd get bored if I never got to actually add/edit the paintings. This makes it all much more fun I think. 😀🎨
I agree with Jo -- I did my very first pour today, keeping in mind a number of your tips and hints, like your milliliter of paint per square-inch guideline. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
You are the one who's going to convince me I can do this. I've been watching this on you tube for quite a while, but it's you who pushing me over the edge. I just picked up some supplies. Can't wait! Thank you.
Oh my gosh ... What a lovely thing to say Eloise! Thank you!! I hope that you try your first pour soon... I think you'll have fun. And please tell me how it goes, I'd love to hear! 🎨💕😊
Myriam, this video is so helpful and the outcome is just stunning. What's inspired me most in viewing your videos is that the pour is the starting point and the person behind the pour does have artistic control over the outcome to some degree. Thank you for giving so much to the pouring community. When I need to calm down and let go, your voice rocks me like a baby... it's so soothing. Bless you!
Hello Miriam with an “I”! 😄 Thank you ever so much for this amazingly kind, thoughtful comment… It so made me smile! I absolutely view the pour as step one ... I love seeing what comes out of the cup but the real fun, I think, is seeing it as a puzzle almost... like pouring out puzzle pieces and trying to figure out how to get to the completed picture. 😊 I wish you endless fun and success with all of your pours! May you be blessed.
Miriam, with a Y!! You equally made my day with your response. I'm sure you bring smiles to many people with your generous spirit and wish to share. I'm new to pouring so your videos have been so helpful to me. And, YES, what ends up on the canvas is like a puzzle -- love that comparison. When we begin to dream about pouring, we know we are hooked!! I'm dreaming...
Myriam, I appreciate your analytical mind. You figure things out and explain them very clearly. Plus, you ended up with a lovely result, as "proof" of your techniques.
Awww thanks! The pick lets you use a lot less paint when spreading it around a canvas so I hope it comes in handy. 😊💕 Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Thank you soooo much. I'm an oil painter and am intrigued by this method of painting. I've watched probably 20 or more clips on this method but I learned more of the important details from you in this one painting than all the others combined. I really appreciate your method of teaching and I think your painting is incredibly beautiful. Keep up the great work!
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen! Your voice is soothing and not invasive - AND you donot talk too much, just enough to instruct. You've loaded this video with lots of useful tips, and I thank you!
Myriam, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent and wisdom with us. You are a natural teacher. Clear, concise, and you don't speak a hundred miles an hour! You are one of the best I have come across for tutorials. Keep up the good work, dear lady. Warm hugs.
You tickle me with the delivery of your tutorials (just thinking out loud). I really, really love your work and realize now what I have been doing wrong with my own work. Keep them coming!
Miriam, your way of guidingcal one through the process is inspiring, encouraging and very helpful. I really apreciate, that you are very specific, covering technical details in a very practical way and at the same time convey the fun, joy and creativity, that is the basis for art being awsome. Looking forward to more great tutorials from you!
Oh my gosh C.J.... Thank you for those amazing compliments. I am thrilled that the video conveyed a sense of creative fun as it is definitely what guides me. I hope that you will find future videos useful. Thanks again for making me smile as widely as I did!😊💖🎨
Hi Liz! I’m so happy you’re finding the videos useful and helpful! Being able to avoid cleaning the canvas only ever seems to work with this particular brand of silicone. I think it’s because this brand is designed to dry. Not all silicone will do that. 😊💕
I'm SO glad to hear how to measure the amount of paint to use per canvas! I love embellishing and playing with it after it's poured but I can see I've used too heavy a hand in what I've done. I love the delicate hand you use in adding paint, moving the edges and other things you do. I like to see something like this with a larger border, or negative space around the edges, mine tends to spread out then go over the edge! Keep painting and making videos- You're great at teaching because you speak evenly, don't use a lot of unnecessary talking and time, and it's easy to understand.
Every time I watch your video's I lean some thing else. I like the idea of knowing how much paint I will use, I do not want to title the pour all the time. Some times I like it just as is. Thank you for all the great tips you send our way. You are great to listen to.
Love that you answered so many of my questions: how to estimate how much paint to use to reduce waste, your ratio of color to floetrol and silicone and water. And many other tips were helpful!
Myriam, thank you SO MUCH for showing & sharing your talent! and thank you for talking TO me and not AT me :D i am 'researching' different videos/techniques before i start my new passion of acrylic pour, and am just 'smitten' with you!!! i can't wait to see all you've done, and to be with you on future projects - THANK YOU, AGAIN!!!! hugssssssss
Yes, Yes, Yes...Please make more videos like this! I love your approach to pour painting very much. This painting is absolutely gorgeous! I am glad to have found your channel.
I've watched so many videos on pours but this is by far the best. Clear instructions and such a calm lovely voice. I too love some negative space to play with. Your pour turned out beautifully...can't wait to see more of your work. Thank you so much!
You are fantastic! I have watched so many videos about pouring and no one has taken the time to explain every little detail like you have. You provided the recipe, explained why you put lighter colors in the bottom of the cup, but my favorite is how you showed ways to manipulate and control the outcome of an art style that doesn't seem to have much control at all. Thank you so much for your time and patience. It's easy to see that you love what you do and your work reflects that love beautifully. Now I need to run to the store and get my supplies because you have inspired me.!!
Oh my gosh... I am thrilled to know that you are inspired to try this now. For me the pour is just the first step, I see it as a puzzle that I need to solve once I have it spread out in the canvas. Letting the paints have all the fun of "making" the painting feels less satisfying somehow so I suspect that taking charge will lead to lots more enjoyment and creativity for you! I wish you endless fun with this. Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment! 😊💕
A most appreciate your explaining how to measure amount of paint needed for a painting as I live on a fixed income and don't want to use more than needed. The tip on what silicone you use and mixing well elinates coating problems later is also very helpful. I love the idea of using a pick comb for spreading the negative paint around as opposed to just puddling it and tilting to have it flow. It achieves the same effect with much less paint. Feathering the paint and dragging it into needed areas is also very useful. Using the torch on random areas where you'd like more cells is also an excellent idea. I deeply appreciate all the detailed information you shared. I've watched a lot of videos but few people take the time to explain the exact measurements they use and often am unsure of just what was used and why. I loved this video and look forward to watching more.
I'm so happy that this was useful Marina! It is a pleasure to share whatever I know especially if it can help prevent waste 😊. I truly hope you will find the other videos helpful ... Not all of them are tutorials exactly but I make sure to share tips in every one. 😊💕 Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words.
What makes this demo different than the others ...is that Miriam explains how to know how much paint is needed and why each ingredient is needed and what effects you get depending on how much color you use when. Thank you beautiful woman. God bless you on this Easter Suday🐣
Thank you Myriam for including the section about how much paint to use. I am just getting interested in this technique and needed that information. I will be watching more from you. You are very informative and your voice is very soothing.
This video was so helpful to me! As a "Newbie" I had no idea how to figure out how much paint to mix up, if you mix too little- it could have a very adverse effect on your pour, so of course I way overshot on my first 3 pours, and wasted A LOT of paint, the puddle below my pouring rack was twice as deep/thick as on my canvas! I really appreciate you explaining how to roughly calculate this! Thank you! Your painting came out very beautiful!
I have watched hundreds of the pours and I can truly say that I think I like yours the best! It was your additional, personal touches that made this piece so rich!! Thank you. I'm going to try this next!!!
I have TH-cam on autoplay, which is why I was brought 2 a 2 year old video! I am fascinated with your 5:1 ratio! I love how you then do not have thick paint on your canvas, but actually still see the texture of the canvas. I'll be trying this in the next few weeks. I am very under the weather right now.
Your paintings are NOT huge amounts of paint doing it's job all by itself, surprising the painter. You carefully choose only a few colors, you guide the paint over the canvas and decide where it goes. And after that you act like the artist you are, and complete the painting by different kinds of techniques. And you have a very sound attitude to cell forming. I really appreciate that! There are far too many videos on TH-cam where every color shade in the shop is mixed together in quantities enough to paint the kitchen furniture. And they are cell maniacs! Cells are the only thing that matters- the more the merrier! The finished result more often than not looks like a canvas with smallpox. Composition and color scheme are of no importance to them. You are definitely my favorite teacher. Keep pouring, please !
Oh thank you so much Berit! I agree with you wholeheartedly ... And the really sad part about this cell obsession, is that beginners feel like failures if they don't achieve them. Somehow I think the joy of creativity gets lost in the obsession to make paint do something by itself. I very much appreciate your thoughtful and kind comment. I am so happy you enjoy this channel. May the paints be kind to you. 😊💕🎨
Wow, I agree 100% I figured I was just the odd one out for not being a fan of CELLSCELLSCELLS. A little bit of color popping is fun and interesting, but as you said, when it's too much, it looks like smallpox or some other "paint disease" lol. I don't like that look at all, I much, much prefer the smoother, more fluid mixing of colors. It's tempting to use a dozen different colors, and once in a while, sure, it's fun to get crazy and just throw down a bunch of paint and see what happens. But I also agree that carefully selecting fewer colors for a theme or specific mood, is a bit more respectable. Please feel free to check out my own TH-cam channel and acrylic pour projects! I'm very new and would love some feedback and suggestions.
Finally! After watching literally hours of TH-cam, I stumbled upon your channel. It's a veritable treasure trove of information! Your explanation of estimating volume of paint for size of canvas is the first time I've heard it introduced! Your voice has a soothing, calm quality to it that makes us want to keep listening. I just tried my very first pour and loved the result! But the next morning I woke up to a different painting! Yikes! My canvas wasn't level! It's not bad, but definitely different and I still like it. You're a great teacher! Thanks so much!!
Many thanks for that Linda. The lack of level has plagued every single one of us at one time (or many) or another. I'm happy that yours ended up a keeper. I'm also glad that you are finding the channel useful. 😊 May you have endless happy pours in your future! If I can ever be of help, just let me know. 😊💕
This is so beautiful! I've watched a lot of "pours"as I've just discovered it about a month ago, and yours is so enjoyable to watch. Relaxing. But, what I was really drawn to was how you manipulated the piece and added YOUR own brush strokes. You put a really cool twist on it. Thank you!
Thank you Marijo... think of a pour as a starting point and I think you’ll enjoy the medium even more. Making a painting “yours” let’s it be different 😊 . Thank you for taking time to be so kind ... I hope you’ll enjoy more of the channel.
I really enjoyed your video. I loved that you let the paint do what it needed to do. You gently coaxed more features out and made it more vibrant. Thank you for the tips.
It feels like Christmas, new year and birthday at once when I discovered your chanel! You are such a good teacher, so calm and you have such a nice voice. You really know your stuff, and for the first time I felt like wanting to try this since it is done without wasting a ton of paint.
Oh my gosh thank you! I was fascinated by this medium for months but kept being turned off by what seemed like tremendous waste... I would cringe watching some pours 😄. Once I found this could be done without a humongous mess or loss of paint I was hooked! I am thrilled if I can help someone find the fun too, so thank you for taking time to tell me you might start playing. It really added to my morning! 😊💕
Hi Myriam. I have watched my fair share of acrylic pour videos and yours, thus far, are the best, most informative videos I have come across. Your art is beautiful and your voice is calming, but not boring or coma inducing :) About 7 years ago, I found acrylic pouring art and wanted so badly to learn how to do it. No one and I mean, no one, would share techniques, ingredients, tips or suggestions. I was told that it was "their" intellectual property and they wouldn't share. I was discouraged, I tried in vain to create cells, to get a decent flow, etc. I gave up. By chance I stumbled upon an acrylic pouring video about 3 weeks ago and have been watching as many as I have time for ever since. I did my first successful pour tonight - after 7 years of disappointment. Your tips and suggestions really helped. It sounds silly, but I have waited for the day I could create one that "worked" and tonight I got it. I'm so excited. Thank you so much for sharing, I am beyond grateful to you (and other youtubers) for taking the time to offer your experience so others can learn. Thanks for the videos and for reading my novel here. LOL. Many thanks, Kathleen
Hi Kathleen! I really hope that I don't sound too corny when I say that your letter is exactly why I make these videos! Thank you so much for taking time to tell me this… It totally made my night! Thinking that sharing a few tips has helped someone create art that they love is beyond rewarding and I hope that I can do for years to come. I wish you many many happy, successful pours and fun! If I can ever answer a question just let me know. I share everything!! 😊💕🌀
YOU R MY HERO!!! I have been wanting to try fluid pours since day 1 - but it’s been cost prohibitive until recently, but YOU! YOU finally give us all a way to measure & SAVE our paints!!!! Thank you!!! Your newest dedicated subscriber!
That’s awesome to hear... thank you Valerie! As one who hates to waste paint AND money I am happy to share anything that can help others save both. Thank you for subscribing ... I hope that this channel will be useful to you. 😊💕
TFS! I loved your tips and your pour. TY so much for the formula to know how much paint to use. The waste of paint in pouring, was something that always bothered me. I felt I was either wasting paint or wasting canvases, when I would try to use the left over and/or drippings on another surface to avoid wasting it. I enjoy it much more using your theory. Now I can use whatever colors I want and I don't feel I must use up what is left from an overmix or overpour. I also like your tip of mixing up the silicone more (others kept saying not to) and you are absolutely right. No more cleaning canvases prior to resin or varnishing them. Please continue to share. I realize that I am a bit late to see this post. But your tips are still relevant and have really made my creative time even more enjoyable. THANKS AGAIN, and God Bless!
Thank you for the instruction as well as creating a lovely painting. I was introduced to this kind of painting by recently being ill and used viewing these videos to pass the time. Now that I'm well again, I intend to gather materials for poring my own art work. Keep on with the videos! I am learning so much.
Wow Myriam, you are a great teacher! I'm not in a position to create my own art with poured paint at this time but I'm really enjoying watching your artistry and loving how you explain what, why and how you manipulate the paint to your liking. Thank you. X
MYriam, with a Y.... i love your videos. Your voice is calming. You're instructive and calm. You're not adding random foolish remarks but I feel your sweet kind personality come out. Thank you for your vids. Jill
Thank you for the "ratio of paint to canvas". I have asked this many times of others and haven't got a definite answer. Love the effect you got. I will watch the other videos on your channel and will be watching for more.
So beautiful. Best tip ever was the pick. Awesome idea. Glad I found you. Your voice is so soothing to tristen too. Keep it up ma'am you are doing a great job. New best fan
Your video is no only relaxing but purposeful. The addition to your paintings is wonderful to watch. I'm surprise din the month of videos I have watched I haven't come across your channel. I had previously thought pour painting was hit or miss..You have helped me to fine tune my paintings. Thank you
Miriam, thanks so much for this great lesson! I particularly love how you were able to add the finest details with barely a stroke. Also, I appreciate that you have given me a bit of an education about saving on the paint. This turned out beautifully.
Hi, Myriam, I enjoyed very much watching your technique. I am a pastel painter and can not wait to try something new and exciting as pouring paint. Thank you for all the convenient 'tips' on saving paint, etc.
Love, love, love your explanations that allow others to take control of the painting. A bit of science and the reason behind decisions showcases you know what you’re talking about. Thank you for making these videos!
I love your teaching and your voice. I've learned so much; you give me confidence to get off my bum and create! I particularly like what you do with the edges. I had never thought about that. Thank you!!!!

Thank you Monterrey... I'm glad you find it useful! 😀
I’ve watched a bunch of different videos regarding these pours and you are the first one that ever said what the tour has was for! Thank-you!
I also love the way you spread the white paint with a comb.
I agree with CJ and especially appreciated learning how much paint to use per canvas to avoid waste along with your guide of how to avoid warping. Thanks
I love that you tell the WHY's behind the steps.
A beautiful outcome that mirrors the beauty of its creator! Thank you more than mere words can convey.
Oh my gosh, what a lovely thing to say Barbara! 😊💕
The milliliter per inch tip is BEYOND helpful. Thank you so much!

So beautiful! I’m still in the ‘I’m fascinated and want to learn how to DO this’ stage, learning as much as I can before taking the plunge.
I enjoyed watching and wanted to say your an excellent teacher.....as my grand kids say "Two Thumbs Up!"
Thank you for showing a different technique with the skewer. Beautiful with the edges going out rather than just pouring and tilting the canvas.
It was my pleasure Lori… I am so happy that you found this useful! Thank you!!

This is by far the best video on youtube on pouring. Loved it!!! She explains in such an easy way to understand her points she is making. Well done!
I am happy to hear your tip about mixing in the silicone well to avoid having to clean the canvas later. Thank you!
Hi Liz! I’m so happy you’re finding the videos useful and helpful!
Being able to avoid cleaning the canvas only ever seems to work with this particular brand of silicone. I think it’s because this brand is designed to dry. Not all silicone will do that. 😊💕

Love that you answered so many of my questions: how to estimate how much paint to use to reduce waste, your ratio of color to floetrol and silicone and water. And many other tips were helpful!
That’s awesome to hear... thank you DeAna... I’m so happy that this was useful! 😊💕
Myriam, thank you SO MUCH for showing & sharing your talent! and thank you for talking TO me and not AT me :D i am 'researching' different videos/techniques before i start my new passion of acrylic pour, and am just 'smitten' with you!!! i can't wait to see all you've done, and to be with you on future projects - THANK YOU, AGAIN!!!! hugssssssss
😊💕 You are such a sweetheart... thank you so so much Robin!
Yes, Yes, Yes...Please make more videos like this! I love your approach to pour painting very much. This painting is absolutely gorgeous! I am glad to have found your channel.
Thank you so so much Chris... I'm glad you came across this channel too!! 😃
Great video !!
Love your enthusiasm,,,,.....from Nova Scotia, Canada
I've watched so many videos on pours but this is by far the best. Clear instructions and such a calm lovely voice. I too love some negative space to play with. Your pour turned out beautifully...can't wait to see more of your work. Thank you so much!
I love your techniques, especially the finishing details and pulling out little organic looking strands...so beautiful!
Thank you very much Anna!! I hope that you'll give it a go too... It can make pouring even more fun! 😃💖🎨
You are fantastic! I have watched so many videos about pouring and no one has taken the time to explain every little detail like you have. You provided the recipe, explained why you put lighter colors in the bottom of the cup, but my favorite is how you showed ways to manipulate and control the outcome of an art style that doesn't seem to have much control at all. Thank you so much for your time and patience. It's easy to see that you love what you do and your work reflects that love beautifully. Now I need to run to the store and get my supplies because you have inspired me.!!
Oh my gosh... I am thrilled to know that you are inspired to try this now. For me the pour is just the first step, I see it as a puzzle that I need to solve once I have it spread out in the canvas. Letting the paints have all the fun of "making" the painting feels less satisfying somehow so I suspect that taking charge will lead to lots more enjoyment and creativity for you! I wish you endless fun with this. Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment! 😊💕
A most appreciate your explaining how to measure amount of paint needed for a painting as I live on a fixed income and don't want to use more than needed. The tip on what silicone you use and mixing well elinates coating problems later is also very helpful. I love the idea of using a pick comb for spreading the negative paint around as opposed to just puddling it and tilting to have it flow. It achieves the same effect with much less paint. Feathering the paint and dragging it into needed areas is also very useful. Using the torch on random areas where you'd like more cells is also an excellent idea. I deeply appreciate all the detailed information you shared. I've watched a lot of videos but few people take the time to explain the exact measurements they use and often am unsure of just what was used and why. I loved this video and look forward to watching more.
I'm so happy that this was useful Marina! It is a pleasure to share whatever I know especially if it can help prevent waste 😊. I truly hope you will find the other videos helpful ... Not all of them are tutorials exactly but I make sure to share tips in every one. 😊💕 Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words.
Your instructions are so thorough. Thanks Myriam.
fun, fun, fun!!! thank you again Miriam always enjoy learning from you and seeing all the beautiful paintings!
Many thanks for that Cathy... It was so kind of you to say! 💖😊
This tutorial was great and the painting absolutely gorgeous! Thx for sharing!
😊💕
I love 💕 this one. It’s colors reminds me of under the ocean life.
What makes this demo different than the others ...is that Miriam explains how to know how much paint is needed and why each ingredient is needed and what effects you get depending on how much color you use when. Thank you beautiful woman. God bless you on this Easter Suday🐣
What a lovely thing to say ... thank you so much Sandra! I hope that you had a blessed Easter. 😊💕
Looks very organic and serene
Thank you Myriam for including the section about how much paint to use. I am just getting interested in this technique and needed that information. I will be watching more from you. You are very informative and your voice is very soothing.
Thank you Joyce!!
I love the way you manipulated the corners and how little paint you used.
Thank you for explaining the measurements. I haven't seen anyone else do that. Very greatful
It was my pleasure Letha! 😊💕
This video was so helpful to me! As a "Newbie" I had no idea how to figure out how much paint to mix up, if you mix too little- it could have a very adverse effect on your pour, so of course I way overshot on my first 3 pours, and wasted A LOT of paint, the puddle below my pouring rack was twice as deep/thick as on my canvas! I really appreciate you explaining how to roughly calculate this! Thank you! Your painting came out very beautiful!
I have watched hundreds of the pours and I can truly say that I think I like yours the best! It was your additional, personal touches that made this piece so rich!! Thank you. I'm going to try this next!!!
Thank you so very much Deb! I think you will enjoy taking some creative control. 😄🎨💕 Let me know how it goes!
You are the BEST instructor! I’ve learned so much from you! Thank you so much.
That is very nice of you to say.... Thank you!
I have TH-cam on autoplay, which is why I was brought 2 a 2 year old video! I am fascinated with your 5:1 ratio! I love how you then do not have thick paint on your canvas, but actually still see the texture of the canvas. I'll be trying this in the next few weeks. I am very under the weather right now.
I enjoyed your instructions and your quiet spirit. Oh yes, the painting is beautiful.
Your paintings are NOT huge amounts of paint doing it's job all by itself, surprising the painter. You carefully choose only a few colors, you guide the paint over the canvas and decide where it goes. And after that you act like the artist you are, and complete the painting by different kinds of techniques. And you have a very sound attitude to cell forming. I really appreciate that! There are far too many videos on TH-cam where every color shade in the shop is mixed together in quantities enough to paint the kitchen furniture. And they are cell maniacs! Cells are the only thing that matters- the more the merrier! The finished result more often than not looks like a canvas with smallpox. Composition and color scheme are of no importance to them. You are definitely my favorite teacher. Keep pouring, please !
Oh thank you so much Berit! I agree with you wholeheartedly ... And the really sad part about this cell obsession, is that beginners feel like failures if they don't achieve them. Somehow I think the joy of creativity gets lost in the obsession to make paint do something by itself. I very much appreciate your thoughtful and kind comment. I am so happy you enjoy this channel. May the paints be kind to you. 😊💕🎨
"...canvas with smallpox." Brilliant!
Thanks so much for sharing, great tutorial🌺
Wow, I agree 100% I figured I was just the odd one out for not being a fan of CELLSCELLSCELLS. A little bit of color popping is fun and interesting, but as you said, when it's too much, it looks like smallpox or some other "paint disease" lol. I don't like that look at all, I much, much prefer the smoother, more fluid mixing of colors. It's tempting to use a dozen different colors, and once in a while, sure, it's fun to get crazy and just throw down a bunch of paint and see what happens. But I also agree that carefully selecting fewer colors for a theme or specific mood, is a bit more respectable.
Please feel free to check out my own TH-cam channel and acrylic pour projects! I'm very new and would love some feedback and suggestions.
I love the color of the piece.. It has good movement and flow... beautiful...
Many thanks for that Cheri!
Finally! After watching literally hours of TH-cam, I stumbled upon your channel. It's a veritable treasure trove of information! Your explanation of estimating volume of paint for size of canvas is the first time I've heard it introduced! Your voice has a soothing, calm quality to it that makes us want to keep listening. I just tried my very first pour and loved the result! But the next morning I woke up to a different painting! Yikes! My canvas wasn't level! It's not bad, but definitely different and I still like it. You're a great teacher! Thanks so much!!
Many thanks for that Linda. The lack of level has plagued every single one of us at one time (or many) or another. I'm happy that yours ended up a keeper. I'm also glad that you are finding the channel useful. 😊 May you have endless happy pours in your future! If I can ever be of help, just let me know. 😊💕
Love the natural way you do your paintings......best tutorial I've seen...thank you from a new be dirty pour artist...
This is so beautiful! I've watched a lot of "pours"as I've just discovered it about a month ago, and yours is so enjoyable to watch. Relaxing. But, what I was really drawn to was how you manipulated the piece and added YOUR own brush strokes. You put a really cool twist on it. Thank you!
Thank you Marijo... think of a pour as a starting point and I think you’ll enjoy the medium even more. Making a painting “yours” let’s it be different 😊 . Thank you for taking time to be so kind ... I hope you’ll enjoy more of the channel.
I really enjoyed your video. I loved that you let the paint do what it needed to do. You gently coaxed more features out and made it more vibrant. Thank you for the tips.
It was my pleasure... Thank YOU Shell! 😊
It feels like Christmas, new year and birthday at once when I discovered your chanel! You are such a good teacher, so calm and you have such a nice voice. You really know your stuff, and for the first time I felt like wanting to try this since it is done without wasting a ton of paint.
Oh my gosh thank you! I was fascinated by this medium for months but kept being turned off by what seemed like tremendous waste... I would cringe watching some pours 😄. Once I found this could be done without a humongous mess or loss of paint I was hooked! I am thrilled if I can help someone find the fun too, so thank you for taking time to tell me you might start playing. It really added to my morning! 😊💕
Beautiful result! I appreciate your commentary and the clear and concise way you shared your technique-well done and hope for more videos from you!
I love the colors and the way you added such unique touches which made it so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Hi Myriam. I have watched my fair share of acrylic pour videos and yours, thus far, are the best, most informative videos I have come across. Your art is beautiful and your voice is calming, but not boring or coma inducing :)
About 7 years ago, I found acrylic pouring art and wanted so badly to learn how to do it. No one and I mean, no one, would share techniques, ingredients, tips or suggestions. I was told that it was "their" intellectual property and they wouldn't share. I was discouraged, I tried in vain to create cells, to get a decent flow, etc. I gave up. By chance I stumbled upon an acrylic pouring video about 3 weeks ago and have been watching as many as I have time for ever since. I did my first successful pour tonight - after 7 years of disappointment. Your tips and suggestions really helped. It sounds silly, but I have waited for the day I could create one that "worked" and tonight I got it. I'm so excited. Thank you so much for sharing, I am beyond grateful to you (and other youtubers) for taking the time to offer your experience so others can learn. Thanks for the videos and for reading my novel here. LOL. Many thanks, Kathleen
Hi Kathleen! I really hope that I don't sound too corny when I say that your letter is exactly why I make these videos! Thank you so much for taking time to tell me this… It totally made my night! Thinking that sharing a few tips has helped someone create art that they love is beyond rewarding and I hope that I can do for years to come. I wish you many many happy, successful pours and fun! If I can ever answer a question just let me know. I share everything!! 😊💕🌀
Thanks for sharing and for your clear teaching. Very lovely, Myriam
YOU R MY HERO!!! I have been wanting to try fluid pours since day 1 - but it’s been cost prohibitive until recently, but YOU! YOU finally give us all a way to measure & SAVE our paints!!!! Thank you!!! Your newest dedicated subscriber!
That’s awesome to hear... thank you Valerie! As one who hates to waste paint AND money I am happy to share anything that can help others save both. Thank you for subscribing ... I hope that this channel will be useful to you. 😊💕
Excellent instructor! Explains the 'why' of each step and ingredients. Thanks for excellent video.
This looks almost exactly like a Dutch pour painting I did for my daughter's room. I always learn a helpful tip from your vids. Great job!
You answered many questions!! Such a beautiful, organic pour!!
Glad to hear it Shelly... Thank you!
TFS! I loved your tips and your pour. TY so much for the formula to know how much paint to use. The waste of paint in pouring, was something that always bothered me. I felt I was either wasting paint or wasting canvases, when I would try to use the left over and/or drippings on another surface to avoid wasting it. I enjoy it much more using your theory. Now I can use whatever colors I want and I don't feel I must use up what is left from an overmix or overpour. I also like your tip of mixing up the silicone more (others kept saying not to) and you are absolutely right. No more cleaning canvases prior to resin or varnishing them. Please continue to share. I realize that I am a bit late to see this post. But your tips are still relevant and have really made my creative time even more enjoyable. THANKS AGAIN, and God Bless!
Thank you for the instruction as well as creating a lovely painting. I was introduced to this kind of painting by recently being ill and used viewing these videos to pass the time. Now that I'm well again, I intend to gather materials for poring my own art work. Keep on with the videos! I am learning so much.
Just learning and your suggestions very helpful! Thanks and loving the fun! 😊👏🏻❣️
You are an excellent teacher! Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to see more of your videos!
Oh my gosh, thank you Deb! I hope you will enjoy the channel. 💖🎨
I love your demos! Your narratives are though and relevant. So glad you stay on topic.
Thank you Michele!! I'm really happy you're enjoying them. 💖😊
Wow Myriam, you are a great teacher! I'm not in a position to create my own art with poured paint at this time but I'm really enjoying watching your artistry and loving how you explain what, why and how you manipulate the paint to your liking. Thank you. X
Thank you so so much for that Wendy! It was such a lovely comment! 😊💕
MYriam, with a Y.... i love your videos. Your voice is calming. You're instructive and calm. You're not adding random foolish remarks but I feel your sweet kind personality come out. Thank you for your vids. Jill
Many thanks for that E J ... it’s really wonderful to hear ! 😊💕
Thank you for the "ratio of paint to canvas". I have asked this many times of others and haven't got a definite answer. Love the effect you got. I will watch the other videos on your channel and will be watching for more.
OMG that is absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to try it out.
Thank you! This is so much great information! I especially appreciate the guidelines for how much paint is enough.
It was my pleasure… Thank YOU Karin!
Another success, what would we do without you!
Beautiful, looks like a fish coming up out of the water 12:11, I love how you manipulate and enhance the pour, stunning.
Thank you, thank you Christine!!
This is stunning! From the colour selection to finished product! 😍
Thank you sooo much Nat! 😊
love it when you remind us of the measurements!!💙
So beautiful. Best tip ever was the pick. Awesome idea. Glad I found you. Your voice is so soothing to tristen too. Keep it up ma'am you are doing a great job.
New best fan
Many thanks for that Rita. So happy you’re liking the pick ... it’s one of my favorite unconventional tools. 😊
I loved the pick. What exactly is that little stick? I love your teaching
Your video is no only relaxing but purposeful. The addition to your paintings is wonderful to watch. I'm surprise din the month of videos I have watched I haven't come across your channel. I had previously thought pour painting was hit or miss..You have helped me to fine tune my paintings. Thank you
I'm sorry it took a while to find the channel but happy that you find it useful. Thank you so much!
From one Myriam to another! I love your work! 👏🏼👩🎨🎨
I love it.... thank YOU Miriam!! 😊💕
Miriam, thanks so much for this great lesson! I particularly love how you were able to add the finest details with barely a stroke. Also, I appreciate that you have given me a bit of an education about saving on the paint. This turned out beautifully.
Thank you Arlene 🎨😊💖. I'm so happy that you found the video useful!
One of the best videos I've seen on pouring. Thank you!
Oh my gosh Dawn... Thank you so very much!
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your method.
Hi, Myriam,
I enjoyed very much watching your technique. I am a pastel painter
and can not wait to try something new and exciting as pouring paint. Thank you for all the convenient 'tips' on saving paint, etc.
It was my pleasure... Thank YOU Patricia! 😊
Such a beautiful piece! Great tips about how to fix the warp in the boards, thank you. 💗
Love, love, love your explanations that allow others to take control of the painting. A bit of science and the reason behind decisions showcases you know what you’re talking about. Thank you for making these videos!
I love your teaching and your voice. I've learned so much; you give me confidence to get off my bum and create! I particularly like what you do with the edges. I had never thought about that. Thank you!!!!
