I have ALL my artwork to either spray varnish or resin (over 100 pieces and growing). I understand the method for cleaning /prepping canvas for either finish, but my concern is with ceramic tile coasters where a bit of silicone was used. I’ve tried gently wiping with alcohol but it began to smear the paint. I can’t use any water or it will wipe the paint completely off the tile😩. I don’t know what to do
Smart Art Materials & Techniques thank you for your completeness of information and directives. Glad you wear protective equipment when called for. God bless🙏🏼👩🏻🎨🎨🦋 Kimi
Thank you Olga, no one has ever mentioned anything about cleaning the canvases before applying varnishes. I'm shocked I didn't have a problem applying varnish because I didn't clean my canvases first. Now I know what to do.
Very cool great tips and tricks. Silicone can be hard to clean off. What I've found that works best is taking a paper towel. Use it to Soak up any silicone oil on your canvas. Then cover the entire canvas with 2 or 3 coats of mod podge. Then after the mod podge is dry you can resin without difficulty and no fish eyes will appear 😊😊😊
@@purplepanterachick Nope, the mod podge doesn't interact with the resin at all. Its almost like a sealer. I've never had any problems adding resin right on top of the dry mod podge.
@@OlgaSoby I like to use bounty paper towels. To me they're very absorbent. My friend @JOTZdesigns swears by the blue shop paper towels from home depot. She actually uses silicone oil in her resin pours for cells. Then the next day she will wipe the oil off the surface of the resin pour with a blue shop paper towel. Clean it well with a new blue shop towel and 91% isopropyl alcohol then she will do a clear top coat. She doesn't have problems with pits or fish eyes when she does it that way. 😊
This is so helpful to us! You are the only one who went through all this trouble to explain the details of finishing the work- even with all the other videos I've watched, no one has mentioned the things that are so important. I appreciate so much. I would've varnished right over the silicone that I didn't even know was there!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos, I’m learning so much from them. As a beginner I need all the help I can get. You’re a great tutor Olga. Easy to listen to too! Thank you. 😊🙏🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!! I started pouring a little over a month ago and I've learned SO much from your channel. This was my biggest "problem" to figure out. Between Tiktus color Art, Dirty Artist, and yourself, I've had a most colorful time of my life. Keep up the good work and let the good time FLOW 🎨🌊
Hi Olga. My name is Janine and I am very new to acrylic pouring and finishes. Thank you for sharing your amazing skills. I learn so much from you. I am from Sydney Australia and I hope you are staying well and safe in your country and get through this time without problems. You are so lovely and kind. Take care 💜
I love how you teach in your videos! Very understandable ... and I'm a visual learner so talking while you do what your doing is quite helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for showing this!! I have had people buy my art and have been doing polycrylic clear-coats on them and couldn't for the life of me figure out why. Now I feel like a dumb-dumb lol. This was so amazingly helpful and you are so great to watch and learn from!!
Hi Olga! Thanks so much for showing us how you clean silicone from the paint pours. Watching you and your techniques has become one of my favorite things to do. 🙏🏼
Olga, the painting with the orange!!! Wow! So beautiful! But every single painting is so beautiful! You got skills love! Thank you so much for shari g your wisdom with us! I wish i could come paint with you! We'd have so much fun! Have an amazing week! Xoxo 🤗😍🥰😙💜😊💜💜💜💜💜
This was SO HELPFUL! Thank you for such an informative video. I’ve saved it as this is the only video I’ve seen with such detail, which is exactly what I needed. 😊
Thank you Olga for this video. I have used all three of the products individually at different times but never used all three together. I'll happily try that. I have gone away from using silicone and given up hope of really nice cells but it would be nice to occasionally have the option.
You're so helpful! I'm very sensitive to smells so I really appreciate your wisdom on which products are low toxic and smells very bad. Thank you for showing your techniques to remove silicone to prep for resin. I have not liked the sprays for coating. But didn't know how to resin my art. Thank you 😊 💓
Thank yo so much for this in-depth video. I use silicone a lot and wasn’t sure how to remove the excess silicone. Great job! I love your channel. You are so personable and fun to watch. I have tried so many of you techniques. I hope to be as good as you are. I keep practicing so maybe one day!
Thank you so much! I love your videos. I am learning so much. My 1st few pours didn't quite turn out how I wanted, but as I was learning that is fine. I used silicone in them and left them 4 weeks before using them to practice resin pouring over them. I didn't realise I needed to clean them 1st. This explains why the edges didn't have resin on them at all, and why I ended up with tiny fish eyes on them. Glad I watched this before doing any more!!
@@OlgaSoby have just cleaned and re-resined the 2 that I practiced on. Fx I did a good enough job! Don't want to move on to my slightly better art until I have it right!!
Olga thank you sooooo much for this video, You had answered a question I had in an email an thanks, but this video really answered as to what i was doing wrong with my application of resin to my acrylic pour, This video should deff be highlighted on your channel for beginners. this would have saved me so much time had i seen it before i started coating with resin. thanks so much for your work and instructional videos.
You and your channel are extremely knowledgeable and informative for those of us who are starting out. You are really inspiring. Thank you VERY much for the useful tips...even though you feel that you are talking too much...it's all helping us to become better at pouring. Keep it up!
Super video! thanks for continuing to produce such fantastic videos! I know this kind of video is not as sexy as a pour video but I found this video to be enlightening and so necessary for this method of creating artworks! Thanks you Olga!
As a chemist, i deal with silicones almost daily. The reason you get cells is silicones are hydrophobic (they hate water, like mixing oil in water), and they form micelles in the hydrophilic paint & water. I believe a much better solvent to remove silicones would be hexanes. Varsol would be a great alternative, as both solvents are non-polar, like the silicones. “Like dissolves like”. Love your channel and will try my first swipe this weekend.
Thank you so much for this! Iv’e only just started pouring a few months ago, and I never cleaned my work when they were done. I didn’t know! Thank you so much, and your work is always so beautiful!❤❤❤
Thanks for demonstrating safe practices whilst dealing with serious chemicals. It concerns me how many people are not being careful enough regarding dangerous vapours etc. As always, a clear, well planned and informative video. Thanks heaps!
Thanks for all your cleaning information. I poured half a charcuterie board 3 weeks ago and have been thinking about the best way to prep for a resin coat.
Thanks Olga, it was very helpful 👍. I enjoy all of your videos and your wonderful personality...in fact I believe that's what I enjoy the most! You are delightful and creative, a beautiful combination and a remarkable soul. Watching you is comparable to listening to good music my friend. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this. I've had to pour resin twice on all my paintings because of little spots in the first resin coat. I kept thinking that I needed to create a barrier between the paint and the resin. I didn't know what to use. I will definitely try the gel medium!!! Very helpful!!!
I found a terrific silicone pad. Instead of a $10 makeup spreader, I got a silicone wrist rest for your mouse use. Dollar store, about 4" x 2". The work goes much faster and smoother. Thanks for this video. I learn SO much from you
I just use baby wipes. I find as long as the canvas is cleaned thoroughly two separate times, the wipes are enough to clean it ready for varnishing - after a day or two. Never forget to dust your work before varnishing as it totally stuffs your work up if you have dust in it.
This is such a useful video. Thank you. I always shy away from silicone because I can never clean the canvas properly afterwards. Im going to keep trying. Thank you for doing this 👍🏻
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! I was just about to try Art Resin for the first time. It’s been awhile since I’ve been doing any finishes on my paintings, so I thought I would check out one of your prep videos for removing silicone. So glad that I did. I had never heard of a barrier layer before. Such a smart thing to do! I have some Golden gel, so I will definitely be giving that a try. Also I had only ever used straight alcohol, which took off pigment, even when paintings were dry for 4 weeks or more. I love your videos, so informative. So kind of you to share your knowledge too.
Thank you for the great information. I have started using Helmers silicone. Not sure why but it is a great silicone that only takes a drop or two to get the effects I want. It also does not leave much residue on the surface of my canvases. So it is a double Tadah for me. I love your sparkle. May abundance come your way.
I use Australian or American Floetrol and Gac 800, it depends on what type of technique. I also do a mix that contains Liquitex varnish. simple things I will also do Elmers Glueall but I always seem to add Golden Gac 800 to help on cracking.
Always very much enjoy your videos. I looked up a paint to canvas ratio calculator and was surprised that it was made by you as well. I've only made a handful of paintings and can see the improvement from one to the next, much thanks to you for sharing your knowledge :)
Thank you. I really learned so much from you in this video. I appreciate you taking the time to explain all of this to us. The info in this video will be quite helpful to me in my future works.

So very vary helpful! Isolatjon coat for resin...I can't believe I have never heard of that before. That will help me because I use silicone and it has made me shy away from resin as a top coat because of the resist. Thanks again for this video.
Thank you so much Olga from Montreal (Quebec) Canada... So instructive!! I’ve learned a lot !!! Continue...love to learn for you, you are so talented !!
This was extremely helpful ~ And I had no idea that a painting should wait 2-3 weeks before it is ready to sell! But it makes good sense ~ I love your personality, creativity and zero fear of color' 🙋💜💌
@@OlgaSoby It truly is because I am in the process of redirecting myself from my previous career ~ New beginnings ...Out with the old and in with the new ~ All the creative, healing aspects of myself. This artform truly is healing ~ Sleep Well Olga 😊
Hey Olga! Thank you for the informative video! I always wondered what to do after my pours dried. I’ve been mixing my paint with Liquitex pouring medium as well as 2-3 drops of Silicone. My pours usually dry up by the 3rd day so do you think I should use windex then? Or give it a few more days? I haven’t started using Resin or Varnish yet but plan on testing both out after I made a couple more pours. Also thank you for all the content you have been posting! It’s cause of you my wife and I started Acrylic pouring channel as a therapeutic hobby of ours! :] It’s good to see fellow Canadians paving the way as well as showing there love for the abstract art! There’s not a lot of us in our region! :( Thank you again Olga and hope to see more informative tutorials! :)
Thank you so much, and yes - fluid art in Canada growing very slowly but steadily❤ I would recommend waiting for at least a week before cleaning, better 2 weeks. This way you will not lift up any pigment during the process
Smart Art Materials & Techniques Sounds good! I have about 10-15 canvas I haven’t touched after they dried so I got to dedicate time to wipe them! XD Thank you again! 😊
I used Dawn and washed my canvas well, still pitting when resin applied. Now I will add alcohol to the Dawn! Thanks! Plus the isolation coat makes so much sense.

This was extremely helpful ~ And I had no idea that a painting should wait 2-3 weeks before it is ready to sell! But it makes good sense ~ I love your personality, creativity and zero fear of color' 🙋💜💌
Glad it was helpful!
@@OlgaSoby It truly is because I am in the process of redirecting myself from my previous career ~ New beginnings ...Out with the old and in with the new ~ All the creative, healing aspects of myself. This artform truly is healing ~ Sleep Well Olga 😊
@@lalani888ARTblue so wonderful! This is the most beautiful and important journey you are on
This video was awesome! I’ve learned so much from you, and look forward to learning more! Thank you so much!! 😁
Hey Olga! Thank you for the informative video! I always wondered what to do after my pours dried. I’ve been mixing my paint with Liquitex pouring medium as well as 2-3 drops of Silicone. My pours usually dry up by the 3rd day so do you think I should use windex then? Or give it a few more days? I haven’t started using Resin or Varnish yet but plan on testing both out after I made a couple more pours. Also thank you for all the content you have been posting! It’s cause of you my wife and I started Acrylic pouring channel as a therapeutic hobby of ours! :] It’s good to see fellow Canadians paving the way as well as showing there love for the abstract art! There’s not a lot of us in our region! :(
Thank you again Olga and hope to see more informative tutorials! :)
Thank you so much, and yes - fluid art in Canada growing very slowly but steadily❤
I would recommend waiting for at least a week before cleaning, better 2 weeks. This way you will not lift up any pigment during the process
Smart Art Materials & Techniques Sounds good! I have about 10-15 canvas I haven’t touched after they dried so I got to dedicate time to wipe them! XD Thank you again! 😊
Thank you Olga for the detailed and specific description! Please tell us how long should to dry the isolation layer made of gel medium and water?
Thank you Olga you are so helpful always. 👍🌹🙋♀️
You are so welcome, Kerri!😉
I used Dawn and washed my canvas well, still pitting when resin applied. Now I will add alcohol to the Dawn! Thanks! Plus the isolation coat makes so much sense.
Isolation coat works like a charm! Definitely use it for resin
