Good to know! 👍🏻
Two questions for you would enamels work ? Also when your artwork is dry do you put a clear gloss over it or just leave it as is ? Thanks 😊
@@tracysavage599 I always put a varnish on to give it some shine and to add dust and UV protection. Some enamels work you have to test with your paints and mediums.
Thank you! You are a great teacher! I've never done this but it looks so creative and fun!
❤❤😮 Thank Yoou!! I've been searching you are right there's only one other acrylic fluid Artist that sorta teaches you, but it doesn't break it down, Ive gotten many ideas from Fluid Acrilic Pours for my Organic Soap Making, however I do not have the money for floetrol and all that other stuff so trying to make something very special for my mom. She just had a baseball-sized tumor removed and it was diagnosed with 4th stage lung cancer and I want to have it done by the time she gets back from her Radiation Treatment, and all my $ goes towards medical expenses for her..However I know everyone feels the pinch these days..I Just wanna do a Good Job..I have my Canvas, my acrylics, but no pouring Mediums or Laquer..So, Ty❤❤
You are a natural teacher. I was getting frustrated feeling like I was getting nowhere because I was just watching professional artists like yourself, but they did not break it down like you. Thank you for sharing.
Glad to help Cecila. Have you started pouring yet?
@LeftBrainedArtist Yes, but I plan on practicing just simple pours first.
I agree that the instructions were spot on for me too . Being autistic, I need clear direction.
I feel like you are talking directly to me. You need to be a motivational speaker! Just do it!
😄😅😆 I just love ya'll in the Pouring Nation. You really do need to set a time and get your first one done. You thought you were addicted before, just wait till after!
lol. exactly my thoughts. he knows his audience.
Yes... absolutely addicted now!!
Wow! David I wish I found you when I first started, although only 2 weeks ago. I bought stuff I didn’t need.
For being a beginner! Your awesome. Thank you!💕
Felt like he was talking to me too.
You're the first artist that truly explains the way a beginner can follow and understand. Thank you so much for making these videos! I am so glad I found you. You rock!
You're very welcome Jessica. Glad to help.
Agreed thank you💖
What she said
Thank you so very much for explaining for us, who love acrylic pouring for beginners! I love ❤️ this kind of art, and would like to try this. Greetings from Utah, and thank you again for your easy to understand instructions. I am very excited to start.
Thanks so much great video! 😍
I feel so happy that I click into this video. Thank you much 😊
You’re welcome 😊 Have you started pouring yet?
Yes today I am trying a simple pouring on a mini canvas 🥰 thank you!!!!!! 🌞
As a new-ish wheelchair user, I feared trying this, but you're easy instructions have inspired me to NEVER stop painting. THANK YOU
Glad to help and glad to hear you're keeping up with painting Andee.
Are you a fly on my wall? I have watched dozens of your videos, bought everything I need, yet haven't taken the plunge. Came across this video...and TODAY is the day! you have encouraged me to stop watching and start doing. Thank you, truly.
You can do it!
@@LeftBrainedArtist Did 3 pours on paper, looks pretty bad, but as you always say- I learned things...and at least I got over the hump. Can't get elmer's glue in my country, so bought ridiculously expensive pouring medium, but also bought cheap clear glue. I learned that you can use cheap glue, don't need the expensive stuff. That was a valuable lesson!
If you ever get tired of "IT", you would be a great Art teacher! Seriously! Being able to do something doesn't necessarily mean one can teach it to others. YOU CAN!
As a retired teacher, am qualified to say that. 😁LOL
So nice of you to say. Thanks!
Dude… best instructional video regarding paint pours ever… seriously grateful for your time, energy and dedication to allow us newbies to feel like we don’t have to watch endless videos of others pouring in order to try and deduce the W5’s of it all!
Appreciate you!!❤🎉
I am glad to hear that Wendy. I blame my mom (a school teacher for 20 years) and how she taught me as a kid.
Here’s a tip that works great for me and maybe for others as well. I keep a few large cups on my table. One for pink/purple, one for blue/green, one for gray/black…you get the idea. Then when I scrape my canvas or table top, or even the last drops in my mixing cups, I put that into my large cups. You’d be surprised at the beautiful colors! Now I always have “free” paint for my base coats and flow extenders. Have also used them to fix sides of the canvas. No waste!!
Ooh, great idea. How long do they last? Do you keep track of which have silicone?
They last a long time. Months. I cover them with plastic wrap secured with a rubber band. I don’t use silicone and all are mixed with floetrol and some have a bit of liquitex pm as well. Some are metallic and some regular acrylic. Always the cups turn into a pretty metallic color. Funny that I’ve been doing this for a long time and have never turned my cup to mud! Sometimes I’ll pour a little into a small cup and use it in a pour.
That is a great idea 🎶
@@eunicedavis6250 great advice eunice ..thanks
OMG!! You, my dear, are a genius.
TODAY WAS THE DAY!!! I mixed my paint, i grabbed a canvas and gave it a try... 9 pours later I have paintings everywhere and no room to do anything now!!! LOL. It is soooooo easy and fun and addictive as all heck! Thanks for the great informational video!!
You definitely caught the bug didn't you Pete?
@@LeftBrainedArtist Yes, yes I did. I woke up 2 hours before I needed to this morning and instantly thought about it. i got up shortly after and poured two more. went and bought more supplies today.. hahahahahaha!!!!
This was a great video, and after watching many videos, you by far are THE BEST instructor ❤❤❤❤ thank you ❤😊
Thank so much. Glad to help my friends.
Yes, you were right; "today is the day..." Very satisfied with my first 3 pourings😃.
Now the only problem... I'm hooked 🤣
I know right!?! Good for you for starting
You're the Only person who explains everything! Thanks so much 🙏
Happy to help Lisa.
THANK YOU! I will not even say how long I’ve been procrastinating with this! 🤷♀️this helps me immensely!!
It is definitely time to start Amy!
Same here
Thank you for the push! I am definately binge watching and not starting!!
You definitely need to start Angela.
Love this video. So easily and comprehensively explained....and yes I am guilty of binging "how to" videos.
Glad to help Rachel. Let me know when do your first pour or if you have any questions
You are so sweet. It's great that you encourage people to just do it because people, like myself, really will talk themselves our of doing things.
You can do it for sure Elle. If this guy can, anyone can.
Boy isn't that the truth. Lolol
I’m brand new (still haven’t done my first pour) and I’m binge watching your videos. I really appreciate the analytical approach you use. I’ve learned so much today despite having spent months watching other channels.
Welcome aboard! But you need to start pouring right now. It is SO much more fun than watching Cindy!
@@LeftBrainedArtist went to my paint area and did my first pour! Thanks for the nudge. Didn’t turn out as I expected but learned some valuable lessons for the next pour. Only bought that canvas 5+ years ago 🤪
@@cindyg1125 Good on you Cindy!! Great to see another complete newbie around! If you see my earlier comment you will see that I did my first just recently and failed miserably! I am gearing up to try again so lets just keep at it!! ♥️♥️
I liketo learnhow to paint
I did this with 9 teens at my library and we all had a great time thanks
I've done a few pouring parties with Teens. They all seem to love it too. I have one scheduled for next week again too.
One of the best videos. You are a gifted painter and a teacher
Wow, thank you Zia.
Where in the heck were you a year ago when I was attempting to learn from the big guns, which was all I could find?...but seriously, thank you for the thoughtful way you teach, not missing anything!. You are not only tall with very long arms 😜, but you are also a very good teacher 🍎
Thanks Consuelo. I really appreciate that. Glad this one was helpful also.
@@LeftBrainedArtist I totally agree with Consuelo! Thank you for this!
I love your teaching techniques!!
Even I understand the process more 😁. Thank you for putting yourself out there for us newbies!!
Awesome! Thank you Diane.
I have been bing watching TH-cam videos!!! and today my friend and I are going to do our first pour together!! Your a great teacher!
That is awesome! Let me know how it goes Heather.
Best painting channel I've found! Thanks.
Wow, thank you Holly. I really appreciate that.
Love your enthusiasm to share and how clearly you explained everything. I’m gonna do it! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Let me know how it goes.
You are an amazing teacher. You took it right to the basics and explained and demonstrated everything very clearly. As you said, I have bought all the tools I need and watched many videos, but it's your teachings that have given me the confidence to attempt it now. Thank you for the reminder to note everything down, too. Thank you..Thank you...Thank you.
Let me know how it goes Niki.
❤❤❤❤best budget pouring video!!!! Thank u sooo much!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for such clear explanation, training rather than performing
Glad to help. Let me know if you have any more questions.
I am very grateful to you for doing this video.
I'm a noob - and because of this video I finally did it.
I've done 16 pours in a couple of weeks - and finally got one I like!
But it takes doing it - like anything in life you just have to jump in.
Thank you!
YAY Reenie! Glad you got going and that you already love one of your paintings. We are always hardest ourselves to so make sure you ask some trusted people what they think before you go scraping or throwing things away.
This is the best tutorial I've seen! Thanks for sharing HOW MUCH of each paint ingredient to use! Going to attempt to do this with nine-year-olds at a birthday party!
My 9 year old loves helping me with my pours. I've done a few activities with our local young women's group also. Always a hit activity.
All of us need that push most of the time. Thank you so much.
You are welcome Uma. Have you already started? If so, how is it going?
So happy i found your sight. You explained it perfectly!
Awesome to hear Constance. Let me know if you have more questions.
Thank you very much for the explanation of how thick the color should be. I have never understood what everyone is looking at, when they see the color fall into the cup. Now I am so inspired and now I will finally dare to paint❤️
Let me know how it goes Maria.
Hi! I've just watched your video and I'm SOOOOO PLEASED that I did. I've been watching loads of other artists and only just stumbled onto your channel. Thank goodness I did because I'm really impressed with how you have explained everything to us viewers. It's definitely the best video I've seen for the complete novice looking to start their own paint pouring journey! Thank you so much, all the way from the UK! 😊
Awesome! Thank you so much.
❤
You are AWESOME!! Taught me well very unlike other videos that take sooooo long. THANK YOU ♥️
Happy to help!
Thank you so much I fully agree with Jessica. So appreciate how you made it so easy to understand. Thank you you once again and I am sloshed glad I found you. Have a great day Susan 🎨🎨🎨
Glad it was helpful Susan. Good luck!
I’ve watched so many and then I ran into this one. I learned so much from it. Thank you so much. It was clear and concise. So helpful!
You are so welcome! That was my problem when I first started. Information overload.
Wow…..you made it easy to follow AND so encouraging that I really feel I can take that first step. Where have you been this last year when I’ve watched other artists on my phone?
Thank you for the video, you are such a good teacher, i am a beginner, and this was so usefull for me. Greetings from Croatia
You're very welcome Kristina. What brands of paint to you use in Croatia?
@@LeftBrainedArtist I am using Solo Goya brand of colours and pouring medium, and Royal Talens black and white
You're a great TH-cam teacher!
Wow, thank you Jusin.
I cannot tell you how informative. Everything I had questions was answered. Thanks
You're welcome Cynthia. Glad to help.
How did you know I've been binge watching pour painting 🤣 okay so time to put it to practice! I'm loving your videos by the way - very helpful. Thanks heaps
You can do it Jo. Doing is so much more fun than watching.
I been wanting to do this for awhile, but didn't how to get started until came across your video. Thank you so much for explaining it well for a beginner like me. 👍🏻
You are so welcome! How did it go?
I shared and downloaded this video for my grand children. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing Lucy!
I so appreciate your teaching style and a nice and understanding voice "without" a bunch of comedic filler. I like your L brained approach. Compliments from this Virgo
Thanks Natasha. Glad to help.
I know I'm watching this a year after you posted, but this still deserves a comment😉 I really appreciate this video! It has great info, the pours are beautiful, and you did a great job of inspiring people to just try😁 We all have a story, right? But we all need to create! I don't care if it's creating spreadsheets...but this had been a fun avenue to discover! I appreciate your videos and have watched you for over a year. Apparently, I have not caught all of them😂 I'm so glad you are still posting. I appreciate you🤗
Thanks my friend. Glad to help and I agree. Everyone needs to feel the joy from creating something.
Where was this video when I first started? Excellent teaching for anyone just starting out. Thanks a lot. Really liked the tile and loved that picture you hated and covered. I was screaming at you (in my head) not to cover it ;-)
Thanks Hawk. Sorry I didn't get to it earlier but hopefully it will help some others. A little of that painting shows through now that the pour is dried. Kind of a cool effect actually. Might have to try that as a pour technique some day.
I’m so glad I found you video. You have assisted so much for me to push my artistic creativity to a higher level. I so appreciate the how to basic on acrylic pour creating beautiful fluid art painting.
Thanks so much for the kind note Jeanine.
Holy moly...you make it look so easy...im going to try this with my grand daughter...tar heaps.
Have fun! let me know how it goes.
THANK YOU!!! I have always wanted to try this and you made it extremely easy....can't wait to get started!!!
Good luck!! Let me know how it goes Chris.
Because of YOU, I just completed my first pours!! I’ve been watching videos and procrastinating with all the supplies. Here’s to more pours and hopefully learning seascape painting soon. Thank you!
Great job! So glad to hear that. Here's to more awesome paintings.
I've watched several TH-cams and read several blogs/webpages about pouring, but yours is the FIRST that mentioned a level. Brilliant! Now I don't have to learn that trick only after making one or more disasters - thank you!
I like my disasters. They teach me the most. But I can totally understand being able to limit them by learning from other people.
You are a great teacher. I was very intimidated but really want to try acrylic paint pouring. Im disabled and on a fixed income and thought i would need to buy a bunch of supplies to do this form of art. I also was second guessing my ability to create something so beautiful. Your words of encouragement have given me the courage to just do it. Thank you.
You can definitely do this on the cheap and still get some amazing results. Let me know how it goes or if you have more question Jes!
You are an awesome teacher & and a great artist. This is the first video I watched from you. Now going to watch all the videos by you. Thank you!
Wow, thank you Molly. Always glad to help!
That was an amazing learning video and I can't wait to do this, thank you! It helped me immensely!!
You are so welcome Beverly. I hope you have as much fun as I do.
Thank you for taking time to explain the way you did. You made me not to be afraid and start already enjoying and use all the supplies I have.
I am looking forward to seeing your first pours Marina.
I like the way you show and explain things for my left brain
Thanks so much. Glad to help.
Watched two days ago and did my first pour tonight, it came out great and it was so much fun. One pour and I learned so much. Thanks!
Doing is by far the best teacher. So glad it is working our for you Drew.
Excellent video. You hit the nail on the head - “quit just watching and DO”! I’ve poured about 20 small canvases so far - always a learning process.
Wonderful Victoria! Do you feel like you learn more by doing than watching?
Absolutely, once you start you cant stop. Love it. Just expensive
What you said at the begining made me laugh, absolutely spot on. I have tried, not very good, now I'll try again. Thank you.
You’ve got this Martin!
What a great way to explain just how easy your first pour can be, appreciate the lesson. Off to watch your updated video to see if I can learn more, thanks
Hope it helps and that you start soon Kim. Let me know how it ges.
Thank you!! Just did my first pour after lurking for weeks; thanks to you!
Wonderful new Ally. I hope you loved it as much as I do.
Thank you! Love the way you explain EVERYTHING to where i totally could follow your just what i've been needing,now i'm going on line to order paints and glue etc. Thanks again♓😁
You got this Tina. The fun is in the doing for sure. Plus you learn so much more.
Ha ha! This was literally my first beginner paint pour video. Looking for an easy family project. Thanks 😊
You are so welcome! My daughter and wife love to pour with me.
You are an exceptional teacher. Thank you for this clear and concise instruction. Gotta get started!
You can do it Debby!
Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to try this for a few years. I have finally done it and I love it.
Wonderful to hear Gina. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Soo excited to try this. Ive been thinking about looking into it, and finally started watching these today, and it looks soooo easy and fun. I have paint, canvases, and some random things around the house, so I'll need to maybe pick up a few things, but today's the day!!
Yes. Today is the day! You'll be glad you start. Pouring is so fun.
I am so happy to hear that the thinking part of pouring is over for you!. Let the fun begin. I started painting out of necessity, I needed something to spark my brain out of severe PTSD. I found Sarah Mack (love her). After watching for a couple of months, I again recognized the power of colors.
The rest is history!.
I've decided that you have to be an artist to do this. Not just anybody can do it. That anybody is me. All my colors run together and I end up with a poop brown canvas
Great explanation. You're a great teacher. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
OMG, YOU POINTED AT ME AND TOLD ME YOU KNEW I WAS BINGE WATCHING, I SHOULD DO MY POUR TODAY, AND I DID , IT WAS AMAZING, WASN'T PERFECT., BUT I'M ELATED. THANK YOU.
You are so welcome. Now lets see what you can create!
That tree ring pour is my favorite! I love the soft look to it. Thank you for the teaching video. I watch all I see pop up. Getting the right consistency for the type pour is my biggest challenge. This helped so much.
You are so welcome Vonelle. It is the most important, and also the most difficult, part of acrylic pouring in my opinion.
@@LeftBrainedArtist that has sure been my experience! Thank you again for all the help you provide.
I'm an artist (BFA Ohio University) but a real rookie on this amazing genre. I'm retired and my wife and I do craft shows. I can't wait to create some beautiful pieces. I love your educational tutorials. I hated the videos that showed techniques to music with NO "teacher" talking; the "instructor" never explains the process as they progress through the piece. "Clever" text inserts to explain the process doesn't cut it. I hope these artists would never use this style for children; young adults, (or even newbies) trying learn anything using virtual education.
That's was pretty much the impetus for me to create the channel. I couldn't find the information in a way that made me understand the whole process. Glad it was helpful. I also look forward to seeing the amazing art you'll create.
You truly want to help people learn this technique, you’re awesome!
And now it is time for you to try your first pour if you haven't already Elaine.
I've been watching a lot of the acrylic pouring videos for the last week or so and many of them seem incredibly complex looking or the results are. But I wondered how to do it, what kind of supplies one would need and I was so happy to find your video! It was nice to see that you don't have to spend a lot of money on paints or supplies. It looks relatively inexpensive. And I loved every one of your acrylic pours that you did here! Thank you for Not only being a great teacher but for taking the time to show me a new way of painting. A way of painting totally different from the traditional way I've always practiced, which is oil painting or acrylic painting with brushes on a canvas. Subscribed! 🌹
Thank so much! Glad to help. Let me know if you have more questions. I am always looking for new ideas for videos and questions are my best source for those ideas.
Followed your instructions and did my first tree ring pour today ... very happy with the results!
Great job! So glad to hear that.
Thank you, Sir Teacher! It came in handy for me now, because I started recently, and I did some bad ones. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
So glad to help Annabell. Good luck on your future pours.
I love that you tell me how much paint I need for what size base! THANK YOU
You are so welcome! Glad to help.
10:58 to 12:04 .Thank you for showing how to test the consistency of the paint by making mound shapes and rings that disappear instantly. Very helpful
Glad to help Jo Kh. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much! This is just the ‘nudge’ I needed to just get on with my first pour. I’ve just done 4 - learned a lot already! I’ve watched many ‘pouring acrylic’ videos but yours are so clear and by far the best. Thanks again.
You are so welcome Jan. Welcome to the obsession . . . I mean club.
@@LeftBrainedArtist 🤣🤣. yes I can see it becoming a bit of an obsession. Already thinking about the next ones. I guess that’s something else that I need to learn - patience.
Your awesome! Thanks for being so motivating and supportive to make me the viewer lol more confident and I finally just got all I needed and while watching you I did my first one and I'm now can't wait to do more!!! Thank you!
That is awesome! Hope you love it as much as I do.
God Bless You More for Sharing this Video!
Thanks so much Ferdie.
Done and done. Son is in his way down and we're about to have some spring break 10:30 pm paint pours. Rock and roll.
Thanks my guy, that push legit did it. I've been waiting MONTHS (ok actually since quarantine when I went so fkn extra & bought enough to fill a small art shop lol). Bout dang time.
Here we go.... I'm excited!
🙏🎨👩🎨🤍👨🎨🖌️🖼️
YES! Let me know how it goes.
Love this video. I’m going to show it to my niece who wants to try paint pouring. The tree ring one came out great :)
Please do! It really is an easy and awesome artform.
THANK YOU. Someone finally did an actual " How to mix " video. Nice one mate. thanks for this. Sending you wishes of positive abundance. From the U.K ;)
Much appreciated Tara. Glad to help.
You are a great teacher! Thank you!
Wow, thank you Myriam.
Excellent tutorial, best I’ve seen yet making it the most helpful to date. Thank you, thank you 🙏🏻 now I’ve got this 😍
You're very welcome Linda.
THANK YOU for this video! I've been just such a person, binge-watching other people's acrylic pours, but always wanting to try it for myself. We bought all the materials and then just didn't really know where to go from there. Your video was very instructive, especially about mixing the paints and helping viewers recognize the correct pouring consistencies. Our first pours may not have gone *exactly* how we wanted, but they still look pretty cool, and we have plenty of paint and canvases remaining to try again a few more times without more purchases.
You go Jenny. Isn't pouring so much fun? Just take your time, make small changes and keep track of what works and what doesn't and you'll be pouring masterpieces in no time. Also, love your failures. They make you better and should be celebrated too!
Me too!!! Making Christmas gifts early. Ill frame them first
You read my mind. Good, clear description. I'm planning my first pour today. 🙂
You can do it!
This is the information I've needed for months. Thanks so much!
So glad! Christine. Let me know how your painting goes!
Thanks! I've been painting for a while, but I still learned some great stuff from this.
I can't pour today, because my cat will complain. 😆
During lockdown he has become accustomed to have constant access to my lap. Since I paint with a large plastic tub on my sofa (what could go wrong with that) he's decided that the best option is to stare at me with big eyes until the guilt becomes to much and I have to stop painting. So, I paint every other day, to keep the peace.
I did paint yesterday and you are totally right, you just have to jump in and see what happens. One of my favourites is actually one I did really early, but every pour is a learning experience, even if I end my session scraping all the paint back off the canvases. And my painting journal is my go to guide for experiments, tracking what worked and what didn't etc.
Excellent news. Does your cat "paint" too? The cat I used to have wouldn't stay away and want to paw everything and make a mess.
@@LeftBrainedArtist He has a huge fluffy tail that will get into things from unfathomable distances and occasionally gets in it. His thing is glitter. He loves the stuff. He always has to have some on when I have it out, and I buy my glitter by the kilo, so it's fairly often.
The thing is, he's been used to me crafting from when he was young. I sit on the couch with my legs crossed up and he lies on one side and I twist and craft on the other.
He could sit on my lap, but I wouldn't be giving him 101% of my attention. He is very entitled and pandered to, hence every other day is a Corvinus Day.
I used to have one that would manage to walk through any kind of paint anywhere you put it and looked away for a few moments. We still have a line of white paw prints leading from the cat flap and down the front path. She also tried to stick her head in a bowl of hair dye once, but he managed to stop her, but she did have a pink flash for a bit.
@Dashing Shadowbolt, Love your art stories AND your cat stories!!
I'm a beginner at this and I've posted 2 videos so far of my 2 "pour paint" attempts... and yes, my kitty, Adirah, is in the background of both videos, giving some protest that my lap is not currently available during painting time!! 🤣🤣🤣
I am excited to have found your video! I have a couple friends that have been doing this for a couple years, but they are not good teachers 😁 You make me feel I can actually do this 😀 Gonna give it a shot! I have a blacklight room I have been wanting to desperately make cool crap for .... And I believe you have given me the tools to do that! Thank you so much... Wish me luck 🤞
Thank you so much. Glad to help and can't wait to see what you create.
Haha today is my day for my first pour and have my table ready lol and end up on his page 😂❤❤
Let me know how it goes Carrie.
@leftBrainedArtist For sure 👍 think im ready now after being distracted watching the videos for past hour and half 🥴
I will try my very first pouring thank you so much I hope that I will succeed thank you so much teaching me this old lady.❤
Best of luck Sunny. let me know how it goes.
Thumbtacks for leveling !!!
You teach me something new every day 😁 and I thought I was a good “rigger” but that’s super smart, adjust as you want. Easy Peasy
Aaaand, as I like to say,
“ There’s no bad pour, only the one you didn’t attempt. “
It’s sooooooo fun,
( not meant to cause concern and stress 😂 )
Everyone enjoy your pour !!
Thanks again !!!
☮️💟&🦄’s
You can try wall hooks too Julie. You can screw them in and out on the different sides to help level you if you something a little easier to handle.
@@LeftBrainedArtist
Stoooooop !!!
even better.
Your too handy ! 😂😂
Thanks
☮️💟&🦄’s
Thank you, this was so helpful in getting me prepared to start my paint pouring journey.
Awesome Dawn. You are going to love it!
OMG HE TOTALLY NAILED ME WITH THE INTRO!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay
Now that I've watched the whole thing, I'd like to compliment you on not just your teaching skills, but you are such an encourager!! I've been dragging my feet, but now I'm going to just jump on in!!!
Thank You! 😃👍🏻💥💫
it is totally worth jumping in and learning by doing.
Thank you so much for this video. I went out and got supplies and did it after watching. It took 4 tries to get the tree ring but the final result is epic. Cant wait for more
Wonderful! So excited to see what you create.
Thank you so much for this video, I have been procrastinating about this for literaly years! I have now finally done my first pour after watching your video! I love it!! So much fun! and i got some great results.
Awesome to hear my friend. Glad to help.
Brilliant! I've sent this link to my friend who's hesitating to put her toe in the water! Thank you :-)
Thanks for sharing! She definitely just needs to get started. So much fun to be had an amazing art to be created.
Thanks for this video and your encouragement! It's been 6mos since my fiancé passed away unexpectedly. I haven't painted since a week before that. He was always my cheerleader when I would paint. I hear him saying the same words as you have said in this video. So, today is the day. I'm gonna put down my phone, set up my "pour station" that James built for me, then actually paint! Here I go...
Yes Kristin. I am sorry about your loss my friend. You are right that he would have wanted you to continue the things that make you happy.
You are a great teacher. I am so glad I watched this video. You are awesome
Wow, thank you! Have you started yet Donna?
