I still like them. That’s what I like about you David you’re not afraid to try. You inspired me to try pour painting. I’m getting better. So Thank you!
Neat experiment! I really liked the hints of spray paint in the layers of the first one, before you did the dip. I tried spray paint a couple of years ago, to try to make chameleon cells come out of a solid background! But alas, it formed a skin and the cells couldn’t grow. Always fun to experiment, though!
It's real good to have you back with us David. It seems ages. I know you're not happy with the way these turned out but I think both look really good, despite not being what you wanted them to be.
first, the cells in the red paint on the edge were amazing, then that green combined with the spray paint gold was a beautiful color combo, love this experiment!
Because the spray paint sits on top of the acrylic paint, when you put the wet paper towel on top it just pulls the spray paint off. I still think they are really pretty.
I think these are gorgeous! The first would be a beautiful flower if you painted some stamens coming out of the center. The second one is very dramatic and looks like a pansy. Well done!
Were any of those spray paints acrylic based? I'm wondering if that would behave differently. Also, I like that little bit of forearm geometry you used to find the center of the canvas.😂
Welcome back, again! I'm sure there must be a way to make that work but I haven't had any luck with oil based spray paints in my art at all. I bought that easy sprayer thingy at sherwin Williams and I'm gonna give that a try with acrylics made into spray. I even spent way too much money on Montana and Amsterdam acrylic spray, that didn't work either 😢
I think anytime the pain moves you are going to lose the paint regardless of the technique. I am working on some new experiements that I hope will pan out.
Nice tests as always! Wonder if there is some way to use the spray paint to pour (mixing it with some medium) and how it compares to normal metallic paint pouring
I can't think of a way to make it cost effective and still maintain the cool sheen besides spraying it on at the end and hope some of the film it creates stays visible. But I am going to keep trying to figure something out.
I have my silicone mat on it and that provides enough "stickiness". You can use double sided tape or painters tape wrape on a circle so it is sticky on all sides too.
The problem with the spray paint, even though it's acryic, is the stuff that makes it flammable is what also allows it to dry to touch and recoat in about 15 minutes. Spray paint forms skin before you're finished layering. Thus, when you swipe, the art acrylic just sticks to the skin of the spray paint and covers it completely. I really would have liked to see this work, but was pretty sure it wouldn't. Bummer.
Thank you so much. I honestly didn't even think about that till I started tilting. It was pretty obvious from the get go though. Maybe google will push this out this holiday season. 8)
Hi again, Nate Brite did a play with spray paint not long ago, have a look at his, see what you can crib :-) And yes, it dries really fast when it is thin layers, so it's a dry layer on the wet acrylic.
No way is either a failure. The effects are totally different than Fiona's even though the spray paint thickens like cornstarch much faster than acrylic paint dries. The edges were gorgeous! I love using spray paint but never on wet acrylic paint. It's a unique take (to me) on this technique and I think that, with tweaking, you'll nail it.
I shook the crap out of them before i started the video. I even tried the one gold after on a piece of cardboard. Was splotchy. Might have to change the spray top for one of the others.
I usually don't have soda bottles around but a friend left one of a reg size soda Sooo great I cut it exactly straight. Which was not easy or fast. I go to get it last night and THE OL MAN THRU IT AWAY. IT WAS WITH MY DARN PAINTS. Why would you think it was trash if it had been altered in a way you would think someone was using it but NOOOO. AAAGGGHHH
I loved the way the gold pooled before the rest of the process. Very cool concept!
Me too!
Great experiment... Love both of them 💗
I love so much how artists show community with one another ❤️❤️❤️ Getting to see different artists try each other's techniques is so cool!!!
I still like them. That’s what I like about you David you’re not afraid to try. You inspired me to try pour painting. I’m getting better. So Thank you!
I think my mistakes help me way more than my successes.
Love the last one!❤ it looks like a poppie flower.
It does! Never thought of it that way.
Wonder what happened to you. Glad to see you again. Enjoy your videos..
Thanks so much my friend!

So true. Last weeks video I finally got the results I was hopping for.
It's real good to have you back with us David. It seems ages. I know you're not happy with the way these turned out but I think both look really good, despite not being what you wanted them to be.
Thanks so much. Just give me more ideas of what to change next.
I liked the first one. It looked like a Christmas flower.
I think so too!
I really enjoy your experiments. Thank you for sharing 🫠
Thank you! Cheers!
Ive learned so much from your experimental and scientific approach. You've been missed
Aw 😊 Thank you so much.
Very interesting! So good to see you back!!
Thank you Marie.
first, the cells in the red paint on the edge were amazing, then that green combined with the spray paint gold was a beautiful color combo, love this experiment!
Thanks so much!
Happy to see you back!! Interesting!
Hey, thanks Bonnie.
You should do a video on painting household objects. Like flower vases, serving tray, coasters, etc
I've done a few of those but I'll look around for some more. th-cam.com/video/ZyLzQYDvueQ/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/dGlQ5LFHj9I/w-d-xo.html
Really enjoyed watching this. I think they came out super pretty!💖
Thanks LM
AMARYLLIS 👍 LIKE CHRISTMAS FLOWER.🌺🏵💮
Totally is.
Because the spray paint sits on top of the acrylic paint, when you put the wet paper towel on top it just pulls the spray paint off. I still think they are really pretty.
Makes sense now after that fact but in the moment I was like "what the heck?!?"
How you found center at 03:25 will forever change how I do it 😂. Cool video.
Lol, that's how I always do it. 8)
Great job! Love them both even though they didn’t turn out like expected
It's all about the learning for me so even if my expectations aren't met it is a successful endeavor.
Just found your channel and the art is simply mesmerizing to me. Definitely subscribing and learning to try my own hand at this technique. :D
Welcome aboard Abigail. Let me know if you have any questions. I am always looking for new ideas for videos.
Wow very nice ,love the color ,nice work ❤
Thank you so much Sylvie😀
I get Christmas vibes, David. I really like the center. 😊
It's really hard to make red roses without the christmas vibe. 8)
That's fun! I love trying new things. I'm having fun with alcohol ink lately.
I need to try those for sure.
@@LeftBrainedArtist They are lots of fun and create a sort of snowflake fractal effect in the wet paint. It's amazing.
I think these are gorgeous! The first would be a beautiful flower if you painted some stamens coming out of the center. The second one is very dramatic and looks like a pansy. Well done!
Oh thank you! I might try that.

The ones from Michael are both acrylic based. I don't know about the ones from Lowes.

I bought that easy sprayer thingy at sherwin Williams and I'm gonna give that a try with acrylics made into spray. I even spent way too much money on Montana and Amsterdam acrylic spray, that didn't work either 😢
Let me know if you find something that does work. I love the initial look but hate that it all disappeared.
What about a straight pour where you spray the paint between layers so it mixes into the paint. Maybe cause of consistency it'd make cells?
I think anytime the pain moves you are going to lose the paint regardless of the technique. I am working on some new experiements that I hope will pan out.
Very pretty!
Thank you! 😊

Excellent experimentation
Thanks Louis.
WOWOWWOWOW. How do you attach the canvas to the turn table>?

Does seem a bit obvious in hind sight. But that is why I love to experiment. We'll see how the next ones turn out.
Good job David. Sometimes spray and pour do not play well on the playground
I am noticing. I'll have to find a way to keep that shimmery edge more intact.
Hey someone will buy that at Christmas time 😁 looks fab
And meant to say it good to see you back hope all is well.
Thank you so much. I honestly didn't even think about that till I started tilting. It was pretty obvious from the get go though. Maybe google will push this out this holiday season. 8)

Cool, thanks I'll check that video out.
Mist alcohol on it will pop the bubbles and It don't harm the painting. It works for me
My wife said the same thing. I have the perfect little sprayer for next time.
I wonder if it would work doing a cup pour
I suppose I should have watched all the way through first
Nah, love when people comment while they are watching. I have some new things to try next.
No way is either a failure. The effects are totally different than Fiona's even though the spray paint thickens like cornstarch much faster than acrylic paint dries. The edges were gorgeous!

So true! These experiments are why I love pouring.
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته. تسلم ايدك
شكرًا لك
Liquitex spray paint is water based with no VOCs. You really need to shake those cans a lot more!
I shook the crap out of them before i started the video. I even tried the one gold after on a piece of cardboard. Was splotchy. Might have to change the spray top for one of the others.
Hello David! xx 🎉
Hello Fran!
Don’t think the paper towel was any sort of friend there… would like to see the same processes just spun out but without the towel dip.
100% accurate. This weeks video I get much better results without sabotaging myself. Hind sight is 20/20 even with paint pouring.
I usually don't have soda bottles around but a friend left one of a reg size soda
Sooo great I cut it exactly straight. Which was not easy or fast. I go to get it last night and THE OL MAN THRU IT AWAY. IT WAS WITH MY DARN PAINTS. Why would you think it was trash if it had been altered in a way you would think someone was using it but NOOOO. AAAGGGHHH
Sorry to hear about that. I know that feeling.
