📣Take your fluid art to the next level! Enroll in my new acrylic pouring online course🌟SECRET RECIPE FOR FLUID ART SUCCESS🌟here success.sobyartacademy.com/Secret-Recipe-Fluid-Art-Success-Online-Course 🤩 What do you guys think about this experiment? 😁 SO MUCH Potential with the Dish Soap! Have you ever worked with it?
Smart Art Materials - Acrylic Pouring & Painting I was gonna try something myself, but I'm curious of how you will interpret it. Have you considered using soapy string as a tool?
@@phyphedelic3214 I have, but I feel like it's going to be the whole different technique that I'm going to get lost in! So I definitely want to do it, but later 😃
Hahaha yeah I feel the same way. Either you’re gonna mess up your place or you’re gonna mess up the painting, especially if you’re extra clumsy like me...
Oh me too and I don't waste enough product or spend too much money on it LOL!!! I'm so disgusted with myself I have slowly been buying products over time. I don't make enough money to even get by but I'm scraping money together to make these paintings that nobody is going to want.
Please ..... NEVER stop experimenting!!! In my book this is what makes you so special. We all love to learn new techniques. Soap ... who knew? I can learn something from all three. Thanks so much.
All three are pretty, but I like the last one the best. I like the way they react by themselves and they look like fireworks and flowers. Thank you for Sharing the experiments. It was very interesting
Haha I thought so too 😀 but as a result I got a completely messy over worked canvas😆 But probably like anything else this technique takes practice and experimenting.
Thank you for doing this ~ would be SUCH a bonus not having to clean silicone off of canvas 😃! & SO many possibilities for usage...guess you could say it's a new DAWN in flow art...😉...!!
I have watched video's from approximately 15 different artists when I first started using acrylics. Now? I only watch 3 or 4 regularly. Your videos and Molly's Artistry videos have taught me more than all of the others put together. Another added bonus is both you and Molly are extremely likable and keep the personal chitchat to a minimum. Thank you for doing this. I'm having SO much fun learning acrylics.
I love the little tiny cells, but the last canvas you did was my favorite! I wonder what a whole canvas full of those awesome cells would look like...I might have to try it out! Thanks so much for all the inspiration!
You share so much of your knowledge with us. It is so refreshing to find a group of people who are willing to see their knowledge and to collaborate with techniques and ideas as opposed to simply hoarding their ideas to themselves for fear that someone might “take their idea“. I understand that some equate what you’re doing to “working for free“ because you’re sharing your techniques with us. I, have been a textile artist for many years. Actually, you call me a mixed media artist because I work with any type of medium I can find it right down to dirt! LOL! I feel if it catches Mayeye it could be hard. And I have never once send someone away from me when they ask a question on how I do something for fear that they might try to do it themselves and take my idea. Instead, I will always, always get excited to share what I know,And learn from them as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your experiments, your trials and tribulations, and your gorgeous, gorgeous successes!
Thank you, Lisa! And I love sharing! "Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, And the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
@@OlgaSoby Wow! That's beautiful! I stumbled across some paints in Dollar Tree today... and I think I'm going to try some of these ideas... Beautiful, unique creations! Thanks for sharing!!
I’m just now watching this video of yours in 2024 and I really want to try it. I have been watching your current videos and your art has just progressed so much and I just love it.
Love this!! I am a beginner rock painter. The backgrounds on my rocks are very plain, but they wont' be anymore! The smaller cells are perfect for a much smaller "canvas"! Keep up the experiments!
Not me watching this a 4 am wanting to get out of bed and do this!! Aaaaaaa i needed this video i was wondering if i can do cells without the silicone thank u so much
Hi Olga! I love watching your informative videos!!! I can’t help wondering though, what happens when these experimental soap, alcohol etc paintings dry? Could you show some paintings drying and completely dry so we can see if and how they dry? Thanx sooo much! 🥰😉👍
I am from Costa Rica and getting big cells has been my dream. Sometime it is frustrating but I keep on and on. This is a Very different video, and dish soap is great news. I loved the last two, and my favorite one is the second. Thank you Olga. Blessings and lots of success.
Love that you're trying different techniques and material. You have a great personality so it's quite enjoyable watching your videos. 💜 I'm just starting on this painting journey so these are extremely helpful, thank you!!
In the first part of the video where you were looking for a word to describe the paint that wasn’t cells - maybe lacing? This is an absolutely fascinating video Olga. I wonder if the cells would be bigger with a 50/50 ratio of soap to water? I’ll experiment too. Some strayers are definitely different from others. I guess we try a number of ways to do it. That’s the value of small canvases for experimenting. The consistency of the paint would change the size, I imagine. A thinner paint or swipe paint is where I’ll start experimenting. Thank you for your generous sharing Olga. Thank you for showing us a whole new direction, although having just sold 3 artworks this afternoon, Dutch Pours will always be my preferred style.
I love that 3 looks like a swipe but more controlled. Number 1 is amazing if only I can find a use for it. Possibly Metallics with a black swipe could be fun or just a few spots to enhance another pour. Number 2 is okay but I think floetrol and water may be better. Great fun and worth more experimenting! Thanks Olga.
I love all three , I am just now starting to learn how to pour, and I am happy to see that soap can be used, since it is not expensive. Thanks for sharing. You do incredible work.
@5:50 you can get bigger cells with the dish soap (or alcohol/silicone)using an eyedropper or pipette...which you can add paint on top with the dropper. Each of these mediums gives a different result it is cool to mix the same paint color formula but use silicone in one and dish soap and alcohol in the others because the paint is the same bit the cell patterns are different...a new thing to try if you ever feel like it! I love love love your experiments...paint pouring is all about new formulas and technics
I love it. Please continue, it saves us wasting time and money, it also helps with making good decisions. I don’t care for silicone too much trouble for me. Softer less defined maybe. Then again I’m not all about cells. I’m wondering how this would work with the tri-art liquid glass, it’s supposed to give you cells that keep their shape.
Thank you! I don't know why, but I just don't have luck with nice cells when work with any type of pouring medium. I guess it's about finding right proportions and also practice practice practice 😊
Smart Art Materials - Acrylic Pouring & Painting oh I’ve got painted trash cans full of scraped off paint. I don’t like the mediums. Tried glue it left the surface strange and later it peeled off, same with the liquitex pouring medium. It was strange they both crazed so I tried cleaning them to re-pour. The glue came off in a terrible way, threw one canvas away. The liquitex peeled off it took on the texture of the canvas. I prefer floetrol and a small amount of water. It wasn’t my mixture I was careful about amounts. I got cracking if they dried too fast, the humidity was too low. I believe it’s because no matter what the pour is putting down layers thicker than intended to be. I’m still struggling. I have some that work many that don’t. Metallics can be tricky. Going to try the soap.

I hear ya! Temperature can be very tricky here too! Floetrol is also my go-for mixture, but I kinda want to experiment with other products. Plus new coming to the market all the time with fluid art getting more and more popular.
They are all so different and all so very beautiful. So cool that you can use dish soap to make beautiful works of art. My favorite is the one that you just dropped the soap mixture on. Reminded me of flowers.
I liked each one with the technique you use. I like the second one. I could see that for underwater or in fire colors. The last one reminded me of flowers definitely. Thanks for showing your techniques.
i am new at this Acylic pour hobby and I sure do wish I saw your videos ,when I waited for weeks on my silicone and other supplies I ordered on line, little did I know dish soap,did this awesome effects,thank you for such great videos you are teaching me, I cant wait to star some cool creations, I just had cancer surgery, this month,spent 19 days in the hospital., while I was in there I deciced I was going on line to make some purchases, so when I was released, I had something to keep me busy.well, needless to say, hun,i am stocked up and ready to pour !!!!,thank you , Very much for your knowledge to inspire me.
I'm so happy to hear this, Diane! Enjoy your process, its a true remedy❤ and if you are new to acrylic pouring, check out our website, I share a lot of info here smartartmaterials.com/
Thx Olga...love the experiments! Saw vid somewhere of someone adding a bit of alcohol to the white to create lacing ( waves on beach?) Also I wonder how silicone and alcohol would go together....another experiment idea!?
Olga. So AWESOME..another technique to get addicted to. Lol. I'm wondering if Dawn is the best dish soap or are the others ok to use. I personally use Dawn. Wildlife officials use Dawn to clean oil off animals if there is a spill. Don't know if you knew that. I'm anxious to try this. Thank you for sharing. I like all 3. But the one you blew on has real possibilities. Take care.
Holy cow! I am so glad you made this video! I love that with the flip cup the cells are irregular. And I really like the effect from the dropper. It looks a bit like marigolds to me. Thanks for all the videos!
I love these experiments. Very cool results too. I would love to know how these dry. Will you need to rinse the soap off? Will the paint come off with the soap. Or will they accept a varnish without rinsing first? So many questions, hehe. Thanks for the video. :)
So many questions so little answers haha 😃 Well I might have some answers. So I tried cleaning one I did last week: there were no oily spots or anything like that, it didn't feel oily to touch either. I'm not sure why cause I used a lot of soap!🤔 So I just wiped it with a wet paper towel, NO pigment came off (although normally I like to wait longer before cleaning). I will test-varnish it with brush today, but I'm sure that spray varnish will work either way. Og yes, and I will share dry results on my page on Facebook facebook.com/olga.soby.art/
Great experiments! Instead of the spray bottle, you might try dipping an old tooth brush or nail brush in the soap, and combing with a stick to get a splatter effect. That might give you bigger cells. Also it might enable you to use a more concentrated soap solution that would be too thick for a spray bottle.
Thabk you very much for this video. We really like the spray bottle. I also love the idea of getting the bubble/cell affect without needing to buy more items.
Even though I do not like the pink in the second test, I LOVE the small cells and the look of what they created. If in combination with larger cells on a bigger canvas it might create a unique look as well. But for now, the small cells and soap is my favorite. Good girl for trying.
I like to wait longer, but I will test varnish one from the last week today. But some artists have been using soap for month/years, so I don't really expect to have any problems
I’ve been having trouble getting cells, I wondered if it could be that I’ve been using cheap ain’t till I got the hang of it. Also, I don’t always use floetrol because of the price, but today I had a pleasant surprise, I poured over some rocks, using floetrol, applied the torch and got more cells than I’ve ever had. Tomorrow I’m going to try the dish soap idea. Does it have to be dawn. I use a different brand
Aw man, I’m upset, I did what you did and nothing happened. My canvas is just wet and ugly now. Did you use camera tricks, some speacial kind of soap or something I don’t know about? 😔
it was probably too much dish soap. I've used dish soap quite a few times, and even a drop too much will turn your paints to mud, because it works by breaking down the paint. I found the best dish soap results by not adding much at all to the paint (like literally One drop!) and then use watered down dish soap and a toothbrush to splatter a bit onto the paint, after it spreads over the canvas. Don't know if this helps! 🫶🎨 Best of luck with this! Try experimenting with slightly different recipes, any results you don't love can be rinsed off your canvas! 💁😉
I love this experiment! I thought I loved the spray bottle until you did the dropper, but I do like the little cells too. I'm in love with the dropper affect!!! Especially when the bubbles were moving when you were blowing. I'm seeing jellyfish. I'm still researching and gathering my supplies, but this is going to be one of the first paintings I do! I agree, you should never stop experimenting!
Love that you like to test new ways to do things like me. Think I should test making the middle and then spray and drop som soap on it. Love all your videos! Thank´s and seeing forward for the next.
I think the drip water soap idea looked like you were going to make a flower at first. I LOVE the technique, all them really. I started out using soap, but cells tookover and I got bored. I loved these! This is a technique I may have to revisit.
Love this video!!! Thanks for sharing different methods! I like all the ones you did. I love the vibrant colors. I noticed recently lot of pour paint artists are "ruining" (in my opinion) the painting they create by spinning it. It gets muddy and the gorgeous painting is no more. I love your techniques and can't wait to try them!
Really interesting effects. I'd never have thought of using dish soap (we call it washing up liquid over here, which is a bit of a mouthful!) So many new things to try out!
So I tried pointing the spray bottle at different angles, like straight up, from the side and so on. Also changed the pressure I used is the squirt, it makes for all different sizes and shapes of the soap spray. Worth a try I think anyway. Ginher
I just tried this with the same colors you used, and I was SO happy with the results (my first swipe ever). Not as nice as yours, but its more than I could've hoped for! Thank you so much for these videos!
WOW! Thank you so much for this experiment. I hate the smell of the silicon oil I use for pours so much I've stopped trying them. Now I have something different I can experiment with that will smell good too
Left and right looks great! I tried it with glue, water and expensive pouring colours from an artist shop. Did not work at all. So I guess it is this floetrol you are using which reacts in this nice way. Love your work!
There are a few techniques you could try to get bigger drops. Drop using an eye dropper/pipette, squeeze with a flinging motion using an eye dropper/pipette or squeeze bottle with needle tip, flick with fingers, comb, brush, etc.
I have only been practicing with 5 x 5 canvas. Just pouring. Now I see how you do flip cup and I'm going to try it today. Im excited about using dish soap. So much cheaper!!
I am going to give this a whirl.. I couldn't find a pouring medium apparently it's in "high demand", as more and more are discovering the joys of "paint🖌 pouring" 🤔 hm... I myself included this is all new to me🤯.. Any who, I've read that most artists recommend "Floetrol" for a pouring medium. When I could not find the "recommended" pouring medium, I researched, "how to make your own pouring med" (which probably isn't news to anyone but me lol) I absolutely love this tutorial it inspired me to combined your technique(s) with the multipurpose "Elmer's Glue-All" and water to create a pouring medium along with "3 in 1: All-Temp Silicone" for cells.. This is my first attempt at paint pouring I'm super stoked and glad I across your channel.. being a "newbie" and all, you may have already did something similar to this if not I'd love to see a tutorial on how to make different pouring mediums 😁 ( hint hint) thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you, and yes acrylic pouring is becoming very popular as it's very addictive haha😁 I also like using Floetrol ad it's very affordable alternative to commercial pouring medium. It's sold in Dulux Paints in Canada and Lowes/Home Depot in USA, also on Amazon But many artists use glue and get Amazing results, so I'm sure you are going to have a lot of fun with it. Also, check out my website, I share a lot of pouring info there smartartmaterials.com/
@@OlgaSoby I finally found and purchased the Floetrol 32oz at Lowe's for $7.99! In upstate NY. Omg what a difference so much better! Lol thank you for the advice :) the only problem I seem to be having is that is once dried I have some cracks and it's not very shiny it looks better wet. I thought maybe I could just get an acrylic gloss medium if I wanted it glossy/shiny or is there a trick to this? Im going to check out your website and I think my next pour will be while watching your chameleon cell video :) Thanks so much ♡
I am new to this kind of art work and I love it. What drew me to your art was your first name. My mothers name was Olga. Thanks for all the wonderful things I am learning for an 81 year old man.
Just found your videos. Love them. I'm totally inspired. Needed a break from the chaos of present times. Mud flood and how our history has been forged isn't easy to wake up to. Beauty in all forms and your art has given me a breath of fresh air this beautiful Colorado morning. Thanks for that. Cheers!!

Soap ... who knew? I can learn something from all three. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much, Anita!
Maybe dip a paint brush in the soap mixture and use that to flick the soap on the paint.
I love your voice. I'm in my 70's and high pitch sounds bother my ears. Your voice isn't soft soft, it's perfect. I could listen to you all day long.
oh my, this is such a wonderful compliment! Thank you, Josie😊
Yes you do have a lovely voice I have friends that are Dutch here in Australia and they’re lovely people too!
All three are pretty, but I like the last one the best. I like the way they react by themselves and they look like fireworks and flowers. Thank you for Sharing the experiments. It was very interesting
Thank you so much! The third one is definitely the most unusual and cool! I was very surprised to see such reaction
@@OlgaSobyhi what was the fluid that you used on the last one?? I really one to know
@@hayounglee4856 it was a mixture of water and dish soap
Thank you. I love 2 and 3 the best. They are all beautiful!
So cool! The last one made me think... What if you put the soap mixture into a bubble bottle and blew bubbles of the soap mixture onto the canvas?
Haha I thought so too 😀 but as a result I got a completely messy over worked canvas😆 But probably like anything else this technique takes practice and experimenting.
Thank you for doing this ~ would be SUCH a bonus not having to clean silicone off of canvas 😃! & SO many possibilities for usage...guess you could say it's a new DAWN in flow art...😉...!!

Loved your illustrations. What effect would you get if you used soap without water in the spray bottle, think I'm going to try that.
Please let me know! I kinda thought it would be too thick to go through the spray, but who knows!
i am new at this Acylic pour hobby and I sure do wish I saw your videos ,when I waited for weeks on my silicone and other supplies I ordered on line, little did I know dish soap,did this awesome effects,thank you for such great videos you are teaching me, I cant wait to star some cool creations, I just had cancer surgery, this month,spent 19 days in the hospital., while I was in there I deciced I was going on line to make some purchases, so when I was released, I had something to keep me busy.well, needless to say, hun,i am stocked up and ready to pour !!!!,thank you , Very much for your knowledge to inspire me.
I'm so happy to hear this, Diane! Enjoy your process, its a true remedy❤ and if you are new to acrylic pouring, check out our website, I share a lot of info here smartartmaterials.com/
Thx Olga...love the experiments! Saw vid somewhere of someone adding a bit of alcohol to the white to create lacing ( waves on beach?) Also I wonder how silicone and alcohol would go together....another experiment idea!?
haha YES!!! Oh my, so many ideas, so little time in a day! Thank you so much💗
Thank you Olga for this tutorial excellent! Now I know how to make cells. Yay!
You are most welcome, Tere!😊
Olga. So AWESOME..another technique to get addicted to. Lol. I'm wondering if Dawn is the best dish soap or are the others ok to use. I personally use Dawn. Wildlife officials use Dawn to clean oil off animals if there is a spill. Don't know if you knew that. I'm anxious to try this. Thank you for sharing. I like all 3. But the one you blew on has real possibilities. Take care.
Thank you, and no I had no idea! Such a cool fact!
I don't know if other soaps work differently, but I suppose the formula is similar?
Holy cow! I am so glad you made this video! I love that with the flip cup the cells are irregular. And I really like the effect from the dropper. It looks a bit like marigolds to me. Thanks for all the videos!
Looove it!!! Cant wait to see more experiments
YAY! Thank you so much, Torii 😊 Which one did you like the most?
As I personally don't like the shape of great stretched cells, I really love the second and third pour. Looks great.
I love these experiments. Very cool results too. I would love to know how these dry. Will you need to rinse the soap off? Will the paint come off with the soap. Or will they accept a varnish without rinsing first? So many questions, hehe. Thanks for the video. :)
So many questions so little answers haha 😃 Well I might have some answers. So I tried cleaning one I did last week: there were no oily spots or anything like that, it didn't feel oily to touch either. I'm not sure why cause I used a lot of soap!🤔 So I just wiped it with a wet paper towel, NO pigment came off (although normally I like to wait longer before cleaning). I will test-varnish it with brush today, but I'm sure that spray varnish will work either way.
Og yes, and I will share dry results on my page on Facebook facebook.com/olga.soby.art/
@@OlgaSoby Thank you, Olga. :)
Great experiments! Instead of the spray bottle, you might try dipping an old tooth brush or nail brush in the soap, and combing with a stick to get a splatter effect. That might give you bigger cells. Also it might enable you to use a more concentrated soap solution that would be too thick for a spray bottle.
@@miket2067 thank you, I like this idea a lot!
OLGA.....with the dropper, is Gorgeous!!!! I am inspired to attempt this!
that was so cool l am going to try these out l love the dropper effect
J'ai suivi vos conseils et j'ai ajouté de la lessive dans ma préparation: plein de belles cellules.
Un grand merci++
You are most welcome!😉
Sooooo wunderschön.😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much!😊
Thabk you very much for this video. We really like the spray bottle. I also love the idea of getting the bubble/cell affect without needing to buy more items.
You are most welcome, Sarah!😊
Their shape is like soap bubbles.
Even though I do not like the pink in the second test, I LOVE the small cells and the look of what they created. If in combination with larger cells on a bigger canvas it might create a unique look as well. But for now, the small cells and soap is my favorite. Good girl for trying.
Has anyone tried varnishing or doing resin over dish soap?
I like to wait longer, but I will test varnish one from the last week today. But some artists have been using soap for month/years, so I don't really expect to have any problems
8bitArtist I was also wondering if you need to clean before varnishing or resining
I’ve been having trouble getting cells, I wondered if it could be that I’ve been using cheap ain’t till I got the hang of it.
Also, I don’t always use floetrol because of the price, but today I had a pleasant surprise, I poured over some rocks, using floetrol, applied the torch and got more cells than I’ve ever had.
Tomorrow I’m going to try the dish soap idea.
Does it have to be dawn. I use a different brand
I wiped it with a wet paper towel, let dry and varnished with a brush. Worked like a charm!
That dish soap it was very neat to experience
Her : okay I’m going to do one more
1 drop later: she dose 5 more
Me watching like: 👁👄👁
😆🙈
The last one with dropper, looks like flowers in a garden. These are very cool!
Aw man, I’m upset, I did what you did and nothing happened. My canvas is just wet and ugly now. Did you use camera tricks, some speacial kind of soap or something I don’t know about? 😔
it was probably too much dish soap. I've used dish soap quite a few times, and even a drop too much will turn your paints to mud, because it works by breaking down the paint. I found the best dish soap results by not adding much at all to the paint (like literally One drop!) and then use watered down dish soap and a toothbrush to splatter a bit onto the paint, after it spreads over the canvas. Don't know if this helps! 🫶🎨 Best of luck with this! Try experimenting with slightly different recipes, any results you don't love can be rinsed off your canvas! 💁😉
Does dish soap dry more quickly than silicone? A marvelous class with dish soap! Thank you Ms. Olga!
The canvas is not lost you can go over it again
I love this experiment! I thought I loved the spray bottle until you did the dropper, but I do like the little cells too. I'm in love with the dropper affect!!! Especially when the bubbles were moving when you were blowing. I'm seeing jellyfish. I'm still researching and gathering my supplies, but this is going to be one of the first paintings I do! I agree, you should never stop experimenting!
Thank you, Patti! And if you are researching, I highly recommend checking out Smart Art Materials website - smartartmaterials.com/
Olga I have learnt so so much from you since I discovered you. Who would have thought of using soap but I love it and especially the middle one.
I think it would be cool to do all 3 on just one canvas! I do really like the first one the best.
Love that you like to test new ways to do things like me. Think I should test making the middle and then spray and drop som soap on it. Love all your videos! Thank´s and seeing forward for the next.
I think the drip water soap idea looked like you were going to make a flower at first. I LOVE the technique, all them really. I started out using soap, but cells tookover and I got bored. I loved these! This is a technique I may have to revisit.
Fantastic, thankyou for showing us this. I'm new to acrylic pouring & I've been trying to get better cells.
You’re welcome 😊
It's amazing one has to think about the plan now that we know what it does. Thank you Olga 🇿🇦 Pam
Love this video!!! Thanks for sharing different methods! I like all the ones you did. I love the vibrant colors. I noticed recently lot of pour paint artists are "ruining" (in my opinion) the painting they create by spinning it. It gets muddy and the gorgeous painting is no more. I love your techniques and can't wait to try them!
I love the last one. Stunning
Really interesting effects. I'd never have thought of using dish soap (we call it washing up liquid over here, which is a bit of a mouthful!) So many new things to try out!
Haha totally! Where are you from, Debbie?
Those are all 3, awesome! What a new world opening up. Thank you!
Haha yes totally! SO MUCH to explore 😃 Thank you, Carrie
So I tried pointing the spray bottle at different angles, like straight up, from the side and so on. Also changed the pressure I used is the squirt, it makes for all different sizes and shapes of the soap spray. Worth a try I think anyway. Ginher
I really like the effects of the dropper.
I just tried this with the same colors you used, and I was SO happy with the results (my first swipe ever). Not as nice as yours, but its more than I could've hoped for! Thank you so much for these videos!
Wonderful! Happy to hear it!!!😊
You were? Wow, I tried this and nothing happened, is this really supposed to work?
WOW! Thank you so much for this experiment. I hate the smell of the silicon oil I use for pours so much I've stopped trying them. Now I have something different I can experiment with that will smell good too
thank you, the soap is definitely a great alternative! But I'm surprised to hear bout the smell of silicone - did you use one in spray?
@@OlgaSoby It's a dip / squeeze bottle and the scent of it too strong, like motor oil.
@@PandoraNYC1 that is very strange! The silicone I have doesn't smell at all. I would also not enjoy the motor oil smell in my studio...
Left and right looks great! I tried it with glue, water and expensive pouring colours from an artist shop. Did not work at all. So I guess it is this floetrol you are using which reacts in this nice way. Love your work!
Thank you!😊
Me encantan los tres experimentos me gusta mucho su pintura ,gracias por compartirlo 👏👍💕
This is a fun experiment. It is worth developing more. Thanks for sharing
There are a few techniques you could try to get bigger drops.
Drop using an eye dropper/pipette, squeeze with a flinging motion using an eye dropper/pipette or squeeze bottle with needle tip, flick with fingers, comb, brush, etc.
Cannot wait to try #1 & #2!!! Thanks for sharing! Beautiful results in all 3 for sure!!
Thank you so much!😊
I have only been practicing with 5 x 5 canvas. Just pouring. Now I see how you do flip cup and I'm going to try it today. Im excited about using dish soap. So much cheaper!!
Have fun!😉
I am going to give this a whirl.. I couldn't find a pouring medium apparently it's in "high demand", as more and more are discovering the joys of "paint🖌 pouring" 🤔 hm... I myself included this is all new to me🤯.. Any who, I've read that most artists recommend "Floetrol" for a pouring medium. When I could not find the "recommended" pouring medium, I researched, "how to make your own pouring med" (which probably isn't news to anyone but me lol) I absolutely love this tutorial it inspired me to combined your technique(s) with the multipurpose "Elmer's Glue-All" and water to create a pouring medium along with
"3 in 1: All-Temp Silicone" for cells.. This is my first attempt at paint pouring I'm super stoked and glad I across your channel.. being a "newbie" and all, you may have already did something similar to this if not I'd love to see a tutorial on how to make different pouring mediums 😁 ( hint hint) thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you, and yes acrylic pouring is becoming very popular as it's very addictive haha😁
I also like using Floetrol ad it's very affordable alternative to commercial pouring medium. It's sold in Dulux Paints in Canada and Lowes/Home Depot in USA, also on Amazon But many artists use glue and get Amazing results, so I'm sure you are going to have a lot of fun with it. Also, check out my website, I share a lot of pouring info there smartartmaterials.com/
@@OlgaSoby I finally found and purchased the Floetrol 32oz at Lowe's for $7.99! In upstate NY. Omg what a difference so much better! Lol thank you for the advice :) the only problem I seem to be having is that is once dried I have some cracks and it's not very shiny it looks better wet. I thought maybe I could just get an acrylic gloss medium if I wanted it glossy/shiny or is there a trick to this? Im going to check out your website and I think my next pour will be while watching your chameleon cell video :) Thanks so much ♡
I am new to this kind of art work and I love it. What drew me to your art was your first name. My mothers name was Olga. Thanks for all the wonderful things I am learning for an 81 year old man.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing!!😊
Keep the experiments coming!!!That is what life is all about. Beautiful paintings. Thank you for sharing
You are most welcome!😊
This is so amazing...........I love paint pouring. Thank you for sharing. I cannot wait to try this.
Have fun!😊
Thank you for sharing all your experiments. We all learn and grow from that
Just found your videos. Love them. I'm totally inspired. Needed a break from the chaos of present times. Mud flood and how our history has been forged isn't easy to wake up to. Beauty in all forms and your art has given me a breath of fresh air this beautiful Colorado morning. Thanks for that. Cheers!!
thank you!
They are all beautiful. I like your color combination.
Love the soap piece
I love it ! simple no fuss, Dish soap fantastic result. 👍👍👍
