Some people just have the knack. Not me, I tried doing this and got mud, mud and some more mud. But I love watching a good artist at work. This is stunning.
so one of the things i do to combat waste is put plastic sheeting down (like from the hardware store) underneath where i pour. then i can peel up the skins (the excess paint) once it's dry, and use that for stuff. whether i use cool pieces in other painting, or use resin to turn it into jewelry. sometimes, you can even mix the wet drips together and get a cool color, then i'll just scrape it into a cup and use that for another pour. it helps that i sit on my floor though, and that's coated in plastic in my studio, lol
You’re A Tool for the universe to create art ✨ I hope you have a magical day today! Here is some artist inspiration for your day th-cam.com/video/aJr0GbK5y2E/w-d-xo.html
Erica, you are a very special and talented person in her own right! Your work is amazing and awesome! You don’t disappoint with your art style and your talent when it comes to abstract artwork! You deserve to be recognized and appreciated and loved by everyone around you! Thank you for sharing this amazing work with us and for sharing it with the world as well!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful colors and the combination makes this look awesomely realistic and stylish in the design and detail . Flourish patterns are very pleasing to look at and are very easy to accomplish without being overly complicated or complex. Thank you for sharing this piece of artwork with us!🎉🎉🎉
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
I am overawed by these results! I now understand what materials the artists work I've been admiring in a local gallery must have been made from. I love the sponaniety and abstract results of ALL these techniques though. I need to get myself into this as it is incredible!!!!!!!!
I love the technique that she use. I’m about to try that technique because it’s interesting with different colors though. Keep posting in arts, thanks!
Hey Erica, love this piece and technique. Can you please tell the ratio in which you mix colors with water? Can we eyeball it or should it be measured precisely?
I don't know what she uses as a ratio, but I use 1:1 ratio. So 1oz of acrylic paint and 1oz of water. Obviously I am using more than 1oz usually but that's usually what I use. At first I was very careful with measurements and once you get into it, if I am mixing another medium such as mica powder then I would kind of account for that. It's really kind of what looks right to you and as you go you'll kind of get a feel for it. She does offer classes, I took one before I started and that helped me immensely. I think they are worth it because the cost of supplies is sometimes high and it sucks when the piece is not what you wanted.
This has so many of the colors I love. I knew I had to watch the video as soon as I saw the cover. May I ask, do you use the hairdryer on low when you blow it? Thanks so much for sharing your talent!
Carla, think about your ?. COMMON SENSE dictates how you would use the blower. DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR HAND HELD with every move you make in life? LOGIC says if the blower is on high & blows too fast, too hot, or two great an area, you would have a problem. You don't need the video person OR ME to tell you that. I am astounded that you admire the TALENT...Try it and you will see that EVERYONE HAS THIS TALENT....IT IS NOT PICASSO, REMBRANDT, CHAGALL talent. It is someone enjoying the mix of colors--period.
@@paulicymet190 I'm sorry my ignorant question offended your sensibilities. I was asking a simple question for the person who posted this video. If you thought I was so lacking in common sense, you could have just skipped the lengthy, arrogant and unkind comment, shook your wise, sensible head and moved on. I'm 73 and really don't feel the need for scolding.
@@paulicymet190 wow…that was pretty extreme. If you thought her question stupid, you should have just moved on. She was not even asking you. And for you to give the response you did, you must not have ever done a Dutch Pour. It is NOT just a “point and shoot” technique. You were not at all nice and your post was totally uncalled for.
@@barbmills8609 Thanks, Barb. I reread both his posts and had to laugh. He is right in one sense, if I post something on the internet (not real life) I shouldn't get upset if someone replies. He, however, is an ass.
@@jf2mad it can be both you know.. As an art graduate I am not snobbish about what can constitute "art"... you sound extremely closed minded and up yourself...
Hi Prabhjyot, unfortunately there is no straight answer to that because all paint pigments have a different density/consistency. Add water to the paint a little at a time until the paint pours off in one stream from your stir stick. Best to practice on small pieces till you get the hang of it. Just experiment and have fun, if you don’t like what you see just scrape it off and try again. It’s awesome playing with colours, you’ll love it.
so amazing. I love the result! 💜 Good job! I just made my first video about acrylic pouring. But I want to learn this style... AAAH can't wait to start this! And this community is really the best!
Beautiful work❤️ What settings do you have your blow dryer on and do you find better results not adding and then covering with a swipe of your base coat over your colors?
DAMN. I just bought some painting stuff and am super excited to start and give it a try. Im not a "paint this subject" kind of person, I want to do more abstract stuff and this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I love this so much. Thank you for teaching people how to make this kind of art in such a clean and concise manner! You are awesome, thank you for the inspiration!!! EDIT: Was that just a hair dryer you were using? Or is it something else?
To make cells, you can use flame or elmers glue. The ratio is for every 2 oz of paint 1 oz of glue. With silicone, I do 10 to 25 drops per 8 oz of paint. I have been doing this for a week and have watched a few other artists such as Molly she's great. My problem is, they never say how big the canvas is that they are working on. I made 3 beautiful pieces in just a few days. I put them in my email so I can watch them at my own place. Happy Pouring, everyone!
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
Glad to found you. This is beautiful. I just subscribed now. So it’s only water and acrylic paint? What’s the ratio pls? And is the blower just for painting? I will appreciate your reply💕
Hi, thanks for showing this technique. I am allergic to resin, alcohol and I have many acrylic paints in many colors including metallics, now I can practice on heavy paper and perhaps I can enhance with embossing tools as well. Is there anyway to seal or fixate the acrylics? Thanks.
Hey! I’ve made a few paintings like this and I like to use a high gloss varnish to seal them afterwards. I don’t know how well it would work on paper, I used canvases. Please do be careful though because I don’t know how it might affect your allergies! ☺️
This is awesome and thank you for putting this content out for us. Unfortunately, when I try to replicate this, my colors just tend to blend together, making ugly greys and browns. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Happy New Year!
i dunno about hers, but i use either the low heat setting or the cool one. i like the lower settings, cuz otherwise it blows too hard, lol. either works though
I don't know but pearl Metallics can do that or mica powder mixed in. If you do mix it in though only use a tiny bit and make sure the consistency is still very fluid
Probably just shiny because it's still wet. You can get gloss acrylic paints. Many acrylic pour instructions recommend that you do a gloss spray clear coat though. I'm also currently researching using an epoxy resin gloss clear coat over the whole thing after it's dry.

Some people just have the knack. Not me, I tried doing this and got mud, mud and some more mud. But I love watching a good artist at work. This is stunning.
Your paints got mixed too much, try not over doing the blowing part.
Proof you don't need fancy supplies and you come up with gorgeous pieces!
Exactly! Fancy supplies are over whelming!
I have NEVER done a painting or a pour in my life. But I KNOW in my mind I CAN do this
It's not as easy as it looks
Could already tell from the thumbnail it's gonna be good so liked right from the start
So cool! You are blowing life into your art, both figuratively and literally.
Whoever is reading this,
I hope you have a great day!

Your art is mesmerizing! I love to watch you creativity come alive. Thank you so much for sharing!
Great stuff! I'm new to this art and was wondering what setting/temperature you use with blow dryer?
I would say it's about airflow only not a temperature. You don't want the paint to dry quickly so cold air does its job well.
Great Colors I love doing Dutch Pours.
This is a great technique it looks beautiful! Just what did you add to make it look sooo shiny?
I don't know but pearl Metallics can do that or mica powder mixed in. If you do mix it in though only use a tiny bit and make sure the consistency is still very fluid
Probably just shiny because it's still wet. You can get gloss acrylic paints. Many acrylic pour instructions recommend that you do a gloss spray clear coat though. I'm also currently researching using an epoxy resin gloss clear coat over the whole thing after it's dry.
@@eetoved1758 okay thank you!

You have to add a drop or two of silicon oil in the paint. Not in base color but
