I searched for an angel wing pour and found your video - instantly subscribed! I am so happy to have found a channel like yours, thank you for being helpful to us newbies 💚
Olga’s mix -she dropped the black first darling. I just ^^^ watched that video, and I’m so thank for other left brained artists teaching me all the things. This is way helpful💫
@@LeftBrainedArtist your video happened to be directly following hers. The experiments are so so helpful for budding artists like myself. I hope that didn’t sound rude -just want to help you the way you help us. 😉
The videos followed each other for me as well. This experiment was great! Olga also used a black background, so in this case I would think white as the solid color side. I don’t really know. I do know I’m going to watch a few more of Leftbrain’s videos!
I am exactly the same. I have to experiment. I need to be better about keeping a journal on hand at all times. Because I have to try and try and try everything, and sometimes I don’t know that it failed until morning when I get crazing, or a certain color floated and took over during the night. I have not tried an angel wing pour, but I have wanted to. I also watch Olga’s channel, she is great. But I need to know WHY that happens when I do this certain thing, so I really appreciate your channel, it will stop me from making more failures, because you are sharing the burden of experiments!!i love every minute of the experiments I do, btw. Thank you!
I love, love your videos! I learn sooooo much…..my first “wing attempt “ did not work at all and I was perplexed!, Watching this video has encouraged me to try again…but only after watching your next video! Thank you!
The 4th one is the best angel wings...wondering if mixing the gold paint thicker also will help it be more of a focal color - it seems to have been swallowed up by the black in #4 (??( #3 had bold gold color, but painting lacked definition lines, feathery look. Thicker should help that definition thingy, right? Since they all mixed same consistency, am curious why the gold so much & shiny bright in #3, got overrun, or maybe sunk into the black in #4? Is there something about the gold paint itself, or is it about placement of gold in cup that made it virtually disappear in #4? I don't look for answers right now to these queries, but may warrant consideration as you try it again. Placement IN cups were all different & gold showed so much different in #3, than #4. Just a thought from person still waiting to do 1st pour, so knows 'zilch' except by watching lots of these videos.😌 Can't wait to see your re-do!
I’m not sure if anyone has already commented this but on the one that had the split cup she poured over her black and you did it backwards so that might be the difference in why no white showed up so the black was at the bottom of the cup and you’re pouring over the black is how she did it but I love watching your videos you have some great tips
See, we can make lemonade from lemons most times, half of mine were fails at first, luckily there are chain & string pulls, marble & golf ball rolls, blows, scraps & anything else we can think of. I like the final one, should have shown how you did that, blow & tilt maybe?
Thanks. These were all done in the same method just stacked the paint differently in the cup. I love your comment about lemons in to lemonade. You can totally do so many different things to save a painting you don't like. If all else fails, let it dry and re-pour.
Hi. I like your trials. Thanks for showing us. I found this guy and he has a great technique for making angel wings. He got the technique from someone else. I plan on trying it sometime. ~~~ Vicki from Arizona 🌵🌮🤠🏜🇺🇸
Hey LBA! I have a(nother) question (ofcourse) lol! When mixing craft paint with floetrol...if I've made it too thin, is there a way to thicken it up besides just adding more paint?
You can also leave it out for 4 - 8 hours and let it evaporate some of the water out. Just make sure you don't use any of the paint that might have skinned over.
It could be too thick, although you'd see the paint run differently if it was significant. It might also be that the pigment you are using for black is heavier than the white. Metallic colors seem to always be lighter than other colors. Ivory black is lighter than mars black (at least according to Liquitex basic pigments). Try either adding a very little titanium white (has to be titanium cause that is a heavy pigment) to the white and silver. You could try using a little more pouring medium in the black too to help it be less weighty too.
I've tried a few times, but very frustrating! I can't get the consistency right! And besides your videos all of them I've watch doesn't explain always how thin or how thick and if your canvas needs to be wet or dry?
All of my experiments I did with a dry canvas as I remember them. Although I need to try with a wet. You want a thicker paint. Mound upon a mound consistency.
I always like to finish at least to keep the dust from getting in the pinholes. For beginners I recommend the spray. One can covers a good 5 medium size paintings. Right now I use Gloss Varnish from Liquitex. Takes some work not to get brush marks but it works great.
It isn't really direct science but a psuedo-scientific thought where left brained people are more oragnized and do better in math and stem type work and right brained people are more creative and free thinkers.
The one time I tried it (a long time ago) I had a small cup inside another cup. It wasn't too bad but didn't have the patience to try again. Sorry I don't know the name of the artist
What colors would you use for a wing pour?
make it look like a rainbow :)
@@shannongreenlaw321 That will definitely take some experimentation. I might need to purchase a 3d printer to make my own cups.
Blues and ivory
@@cindywhittaker8779 Ooh, that sounds amazing.
I would use colours of green purple gold and blue so it looks like a peacock
Kristin is one of my very favorite artists! She’s wonderful in so many other art forms. The woman is just the greatest🥰💐
I agree!

Now if I can just nail down how to make it every time. This week hopefully.
I love, love your videos! I learn sooooo much…..my first “wing attempt “ did not work at all and I was perplexed!, Watching this video has encouraged me to try again…but only after watching your next video! Thank you!
You can do it Marilyn.
Wow sooo schön!! Das werde ich auch mal ausprobieren...
Vielen Dank.
Awesome tutorial
Thanks so much Jeni.
Thank you so much for showing us all these techniques and how to tweak them! I learned so much with just one video! Excellent Job👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼!!!🎨💜🙌🏼
Thanks for watching Anna. Glad it was helpful.
What an amazing idea !!!!👌👍
Thanks Nirmal. These were fun for sure.
Thank you Thank you. Again you have helped me out in my head. I did a reverse flower and my paint was way to thin. WOW so much to learn. 👍😊
It is amazing what a little bit of liquid changes isn't it?
@@LeftBrainedArtist it sure does....😲👍
I want to try reverse flower...so lovely! Do you spin yours after? Am told some do & some don't.
@@SnarkasticSunny some people do. Doris at DF Disigns does Fiona flowers and are amazing to see. 😁
Thank you very much enjoy watching you work and beautiful work
Thank you very much Roby.
@@LeftBrainedArtist your are so welcome
YOUR AWESOME ,TANK YOU!!!
Thanks so much Tammie
With the split cup by Olga, I think I'd have left the divider in place and would habe poured from the side. I appreciate this video so much
Thanks Rebecca. So many different ways to do this. I just ordered a cup split in to 4 sections. We'll see how that works.
Thanks for this, I have not tried this technique but so wanting to try it...
You should! It is difficult but pretty awesome too.
Thank you for your awesome videos!
Glad you liked it Shannon.
Love & Light 🌻xxx
😍 Love it.
Great experiment
Thank you 🤗
Great tutorial.. thank you 😊
You’re welcome Josie. These wing pours and be really beautiful if done right .
Great vid! Love the end result too!
Thank you! These were fun to make for sure.
So beautiful work, love it!
Glad you like it!

I'll have to try that on the thicker. It wasn't a very good gold either. I need one that has more body.

🤔 I never noticed that. I'll take a look. THANK YOU Celena. I love when people point out things like this. The best way to learn in my opinion.
Great content once again👍👍👍❤️
Thanks again Carol!
Love your experiments!
I appreciate that. If you have more you want to see done just let me know.
Hello David! Have you done any more wing pours and did you find the right paint viscosity?
I haven't done one for a while. A but thicker than normal in the end seemed to keep the shape the best.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Thank you. I tried one last week and it was too thin. Will give it another try.

Watch "WING POUR SUCCESS, NEW TOOL acrylic wing pour, easy and fun, no silicone" on TH-cam
th-cam.com/video/u5MHhQEsmnw/w-d-xo.html
Cool, thanks. I had watched that one before but never went through the trouble of creating a 3 cup container. Maybe I'll 3d print one just for that.
Very cool, I will definitely try this, thanks!
Hope you enjoy it like I did. Thanks Brooke.
Thank you
You're welcome Teresa. Glad to help.
I just watched Olga's video and the black was to face the canvas and come out first just did it yesterday for the first time.
Thanks for the tip!
@@LeftBrainedArtist you are welcome 😊
Hey LBA! I have a(nother) question (ofcourse) lol! When mixing craft paint with floetrol...if I've made it too thin, is there a way to thicken it up besides just adding more paint?
Not really. You can use gel medium but that is expensive.
You can also leave it out for 4 - 8 hours and let it evaporate some of the water out. Just make sure you don't use any of the paint that might have skinned over.
@@LeftBrainedArtist thank you so much!!!!
I would try a black white and shades of purple. If I make one of them metallic where should I put that in a layered cup?
I like my color being on the outside of the wings. The way I pour these, that means that color is on the bottom.
@@LeftBrainedArtist groovy! I’ll let you know how it goes, thanks
Hi if I have a painting where the black is sinking below the white and silver does that mean the black is too thick or thin? Not left brain 😛
It could be too thick, although you'd see the paint run differently if it was significant.
It might also be that the pigment you are using for black is heavier than the white. Metallic colors seem to always be lighter than other colors. Ivory black is lighter than mars black (at least according to Liquitex basic pigments). Try either adding a very little titanium white (has to be titanium cause that is a heavy pigment) to the white and silver. You could try using a little more pouring medium in the black too to help it be less weighty too.
You are awesome sauce
Ooh thanks Mary!
i really like your videos btw
Thanks so much. They are a blast to make and about a subject I really love to do.
The thickness of the paint is hard for me. That’s why I’m watching you.🤗
Hope my videos are helping Georgann. That is definitely the key to a good pour.
I've tried a few times, but very frustrating! I can't get the consistency right! And besides your videos all of them I've watch doesn't explain always how thin or how thick and if your canvas needs to be wet or dry?
All of my experiments I did with a dry canvas as I remember them. Although I need to try with a wet. You want a thicker paint. Mound upon a mound consistency.
What are your thoughts on finishing a painting? Like, gloss coat or resin or something else?
I always like to finish at least to keep the dust from getting in the pinholes. For beginners I recommend the spray. One can covers a good 5 medium size paintings. Right now I use Gloss Varnish from Liquitex. Takes some work not to get brush marks but it works great.
You don’t want cells, correct?
Generally no, you don't want cells.
@@LeftBrainedArtist I’m still new and trying to get the right paint mix
Lot’s of details!
I've found for me, I use 2 parts paint 1 part pouring medium.
👏
What is a left or right brain???
It isn't really direct science but a psuedo-scientific thought where left brained people are more oragnized and do better in math and stem type work and right brained people are more creative and free thinkers.
@@LeftBrainedArtist thank you
It looks like tux's.
It totally does. Never thought of it that way Ann.
The one time I tried it (a long time ago) I had a small cup inside another cup. It wasn't too bad but didn't have the patience to try again. Sorry I don't know the name of the artist
I think I have seen that one. I'll have to go back to it. Even now a few months later there are so many more things I want to try with this.
I wished u did it in metric for my brain or give me a link thanks
Metric is approx. 30 grams per ounce Mareka. That's what I use to make the math easier (actual is 28.xx).
@@LeftBrainedArtist thanks
Hey! Great videos, i love your work but sometimes i dont get it. Could you please add spanish subtitles? It would be very useful for me :) Thank you
Lo voy a tratar.
@@LeftBrainedArtist Gracias!!!
No. Never tried a wing pour
Let us know if you do and how it goes Lolly.
