Acrylic Paint + Water - Why Does my Black Paint Swallow My Colors?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 พ.ค. 2024
- This was a fun experiment! Which canvas and paint brand do you like best? I am sticking with Amsterdam Brand paints, but the Artist Loft Black Acrylic paint surprised me! Next I will be doing a floetrol + water experiment, and then a floetrol + gloss medium experiment! Hope you found this video useful. Hope you enjoy the video! Thank you so much for watching. Happy painting!
In GRAMS, each of these paints took about 47-50% water for these colors
I am so happy that i found acrylic pouring/fluid art a few years ago. It has helped me in so many ways and it just keeps getting better and better. This visual arts creative outlet has made me so happy. I am loving this abstract art! I hope to keep doing this for years to come! I have always been fascinated by modern and contemporary art. There is something about it that is so freeing and expressive. I love acrylic pouring because i get to experiment and really join the creative side of my brain with the scientific part! There are so many different fluid acrylic pouring techniques out there, so much more to try and have fun with. Make sure you are subscribed to my channel so that you may learn and be creative with me. I love hearing all of your comments.

I definitely would love to see more comparisons like this - I learn so much! Thank you!
I'm so glad!
Thank you Molly for doing this experiment to help us who need it, I hope more artists do this, not many of them do. I know some people don't like the longer videos because they don't have a very long attention span but I love them because they are so very helpful and people can learn so much from them. I been doing flouid art for about 4 years now and I am still learning, I believe we all are no matter how long we been doing it for there is always more to learn.
so true!
I only discovered fluid art recently but I love it. These videos comparing different methods/mediums are so great for learning about how things work and what I can change in my own paintings to make them better. Love the videos :-)
I'm so glad!
I like the comparisons thank you for sharing . I LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU!!
Wow. These colors on the black base are absolutely stunning. 😍🤩😍🤩👏👏
I loved and so appreciate this video. You explained everything so clearly. Thank you Molly!!!
very informative..I appreciate you
I 💯 appreciate the time and effort you put into your “teaching” videos. You helped me grow sooo much, so fast when I first started, thanks to this style of video! 🥰 Thank you!
You are so welcome!
THIS CONTENT is why I spend hours watching video tutorials. Thank you so much.
Happy to hear that!
I love the Amsterdam Lamp Black shiny finish. It's so helpful to know these things Molly. Thank you.
This was great Molly. I really appreciate the experiment. Look forward to see more. The Amsterdam and Artist Loft paintings came out beautiful.
I love it when you get tickled over something … pure joy escapes from you! (McSlurry)
Thank you Molly that was so informative. I love the first two. I would like to see the fourth one used as you say, as the cell activator. 👍
Awesome - this is going to be very interesting. I was using just water for a while and certainly found it different with different label paints AND colors! Fantastic idea Molly.
Thank you, Molly. This video was really helpful. It’s so kind of you to take the time to make these videos. Really appreciate it. 🥰
# 1 and 2 are the best. Lamp black for sure! Thank you for sharing your experiences with your viewers.
What a great experiment! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us. This video is very helpful. I recently purchased a bunch of Creative Inspirations colors and now I know to mostly use them for thicker pours. I’m looking forward to seeing the experiment with floetrol and water, and then the experiment with Creative Inspirations gloss medium. Would love to see you do a thicker paint pour using the creative Inspirations brand. Thanks again for sharing!💕
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for doing these experiments, Molly.. very interesting& informative 😊 absolutely love your humor! Slurry.. Mcflurry 🤣🤣 color(painting)& laughter brightens any day!! Much love& blessings 🙏❤
Molly, you are so talented. I started doing Acrylic pour after watching your videos. I am a healthcare worker. Painting become my stress relief. It really inspire me . Thank you for teaching me so many techniques.
you are so welcome!!!
Thank you Molly. This experiment was quite eye opening. I generally use Artist loft for my base, but usually mix it with Floetrol and water and sometimes use a pouring medium. Looking forward to your upcoming video experiments.
You have alluded to how important it is to know how different brands react, but it was really good to actually see it. I like seeing your tests and experiments.
Glad it was helpful!
McMolly you crack me up. Thanks for doing this adventure with the paints.
My pleasure, LOL
Such a good video - very interesting reactions from the different brands - more of these please as really helpful 🤞🥰
Thank you! Will do!
Love love love it. I will be forever grateful for every single mixing, comparison, how to, explanation, tutorial video that you’ve made. I remember watching your how I mix my paints video 10+ times when I started, then watched again the first 5ish times I mixed paint. I can’t tell you how many times I decide I going to try a new technique (new to me) and then I spend an hour+ watching your past videos of that technique before I try. my current one for that, is your starburst pattern. I’ve watched those 4 videos at least 3 times each in the last week. I’m doing something wrong, but I know I’ll get there eventually.
Anyway the point is I know I’m not the only one that goes back to watch things several times but even for those who only watch it once, I know they are getting tons of great info and walking away with so much value.
You’re a great teacher and your inspiration is limitless.
Thank you for everything.
you are so welcome! And thank you for sharing, I agree, rewatching the videos is often helpful
This was Amazingly helpful! Will definitely save me some time and $$$ knowing now the importance of brands. More experiments like this please 😁. As always, thanks for sharing your art and process with us all. Your work is always stunning
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Molly! Interesting results ! ❤
There’s a Consistency gauge/chart on the website of Pour Scrape Repeat. Always worth spending time getting consistency right. Love you Molly! Hugs xx
Wow! The CI just ate those colors! This has been so informative! Thank you.
Merci pour toutes ces explications. Votre tableaux sont toujours magnifiques et d’une inspiration sans bornes, bravo❤
OHMY! I was NOT expecting that from the artist loft flow acrylic whatsoever! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO SEE MORE COMPARISONS! I've learned so much from this! TY MOLLY for taking YOUR time to teach us all this! You are such a sweetheart and so much appreciated!!! Hugs! :)
Pour big & Love Hard!
thank you ;)
Good educational video on paint brands, mixes and reactions. Can't wait to see the forward videos. And I really think when you are done you need to do white!! Great job Molly and thank you for the lesson! 👍👏💖
I love your experiments! Thank you for this one, it is very interesting. Can't wait for the other ones. Sending much love!
Glad you enjoyed!
VERY informative, and fun!!! I crack up with you when those amusing blurbs pop out (mcflurry slurry) because things in like that happen to me all the time! Also when you do the gasp when your over pour or have "happy accidents"!!! Again familiar to me and my doings...just totally appreciate your videos for ALL they bring! Including the creations of such beautiful art.
WOW. I have watched 100's of videos and that was in the top 10. Can't wait for the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a GREAT Experiment and thorough explanation and the use of just paint and water. THANKS SO MUCH for posting.
I loved this experimental tutorial! Your details and explanations were perfect. I am also happy the Artists Loft past your test as I use them 🙂 Looking forward to more videos like this 👍
Glad it was helpful! more to come!
Your laugh sounds exactly like my sister in-love. She’s a hoot. Beautiful work!! Love it.
I love watching your experiments. It saves me so much time and expense doing them myself. 😍🤩
Glad you like them!
Well done Molly! I love this. Keep ‘em comin!
Absolutely fantastic video!! ❤ thank you Molly! I have tried to imitate colors and pours from both you and Olga (imitation is best form of flattery 😊) and found especially in black pours, that I seem to fail spectacularly. Watching this was like having a light bulb 💡 go on in a dark room. I suspect I have been having a similar issue even though I don’t mix just with water.
New experiments are on the horizons for me….. thank you for posting this video and
Yes Yes - a thousand times Yes! Can’t wait for more videos like this or any videos you post as I love watching you create new art which is beautiful and inspiring to us all ❤
Thank you so much!!! I appreciate your kind comments :)
Molly this was such a helpful video! Thank you! I’m STILL struggling with the black, red, white and silver piece that I spoke to you about, months ago! Also, I’ve found using a pipette to make the “blob” for your drip test, works really well to “blob” the same amount. They’re cheap and I can reuse them as long as they’re cleaned out right away. Thank you again for the experiment videos! Much love, Treesie 💐💖💐
Hi treesie! Dang you are still having trouble? What is happening when you make the painting? Great idea on the pipette!
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY YES!! Molly, I can NOT tell you how many 24”x30” canvases I have bought and ruined, trying to get this painting right! The client (well, my brother in law) wants a black background with a HUGE red, silver and white flower blown out with very little negative space. No matter what brands I use, my reds end up turning a purple color and it’s just a mess! I want the reds to remain very vibrant but it’s like they mix with the black too much and just look muted. I can email you pictures of some, if that would help but I’d love ANY help/advice you could give!! I’m even more than happy to pay you for your time to help me conquer this painting! I appreciate you soo much and I ALWAYS get so inspired after watching your videos!! Thank you! Much love my friend, Treesie
Thank you 🙏 Molly, for taking the time to do this. I sincerely appreciate it. I found this to be a great learning video and very informative. I love your sense of humour, you always manage to make me smile/laugh and you never fail to brighten my day. Looking forward to more of your videos. Love from Australia ♥️💐💐💐
Mell, thank you so much!!!
Wow what a difference . So happy you’re doing this
love when you show the differents between brands
I loved this video, yes more please.
I’ve been using floetrol and water with Amsterdam, and just recently tried creative inspirations with just water. Interesting that it seems you might be doing the reverse! I have had a problem with Amsterdam metallics floating to the top. Maybe I need to make it a little thicker. I love these tutorials! Thank you so much!
Interesting!
Hi Molly, I am new and laid down my paints after experimenting with fluid art 25 years ago. Although I had no idea what I was doing, and now I am learning so much from you, Olga, & Rinske. I am taking your course too. I find you immensely inspirational, love your color combinations, and sharing your knowledge is a true gift to me. Thanks so much💕!
you are so welcome!
Once again Molly, fantastic video , great advice and classic Molly with the McDonald's slip , so so funny , loved the first 3 after they dried, and happy birthday again ❤
I like watching and learning on your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helpful tips😘 Pour scrape repeat has a great free consistency chart. When I'm not sure about how thin or thick my paints are it is my go to😁
Great video Molly.. can’t wait for the rest of the experiments. Thank you
Very good educational content. When I used acrylic paint, it took me awhile to get the right consistency. It was trial and error for awhile. I think the brand names are a little bit different. Not a lot but enough that I would have to judge it by feel and stretch. I love this painting. It reminds me of a deep sea view of colorful corals! Nice work Molly. I do enjoy your videos. If you ever do an art show in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, let us know! ❤️🙏❤️
I love the first two the best just as you do Molly and love you too take care and God bless
Awesome experiment/lesson! Can’t wait to see the next one 😊
Coming soon!

@@MOLLYSARTISTRY yes I will I can’t seem to find Australian Floetrol in the Lowes or Home Depot store where I live . I love your swipes and tried to do them.using regular Floetrol but never turns out right , but I’ll keep trying . thanks again 👍😀
The comparison was a fantastic experiment
Yes, please, more experiments! This was very helpful for me as a beginner 👍
You got it!

@@MOLLYSARTISTRY i am in progress to watching all of your videos 😄. But Thanks for the links!💚
This is a very informative video. Love the two Amsterdam ones. Thank you Molly ❤️
This was very interesting Molly, thanks for the experiment, brilliant information! 😁👌
Very COOL experiment. Love the results. Thanks so much for sharing!🤟❤️
Thanks for watching!
Love this video and the experiments! Can’t wait to see the rest and the results!
Thank you!
This is an incredible teaching video Molly. I’m always learning from you💚
I love this video, I would like to see white black and metallic paints or even pearl paints so cool thank you for being so willing to help.
Pretty colors! If you're facing the paintings, 1 and 3 are my favs!! ♥
Thank you!!
I did only one with a black base and it totally swallowed the colors. This was very helpful. I look forward to more!
great review video to go back to the beginning so thank u hope to see more
More to come!
The Amsterdam Lamp was my personal favorite. A bit of shine even without a gloss medium? Yes, Please. I love your tutorials and experiments. Can't wait to see the next one. 😊
Yay! Thank you!
Love you too Molly. 😊 Thanks for the video
Excellent comparison! Looking forward to seeing the floetrol blends🤔
Super interesting! Love those bright colors as well:)
Thanks so much 😊
Good morning Ms Molly!! Love it! Great start to our morning. Headed out to get to our Live Stream at 1pm pst. See you and hubby soon!
Have fun! Thank you!
Thanks Molly for this lesson!!! It will help me when I buy more paints!! I do love love the colors u used pink's and blue's!!! 💕💗💓💞
This was a great informative video, Molly!! These experiments are very helpful to many artists I'm sure!!
Thank you for this video experiment. 3 out of 4 paintings are gorgeous.
You are so welcome!
Great video Molly. Can’t wait to see the next comparison video. Thanks for this tutorial
Yes! I had this 3 days back. I had four deep edge canvases to create something similar to this demo. I normally use arteza & Pebeo but for this I used Meadens black & it swallowed up my colours - so glad of this demo, Molly, now I know the cause of the problem! Got to say, even though these canvases are already prepared, I gesso 2 or 3 coats beforehand. So my paint always goes over the edges & sides beautifully without leaving bald patches. Just a tip! Thank you, Molly - you’re a little star! xx
thanks for the tip and for sharing!
I just had to totally scrap off a huge painting and I wish I had another canvas underneath as the stuff on my floor cover is BEAUTIFUL! Haha - so I've come back here to your video to just.... gather myself. You are my comfort zone tonight. xx
oh, sorry to hear it :) It happens to us all...
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY Good to hear that - I was actually angry at myself!
Love this!! And I love seeing you experimenting with things like this! I used to have this issue but not so much anymore since I use mostly Amsterdam paints. Thanks Molly for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us!
I love learning more about colors against black white and brown also grey. Those 4 colors I feel like sallow a lot. I’m glad to know about the tones of black. Thanks for tip. I use to hair color and this made more sense now with paint. Again thank you 🙏
Great comparison Molly 💕 I love the colour palette💕🙏
Very interesting! I'd love to see more like this!! Thanks!
More to come!
Your workshop was very clear.
Your creativity is inspiring.
Greetings from England
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you Molly. I love watching these types of videos. Even though I’m not painting much right now. I will again and love to learn.
Really a neat video Molly! It’s helpful for just starting out-there is just so much paint to choose from!!
Great experiment with interesting results. Thanks Molly.
Reminds me of psychedelic jellyfish! I prefer the “lamplight “ black you used on the first one. Great pops of color throughout. 👍
Molly Mol! Yes yes yes! You just helped me soooo much! I use the Artist loft white and black as my base. It’s affordable and always in stock! But the Amsterdam black all the way to the left is a black I’m really digging! I’ll have to go back for the name because I’m ordering it tonight! I love that deep black! Not dull at all! I’ve noticed the artists loft white swallows up my colors and I kind of dig that bleeding into one another look but not for all fluid applications! I’m having such a hard time getting the Dutch pour! And I love flowers so much! I love the elegance the Dutch pour has! Also, I realize my paints are way too thick for the Dutch! It kind of freaks me out to make my paints that thin! But I’m gonna do it because I trust your knowledge! Don’t ever stop sharing what you learn! I’m wanting to be able to create and sell my art as part of what I do in retirement because I love to make pretty things and I love to create! I wish you lived in Oregon!
Don’t feel bad about the flurry and slurry. I was discussing the brand pixies for alcohol inks once and I said remember those pixie sticks we had as kids? Totally unrelated but if a new artist goes to the store and say I want to buy those pixie inks, someone might be able to help them and say you mean pixis! So my brain works like yours and I get it. I find it endearing. Man I love that black. Amsterdam it is! Fingers crossed I can get this Dutch pour!
One last comment…..the turquoise and dark violet - beautiful. You know there is purple turquoise? Blue, green, purple and possibly white! Wouldn’t that be pretty?!
Thank you for this video. I’m going to read the description and I hope you have your canvas stands listed. I am going to order some!
1 and 2 gorgeous. The other two get a little lost I think. 😍💜
These types of videos are wonderful! I learn so much! You’re an amazing teacher as well 🙌🏻
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this learning video. It answers so many questions. PLEASE continue doing these types of videos.
will do

I have always used Artist loft for my base. I like this experiment thanks 😊 Molly
This video was awesome because I am moving on from ready to pour paints. I would rather spend the money and get a better paint. I also like the Simplicity of only using water versus messing with floetrol if I don't have to. I like the idea of running the paint test as you did. My only question left on this video is that gold paint which I think was metallic. Saw that you added it on last and I'm thinking that was by Design versus pouring it first or in the middle. On the beginners site yesterday I questioned on a new post regarding water with quality paints and which paint would those be? I learned a lot from this video so I'm looking forward to more! I have watched 200 videos and spent way too much time watching versus having fun painting! BTW, I also like how you titled this video. Easier to find
Fascinating! This explains so much!! Thank you
This is exactly what I needed and at the exact right time. Thank yoi
I am loving learning from you! Thank you for doing this
I'm so glad!
Great examples, thank you. I love watching your experiments.
Very informative, I’ll check out the floetrol and paint next 🤗
That is very interesting experiment. Thanks for showing us your results.
Thanks for watching!
I found this video Extremely Helpful!!! As a beginner, every tip helps, thank you SO much Molly! Love your creative spirit and authenticity. 💗 You're a great teacher! Please do more comparison videos. 😁
thanks, will do!
Loved the tutorial. Made me want to test as well.
Always so full of great experiments and information..Thank You!
Thanks again!
Minunat..îmi place.👍💯
Felicitări pentru toate videoclipurile tale! 👏🤗🌹
This was really helpful Molly, thank you!
