String Pulling Art For Beginners - Colorful String Pull With My Favorite Colors

- Here ia a string pulling art for beginners demonstration of how I like to do string pulls.
I make painting trays out of wrapping paper tubes that I cut in half and line with a strip of freezer paper. I like to hot glue a piece of foam core to the bottom to keep the tray from rolling around.
I lay pieces of cotton twine in the tray and pour different colors over the string. I use a palette knife to make sure all the strings is coated with paint.
I lay the strings on the canvas and pull them one by one. This allows me to create an interesting composition and a layered effect.
This technique takes a bit of practice and finesse. The strings sometimes have a mind of their own. Don't get frustrated if your first paintings don't turn out how you intended, mine sure didn't.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
If you enjoyed the video I would love it if you liked and subscribed.

Beautiful
Thank you.
I’ve heard of a “string pull” but I haven’t seen one....it was fun seeing your name attached to this one. It’s (as usual) a beautiful painting. My granddaughter Lyla told me that she had heard from you! She was so excited. I can’t wait to watch this video with her. She’s 12 and loves pour painting. Someday I’ll have to find a way to show you her latest pour....it’s really quite good. She would be so thrilled that YOU got to see her painting! Are you on Instagram or messenger? I’ll have to have my daughter (Lyla’s mom) show me how to find you. I’m nearly 60 and technologically spooked. Anyway, Lyla’s Christmas gift from me this past Christmas was pour paints and canvases. She was over the moon! You are now her favorite pour painter on TH-cam. It tickles me! Your faithful fan, Vicki
String pulls are a fun technique but I find them deceptively difficult. It's all about how you pull the string to create the design. I haven't done one in a while. Maybe a string pull will be my next video.
I feel so honored that I'm a hit with your granddaughter. I'm on Instagram as brad kasten acrylic pouring. And I have a page on Facebook as well. You have to be friends on Facebook to use messenger, but feel free to message me any time. I'll paste the links to my instagram and Facebook pages below.
Thanks for the wonderful comments and I look forward to seeing Lyla's latest masterpiece one day.

Love this Brad, are we going to do it in class? Fun way to explore with beautiful results
Thanks Susan! We'll be doing string and chain pulls for sure. They are a lot of fun and there are lot's of fun ways to do them.

I like the black background and your color combo!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching Inga.
I have a question (or two) with regard to paint amounts, if you don't mind. I have done exactly ONE successful string pull, and for the life of me can't duplicate the results. Does the base layer need to be paper thin on the canvas? Seems like no matter how thin I make it; it always pulls way too much and just smears the painting. Second question...Should the paint on the string be allowed to drip away a bit before putting it on the canvas? When I do it, it always looks like there's too much paint on the string to get that crisp look. Your videos are where I go when I can't quite get there. Maybe I've just gone into a "String pull" slump, but I just can't seem to get re-focused on this technique. Any help appreciated.
It sounds like your paint is to thin. Use a thicker mixture and I think you'll have better results.
Really like this one. Hope to see more.
I'll be doing more for sure! Thanks for watching.
Simply beautiful ...Thanks for sharing ...Can you please tell us the size of the canvas ? .. thank you
Thank you so much for watching Salah. This is an 11" x 14" canvas.
Do you use the pouring medium in the black also? Or is that just plain black paint
Hi Maddie, Yes. I use the pouring medium in all the colors including the black. The pouring medium I used for this painting was Floetrol.
Tooooo good 👍🏻 really luv this technique

Is the black you start with on the canvas, flow acrylic?
Yes, it is Artist Loft Flow Acrylic mixed with Floetrol and a bit of water. I usually mix 2 parts Floetrol to 1 part paint.
So cool, Brad! Excellent string pulls. Very innovative way to contain and coat the strings. My very earliest foray into fluid art included tiny string pulls with baker's twine. This inspires me to revisit on a larger sale.
Thank you very much Carole. I started out with string pulls too! I haven't done them in a long time. But recently started to experiment with them more seriously. Good luck and have fun with your string pulls.
Just discovered your channel. I absolutely love you videos. Truly amazing!
Thank you very much. I'm happy you found my videos.
Adorable splendid, thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much lorraine.
Can you please share how to do over lapping strings pull in different colors all over the canvas and two maybe right in the centre diagnolly with different colours
I'd be happy to share that Michelle. It would difficult to describe that in words but I will create a video showing the process. Thanks for watching and the great suggestion.

What did you do for the black?
The black is mixed with the same recipe as the rest of the colors. The formula is in the video description.
