Well, today we put that question to the test in this experiment where we look at the different effects; BUT there is one question I have for you... and I can't wait for you to let me know what we should do to complete this piece.

I love experimenting and seeing what difference the black or white makes?
Personalmente, me gusta más el blanco!
Both beautiful. The black, while wet, looks as if it is illuminated from behind. My favorite. Yes! Silver glitter paint. It will be awesome. Thank you, Mark.😊
Thank you Kelli 🤩
This was an exciting experiment Mark! I love them as a pair. When I look closely you can see how they flow into each other. Perfect! Beautiful colours, cells and lacing effects. ❤ I would love to see a little silver glitter then varnished finish. Oooh, exciting. Have a great day my friend ❤
Glad you enjoyed the video and the creations Marie-Louise. Thank you so much for always watching and for your support 🤩
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt ❤️🎨🙏
I really needed this video yesterday haha I did a swipe and tilted wrkng and too fast and didnt get the results i wanted. This video could have helped me so much, and will help me with my next swipe. Thank you so much for making your videos 😁 they are helping teach people how to do this better.
Oh no, but you know what? You learnt what to do next time which is amazing because that’s how we all learn when something doesn’t always go right. Thanks so much for your kind words about the videos I make, I am so happy they are useful 👍🏻🤩
I love the white swipe and the silver glitter would look nice ❤❤
Thank you Jeanette 🤩
These are both equally beautiful. It reminds me of a moody night sky going into a bright clear sky. They definitely are a set that goes together with one another. So many composition points one could change up❤
Thank you so much ☺️
Love them both Mark. I think to the silver glitter would be amazing. Beautiful colors together! Thanks again for sharing & have a wonderful day. 😊💖
You are so welcome and thank you. You have a great day too Judy 🙏
The silver glitter would be a nice choice for this pair. I'm torn between the white or black swipes they are both beautiful. Great color combination also. I like to see a white base with a black or blue swipe color. I would love to see all different swipe colors used. Nice video Mark. Thank you😊
Thank you so much Daisy 🤩
I watch a lot of videos. Your demonstration and explanation of tilting is the best I've seen. Thanks!
Wow, thanks! I appreciate that ☺️
Mark... I painted a piece yesterday. Not at all what I was hoping for. Tried to "fix" it. Worse! Then, I thought to myself... Mark said not to give up. You can do it. Focus. I tried another pouring style, over the "mess". Voila!! BEAUTIFUL and probably my best piece so far. Thank you, for your encouragement.❤
Yay!!!!! So proud of you for not giving up and using your knowledge to still create something wonderful. Thanks for sharing that with me! Brilliant. You’ve made me smile 😊
Hmm, I’m definitely for the white stripe. The silver would be interesting 👍
Thank you 🤩
Very interesting experiment. The paintings are different but the same. I love the color combinations. Thanks for all that you do to teach us.
Thank you very much! ❤
Beide sehr schön 😊danke fürs zeigen👍👏🫶🙏❤️🙋🏼♀️🇨🇭
You’re welcome! Thank you 🤩
Gee, it's so hard to decide on a favorite one. Maybe the white, just because it's brighter. And if you're going to do glitter, go silver with those colors. Very nice!
Thanks so much ☺️
Mark, I love the composition of the black swipe, but the colors on the white swipe! I think silver glitter would be best. Maybe you could use similar colors with a black swipe on a white background and a black swipe on a white background.
Great idea! Thank you 🤩
I vote for the glitter. Just a sprinkle. Here in the states, I pour with glitter every now & then
They always sell first at my shows lol. What can I say. Sparkles are beautiful. Love that you are keeping them as a diptych. I like the use of the white and black swipe. As they come together as a set. Lovely.
Thank you Debbie 🙏🤩💜
It’s almost Christmas, definitely add glitter!!🏴
Thanks so much
Gorgeous x 2, Mark🏅🏅. I think they are both just beautiful as is. I'm behind in watching pourings - How dare responsibilities of daily life interfer in my life! Outrageous. Now I can start catching up with my real life again (?). Take good care xox
Thanks so much 😊 Patty you’re so kind thank you
Love how differently the two swipe colors tinted the other colors!!
Gold glitter for sure! I can't wait to see your final results with these!! I think the gold glitter will complement it better than the silver but I see everybody else said silver so maybe you should do one silver and one and gold lol
Thank you so much! Yes silver is winning so maybe one of each ☺️
Yes add the silver glitter! Glitter is always good! As for the swipe experiment.. thanks for doing this Mark! Side by side, while the decision was difficult, I do prefer the black swipe. I love that "ghost effect" on the black swipe! I want to see a swipe with black on the Pearl Paints.. in fact I will try that one. I always resin my paintings.. these would be boss resined! 🥰
Thank you so much. Yeah I did do a black swipe with Pearlescent’s - check out my Pearlescent playlist 👍🏻
ohhh ok I will now! Thanks again! :D @@MarkJRatcliffeArt
I prefer the white swipe and i would live It with only some varnish.
Very nice
Thank you 🙏
Hi Mark I really like these paintings. I think silver glitter varnish would really look cool.
Thank you so much Charlene 💜
Both really pretty but i think i like the white CA best. Silver glitter would be a really nice finish!
Thank you 🤩
Hello darkness my old friend...i liked the black swipe much better.
Thank you! 🙏
Love both of these! Would love to see what you do with silver glitter! Thanks for sharing!!🎉🎉❤
Will do!! Thank you so much ☺️
Hello Mark ! I'm happy to your experimentation of swipe today. ❤ Very interesting and informative video. You explain things so well and do it gently, one step at a time. 👍I will admit that I had a hard time choosing between the two pieces, the colors, design and shape of the cells are very different.🤔 Finally, I opted for the white swipe. 😊
Concerning your question and the glitters, for my part I think that the canvases are very beautiful like this so I would only apply the varnish. 😉 But you are the artist and it is up to you to choose what you want in your paints. 🤗
I like when you dare to use humor in your videos. The more time goes on, the more I discover traits of your personality, and I really like that. 😉
I end by telling you that I paused your tutorial and even backed away when I heard you say that your paintings were for sale. I heard myself say "YES!!!! 👍 He dared to say this. Supeeer Mark!" 🤩
I am sensitive to details and I like to share and observe the positive changes that are gradually added. 🎉
You are truly a beautiful person Mark and people feel it, it is for all these reasons that you reached 35K so quickly. ❤
You are an authentic being and you dare new things!! 👍
I encourage you to continue, you are on the right track. 🙏💯 I'm happy for you !! 😊
Thank you so much Caroline. Wow all your kind words here are so generous. Thank you. I really appreciate your kind support and encouragement- sometimes we all need to know we are on the right track so I appreciate what you say.
@@MarkJRatcliffeArtOMG You touch me Mark with you beautiful words. WOW!! 🥰 Thank you so much and I wish you what you wish on your life!! 🙏💕
Just breathtaking.
Wow thank you 🤩
Both pieces are lovely ❤
A master class in tilting! I say leave it as is.
Thank you! 😊 Hope you’re doing ok Carla ☕️☕️
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt Good morning Mark, I’m super good. Hope your day is too. Say… what are the boxes that you set the canvass on?
How cold is it there?
@@carlabeel8997 it’s -5 at the moment. The boxes are just small plastic containers found in any food store or craft store
@@MarkJRatcliffeArt Dear lawd I hope your nice and warm 🥰
@@carlabeel8997 I’ve done the lotto and if I win - LA here I come haha
Ooh I think gold glitter on the black swipe and silver glitter on the white swipe. 🙂
Thank you 🤩
I love them both. Its such a reptile kind of look to me. Im not so sure about adding a glitter look. Great job on them.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for this video! I almost never like a white cell activator but in this case I can't decide which one I like more! LOL Leave it to you to change my mind. The world can never have too much glitter. I think you should do the silver glitter on both.
Glad it was helpful! And thank you so much for your kind feedback. I’m defo going to do some glitter and I will post the results 🤩
This was a tough decision, but an excellent experiment. I am leaning towards the black swipe. I guess I like the negative space on that one. I also am leaning towards the silver glitter. I think that will brighten up that negative space, but still leave it -- if that makes any sense. Thank you for your detailed explanation. It definitely helped me who is hesitant about even trying to swipe! Congratulations on getting to 35K!!! Denise ❤
Thank you so much Denise - and YAY!! You noticed the 35K - I’m blown away that I’ve got that milestone. I set myself the target of 20k by end of 2023 so im so proud 🥳🥳🥳
Good evening, Mark
Wowing kinda looks like dark misty, trees ,and deers . Thank you for sharing.
Oh yes I love that interpretation Toni. Thank you 🤩
That is a really lovely piece love the cells curious on the white scipe
Thank you so much!☺️
I liked seeing this too Mark. The black base needed that silver .....only light color there... But beautiful!!!!
Can't decide which i like best.... Lovely!

Ooohhh ..glitter!
Thank you so much Savanna 🤩🙏
Ohhh gold glitter
Ohhhhh do you think so? 🤩
Love it
Thank you Hyacinth 🤩
I love these!!
Thanks so much 🤩
Joli. Rien à ajouter.
Thank you 🙏
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome ☺️
Gorgeous Mark, and a great experiment. I think I like the white swipe better because it’s brighter
I think so too! Thank you so much Kathy 🤩
Love both
Thank you Becky ☺️
Está precioso!!
Thank you 🤩
That is really beautiful
Thank you 🤩
wow these are pretty cool! great work, good sir.
Thank you ☺️
Beautiful leave them just like that
Thanks so much ☺️
Definitely silver glitter!
Thank you 🤩
Very good experiment I like them both as for embellishing them I would use a sliver pen and follow some of the outlines to give them more depth
Great idea! Thank you 🤩
I cant decide between the 2. I say use the silver glitter but only in a few places on each canvass. Thanks for the side by side comparison.
You are so welcome! Thank you 🤩
They definitely belong as a "couple". The white swipe ranks a little up on the black, But, also re your glitter - Silver, and only on your negative black spaces??? Love your art.
Thank you so much ☺️
Laba diena,wow kaip grazu! As kitame gyvenime gal ir taip tapyciau...sio gyvenimo - neuzteks😅 sekmes ir aciu uz darbus❤
Thank you so much for always supporting me and for all your kind comments
This was very interesting to watch. Both swipes are very beautiful and it's a great idea to keep them as a set. I am not sure if I would add the glitter, but if so, I would use the silver one. However, it would be great if you show us the varnished end result 🖒💖
Thank you so much! I will defo post a picture of the result once varnished x
Silver Glitter...
Silver
I'm sorry, but I just can't choose between the two because both of them have things that I like that the other doesn't have. I'd be curious to see what the sparkle would look like on them (I LOVE sparkle). I really like both of these. That was a fun experiment, Mark.
Thank you so much
Sono stupendi tutti e due, personalmente, preferisco il bianco, ❤
Thank you so much! I think I do too as it’s so much brighter 🤍
Everything you do is awesome. Sometimes when I’m not to excited how mine turned out I will integrate a picture to it. For instance I did a white, black, red pour I didn’t like. So I ended up blacking out a bull. Or drawing a guitar in the pour part and blanking out the background. Does that make sense to you
Thank you Nancy. I know what you mean and those type of embellishments are so much fun. 🤩
The white swipe. I'm going to take that Smartartcourse for sure because I've watched enough videos but I can't get it right. One main problem is when I tilt my board (very heavy and can't spin) my colors run down in a wavy pattern. Is that too thick or too thin of paint? I looks great right out of the cup onto the board I just can't do anything after that but swipe. Then I swipe too much.
Thank you 🙏
I love this but swiping is something I still struggle with. I get so frustrated that I want to quit. I guess just keep practicing
Thank you Holly! No don’t quit. It’s not easy to do but practice and being kinder to yourself will help 💜
Hi Mark, as always, thank you for giving us another great video 😊 Please can you tell me if you buy Australian Floetrol because we don’t have anything here in the UK that does the same? Buying it from eBay seems so expensive so I’m hoping artists from the UK have a homemade solution to AF? Thanxxx
Hey! I buy Australian Floetrol direct from Australia and have it shipped in from the Wholesale Paint Group. Owatrol do a version here in the UK called Aussie-Trol but I haven’t experimented enough with it to use that over Australian Floetrol.
Thank you 😊
Je préfère le noir pour le rendu ❤
Thank you 🤩
I think I like the white stripe better. Leave them as they are.
Thank you 🤩
If I were to use the glitter paint, I would use it very sparingly just highlighting certain areas of the existing painting.
I love that idea! I think I might try it. Thank you Sylvia 🙏🤩
I look forward to seeing the final results. BTW, I love how much you're growing in your art.
@@sylviabraddyart thank you so much ☺️
I'm going to try this, but lift off instead of swiping off the end. And maybe swipe again the other way a bit l on that end if it needs it.
Sounds great! Thank you 🤩
No glitter 😊❤
Hello Mark
Bravo j'adore avec comme beaucoup à priori, une préférence pour le swipe blanc et c'est normal vu que les bleus sont foncés. Alors pourquoi pas tester un ajout d'argent sur le noir !! 😅 Vous avez de la chance d'avoir du foetrol australien. En France nous n'en trouvons pas et pour moi c'est encore plus compliqué car j'habite dans une ile ( la Corse)..😢 Même sur Amazon Europe on ne trouve pas. Je testerai avec d'autres produits 😅 Vous n'avez jamais essayé la technique d'oreller ??
Excusez moi je reprécise technique d'oreiller !!! Il y avait une faute et pour la traduction je pense que c'est pas génial 😂😂
@@agnesmaillochaud8901thank you. I’ve not really tried the pillow technique with house paint for cells. Something defo for the future 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words and support 😊
Are 👍 great, but NO to glitter!!!! Maybe highlight black with light touch of Amsterdam pearls.
🤩🤩🤩
Leave them
Thank you 🤩
Please leave as is
That’s Dave 👍🏻
No glitter!
Thank you 🤩
I think IT is nicht wichtig Glitter 😊
Thank you 🤩
They look great together as they are but if you add glitter I think silver. 🫶🏼✨💫
Thank you so much! I think the silver glitter is a winner at the moment 🤩
