    Have you ever had this happen? You just used a lot of paint hoping to create a pour you can feel proud of, but at the end it just feels lacking? Here's a very neat trick I like to use when that happens to create something entirely different and very interesting, almost regardless of what happened originally on the canvas!
    I've curated an acrylic pouring starter kit for you here:

    tks a million as I tried on small canvas adding silicone oil I was so happy to get tiny cells. Now I will do like you and take a brush and flick the silicone oil on my canvas. So happy can't wait to try it tomorrow. I wish I had seen your video beforehand. 🥰

  • @yuuupyuuup7296
    @yuuupyuuup7296 Před rokem +6

    I need to just mention this since it didn't got mention in your video. An important factor is also the consistency of the paint, it is easier to get more cells when the paint is "thinner", it is alot about to find the perfect balance of the consistency og the paint. It is also worth mention a bit about silicon oil. The more you stirring the silicon oil in the paint you also get smaller cells, if you want bigger one, dont stirr or just give it a one swirl. Some colors also activate cells better/more then others and give a better result ☺️.Have a great day everyone 🌞🌻

    Exactly what I needed to learn tonight. It’s my second night of learning paint pouring. I couldn’t get any cells no matter how exactly I followed the “recipes” for PM/Floetrol, etc. You made it make sense! Thank you! 😍

    Finally someone who talks physics! Great explanations and great great examples. In the middle of the video, I was about to prepare myself to ask you about dry results, but I just had to wait for it, impatient woman ! And I was sure that the last ingredient was going to be water, sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one. Thank you so much, so useful

    Instead of flicking it on, try putting the alcohol in a little spray bottle like used for watering plants. You can get better coverage, and adjust the nozzle for fine mist or bigger drops.

  • @simongross3122
    @simongross3122 Před měsícem

    Very interesting, thank you. The moment you said that it was a physical reaction and not a chemical one, I guessed your "secret" ingredient. But I've seen people apply silicone oil differently - rather than flicking, they put a single drop into some of their colours and mix it in. No mess that way and pretty good results. I guess that would not happen with your secret ingredient. It would just mix in. Anyway, thanks for the informative video.

    I just used cornstarch on silicone the other day. It worked really well. I just kind of sprinkled it on and rubbed it off. You can just try it out on a piece that you're not quite as excited about. And see how it goes. I use some body powder that had cornstarch in it. Easy peasy

    You actually used 70% isopropyl alcohol in this video. You should try the 99% it works awesome. I have been using 99% isopropyl alcohol on and off ever since I started though not much lately and for my swipe color I always just use extra pm or a little distilled water and have always gotten great results. I’m glad other people like yourself are sharing these alternate methods. I either rely on the Rayleigh Taylor Instability or the hydrophobic affect to achieve cells without any oils.

    • @GeePours
      @GeePours  Před rokem +2

      Thats right! I did spot that later - i have two similar containers and the only difference on them was the % label. So ive been hearing the term hydrophobic effect a lot recently, usually with reference to enamels- but oils are hydrophobic too no?
