- In today's video I'm showing you how to use Liquitex string gel which is an acrylic paint medium that allows you to turn your acrylic paint into strings. I also have an abstract painting demonstration, showing you how to use Liquitex string gel to build up layers and create some abstract paintings and textures. But what were your thoughts on this Liquitex string gel? Will you be using this acrylic paint medium for your next work of art? And are there any other acrylic paint mediums that you'd like to see tested and demonstrated on the channel? Leave your suggestions in the comments below!

Perfect video, exactly what I needed to know. Thanks very much. HAHAHA, love the outtakes, just saw that!
Ah thanks Moogie! 😁
this is awesome
Really cool!
Very helpful! Thank you
Ah no problem Amy! 😊😊
Very playful! B R A V O !
Omg, dude this is so handy!!!!! I will definitely try this! Great art too!
Glad you enjoyed and thanks! It's super fun to use!! :-)
I look forward to using it, I have ideas already!
I am so happy that I chose to look through your videos instead of checking my notifications!🙂
Been wanting to see a demo of this medium for over a year!
I'm curious if it would work with liquid watercolors, pigment powder, and mica.
I love your abstract, sometimes simplicity looks best. In this case it definitely did.
You are da man!
Liquitex said nothing about using it as a permanent resist.
Oh this is an old video so it's probably's awful!! 🙈🙈 If I remember right I think it would work in different ways with watercolours and powders, similarly to a wax resist or something.
good job beautiful
I add a bit of water when using it with acrylics
Oooooooo I've not heard of this stuff. I shall be trotting off to eBay/Amazon to find some of this!
Thanks for showing us. x
No probelm Nutty! Have fun making! 😁😁

Oh boy! I see you're going to be just as bad as Claire @Claire's Crafty Corner for my bank balance!!
One tub on the way, and I'm already thinking of ideas for it. 😃😃 xx
He he, you are adorable at the end!
👏🏻👍🏻😃🤗🥰🥰
Useful video on how to use String/Tar gel medium. I found the first bit a little difficult to watch because your hand and arm were in the way. Your painting though is awesome. Thanks.
Glad you found it helpful Jane! Yeah that was back in the day when I wasn't great at recording haha! Hopefully things have improved nowadays! And thankyou! It's a really easy medium to work with, definitely worth having a bit of fun and experimenting with it!
Anthony Crammen thanks. I currently have two canvases on the go with slightly different methods. I’ve had tar gel for about 3 years and never really known what to do with it. I had great fun last night starting to play with it.
Oh cool! Yeah I think it's a cool medium to have a play with, you can get some really nice textutes with it too! Completely reminds me of glue gun strands but not hot and you can colour it lol.
❤💛💚💙💜🌈🌠
It seems like it could easily create a resist for watercolors, but I haven't tried it yet.
Could you use it als dot for example with a dotting tool? Or in a bottle or Pipette for small dots?
Yeah you could, if the dots end up being on the larger size they may spread a little bit as the string gel is quite soft, but should work find and dries very stiff.
Do you think that if you poured this over baking / wax paper it could be peeled off once dry?
Possibly, I think you'll end up with some strands that are similar to hot glue? Not 100% sure though!
I found your video when looking to learn about string gel. You gave a very good explanation and examples. Thanks. Can you please tell me what size canvas did you use for the painting and do you recall approximately how much of the medium you used. I am trying to determine approximately how much $$$ it might cost to create a painting such as your example. Thanks again.
Hey Okmama! Glad you enjoyed the video! The canvas is 100cm x 49.5cm i'm pretty sure I used the majority of the tub or around half. I think in total the painting cost me around £50ish to create, but that's off the top of my head so I might be wrong lol!
Thanks Anthony, that is a big help.
No problem! 🙂
What is the Mixing ratio ? Acrylic to Stringy 50/50 %
I just got a jar of that stuff, after a couple years of debating. *L* have you poured on glass to try and achieve a specific design? I keep thinking like a collage, on watercolor paper, I wouldn't want to mess up my original piece.*L* Just wondered if you'd tried peeling it off of something?
I've never tried I'm afraid so I wouldn't be able to say!
My problem with using this is the initial big glob that falls down first .. really not the look I wanted. I like the string without the glob!
now I'm looking to find this is the US
Should be able to! Think Liquitex is a worldwide brand, would recommend amazon or your local art shop! :-)
Add a bit of water when using it with paint
How long it takes too dry?
I would say a couple of hours, can't really remember as I made this video years ago 😅
@@AnthonyCrammen xxx Thank YOU!
Ballz balls balls
Huh?! 🤔🤔
I open this one time and cannot get the damn lid back
off.
How long it takes to dry, as a string line, not a blob...and if it is a blob, and you know the answer, please teeeeeel me x
I'd leave it a day to full dry.
@@AnthonyCrammen xxx thank you... I am enjoying your paints comparison... I enjoy your bubbly videos!
Your camera 📷in wrong direction
Put your camera on the other side so we can see what you're doing
