I know, brown isn't everyone favorite color. Other than brown, what colors do you find it hard to work with?
For some reason I always have trouble with silver. It always vanishes.
For me it's orange. It's just not a color I am drawn to and other than using it with rainbow colors or with pink/red and yellow, I find it hard to be creative when picking out a color palette
@hawkpaul8735 metalics will always be thinner because of the type of pigment. Mixing your metalics a bit thicker than the rest of your paints will keep that color separation. If metalics are too thin, they make a shiny haze over the other colors. If you're going for that, great! If you'd rather more disinclined, make the silver a bit thicker! Like if all your paints have a 2 count trace, make the silver a 3 count trace!
@@alexandriamonk2345Google color palettes. I find they work well.
David, I am a true beginner. I have never done acrylic pouring before but once. I really don't know what I'm doing. What pour is a good one for a total beginner like me? I wanted to try a Dutch pour, but someone said it was a harder pour to try with the hairdryer. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
This by far is the best video out there for beginners who are ready to pour! Really appreciate all the helpful tips and everything I need to get started!
So glad it was helpful Dianna. Let me know if you have more questions.
Finally someone who understands what newbies need to learn without complicated mathematical puzzles!
I'll be back!!!
Haha, glad to help Glenda. let me know if you have more questions.
I wish this video had been around when I first started. I watched loads of videos but nobody was as helpful as you are. A phrase I heard a lot was 'make your paint the consistency of warm honey'. As I'd never seen warm honey it meant nothing. Your mound upon a mound etc was much more logical to hear. Thanks for everything you've done David. I'm sure this video will help people new to the hobby.
You are so welcome! That is good info to know also. Always trying to get insights in to what people watching my channel would most benefit from.
Just started acrylic paint, haven’t done any real painting yet because I’m afraid I might not be good at it. But watching this video has give courage to start tomorrow, do my first piece of art, lol.
Thank you very much for all those tips and advice. I went and bought my apron.
Will be checking your other videos. Love your explanations. Easy to understand.
Good luck on your painting journey. I hope you have fun. You might be surprised what you can produce.@@carmelomorales1
Thank you very much for your videos. You are a wonderful teacher. I just turned 83 years old and decided to do something different. I bought my canvas and tools and started to pour. I made some big mistakes and then I found you. I am watching all your videos now. This has been probably two months since I started. Now I am pausing and learning the right way. However, when I show to people what I already painted they love them. So, that encourage me to learn more and do it right. Thanks again.
Awesome to hear. Let me know if you have more questions that you can't find answers to.
I'm one of those that have watched too many videos trying to find answers to basic questions. Thank you for covering them. Now I'm going to ty it.
You're very welcome! Let me know how it goes.
You're very welcome! Let me know how it goes.
I am new to this technique and out of the hundreds of other videos I’ve watched no one has explained this in such detail like you did. Thank you so so so much.
You are so welcome Logan/Rachel.
Thank you so much for teaching us all details. I was realy looking for the mixing materials when the acrylic is very Tick. God bless you .
I've learned more from you about acrylic pouring than any other artist on yt. Thank you so much for teaching HOW to mix, pour, etc.; & sharing your knowledge & talent with everyone.
You are so welcome! Always glad to help.
This is a really brilliant tutorial!! I have wanted to start but been afraid I would waste all my money and stuff it up - you have given me the confidence to start!
Glad to help. let me know how it goes.
I am delighted to find a left brained artist! Just what I needed to understand the important basics! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Wow!! This is one of the best acrylic pouring videos that I have ever watched. You have a amazing way of explaining everything in a way that makes things less intimidating. I can’t wait to start pouring. Thank you.
Thanks so much 😊
With all respect Wow ur Beautiful
You are the best teacher out of the 8 I've watched. THANK YOU
Thanks so much. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have. Questions make for great video ideas for me.
I just did my first pour and it came out amazing! However, if I hadn’t watched these videos, I would have had a hot mess. I bought a beginners set, and the instructions for mixing their medium with their paints made it WAY too thin! So I used all of your tests and got it right. I am so excited! Thank you for giving us these lessons. I normally do acrylic paintings that are very detailed landscapes. So this was a breath of fresh air 😂
Awesome Carol. I've tried landscapes but I'd need another 10,000 hour of practice before they became anything I'd even consider showing people. 8)
Thank you so much for putting this together!!!🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 I am a beginner and was so overwhelmed as to where to even start!!❤
You got this! If I can do it, anyone can really.
This is the best information I've received for thus far .
Glad you think so!
I’ve been watching a lot of acrylic pours and you are the best at explaining the why. Thank you.
You are so welcome Linda. Glad to help. Let me know if you have more questions.
I painted a little in high school, then in 2015 my mom wanted me to do a painting for her. It had been so long, I found myself watching CZcams videos and discovered FLUID ART! 300+ paintings later... I still get confused about all the different "Formulas" and "Techniques"! My studio, lol is in my 100 year old basement and the floor is NOT level... Your videos have made things much better! Thanks David!
Glad ot help my friend.
Great tutorial, much appreciated.
You certainly know your stuff.
Greetings from the UK
Thanks Tony. Glad it was helpful.
I’m blown away…SO much practical and well-presented information for newbies like me. Thank you!!!!!!
Glad to help Tracy. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Best tutorial ever! Every bit of information is precious! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video! I'm certain there are others out there, but this is the first one to break it down in an understandable way. You very simply provide what needs to be known about mixing paints and what to use for beginners. Once again, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Wow, thus is the best video I have seen. The consistency and leveling tip blew me away. I have watched many pouring videos and none has explained the tricks of pouring. Now I am more confident to try acrylic pouring. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful! Let me know how it goes Beverly.
I love your technical explanations
Thanks so much Elsie.
The one you are covering is just beautiful
Isn't that so interesting with abstract art. We all like this so differently. My wife and I am complete opposites generally.
What a guy! My hero! After a year of buying a fortune worth of supplies, you have given me the courage to finally do a pour! I can do this! Thank you!!!
You can do it for sure Suzanne. Let me know how it goes.
Just a friendly tip, if you put the paint (the thickest) into the cup first then the glue (the second thickest) , mix them, then add the water (the thinnest) into that a little at a time you'll have an easier time emulsifying them.
Great tip!
Starting this week David! Thanks for this video. I'm out gathering what I'll need to begin pouring. I'm excited. I'm a semi-retired professional tour entertainer and have contemplated doing this for about 5 years now. Your video pushed me into get off my behind and start enjoying a new hobby. I'll show you my first pouring. Thanks again! God bless you! Here we go! 😊👍👌
So glad to hear that Gary. Good luck!
You are not just a great teacher, David, but such a sweet guy. I love learning from you. I also need to know the why of things as it helps me to retain what I've learned. I really appreciate all you do and your encouragement.
Thanks so much!
I'm so glad I found you!! Thank you for your videos!
Thanks Jessica.
Thank you, thank you, David!💋 So many "Artist's" out there, that show what they can do, never fully explain or help you develop unless you subscribe or pay, to become better in chosen mediums, with them! You, my lovely, are a special soul, with your sharing and not adhering to making a fast buck with a few wee tantalising ideas! I love doing my Landscapes. But needing to stretch out into something new! Pours are so tantalisingly and different, and family and friends will be blown away, with me going out on a new adventure! Love you!❤❤😊
I love pouring so I hope you have as much fun as I do with it.
So many artist with degrees all ready now about binders and different pigment paints he self taught he's good for beginners
I like to let the paint dry and then make jewelry with it. I like to catch it on the plastic side of freezer paper. When dry the paint peels right off. You can also tilt the paper to to spread out the paint and adjust the composition.
Awesome Carole. Love making cabochon with the dried skins.
Love your training sessions. Thanks. ❤
You're so welcome!
This is the most exhaustive explanation of why we do anything related to pouring
Thank you so much ❤
My pleasure Jane😊
All of them came out so beautiful
Thanks Lillie!
DAVID, FIRST TIME THAT SOMEONE EXPLAINED SO CLEARLY WATH TO DO IN FLUID PAINTING. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
So glad to hear that. Let me know how your first pours go!
@@LeftBrainedArtist HOPE TO START TOMORROW WITH POURING, BUT TODAY I AM GOING TO PREPARE THE MEDIUM.
I'm glad I found this video from you! I have a lot of school glue that I ordered from Amazon, and now I have a way to use the glue. I even have a bottle of extra strength Amazon glue, which is just like Elmer's Glue-All. I've got tons of clear glue, too. Thank you again for this!
You are so welcome! Let me know how it goes!
THANK YOU for actual coherent instructions in one vid! Bravo!
My pleasure Elsie.
Unbelievably, I had never heard of or seen any acrylic pour paintings before, and I'm 69 years old! Fortunately for me, l stumbled across one of your videos the other day and l was instantly hooked.
I've just ordered my first couple of canvases and some paints and l can't wait to start painting.
Thank you for inspiring an old bloke to paint again after so many years.😊
You are so welcome! Let me know how it goes Dave.
You are a very good teacher. I love this video. Thank you David. 👍👍
You are very welcome Violette. Have you started pouring yet?
@@LeftBrainedArtist yes and i tried a swipe.
This is absolutely the best video for beginners or anyone on YT for pouring. Your information, presentation abd demonstrations are invaluable. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. It is anazing.
You are so welcome Patty.
I appreciate your way of sharing knowledge. Thank you
So nice of you Jolly.
It’s looks fabulous!! I love this!!
Thanks Kimber!
You explaining how you need the steps is how I think about art. So that’s left brained? So interesting. I need the steps and like to know why.
Left brained people are more step by step oriented. I don't "feel" the art like other people. I observe and change based on my observations and testing I have done.
Thank you so much! So glad I found your channel. You are such an inspiration.
You are so welcome Linda. Good luck pouring.
I did it and I can't thank you enough!!
So awesome to hear. I hope you loved it.
David you are a godsend. Thank you so much for this video, because this tutorial is well needed for beginners, such as myself. Most of the designers make it seem as if no prep is needed before you start. You answered all questions that beginners need to know… And I thank you for that. This was very helpful, you explained everything to a T. Well done.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You're very welcome Michelle.
Your methodical approach to acrylic pouring is a fusion of art and science that I love about your videos. I have too many other hobbies to start up acrylic pouring. But, your videos provide information and tips that are also helpful for other craft applications using acrylic paints and/or mica pigments. 😀
Wow, thank you Abby. Glad to help.
Wow!! This is one of the most informative acrylic pouring videos I have ever watched. You have got an amazing way of explaining everything in a way that makes things less intimidating. I can’t wait to get started. Thank you.
So many great tips....and I especially love that you have paint smudges on the shoulder of your shirt! That's totally me, so I've learned that I needed clothes dedicated to painting; more than just an apron! 😅
Definitely. I have a whole closet of those now.
Thanks so much for your videos!! First time I've tried things that actually work!!
You're welcome! So awesome to hear that Cindy.
I love acrylic pouring w/ a blowdryer to spread it out! So much fun! I have created 5 paintings that are super cool and I now feel accomplished as an actual artist! Thanks for making videos, so many people can learn a lot by watching them. Experimenting on your own is also very important, but the pro tips help so you don't waste time/money. Thanks LBA!
So true. Awesome to hear you got great results with the blow dryer. My first few were dismal failures.
i just love your first pour!
Thanks Sharon.
This is the first video I have watched about paint pouring and you are an excellent teacher. I need to know the why and you fill that need. I stumbled on you accidentally and lucky I am.
Thank you so much Linda. Glad to help.
I was experimenting and managed to get some nice results with a light brown and a nutmeg brown and orange, yellow, and dark copper. Sort of a Halloween vibe. The dutch pours on a white background turned out surprisingly good.
Interesting! I'll have to check that out.
A valuable resource! Thank you for the great tutorial!
You're very welcome!
Wonderful class, David!! That was extremely beneficial with well presented encouragement. Thank you for caring enough to teach us.
Glad you enjoyed it Beth.
Thank you for this. I need to rewatch and take notes.
One of my big questions is what to use as a pouring medium. There are so many variations out there. I will start with paint, a jar of pouring medium and water. I have all of that and a TON of different paints.
Tammy also has great videos but again, so many different recipes.
I will have more questions as I go along. I have to get started!
Start with glue or floetrol. Tons cheaper than other mediums and once you master that you can move to the more expensive ones or adding different mediums together.
Uhhhg
The paper dropy tilty thing is such a good idea!
Lol. 🤜🏽🤛🏽
My favorite Art Science teacher! SO glad I found this channel!!
Wow, thank you Caitlin.
Thank you so much for your videos…They are so easy to understand and follow because you explain everything as you go and don’t keep secrets about how you accomplish your techniques! I had been trying for two years to get cells to my satisfaction and became so frustrated that I stopped painting all together….all the other artists just added to my frustration….but now after watching your videos, I’m ready to begin again and feel more confident that I will be happy with my efforts! Thank you again David! From a tired old lady….😂…..Peace!! Out!! 🌹
So glad to help Hazel. Don't hesitate to ask any questions that you have.
This is an Appellee named title 🤣🤣🤣
I resemble this remark 😝
I’ve bought and stored ALL of the supplies over 2 years. Still scared to dip😬
My toes into the dirty pour water 😂
Thanks for the Nudge
Let me know how it goes.
Great information. Especially to a newbie. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant, thanks for video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video!! All the basics covered clearly and concisely!!
Great to hear!
This is an EXCELLENT video, and your narration is perfect! I have been painting for over 20 years and started pouring many years ago by trial and error with a lot of waste. this is a game changer for those who are just starting out. I love your teaching method!
Thanks Joanna for the lovely comment. So glad to help.
You really focus on what is Relevant👌‼️ Thank you for sharing your Experience🤲❤️Toom@CapeTown
That's how I learn so I figured others would be the same.
I’m a “traditional” artist. I’ve worked in oils and acrylics for years - ever since poor health sabotaged my IT career. Mostly landscapes with a foray relatively recently into abstract work. My daughter asked me a few weeks ago if I could do a large painting for her & her partner’s bedroom. She wants something either “ocean swirls” or “space/galaxy”. I’d watched pouring videos a few years ago and tried a few little pieces but didn’t really have the space to set something up to handle the mess. My husband told me a couple of weeks ago that I should have said something and promptly created a space for me in the utility room with a plastic lined wooden tray he built from scrap wood. I’ve been watching you and a few other artists and every few days trying a different technique on small 9x12 canvases. Thank you for explaining the reasons behind various things, like why you layer colours in specific ways etc. I”ll keep practicing and keep watching for more inspiration and knowledge.
Good luck. I'd love to see the pour you do for your daughter when you get to it. Ocean and galaxy are definitley some of my favorites.
Thank you for your advice. 🤩
My pleasure.
Thank you for your knowledge and talent. Very Informative❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome Paula.
I am a WHY person as well. Once I know the Why I understand it and most of the time don't have any other questions.
Just at the mixing point and really enjoying the video. Makes so much sense to me. Thanks. I'll watch to the end.
Thanks Dorothy.
Wow vraiment beau ,j'ai hâte de commencé
Dis-moi comment se passent tes premiers tableaux Sylvie.
I smiled at your comment about the power of hair dryers. I have a speckled brick garage wall and a bit of a harlequin concrete floor thanks to the hair dryer method. I have a heat gun and a gas burner so I guess I can ditch the hair dryer.
8) I have splatters everywhere for sure.
I liked the last one
Thanks Claudia.
Very pratical and useful information. Thanks.
You are welcome!
Always good to get back to the basics.
So true.
I also need to learn with step-by-step instructions as well as know the why's, what's, how's etc. This is THE MOST informative video on CZcams!! Thank you so much. I am so new to this (haven't even done a pour yet) and have spent hours and hours watching videos on CZcams and NOBODY explains and demonstrates like you do. Brilliant video!! Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow!!! Loved this video! I am also a left brained person and finally someone understood this about a lot of us. Everything in a logical organized reasoned way. Thank you so much. After watching my first video with you, my head is not spinning with, “what if I do it wrong” and all those other insecurities.
Glad it was helpful! Also, we can't be afraid of failure. Failure is by far the best teach and we should be embracing it. You will learn so much more if you start and fail. 8)
I really appreciate how clear & concise this video was. I have watched a lot of paint pouring videos & yours is by far the best teaching video I have seen, so thank you!
You are so welcome Sue.
THE video to start with as a newbie!! After lot’s of other video’s, I was still missing so many levels of “understanding”! Thank you for your left brain!
You're so welcome Kae.
Beautiful . Thanks.
Welcome 😊 Have you started painting Leonette?
You are exactly talking to me 😂I really appreciate you and I’m going to do it for real ❤❤❤
Let me now how it goes Henna.
@@LeftBrainedArtist I will 👍🏻
Do you have a Patreon account?
This is the most informative essential video for anyone trying this medium for the first time. You are an outstanding teacher . I highly recommend your videos to any student young or old . You cover many if not all of the possible frustrating problems a student might encounter which in turn encourages the student to keep trying. I plan to watch all your videos on every technique first- saving time, tears and money. Simply amazing.
I don't have patreon but I do have a community if you are interested. community.leftbrainedartist.com
The one on the tile is my favorite
Thanks Ann.
I have been pouring because of you and have made art I like!!! Thank you❤❤❤
That is amazing to hear Eileen.
green and oranges. g8 video!!
Thanks so much Hollis.
That looks awesome
Not quite was I was expect but it did turn out.
You are a fabulous teacher! Every aspect of mixing is covered! Thank you! Think I will be able to start after watching your video! I have been watching for days and didn’t know where to begin!!! Think I can make a go of it now. Once again…THANK YOU!! You have a new devoted student.!
You are so welcome! Start now, you'll learn the most by doing it yourself.
Great - you answered my question about ounces!
No problemo my friend.
Très très beau bravo😊 et merci encore ❤
Vous êtes trop gentil
Love this video. Thank you so much. I want to try but was scared of expenses. But now I can try starting small.❤
Go for it Carolyn.
Thank you. I'm a new fluid artist and I am teaching my kids as well. This was extremely helpful. ❤
You are so welcome Tiarrea.
I really like the tile
Thanks so much.
Great informative video. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome Katherine.
Love the apron masterpiece. Lol
Thank you so much. It definitely reminds me of where I started.
Blazing new trails! Newly sub'd due the great explanations. The painting at 50min, looks like a topography to me.🤠
Welcome to the Pouring Nation. Hopefully my videos continue to help you.
Great video, there were some stuff I didn't know and now I do. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I'll probably come back and watch this again when I get back to pouring. I have two or three different sizes of the screw hooks that I use, also have the big push pins too, along with the small ones.
Another awesome video, thanks.
Thanks Mary!
Thank you so much for explaining the reason for scraping off the drips. You are wise. I thoroughly enjoyed your video and appreciate the details in mixing, pouring, layering, etc. Great job!
Have you started yet?
OMG, David. I’ve been thinking about starting for a few weeks now. I want to start pouring! So this is what I need to hear. Thanks so much! Watching for second time.
You can do it Valerie. Let me know how it goes.
I also wish I had been taught by you two plus years ago. Thanks for showing beginners the ropes! ❤
Happy to help! let me know if you have more questions Eve. I am always looking for new ideas for videos.
love love love your instruction video. I've played with all the techniques and never really figured out why a couple issues were happening. This helped me a lot. Thank you so much for taking the time to express the why's and how-to's 💖
You are so welcome!
