You must spend a small fortune on materials just to do tests and comparisons for us. We really appreciate your time and effort. We've learned soooo many great tips from yours (and other artists') videos, all for free. Much respect!

Thank you so much! I have taken advice to watch lots of KZfaq videos to educate myself and although I get lots of great tips, it's always yours I come back to!!! Love how generous you are with yr time and knowledge! Love from Western Australia x x x

lol My husband was listening too, and we cracked up you are quite the comedian. Love your work! :)

This was helpful. The first time I used a hairdryer I blew almost all the paint off canvas on to my wall. I’m standing there like the twilight one or something.i put a plastic tablecloth up on my wall after that. You jus have to practice-experiment to learn. It’s so fun. I love your work and Tammys’s and bunch of ithers

I love your videos. You make me laugh. I love that you do everything on here. You are surprised as much as we are. Lol. Don’t ever change.

Your so funny. I was laughing with you. Great demonstration! Loved it

This is such a helpful video - thank you! Given me fresh courage to try again!!

Thank you for showing how to use the dryer to move the paint. I'm now going to try again. Enjoy your work.🦋🦋😍😍😍🌝😃

Thank you for this. I was just asking about hair dryers, lol

Great experiment thank you!! I have two different hairdryers to experiment with, woot!

Love listening to you and love your work.

I love your colour combinations! I'm new to pouring and this was a super helpful video, especially some of the tips on paint consistency and combinations. Thank you for the inspiration! :D

Thanks for this wonderful sharing😃👍👍👍👏👏🌹

Beautiful result! Yikes on the melting nozzle!!! 😳 cracked up on the Tammy Anderson moment comment!!! Lol she is hilarious!!!

If testing a dryer it seems like the same colors should be used. That would be taking a variable out of the equation. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the video. Thank you for being willing to give your time to teach 💜.

Thank you for the silicone mat recommendation! I just placed my order, used your promo code, and saved $5! Yay!!!

Thanks for this video. I'm struggling with this method but I keep trying. I think it's my paint consistency. I will keep trying. I'm determined to learn. I love this method.

THANK YOU for this valuable information! ❤️

OMG, you are an absolute riot! You are also a fantastic teacher. Love your work. I'm an artist, but have never done acrylic pours of any kind and am beginning it this week. I appreciate your efforts. :)

Amazing I can tell the blue painting was done with the hairdryer you are used to using. It turned out beautifully. They all turned out well. I think I like the green one the best. I definitely liked that combination of colors the best.

Love the green and bronze, looks like a flower or a sea creature.

❤ Beautiful art. Fascinating to actually see the difference the blow dryers’ wattage.

Wonderful!! Have to say ... it helps me when I see pros have issues - like melted hairdryer piece!! Helps me be less fearful of trying something new. (I’m a musician - used to teach my kids how to recover from mistakes .., and they loved when I made a mistake!) 👍👍

I’m Greek also! I am enjoying your videos! New to paint pouring with a couple of months under my belt. As the old Greek ladies used to say to me, you Koukla! ❤️

I'm loving your plaid pajama pants! Very helpful and informative, thank you very much! Oh and thank Tammy for sending me over here to check you out.😁

Very useful, loved the blue one.

I had to go back and watch everything a couple of times and it didn’t seem to be a big difference in the distance Of the dryer but the position you were holding it. I have decided this is my problem but find I’m having a hard time just relaxing and allowing it to happen!! Thank you so so much for the experiment as it sure does demonstrate it’s the artist, the positioning, and just relaxing and allowing the dryer to do it’s job. Your work is amazing to say the very least!

Thanks for this excellent demonstration. I am still learning, and this has really been helpful.

This is the first video I've seen of yours... you are absolutely hysterical and I'm totally sold! Love the paintings!

Thank you for the experiment. This video was so helpful. I started to do acrylic pour recently and had a hard time with hair dryer. The hair dryer I bought for Dutch pour was too powerful and could not control. Now I have been trying to get one with a weak power with a temperature setting (don't know why but I thought cool air is a must) and after I looked this video, I learned that the power and cold or hot air don't matter.

I’ve learned so much from your videos and I just found you yesterday. I’ve only been pouring for 2 weeks and have managed to finally do a couple of successful Dutch pours using your recipe and techniques. Kudos and thanks from your fellow Ontario peeps. 😁

Too funny! I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for your expertise!

Hi. I am trying my first blow dryer painting. Waiting for Amazon to deliver my stuff. Thankyou so much for sharing your video. It was very helpful. I just hope I don’t blow the room away. I love how the colors worked together. The pictures are beautiful.

Thank you- I want to do a Dutch pour so much- angle/height from canvas/ heat setting/ speed of hair dryer- lot to know and practice- a great lesson and fun to watch- I love all 3. But middle my absolute favorite because of the colors-

I used to use a generic blowdryer with a toilet paper roll that i made into a concentrator... The dryer has nothing to do with it. Im so glad you did this!

Thank you for sharing. This is going to be my first try. So wish me luck!

Yes, very helpful. Thank you. The first time I tried blowing with the dryer I also sprayed paint over the table, the chairs, the floor and the walls of my dining room 🤦‍♀️🙆‍♀️. I discovered acrylic paint is difficult to get off painted walls 😂

I've had so much trouble you have saved me

The middle one looks like a butterfly. Oh, I get all my hair dryers at yard sales for 50 cents or a dollar. Ooh, the last one is pretty. Those colors are great together maybe even with a pop of pink or purple with it too. I can’t wait to see the magnets video. Looking forward to your next videos. I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe where you are. ❤️ Have a good day! Thank You 😊

That was crazy insane that your attachment melted 😳, I was like What.... all 3 pieces turned out beautiful. I love the colors! Thank you so much for this video, I was just thinking about different dryers.

Hello. Thank you, you certainly answer my inner question about temperature in hair dryer. Thank you for being so generous tutoring . Lovely pouring. Ivonne, from Costa Rica in Central America

Thank you dear!! Got a new blow-dryer, and it's blowing all the paint off, making mud and sprayed my toaster and white curtains. Haha, glad you did this, cuz your thing melted! I need practice. Just wanted to thank you, was using cold. 😂🎵♥️🇺🇲✝️🙋

Thanks for all your videos & tips..Very helpful & informative❤️

Always enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing this

Great to see. Always something to learn from you!!!

Thank you, great information, Pat Pelfrey

Always loved watching your videos .. love all 3 pieces and your laughter

Very interesting experiment! I love the blue one in particular. Juno and Bailey are such fun to watch!

the second dryer has a shorter tube, the third has a longer tube (the part where the air comes out). That does make a difference also. Also my dryer I use is over 30 yrs old (Vidal Sassoon Quiet 1600 - bought in high school - just had a 30 yr reunion lol) and I lost the concentrator years ago so made my own with tape and cardboard and it works good for me.

I have become obsessed with trying different blow dryers and this is what I have found. As far as moving the paint around I agree that consistency of the paint is the key but the shape of your design is also impacted by aerodynamics, so motor power/performance/ watts, the neck (long/short, shape of grill inside), the concentrator nozzle and how you move the dryer also has an impact. When I test dryers, I just move them in a straight line to remain as consistent as possible in the movement. Motors - A more powerful motor can blow paint off the canvas even if you are not too close. I have an eGO1200 Watt (produces 1000 Watts in U.S.) that came with a rounder & wider concentrator and it can’t blow water much less paint but that same concentrator on my Conair 1600-Watt Infiniti Mini produces a very nice shape, much better than the narrower angled concentrator that it came with. I have 2 Conair 1875-Watt dryers, Salon Performance (orange) & Ceramic Tech Motor Pro (blk). The Salon Performance blows significantly less down the middle causing the shape to split in two at the end. When I looked down the nozzle, the inside grill is only split into 4 sections with a significant round obstruction in the middle causing the air to blow around it therefore spitting the shape in two. The Ceramic Tech’s grill is spit into 6 sections without the obstruction to split the shape, so I prefer this one. I too was also shocked at how weak your 1875 Watt sounded so I did some Googling. Apparently motor performance matters too, no matter what the Watts are. The motor on your 1875 Watt produces a weaker air flow that still allowed for good control of shaping. Most likely if you used a newer 1875 Watt in that same brand the motor performance would have improved over 10+ yrs. so you would have blown the paint off the canvas as you expected. Most of the newer models also have more narrow necks and concentrators so as to deliver a more powerful air flow for drying hair. Concentrators - I usually prefer one that is more rounded and curves inward instead of flaring out. When I move to really big canvases the flared concentrator possibly would work better. I really love the big canvases. I have a blank 36” x 48” hanging on my wall as inspiration but I’m not there yet. If you are new like me to fluid art, I suggest playing around with different hair dryers because as a tool it is important. At first, I was buying them online but now I mostly just stop at thrift stores when I happen to see one. I could go on and on but this is already too long. Do a little Googling on aerodynamics and that might help with understanding the dryer you are using. As a beginner I can only pray that the longer I work at it the better my paintings will be but I think I will run out of wall space before I produce a more Kanella or Rinske like painting.😂

I have just started Acrylic Pour painting. On my second go with my hair dryer I got paint in it and nearly set fire to it!. Helpful video, thanks

Thanks for the experimenting!! All turned out gorgeous!!! That Juno is one happy dog!! He is gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing lisa

I think the blue one is the prettiest I love all three but the blue ones my favorite

Great video , thank you.....and love your dogs !!! They really have fun together !!!

Thank you for showing about the hair dryer it was very helpful

You made my evening with this hairdryer test. Not so much the experiment itself which was interesting, but by listening to the amount of joy, you get from what you do🤗🤗🤗👏. All gorgeous colours.

This was awesome to see. Thank you for pointing out the difference you encountered and the Why and why nots.

These colors are all super beautiful

Great video!!!!🤣🤣 I see an angel in the purple pink one. All 3 are beautiful!!!

Excellent tutorial Kanella. Gees, that is worrying about the melting, thank goodness you took it off! Those paintings are beautiful. Of course the green is my fave. Yes! I remember Tammy's video of that, nearly fell off the bed laughing. 🤣 look forward to seeing the magnets. Awww, a puppy party!

Well that was fun!

Thanks for the video, this was very helpful. I love all of your paintings, you have the touch for sure.

Jesus kanella just face it man.....you are a queen of Dutch pours

Great experiment Kanella ! You really proved your point. Thanks for another wonderful video helping many artists.

Love the art, love the dogs!

Thanks so much for this tutorial, I have been struggling with my blow outs!

You have a wonderful personality, always enjoy watching. Your art, as always is beautiful!

Labella everything you touch turns to gold. I love them all.

I absolutely LOVE the middle one best!

This is too stinkin' funny.lol Oh my goodness I about fell on the floor when you showed us the attachment gone wonkers .ahah I can't stop laughing for the life of me. And I did see Tammy's vid also when her paint went flying. you Gals are just too much.Aside from that , all three of your paintings turned out lovely. The doggie clip also was an added treat. So much fun mommy to play. I'm lovin' it Kanella.

Thank you for this video. I really needed to learn this. 😍

Three hair dryers three beautiful painting's. Thank you for joining my channel and your comments, Kanella means so much to me.

Thanks for the tip about holding the dryer upside down. I never thought to try that.

This video was much needed I was wondering if I needed a specific dryer and then high/ warm- hot. So I figured out my issue. Thank You

I like all of them

I’m glad this showed up. I thought it was my hair dryer, but must be the thickness of my paint.

Thank you so much for your lessons!

Thanks for the hairdryer comparisons Sorry about the melting of the dryer. I'm glad you referred to acrylic skins because I hate unnecessary waste. I loved two of the large puddles that built op on your silicone mat in this video and kept waiting to see what you would do with the design to preserve them for an acrylic skin project. I plan to watch your video about skins. I worked in the craft industry about 30 years, all different kinds of crafts.The majority of it was for Tulip dimensional paint. I was crafts person and you are Art. Side giggle. I Do remember the ground breaking premier of Mod Podge and it's evolutionary uses. Yes I'm old. But I digress as most old people do. I hope you did something with those two large puddles of paint. I have to confess that I've never done a pour yet. I have collected most of the basic materials and have spent many hours watching all kinds of artists and their thanks for letting me reminisce. I guess it's time to put up or shut up. Acryli poring will be joining 1 more of my way too many endevers and half finish projects. Right now i'm trying to learn 4 other areas trying various other creative talents. I love your art.

I just love watching your videos! You always explain everything clearly and you’re hilarious! My fave is the green because it is one of my fave colors but, the blue was beautiful, too!! Yes, please, please teach us a little Greek! That would be amazing! I love all things Greek, the stunningly gorgeous scenery, the beautiful people and awesome Greek family values! You’re my favorite youtube channels, hands down!! Thank you for yet another great video!!

Thanks so much for this video; I'm a beginner to paint pouring and just love it! I actually converted one of my bathrooms into a little studio, yay!

Thank you for doing this video! I’m super excited now to try this technique again! All three are beautiful too!

I actually like the one you didn't like, like them all, in fact. You totally proved your point! Very interesting video, thank you.

Like them all - I will need to practice Thank You

Fantastic video of blow dryers, two thumbs up for some lessons in learning Greek.

Thank you very much for all that information ❤️

This is actually fantastic!! I always wanted to try this and now I know exactly how to pour the paint and how much in . I didn’t want to waste all my paint .

Whoa! I can’t believe the attachment had melted! That’s sorta scary! Beautiful outcome as usual 💕

Hi Kanella! Thank you for showing this to us! And continue to tell us about your paint consistency! I'm learning so very much from you, I appreciate you so much for this! Thank you beautiful! Sending positive vibes your way. Peace love dream's 🇨🇦! 💞🌐📷📽️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯🌅🌍💙🌎💜🌏🌄🕊️💕🌌😉

Kanella this was funny! I went through a similar issue with changing hair dryers! 🤣 Anyway, my problem back when I first started was, my hair dryer came with a wide mouth attachment and as a result I ended up with blobs of paint, well, everywhere! I finally got a narrow mouth attachment and I was off and running. Also the great thing about the dryer I have, it has an in between setting. I can keep it on low and hit the “cool” button to give it a little more blow power without setting it on high. I love my dryer and I think I might go into a deep depression if anything ever happens to it! 😬🙄🤣 Great demonstration! ❤️

AWESOME STUFF...LOVE THE COLORS.. TRY TILTING THEM JUST A BIT .WILL STRETCH THE CELLS AND MOVE THE COMPOSITION DOWN A WEE BIT WITH THE STRETCH ...JUST GORGEOUS THOOO. LOVE THEM..🥰

Wonderful experiment! Very helpful..Thank you so much

Took me a long time to see the triangle too but now I’m glad I did if it’s the right triangle maybe you should make a sign with your blow dryer this is the truck triangle LOL you’re great and keep a keep watching you always did always will

The one I have the paint don’t really move! I mix them all the same as you and I’m thinking I need a new hair dryer. Your paintings are ALWAYS beautiful! Very well done.

I like the thin purple one. Fanned out great

Love this experiment. My pours haven’t been working.. so I’m going to keep trying.

I’m excited to watch your video for making magnet pieces. I’m getting ready for Christmas. 🎄

I see you love Greece!! Love n kisses from Corfu!! Stay safe n continue your awesome work 🥰

Wow thank you for sharing it was truely Brilliant.

I finally see what I was doing wrong. I haven’t seen this in any other video except for yours . You cover the lines up with white paint and then blow it out. Thanks

I have a dimmer in between, that I can control how hard it blows, my son got that idea working very well. I love your paintings
