Gina, you were one of the first artists I watched, and I have come to love this style of art....so thank you. The consistency problem is something I have struggled with too, but your video Along with Tammy Anderson's video (on mixing all colours first, adding floetrol, at ratio of 1:2, then matching all colours to the thinnest paint consistency) have added a wealth of knowledge and at the same time simplicity in solving this issue. A thousand thank yous. Hope your music is going well for you. 😁💐

Thanks, Gina. This was really one of the most helpful videos I have watched. You covered so much from cell formation to consistancy of paint when pouring. Seeing the comparisons of showing paint viscosity at each level and explaining what viscosity for different techniques makes it easier to understand the hows and whys. I have been painting for years and have watched your videos for many months now as fluid art is new for me and exciting and very popular these days. I very rarely comment. I should and will more often as I respect and so appreciate the effort put in these videos. I will get the cards.

@MinaVillegasArt 4 жыл бұрын

Great video Gina! So helpful to be able to see the differences in consistency next to each other! Personally I like fat paint lol I'm a 4 or a 5 girl for consistency 😂 I do add Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish to my paint and Floetrol though. I like the dried finish of the pouring medium, and I love the fact that I don't have to varnish it afterwards unless I want to. I find I can still get cells by stretching the paint a lot.. Interestingly, my last few bottles of Floetrol have been super thin.. so to maintain the consistency that I like I've been adding it just a little at a time instead of my normal measured amount (so that's another variable in the equation, Floetrol consistency). Btw.. *your* happy accident led you down a path.. I LOVED that path! It was so exciting watching you, thinking about the science and formulas and consistencies (I was a mad scientist lol).. and then I finally did it myself and it was amazing... literally life changing. Thank you for opening up those doors and for sharing your art with us.. you are one of a kind Gina! ❤️

@GinaDeLuca 4 жыл бұрын

I’ve heard other people say their Floetrol was thin. I just got 2 gallons and they seem fine. I really shake the bejeezus out of it before I transfer to my smaller container. And yeah, everyone needs to find their own path and what they are most comfortable with. Sometimes I add other pouring mediums. Sometimes for no other reason than “why not?” The experiment is half the fun!

@Elitecruisesuk 4 жыл бұрын

Mina Villegas Art any particular type of varnish that you use when adding to your pouring medium please?

@MinaVillegasArt 4 жыл бұрын

@@Elitecruisesuk it's already mixed in there.. Liquitex Gloss Medium & Varnish. I don't add any additional varnish, just the LGM&V and paint and Floetrol.. if it's super thick paint then it's gets some water too.. When it dries it has a beautiful luster to it.. I don't usually feel like I need another coat of varnish on there.. but if I do I use Krylon UV resistant archival spray gloss.

Mina funny thing is, when Gina was talking about 4&5 I thought immediately of you and Sarah mack Lol. I was thinking in my head of each of my favorite artists when each number was demo'd. For 1-2 I thought of Mely D and Courtney Hoelscher (I might have spelled the last name wrong, sorry). Coz Creations (who I personally love and think is so under subscribed to) is right in the middle. Hell, I have so many faves, including the lovely Gina here, Lol.

This is the best explanation for consistency and techniques I have seen yet. It is brilliant and we are able to see the consistency good in your camera. Thank you for this. I have been watching videos for over a year now and have been struggling with too thin consistency. I also like the tip about a thicker base for a swipe. I had thought my base was too thin causing problems but most videos I watch have said ALL paints must be the same consistency. I am sure I will have better luck with using a thicker consistency for my swipes. I found my design would end up spreading out and thought it may have been from my base being so thin as well as my paints. Thanks again. I like that you explained what works for you is the best receive however, your explanation helps so much in this video. I appreciate it so much.

Best video on KZfaq regarding consistencies for acrylic pouring!!! THX SOOOO MUCH!! I’ve never found any other YT video telling what consistency works for which pour technique. I’m about to try consistency #3 for a flip cup. I hope my 60/40 - GlueAll/Water pouring medium works w/ this theory. I believe it will🤗 I will report back w/ results. EDIT: I finally did a triptych using 10” x 20” canvases that are wall worthy!! I’m so happy!! Thanks so much for this video. I used Floetrol as my p.m. and added water until i reached a #3 consistency. Maybe a 2.8. Colors were white (tiny bits), i alternated Monte Marte Old Gold and Deco Art 24K, Artists Loft Brilliant Blue, A.L. Aqua Green, and A.L. Light blue w/ a blob of Amsterdam Prussian Blue mixed in. I used 10 oz paint in my flip cup. I can’t remember if I layered by pouring down side of cup or gently layered on top of each other…darn it, I always try to keep my exact notes in my pour journal but for some dumb reason I didn’t write it down. I think I thought it turned out so well that I’d remember how I did it..rookie mistake😂 Question: what consistency is recommended for dirty pours?

@francinetompkins2158 4 жыл бұрын

Excellent video, as usual. I love your blend of art and science. It helps me understand WHY one of my pours worked or didn’t work. The almost endless combinations of pouring mediums and paint make for many happy accidents no matter how scientific we try to be-and that is a good thing isn’t it. 👏👏
