Guess what...a ring pour...Dang I made so many different designs lately in this technique...I promise some more not ring poured is just waiting to be let free to the public so stay with me :D
In this video I also speak about varnishing a bit, my entirely dedicated varnishing video is still yet to come. But at least all the footage is filmed...

Had to write and let you know how much I'm enjoying your videos. You are concise, informative, entertaining with a great demeanor.Also appreciate that you are organized, don't waste my time and cover all the basics of the technique you're presenting. I was involved in education for a number of years and have recently taken up acrylic pouring in retirement. What FUN! I get to play with color, mix paint, explore styles and be creative while lacking any drawing, sketching skills. If you ever get to the Seattle area in the USA I hope you'll do a class or meet and greet in the area. Enjoy your art!

Hey Sharon, thank you so so much for your lovely comment, it really brightened my day :)) And I am just happy for you that you found acrylic pouring as your hobby...it is indeed so much fun and if you asked me 2 years back...I did not even think about ending up enjoying it...I do have a realism background and if you scroll through my videos you will encounter my portrait paintings as well but as I cannot show all of them (client's decisions...) and I so much enjoy the pours to relax myself from realism...there are so many pretty sweet projects already here. So if your time allows have a look around ;)) We are planning a US visit next summer but only for 3 weeks...and the US is sooooooo big....

@MKLGRMFineArt 5 жыл бұрын

yes resin is tricky, especially on canvases...totally agree. The varnish has its tricky parts as well but it is way easier to handle in my eyes when it just comes for a sealing of the artwork. The difference between gloss and ultra gloss is not tooooo large but if you can get the ultra, use the ultra :)

I apply Liquitex varnish using a damp car wash sponge (no sponge cells). As long as I add enough varnish to my sponge, and I use a delicate pressure and don't overwork each swipe, it looks great. I haven't been going for the resin look with the varnish, though.

@MKLGRMFineArt 5 жыл бұрын

Hallo Moni :)) Ja naja Resin hat wieder Vor- und Nachteile, vor allem bei Leinwänden. Gerade bei größeren macht das Gewicht vom Resin, dass sich alles in der Mitte sammelt und man an den Rändern dann Dellen hat, wo das Resin zu dünn war....Das ist dann ärgerlich. Aber man kann mit Resin wiederum andere tolle Sachen machen, was ein Varnish nicht kann....Aber auf jeden Fall ganz viel Spaß beim werkeln :) Schau doch mal mein Pendant making video an...Das wäre doch sicher was für Weihnachten zum verschken ;))

@amandasinclair6133 5 жыл бұрын

so sad that I missed your live chat but watching later. gina deluca uses a sponge covered in a pop sock (which is like nylon ladies tights, or pantyhose ) to apply thin even coats of gloss varnish- the pantyhose stops bubbles forming and prevents brush strokes showing and creates a nice smooth glaze finish. the covered sponge can be kept in a ziploc bag between coats so no brush cleaning required either.

Yay for bigger brushes!!!! I really like this, it reminds me of a planet (you could make a whole planet series!!!). I especially like the very blue areas with the striations of gold (but I'm a 'blue' person). I always like the gold leaf addition but I feel it needs more or some type of structure to really give it that OMG WOW factor. Your paintings are just always so pleasing to the eye. Question: Do you still do those painting challenges? They were fun.

Hmmmmm, a challenge? It would only be fair if I respond to a challenge as well, but while school is in session it's almost impossible. I've been thinking a lot about a Northern lights painting since I just took a vacation to see them ;) ...I really like the way you use gold leaf and I love the way you blend your colors. I bet lines made from your ring pours in different blue hues would look stunning as a northern-lights type of background with gold leaf trees in the foreground. I just may have to try that on my own before break starts! :)

Bei deiner Arbeit sieht man im Video, dass da auch noch feuchte Lackstreifen sind - hast du die noch entfernt, also verstrichen oder sind die beim trocknen weg gegangen? Ich habe mir schon sehr viele Bilder versaut 😢Kannst du mir bitte einen Tipp geben? 🤔 LG Anne

what do you have to do avoid getting cells ?

for one don't add silicone to the paints and make sure your pouring medium does not cause cells. Floetrol for example does create cells from itself. I then use acrylic binder as a pouring medium as it is more stable.

I would have loved it better if you opted for something (anything) that's blue in colour instead of the crumbled gold leaf. The gold colour got drowned by its similarly hued background. Something contrasting the gold colour is the way to go. Just to break the redundant pigment. U can hardly notice it's there. U gotta twirl the canvas first to actually realize it's presence in your art composition. Sorry, to be blunt. Just saying. I'm an artist, too. Please don't get me wrong. I love it still. It looks like a pair of gold angel wings.🙂

@MKLGRMFineArt 5 жыл бұрын

No worries, I was not offended :) I had nothing other-colored and working same as the gold leaf. Only silver leaf and that would not have worked at all....And I did not want to pour another color over it as well....But I am with you. It was not the best to do perhaps but I still like the result...And it reflects nicely when one walks by :)
