I honestly can not tell you how many times I’ve come back and watched this video as a reference guide when mixing my Dutch pour paints!! 🤗💕

Erica, don't be sorry for how long this video is. I'm new to this type of art and you're helping me more than you can imagine. Please keep posting mixing videos as they help so much when someone like me needs and is trying to create this type of artwork. Thank you so much for posting this wonderful tutorial video. 💖

Erica, thank you for continuing to share your recipes. Many of the fluid artists that I watched in the past have taken their recipes off of their channels. I’ve been painting for a couple of years now but started to have issues my pm mediums. Thought I would revisit my subscriptions. Finally, you still had yours up. I love your art and truly appreciate you. ❤️❤️❤️

Je débute dans le fluide et je culpabilsais de ne pas faire de mesures exactes pour chaque couleurs..... vous m'avez fais du bien !! je ne culpabilise plus. Merci de partager votre talent aussi !! Bravo !!!!

I’m very glad to see your base, I’ve never used that much paint for a base, so this is interesting. I use 4 heavy scoops of liquitex a nearly the same Flo, and water.

Erica, this was probably the best dutch pour paint mixing videos that I've watched. Each time yo showed the colour, it was crystal clear! You shouldn't be sorry for not having a set formula because people need to realize that it does not work for every colour due to the weight of the paint. The way you taught us is the best way and people need to gauge for themselves as they do it. Besides, it's frustrating as hell to measure everything. That's too much of a hassle. I love mixing my own customized colours like you did with the blue. In fact my favourite combo is blue and black. Such a beautiful colour to work with. Thank you.

I am just loving your art. You're easy to follow. Had a very small suggestion.. I sometimes will cut off just the round end of the stir stick. That way, it gets all the paint off the bottom. Kelly from ontario, canada

That is such a good idea mixing the pigments like that I usually put my gel in the cup and then the pigment and slowly mix it in and then get the lumps out Etc that is a great way of doing it thanks for sharing that it is so appreciated and a Time Saver. Once again thanks for this whole video on mixing I know it's helped me and I'm sure it's helped a whole lot of others. Have a great day...

Erica thank you so much for doing this how you mix your paints cuz I've had a big issue with a large canvas on the consistency of my face paint. And your video didn't have a number on it where you did two straight pores using several homemade colors like mint green turquoise phthalo blue now that was a bowl sorry this one here has magenta and primary copper and Persian blue I absolutely adore that painting it is just so stunning I love it. As all your videos your art speaks for itself it's amazing. Enjoy every minute watching you create the beautiful art that you do. I'm still curious about what size canvas you used on that double straight pour. Kudos to you and I'll be watching.😉🤩🥳👍👏👏🤲🙏🙏✌✌✌✌
