There are so many different ways to do an acrylic pour swipe and most of them are hard to master. This is the easiest way I have found to do a swipe and get awesome cells and lacing.
Use code " LBA10 " and save 10% on your next Lolivefe order.

I remember being so mystified by silicone oil when I first started. I knew that it would make cells, but I never knew the particulars of HOW to use if effectively. This is such a helpful video, David. Really, really well done. 🐻

@LeftBrainedArtist
@LeftBrainedArtist 3 ай бұрын
I do not consider silicone a cell activator. The only time I really talk about cell activators are when we are talking about Sheleeart Blooms or Swipes. Otherwise I only call this an additive (silicone, hair serum, cocount oil, etc). That matter because you are going to be doing different things with cell activators and silicone oil. For silicone oil, I normally put the oil in the base colors and NOT the swipe color. You can do it the opposite way but I don't think it turns out as well.

All your clips are far more helpful than 90% of other clips. You are led to believe that Aussie floetrol is the secret cell activator. It isn't. I am a complete novice and need all the help I can get. There are some stunning art works out there, but none of their clips have been helpful to the point that I've gotten lacing or cells. Thank you. I'm from NZ, and there isn't anyone online in my neck of the woods doing what some of these amazing artists are doing. I only have US or UK to go off.

To me all you guys waste a lot of paint. 😱I know it's part of the process but I want to see exactly how you store your paint in cups without lids? Airtight? I've already spilled one on me trying to put rubberband over plastic wrap. Tin foil? All of you premix sometimes to reduce air bubbles. I want a video to watch you all clean up the mess 😂for real!!😊 You said no paint down sink right? These paints are soap and water wash.

I make new paint pretty much every video so I don't store lots of paints. I have been known to use old take-out containers for some of my base coats I make a lot of. I do have a few condiment squeeze bottles from Lolivefe that I use too. But they are a little more expensive. Small amounts of paints can be washed and put down the drain (teaspoon or less ish). Mostly I let it dry and peel it off the container and use it for jewelry or throw it away.

😄You always say, "LoLiVeFe" and the company goes by LoLiVeFe, but I can't help reading the logo as "LOVE LIFE" 😁

Haha, I had that conversation with the owner a few days ago about that exact thing.

Here's another question...how can I tell if house paint is too old? I found a gal of Colorplace antique white semi-gloss never opened in storage bedroom. Don't know how long ago I bought it. WHAT A FIND!!🤯 Before that I searched Walmart all out of stock. I called their corporate office to ask when?? They didn't know anything!! Guy I finally got was in India.😠 My son didn't know how to tell if old and he owns a Drywall & Painting Business! At least he got me floetrol but never used it himself. I didn't shake the paint. I opened and stirred long and gently.🤦‍♀️ Seems ok but had funny smell.🤷‍♀️Inside the lid was dry and kinda lumpy. I think it's like 8yrs old!! Didn't use it cause i got a slumlord! There's also a mystery gallon unopened too. Might be kilz?? Been asking folks if they have any old paint so I'll be experimenting with that. Got a lot of craft paint too. We'll see what happens. Doin it on the cheap for now but knowing me...I'll find something amazing for sure!!!😊😊😊

Shake it really good. Or take it walmart and just ask the paint counter to shake it. if it all integrates back together with no huge lumps it is still good.

Yeah, that is where that name came from. The owners daughter had a sweatshirt that said Love Life but was split up to say LoLi and then under nead that vefe which is where she got the name.
