I never would have thought of the drawer liner but I adore the first swipe results you got with it… like rain… could be very useful in abstract. I appreciate the hell outta ya! 😊

I love more color. The liner and wet paper towel were my favorites. Thank you David.☮️💖🎶

David, I so love watching you! I learn every video! Thank you for YOU!!

All 4 swipe tools look great. Thanks for the comparison David. You rock 🤙🤙

Vielen lieben Dank für die tolle Erklärung 🙏. Es ist für mich sehr hilfreich gewesen! Meine Favoriten sind der Liner und das nasse Papier. Da kommen mehr Farben hervor. Nochmals Dankeschön und liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪. 🤗

I’ve found that a damp paper towel affords a much more uniform swipe than one that is truly wet. The added weight of the water actually gouges the swipe, hence why it looked so streaky. Another positive is that when you use a dampened paper towel, you can really see how it’s making contact with all of the colors in the swipe. That was helpful to me in the beginning. I like that red catalyst thing that you were using though. It distributed the weight very evenly! Another great video, David. Very informative and helpful, as always! 🐻

I like the liner and the wet swipe tool best. I love lots of color. The liners are also good to place under microwaves to keep them in place. works wonders! Cut small pieces and place each one under a leg. This has nothing to do with painting, but the information might come in handy❣Hey I'm older, I know things. LOL Thank you ,David. You are such a great inspiration. 👏

Thank you for this experiment. I’m with you. My favorites by far was #1 wet paper towel #2 shelf liner-love the lines it created. That’s so pretty, you could actually keep that one. 😉 Thanks for sharing ✌️💜😊

David, right on time! I'm doing good work exploring the techniques I see. I always come back to your earliest videos, i.e., 'what did David say about this....' Thank you, they're full of gold!!

David, once again thank you for doing these comparison videos. I've been meaning to tell you that I have come back to them numerous times to answer questions that come up from my many........"challenges." LOL Great stuff!

Great video! I like the results from the liner and the wet paper towel.

David, thank you for sharing this expirement! Great visuals. Very helpful.

Thank you for always doing these experiments. Wonderful training for those of us that are newbies.

Like the sideways & low camera angle! I could see exactly how thick & how the colors lie on top of base

Cool tutorial thank you. My favorite was the liner and the wet paper towel. Have a great weekend.

Thank you that was very helpful and because I'm having such a hard time with swipes I'm going to go watch your other videos

I love swipe and for me I'm not a fan of the papertowel. I prefer flexible tools that are bit heavier so I can apply more pressure without removing too much paint. Great video!🖌🙂💕👍

Thanks for sharing all the different swipes side by side! Great video! I don't care much for swipes, but the wet paper towel was my favorite effect from today. 👍

An incredibly useful video. So nice to see all the differences. I don't do many swipes but when I do I use the shelf liner. Now I see I made the right choice because I want the colours to show through. Thanks David.

Nice to see the different swipe material options side by side. They all have their unique effects for different outcomes. Thanks again for another great video!

I would never have done these tests myself. Thank you for doing them and adding so much information to my flow painting knowledge.

always appreciate your informative videos. Thank you!

Thanks for your time as always! I really like the effects of the liner and wet paper towel the best.

I actually like the liner

Brilliant demo as usual, thank you fpr uploading

Love your experimentation with acrylics!!! Just need to try electricity next and see if the pour comes alive

as always your painting "s are beautiful I love Swiping ‼️I find that a dry or damp paper towels work the best..I think it's a personal choice what works best..thank you again

I love the texture of the drawer liner and the " northern lights" effect from the wet paper towel

Great explanation… really shows the difference. Kim

Thank you 😁 I have learned a lot from your videos. Much appreciation 👍

Once again, a fantastic video!

Thanks for this video. This technique has been difficult for me. I like the effect that you got with the liner.

Great test video! I’ve never swiped with a drawer liner but I do really like that effect. I also liked your puddle test at the beginning…I almost find that one more useful than the drip test to know if one color will swallow another!

This video brings incredible value for me! Thank you for doing all these tests!

Thats a great tip ...,doing a drip test. Wow. You being left brain. Me being right brain dominate. I can see it all now. Haha. Thanks, love all your works. I totally appreaciate all your tips. Too

My favorite Way is a damp Paper towel..If my paint isn't all the exact consistency then I don't get all the colors in my swipe if I am doing a swipe I am going to stretch it I use a mound disappear for my base then all swiping color s are abit thicker point is the base coat needs to be able to move .. Another great vedio

I like the liner.

Thank you 🙏 for this experiment!! I like to use those plastic sheets that protect the canvas when you buy in bulk.I also use wet paper towels. I love the blue background! Beautiful color! What would happen if you used less white paint in the swipe with plastic! Maybe more color would pop up through the cells?

Very interesting and handy to know, thank u so much😊

That was a very helpful experiment. Thank you 🙂

This was a great example of swipe tools and thank you so very much for the channel mention. I hope you and your family are doing well David ❣️

Thnx for the great teachings as usual You rock

Thanks for this video, I use wet paper towel just because you rarely get a skip. Can't use cards or plastic at all, I love the look when they do ghost swipes with them but I just haven't mastered it yer. That liner looks like it might be fun though.

Thank you great information

I literally just walked out of the kitchen from doing a swipe. I put my swipe color onto the paper towel and dragged it over. It was OK but I had too much paint on my canvas so I swiped back over it again but from the other end of the canvas. That distributed the colors a little better.

Hi Left Sided Brain, could you please conduct an experiment using house paint. I specifically want to understand how a unstinted paint house paint thick and thin. I intend to use glue all with this pouring medium. Thanks Cath

Great experiment!

Vraiment très intéressant 👍

Thx for sharing 😊

I like wht shows out by using wet paper towel The one shown in the middle. I like the liner too. Love the cells. Prefer more blues. Im.having trouble for not getting cells

fabulous

Would have been cool if you did opposite out, so the plastic swip tool would have been on the ends.

Do you think the glue helped make the cells? LOVE your videos!

What a difference. I haven't done any swipes yet. I save all the fake cc from the offers I get for the possibility of doing a swipe.

Love this thank you. Are you getting the cells because of the torch?

Your cells are great not to have used silicone! I’m still playing around with what I like. I’ve found that when I use glue I have more cells, but the texture of my paintings is bumpy. And I don’t like that.

Have you ever tried swiping with a slightly damp chamois?

One demonstrator of blooms said she found more cells if she mixed the brands of paints and didn’t use all the same kind. Do you find this to be true?

Did you mix the pearl white with the artists loft white?

You sound like Tom green 💚

L9ve the comparisons. Thank you! It's interesting that the 2nd damp paper towel had a very different result. Why would that be? Was it the same one you already used?

This is off-topic, but do you plan to do any coasters and resin videos in the future? I'm trying to find out if I have to do anything with my silicone pours before applying the resin and I checked here first.

Thankyou David for another informative comparison video. I don't have a preference for any of the swipes as I believe they each have their place in their individual applications, although I was a bit disappointed that none of the copper showed through. Was this because it had a different density to the other colours?

What density did you use for your paint? Your drip test shows them the same, but you didn't use silicone, so how did you get cells? Thanks!

I've tried Swiping with different things and have never really been happy with the results I tried with credit cards, biz cards plain paper and that plastic "Canvas". Have you tried the wet paper towel one with it wet with rubbing alcohol instead of water? I was watching a channel called "Amanda's Designs" she did a swipe with a paper towel dampened with Rubbing Alcohol got some incredible cell's. you give up on the newsletter?

I get the best results using corrugated cardboard

Thank you great information
