Thanks Marc. It does take a lot of time but what helps me helps my viewers also so it's time well spent.

@@LeftBrainedArtist Even saying, "didn't even come close" doesn't even come close. This, literally, is the first video I've seen, where it looks like the creator actually understands himself, why it happens, and how to customize your cup to your specific needs.

@@waskelweewabbit1453 watch his science of pouring video. You'll love it.

@@userMarinainCol He's good at explaining the chemical reactions & weight responses of paint and additives, but I unsubscribed just yesterday, because his actual skills are pretty bad. lol I mean, he's got the brain for it, but his hands don't do what his brain tells him to do.

@@waskelweewabbit1453 he loves his experiments, so his "work" isn't what it could be, true. Experiments don't always reflect the actual talent. And maybe his talent is just what he is doing. Explaining things so we all can be the best we can be at wha we plan on doing. He has the brain and talent to explain these complicated theories so we can understand and do better. I thank him for that, because I sure don't have the brain to figure it all out on my own. come back and visit sometime.

Yellow is also tricky because a lot of yellows are transparent which makes them disappear even more. You can try mixing in some titanium white (just a bit) to help them be a bit more opaque too.

Maybe one day they will take notice of me Tri.

As always Marcey, you are more than welcome. Lava lamps are doing the same thing we want to do as acrylic pour artists just in a more pronounced way and using air and heat to facilitate breaking up surface tension and buoyancy.

More to come for sure Daisy

Glad to help. The paint also has a ton to do with this as the ingredients (fillers, pigments, acrylic polymers).

Thanks Annie. My mother was a teacher so I am sure some of her mannerism rubbed off on me.

That makes sense. Your Mom should be proud! I'm about to do my first pour ever and your tutorials are a huge help, already! TNX!

Thanks Carolyn. I really appreciate that.

Thanks Shova. I appreciate the compliment. Sometimes we just need a different perspective on how things work with acrylic pouring.

Glad to hear that Lotteliese. Thanks for watching and the sub.

Thanks Louise. Glad my ramblings are helpful.

He is. I've learned so much from his videos, and I'm always telling others to make sure to check him out, and I hope that if they do they also subscribe

Wow, thank you Christine. Ya'll are just too kind!

Agreed!

Glad it was helpful Jessie. Just little things you don't think about until someone points it out.

Thanks Dawn. That is a huge compliment. Love Bill Nyes.

Great to hear Heidi.

I totally agree! And I want to paint out to anyone that reads this that you CAN do pouring. Some people it comes more naturally but you can totally learn, and I think that learning is much easier than traditional drawing or painting. At least that is by far the case for me.

Oh, I'm right on board here! This is an intellectual type of art, which I once heard referred to as "post-modern cellism!" I'm into quantum mechanics. Every aspect of this style brings my world into better focus while pondering the endless possibilities.

Glad to help. Please ask any questions you have that aren't covered. I am always looking for new video ideas and also love to help.

I'm so glad Glenda. Thanks!

I appreciate that Hazel. Glad to help.

Thanks for watching Kathy. Glad my left brain approach to acrylic pouring is helpful to others too. This vides teach me so much also that they are the perfect win-win.

I'm so glad Charlotte. Fluid dynamics isn't taught in very many places at all unless you are doing engineering.

Thanks for watching Marie. One day I'll have to come visit again.

@@LeftBrainedArtist Hi David, let’s hope that visit won’t be too far in the future. We count ourselves pretty lucky in Australia. With our fast response to Covid 19 we have managed to have only a few deaths. Being on a large island has certainly helped.😀 Unfortunately, the Delta variant has arrived and Sydney is in lockdown at the moment. People have got blasé and are not following restrictions. They get a shock being hit with $1000 fines which does send a message. Sad that money still means more than health to some. Keep safe, Cheers Marie ‘downunder’ 👍

Any time Joyce. Learning is a lifelong pursuit so I'm glad to help out a tiny bit for you along the way.

You are very welcome Kim. Glad to be of service. Today's video was about this also. Not sure if you watched it before coming here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ld52hZmjlcWyc30.html

Thanks again Veni.

My pleasure RJ. Glad you enjoy them.

I can totally understand that.

Gracias Ana Maria. I hoped other people would learn the same way I do with these videos.

You are more than welcome Luke. I am so glad it was helpful.

Glad to hear it!

My pleasure as always Margie.

Glad it was helpful Carol. Totally the 2nd most important thing about acrylic pouring in my mind besides consistency.

I can feel that 100%. I still haven't even come close to master the bloom or Dutch pour techniques but ever pour gets me closer. Good luck Heather.

@@LeftBrainedArtist Well my bf & I both love your channel & think you're awesome!!!

You're welcome!

Glad it was helpful Debra.

Awesome! Thank you Adeline. Glad to help.

Thanks Heather. That is really nice to hear.

Excellent. Seems we are alike in that way. The WHY is so important.

My pleasure!

I am with you 100% Lyn. That is the real reason I started this channel.

@@LeftBrainedArtist so glad you did! Maybe you have an easy answer to another problem I can’t yet resolve. Using artist’s loft white and water base paint and tube colours/water colour paints and Dutch pour technique on both canvas and tiles, the white gradually creeps over the colours, leaving little patches of colour. I’m getting loads of lacing and cells. Consistency is the same for all mixes and runny enough to blow out with mouth or hairdryer. I’m happy to keep wasting paint but if you can suggest a solution it’ll save me time and materials. Maybe the white should be a little less viscous ( thin and thick are such ambiguous terms in fluid art)? The problem was even worse when I mixed in Floetrol

You're very welcome Michelle.

Wow, thank you Linda. My mother was a teacher for decades. She'd be glad to hear that some rubbed off on me.

I know right? I love it.

You're very welcome Carol. Glad I could help.

You are so welcome!

Those picture/video really do equal a thousand words for sure Barbara. Thanks for watching as always.

Happy to help Bonnie. Glad it was useful.

Glad you enjoy it! I do love to get in to the nitty gritty for sure.

Wow. That is a great compliment Jodie. TYVM.

You're very welcome! Glad I am not the only one that thinks this way about acrylic pouring.

You are so welcome! Thanks for the message.

Thank you Vesna! 😃 Thanks for watching too.

Thank you so much Tri 😀

You are so welcome! Thing like this fascinate me.

My pleasure Barbara.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks again Judith.

Glad it was helpful Linda. Good luck on your next pours.

Happy to help Kimberly

Thanks Gee. So interesting how the science of pouring works.

@@LeftBrainedArtist I wanna hit you up about something cool - could I contact you somewhere?

@@GeePours Yup. Email address here leftbrainedartist.com/contact/ Sorry I don't want to put the email in the comments cause the bots get them and I get a bunch of spam.

@@LeftBrainedArtist oh for sure dont do that! Cheers man will be in touch 😊

My pleasure Norma. Glad to help out!

You're very welcome Maddalena. Glad to help.

My pleasure Marnie. Thanks for watching.

You're so welcome Jana. Definitely one of the key things to understand with acrylic paint pouring.

Glad it was helpful!

You're so welcome Denise.

Thanks Tammy. For the compliment and the love.

Definitely do it. So important to understand Kim.

Glad it was helpful Lesley. They is what I enjoy also.

@@LeftBrainedArtist I’ve already been through my paints and worked out their numbers. Not sure how you assess when they have mixed pigments, one high and one low, when white is added for example. I would imagine the percentage of the white is low, if it has just made the colour lighter, would you go for the lower number then?

@@ladygwarth They are generally listed based on the quantity so the first one has the most and the last one has the least. If the first one is transparent and the last one is opaque and move it slightly up from transparent to semi transparent

@@LeftBrainedArtist OK thanks, that’s really interesting as the white is generally mentioned first.

I appreciate that a lot Cindi. Glad to be of service.

Glad it was helpful for you!

Awesome my friend. Glad to be of service.

Thank you David- I’m brand new at this and you are most helpful!! Please, keep the info coming 🎨

YES!!!!!

You are welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the tip and for watching.

You're very welcome Alicia. Good luck.

No problem at all. This stuff fascinates me.

Great to hear Macska. Thanks for joining us.

Thanks Jean!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it Holly. Happy to help.

You are very welcome Eileen. I hope it helps.

My pleasure Denise. Have a good rest of your weekend!

Luckily, fails are the best lessons learned. You've got this Louise.

It was my pleasure. I love your Lion's Mane painting BTW.

@@LeftBrainedArtist Thank you :-).

Glad it was helpful Kathleen.

Glad to help Nina.

You are welcome Tricia. Hope it was useful.

Glad it was helpful! I am trying to include international producst I see other artist's using as I can. Not the easiest when I can't use them for myself here in the US.

@@LeftBrainedArtist Yes of course, I can't always get stuff from the UK since Brexit... and its a bit hard to ask your friends to stick a litre of paint in their luggage. However I will love to hear anything you have to offer!! thanks again

Always a pleasure to help Nella.

You are so welcome! Glad to help.

I completely agree. Watching what happens with the paint and what to look for is so important. Thanks for watching again Consuelo.

You are so welcome Carol. I blame my teacher's chop on my mom. She was an HS English teacher for decades.

Un placer Graciela. Gracias por ver me canal.

Aww - TYVM my friend.

I'm so glad to help Robin.

My pleasure Victoria. Hope it helps your future pours.

You bet Ronaye. Glad you enjoyed it.

My pleasure. Always glad to help.

You're welcome Kathy.

Thanks. Glad to help.
