What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that I had so harshly criticized myself about actually became true gifts as soon as I started saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly! I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.

this has to be the best tutorial video I've ever seen. very clear Instructions and you can clearly tell she's just loving it!

@queenofthebutterflies5212 5 жыл бұрын

I have been jumping out of my skin wanting to do this technique, even spent $250.00 on the pouring medium - that is how much I wanted to do this - and this was EXACTLY what I needed to see, the ratios and technique explained so that now I feel confident to begin. THANKYOU, you're a great teacher :-)

I just needed to tell you how much I enjoyed your video. Clear, concise and no repeats. Over the years I've watched hundreds of "How To" videos on hundreds of subjects. I am so grateful for those wishing to share their knowledge, but many of them turn a three minute video into 15-20 minutes with their useless jabber. They all need to learn from you the proper way to do a instructional video. You were so brilliant in your presentation that I needed to take the time to let you know how much it was appreciated. Good Job!

Thank you for all the clear information. I'm starting out and it is nice to see what someone else is doing for their mixing and pouring. I started my first pours over plastic and to prevent the canvas from fusing to the plastic I would place them (very carefully) on shot glasses. I recently figured out that I could put push pins in the four corners and prevent the fusing issues. Anyway, thanks again for sharing!!

What a lovely tutorial 😍💗💛💙😘 I work at Michael's and picked up my daughter a big pack of canvases prior to the quarantine. I asked her to save a few for me try doing a few dirty pours. I did 3 the other night with out having a mixing medium but improvised a bit I ended up with 3 that I love and one I'm not over found of. At least I can pour over it and it wont be wasted. Thanks for a beautiful to the point tut and your lovely smile. At the point of loss of human interaction I'm thrilled to find personable youtubers
