    OMG! Of the hundreds of videos I've watched, you uniquely convey meaningful dialog. Taking nothing away from the abundant videos giving us visual instruction for paint pouring, your explanation has given me more help as a novice artist than anything else I've watched. Thank you. I just hope you are a teacher as your side hustle because if not, the profession is missing out on a great instructor!

    Hahah!! I’m not a teacher but I grew up in a family full of teachers. I ended up taking on a teaching role in my corporate job and I loved it! Now my goal is to bring understanding and confidence to those on their fluid art journey so others can find the same enjoyment in the practice of art as I have. Thank you for your kind words. You have encouraged me more than you know.

Just to make sure I understand what you’re saying, it’s best to pour opaque, transparent, opaque, transparent, etc. so the colors remain vibrant and bold, correct? Also, what’s the best way to determine the composition? Thank you in advance for your input!

    Just stumbled across your channel while scrolling KZread & the colors of your piece is what caught my eyes !! I absolutely LOVE Blues. I have been pouring for several years & enjoy many of the techniques out there. I have been a Sub of Olgas since I very first started & adore her & her work. I have learned countless "recipes" & have had sucess with each, & do not believe there is just any ONE "magical recipe mix" that is going to change anyone's ability to create beautiful artwork no matter the technique. However, as you pointed out, there are many very important tips to becoming more skilled. All of the tips you mentioned are all very important & will be extremely helpful to anyone who may be struggling or are just starting out. You created a great video & I noticed in the comments that MANY are very thankful to you for sharing these tips & you very kindly replied to the each , I also noticed that anyone who metioned Olgas class did not receive a reply & it just makes me curious as to why. I absolutely am not trying to imply anything negative , just simply curious just as I am curious as to why, after so many years of Olga being one of the very most popular, highly subbed to Channels that she decided to start charging her many many subs who helped greatly making her channel what it is today . Thank you for the great video 😊😊

    Thank you Becca, your dutch pours are very nice. I bought also Olgas course, the recipe is very well. It is a lot to learn and my paints will be better every time.

    Thanks for your detailed explanation. Last week, I used your link to take Soby 's class, very helpful! Soby does not mention much regarding opacity or transparency, but emphasizes a lot for the paint density. From your this video, I can tell you really want to help others who are struggling in fluid art.Very appreciated. Can you tell me more about each paint opacity or transparency you used in this piece please? Thanks for your attention.. Base (custom blue mix) - Soby Mix Group 2 ? Amsterdam Titanium White - Soby Mix Group 2 ? Pebeo Iridescent Blue Green - Soby Mix Group 1 ? Amsterdam Prussian Blue - Soby Mix Group 2 ?

    Yes, I was surprised that she didn’t mention it. I also noticed that Phthalo blue for Amsterdam and Liquitex have completely different opacities which is crazy to me, and will vastly change how I use them, so I thought it would be helpful to explain what I’ve learned through my own practice.

    Thanks for your reply. In this piece did you use all color paint opaque ? Base should be always opaque too ? @@beccaharkinsart
