Ditto!

You can also add water to your paint mixes - do about 50% paint, 30% floetral and then add water so it's a thinner consistency , and more black so the colors can blow over it - love these projects that you do together :) Resin over the top when they are completely dry (and after cleaning off the silicone) will bring all the colors back beautifully. You are definitely artists.

Thanks Lisa, we will give it another go 😊

It was so fun to watch you work together on this project! Each painting has its own character and beauty. With each try you loosened up a bit and the creativity really got going! Thank you for this great video! 🎨

You can get canvas that has been pre-coated in gesso (the sort of primer you want for canvas) for painting or whatever else you intend to do to it and I'm pretty sure that's what you have because it didn't soak through. Gesso basically gives you a surface on top of the fabric so your liquid material doesn't soak down into the fibers out of sight. Acrylic paint is a form of polymer just like resin is, and it does need the canvas to be primered first.

First and foremost I think it looks like you were having a blast. You both seem to work very well together. The one with the blues and whites I can see skulls with like green and yellow ghostly flames. The others when you hold them up there's so many different things I could see in them throughout, they really come out awesome that was an excellent job you did. Keep coming up with a good ideas. 👍👍👍

I love the fact that is not just me who struggled with the first pouring 😅 Awesome paintings and thanks for the video.

That last one with the blues and greens, the center section on the left there is a white cell on the edge that looks like a face. I love it!

Omg amazing!! And I would like to thank the Patron subscribers also, I don't have the extra $ to support Ben and I'm thankful you do so he can entertain us week after week, thank you 🙏🏼

To be honest, you are artists as I see it. You make wonderful things to look at and enjoy. Those eggs and illusion spheres and other items that you make ARE art. Those acrylic pictures are wonderful! I might try something like that with fluorescent and glow in the dark paints.

Great work on the pictures you two. There is a woman on youtube that does these flow paintings, but her specialty is flowers. The way she does it is the layers circles on top of each other in a round pattern using as much as 6 colours in each layered circle. Once done, the wets a napkin with water, and gently places it on top of the art. She then lifts the corners of the napkin to meet in her hand in the middle and when all corners are gathered she lifts the napkin off the canvas. This technique pulls the petals of the flowers inwards to the center. She then lifts the canvas up and moves it around allowing the paint to flow so it gets into the corners. The paintings turn out really nice but she does use a LOT of paint. When she is happy with the positioning of the paint she runs a blow torch over the surface quickly… and when the paint drys overnight, the flow continues until dried… so the result is a surprise.

For the first time ever, I could "read" a video Very interesting techinique, I can imagine the beautiful flowers she makes!

Wow. Ben's one with just watered down paint looks like actual fire. I love them.

Loved they way you guys work together. If my wife and I did that, then within 5 minutes I would have been wearing the paint, and the canvas. Enjoyed the learning and discovery aspect. Please keep the videos coming. Much love and respect to you both.

Was great seeing the experimentation process which allowed you to create some absolute masterpieces! You’ve inspired me to give it a go!

I love the last one 😍. It's great watching the two of you together and doing the new things! Thanks for sharing 😊

I'm a sucker for blue, so the last one is my favorite, but all of them were so cool in their own right!

This was such a fun video. I loved seeing the entire journey. Thanks Ben!

🤣🤣🤣 Im like 1:01 in and I almost Got killed 🤣 43+ min ❤️😜 Aussies ARE crazy !!!

Love watching you all work together. She is ADORABLE! ❤

I loved all of the paintings and the new hair cut looks good too, Ben! It's great watching you two do projects together too!❤😂

I think they all came out amazing in their own rights. My youngest daughter Aurora totally agrees with what you named the last one. 🙂👍

There are so many cool images in your pours! Hubby and I saw dragons, a snake wearing sunglasses, lots of cool smoke, and flames. Definitely a cool project with fun results!

Those are great!! Also I agree with Nicole on the mullet and the licorice!

They all turned out great in the end and looks like your technique got better. Hope you do more of these paintings. I wonder if color shift or sparkle powder mixed in white or light colored paint would work. I wonder if the color dulled because you put them in the sun to dry or if it was just the nature of the paint while drying. 🤔 That last one was definitely awesome looking, but I think my favorite was the middle ones that really looked like fire flames. Please keep practicing and please share more of your work. ❤️ from 🇺🇸

Makes me want to try that as well. All of them are great. All are works of art and unique. The one with the additional colors is very cool.

What a cool wall mural that would make with all the pictures arranged.

My favorite is the painting at 40:30. It looks like fire! 🔥

That was awsome, loved seeing you two doing this. I think I'm going to try it. They were All Beautiful

So many different types of pours you can do! Dirty cup pour, flip cup, pour then spin or tilt, so many things you can try!

I loved watching you and Nicole experimenting with something new. Trail and error is always the way to learn. The canvases all turned out great! My favorite is the last one also. So beautiful ❤️! 😊💜

Hi Ben & Nicole, I love them all. As you went on they got brighter. It's like miles in space the 1st few and to the end it was looking close in space to the aurora. Beautiful. Hope this waffling makes sense. Have a great weekend.

As a fluid artist, this was so entertaining 😁. You made me smile. Great effort guys. My personal fav was the firey V.

That was a fun watch! I liked the last few best!

Ben, if Nicole loves licorice, you should get her the candy called Good & Plenty. It is candy here in the United States that is a shelled black licorice that looks like a pill. A favorite of mine. The last one 😲 simply stunning.

Awesome!!! I think they have a deep space feel.

Great video and all of the paint pours look amazing, its hard to pick a favorite one, so I'll say the last 3 revealed are my favorites. Really enjoying the colab videos Ben and Nicole

I like how the two of you work so well together. My husband would have been having a fit if it didn’t look or go the way he wanted. He can be very high strung. The pictures turned out interesting. I think the thinner the paint the better they looked and you were able to move the paint around easier. Well done.

Love the last one so nice colors. Also try adding some gold or silver. Try adding all colors to 1 painting.

Amazing stuff and yeah the last one is my favourite.

You two did amazing. I love them all. In 2016 i bought everything to make paint pours. I had an accident and have Traumatic brain injury. I still want to do the pours but something is holding me back. I would love to see more videos of you two together. 💜

Another awesome video. What a fun art video. 😎👍

That was fun! I don't have a favorite, they all looked great!

I've had my nephews try paint pouring and mixing colors to the right consistency for them is a challenge. There are so many things to consider - from different pigments being "thicker" than others to just dealing with old paint. You just never know what the final result will be. Anyhow, the kids enjoyed it. Also, they'll use a straw to blow the paint around or just drag their fingers through to get their own individual style. A bit messier than your technique! 😂

I think you're both winners. They are all my favorite. Thoroughly enjoyed this. More please.

I love Nicole in videos!! You did amazing!!

Another techinque that a friend of mine does… is layering a lot of paint into a big red cup….as much as 10 or more colours. He just keeps layering until the cup is 3/4 full. He then inverts the cup quickly to place ontop of the canvas, moves it around a bit before lifting the cup off the canvas entirely. With all the paint on the canvas he rotates the canvas round to get paint in all corners.. then goes at it with a blowtorches heatgun or dryer..

Good to know about the mixing times in summer! I'm in QLD too but don't use resin enough to notice the difference in seasons

Yay!!! The mullet's gone!!! 😂 I really enjoy all your videos and specially the ones you do together. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent with all of us. Maurice from Canada.

One of my favourite artists does acrylic painting like this, I love the style so much! These came out great, I agree with you on the fav though, that last one was amazing!

I love to see both coupled people in the vids working on each others things, even if different, related as yours seems to be now, or completely opposites, though complimentary. Just people that can find a way to find something that they can agree on within their hobbies.

They are all awesome. I personally had a hard time deciding which was best. They all are sharing #1 position. Great to see Nicole working with you.

You did a good job considering you've never tried this before guys! I find the main perk of fluid art is just the having fun part of it. There's no need for it to be serious and you've shown that so well. That said, there are millions of videos out there to learn from and hundreds of techniques to try. I'm down on the VIC/NSW border, if you're ever down this way give me a holler and I'd be glad to do a session with you 😊

I such a laugh with the mullet and shhhhh Bens secret, you guys were definitely made for each other 😂 You both got a grasp on that quickly, the end ones turned out super, I have seen folks cover their paintings with resin looks cool too. I bought a paint thinner to try this flow thing, but the paint thinner melted the plastic cup, guess I bought I bought the wrong type. Thank you so much really enjoyed that 👍

Both loved and hated watching this. I was instructing ya'll from afar, but you didn't listen! 😂 If you want to learn more about acrylic pouring I can definitely suggest Molly's Artistry and Olga Soby. I love their work with acrylic pouring.

Resin topcoat is also good for sealing paintings and gives it a beautiful shine.

Fun and beautiful!

Y'all did great. I can't remember where I saw on KZread about how to paint pour. They even made it very shining. Anyway I love them all. Some looks like aurora borealis and nebula. I also heard some use resins for last after they're dry. I did mine. Only I drew house, with mountain, and so forth. I even added glow in the dark paint. After I was finished, I pour resins on top. Now it's fell behind my deep freezer and I won't be able to reach.

I never knew how much different the seasons where from Australia to the USA. It’s fall time in Michigan with small amounts of snow once n a while versus summer in Australia

These turned out so cool! You guys should try doing a dirty pour next!

Hhooly Cow !! Those are Absolutely Gorgeous 🤯❤️

Clean the condensate drain of your AC unit to make sure it’s draining water properly. You may need to open the unit up to clean it properly. Great content, love the banter between you and Nicole. Thanks Ben!!

Love them all.

Very cool!

Ben your first one looks like a dragon and Nicole's looks like the fire breath from it.

wow each attempt was amazing, considering it was a first try. i really love the red "looking flame" one, but i agree about the last one, to me, it looks like a dragon head with green flames! i wonder if using resin will help or to add some more shiny new traits to the paint.

They all came out amazing. Ive seen people do a base coat then to do colors they would pour all there colors in one cup( no mixing just layers of colors) then some would use a cup( which they also made strainer kind of things)n place it in a spot in canvas then pour cup of paint slowly over the cup til u either run out of paint or you think it has enough. Then remove cup. So then u can pick up canvas n move did to side to move colors around. N some will use a heat source to move around a bit. Then leave it to dry overnight. Another way my sister used to do them is put a color for base ,pick out 3 or 4 corresponding colors, take one color at a time( regular acrylic paint)squeeze onto canvas then repeat with other colors. Then you want to take a thin plastic that covers your entire canvas. Lay it gently over it. Press gently all over the plastic with your hands . after that lift it up from one side with both hands. Then Let it dry

Julie from Pouring Your Heart Out (who is also in Queensland) is a good resource for acrylic paint pours. All art is trial and error, so it's good for a first try.

After u added the water they looked so much better, my favorite one was the red one, the one u did off screen, just remember blow the paint in the same direction 😊😊

I think priming the canvas with black gesso first would help the colours standout. My favourite is the first with water instead of flowtrol. I reckon it looks like a phoenix!

Awesome video of paint pouring!! I watch Kanella Ciraco often, and she did video # 434 on her channel about mixing ratios for paint for blow outs. she coats her paintings with a top coat of resin. I really like the one you did with the blue!

Different colored dragons have different breath weapons, according to the guide books for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. It might be interesting to use different colors for different weapons-for example, shades of blue for ice or green for acid. By the way, Nicole’s second wet canvas looks like a victim’s eye view of the dragon’s breath weapon! I was disappointed about the loss of color as they dried, too.

Fun video!

your having all the fun

To get more cells, you can hit it lightly with a lighter like you would to get resin bubbles out. It brings cells to the surface. But you need to do it quickly as soon as you have spread the paint.

"Maybe we'll use it on one. I'll use it on mine, that way it will turn out better." Nice one, Nicole 😁

I like the fire like ones. Remined me of the like i tried to sculpt a flame out of polymer clay.

noooo!!! the glory of the mullet!!!

Fun! ☺️❤

You should try pouring a thin coat of resin for a finish on the canvas

@BensWorx

Yeah definitely

I think it really came together with the off-camera ones, and the first two of those definitely captured 'dragon fire' the most for me. But they were all cool.

Having a blow dryer with a low setting should work really well for better control when blowing the paints around. You can also use a straw or just your mouth for different effects. I’ve never done acrylic paint pouring but I’ve watched a ton of videos on it. You can just mix your paints with water, or floetrol, there’s also an Australian floetrol and an American floetrol that act differently. You can dab silicone on with a toothpick after you add your paint for a completely different controlled cell effect called “chameleon cells.” SO many options! I suggest watching J Mo Painting or Molly’s Artistry for some different ideas/lessons. But overall I think your first few attempts were awesome!!

The last one with the blue in is my favourite but they're all good.
