The only time I was able to get some cells was when I used Elmer's Glue All but I want to learn how to do archival pours so I'm trying not to use glue or much water.

It doesnt evaporate that quickly. Its not ethyl acetate (fastest evaporation) but you have a point, shouldn't leave it standing around too long

Next time you use the dish soap, pour the colors first and then in a bowl mix water and dish soap to form bubbles and gently place the bubbles where you want the cells. Once the painting dries simply wipe away the bubbles to reveal the cells. It works awesome when doing fingernails this way. Hope that helps.

I found this about isopropyl alcohol & paint pouring: "91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol in a spritzer bottle to pop bubbles in the paint. You can spray this into the paint cups before pouring, spritz it onto the canvas after pouring, or both. Alcohol also helps to open up the cells in paintings when you're using silicone oil."

I have tried many pours using different household items. Hairspray gives a combination of dishsoap and alcohol, coconut milk oil which gave big cells, but took forever to dry and wd40 (without silicone) that was a mistake, but waves and ripples formed..very cool. I usually add a bit of white glue to ensure a thicker pour. There are lots of products to add that give many different effects and once one layer is dry you can pour another on top in the areas that didn't come out so well. You can't really mess up on pours.

@@mariadasilva1341 First, I mix paint and white glue in plastic cups to a 4:1 ratio (more paint than glue). I use a solo cup and layer paint colors, floetrol more paint and the top with WD 40 with silicone. Sometimes I add the WD40 with silicone in between paint layers, but I have never poured WD 40 silicone next to floetrol. I have always spaced the two agents between layers of paint. I try to pour equal amounts of everything, but sometimes that isn't always the case. I find if you have more of the agents, the cells are muted and if you have more paint then the cells are smaller or don't come out as well. It is trial by error, and sometimes happy mistakes are made. There are pouring videos available to show how to set up the pour. It is easier to see than to describe.

I really prefer the softer look of the dish soap. I'm super glad I looked at this before spending a ton of money. I can't wait to play with my paints :)

I was about to scream when I saw you heading with the torch to the alcohol paint! Love the results.

Great job Olga! I'm an illustrator of the late sixties all the way into late eighties when magazine illustration was king and was at its height of popularity unlike what it is now days. We often used liquid soap with acrylic paint to get all different effects, somewhat similar to what you're trying to experiment and accomplish with. So yes, older illustrators know what I'm talking about. Oh by the way, my favorite was the one mixed with alcohol and the one with liquid soap mix, second. The one with silicone mix was too busy the way it was. I'm sure if used with a better design and composition on a larger surface would have made all the big difference.

It's an experiment. There is no right or wrong way. In art...all rules are broken and nothing make sense...That's what being an artist is all about. Pushing every boundary to its limit and then going even further.

Love them all for different reasons - I do love the silicon! The colors stayed really bold!

The dish soap one reminds me of watercolor paintings which is really cool. I think they all have interesting looks. I'm curious about how the alcohol would work if poured sooner before it evaporated vs spraying it after the pour. Very interesting!

I loved the one with Dish Soap. Never had an idea that dish soap could be used for such a beautiful piece of art.

I'm really surprised to find I like the one with dish soap the most! I've never used silicone or alcohol but I've always loved the cells silicone creates. but in this scenario, with this colour scheme I think the big cells make it quite busy. plus, the colours mixed so beautifully in the one with the soap!

The alcohol one is stunning, not busy and not chaotic look. Beautiful!

The alcohol one is so pretty. My favorite.

Thanks, that was great! Now that the comparison is done you can play with each individually. Personally, I'm not a fan of the overabundance of cells that silicone produces. The only time it works for me is when the colors are monochromatic but both dish soap and alcohol have potential. If you know that you plan to use the soap then you leave the paint a bit thicker and that should give a good consistency once the soap is added. If you are using alcohol you want to work quickly so that it doesn't evaporate,...and that should give you more cells...or you could try just spraying the alcohol over the top of the painting once it's stretched out. Just some thoughts...have fun!

Loved how the first one looked!! 😍😍

Very interesting experiment! I'm glad I know about those additives now.

thank you for checking it out 😉

Well, I love all three of your creations. Yours is the first experiment of this type that I was able to follow well. Most of the others I've watched weren't able to keep the differences between the methods used, in order very well. Well done and thanks much.

Thank you for such a great feedback! I'm glad that a was follow-able😀 I love experimenting!

It’s interesting how they all have different results I really enjoyed the result from the dish soap the best

I got a pour kit for Christmas and can't wait to use it. I like the outcome of all 3. I usually work in oil and in an impressionistic manner, I'm so happy to have found your video.

Happy you like it!😊

I thought they were all great. The silicone makes great cells with variants of colour contained within and it all looks crisp and clean. The dish soap came out looking dirty (or as you say 'muddied') because the colours were too close to distinguish properly. However, no water (as you've shown in another lesson) and light torching resulted in larger cells. The alcohol looked almost cosmic and, with the right colours, I think would make great galaxy/spacey pours. Thank you for such an interesting and informed video comparison/lesson.

Thank you so much, Carol!

Usually when people use the dish soap they don’t add it directly to the paint like that. They do the flip cup and then spray it on mixed with water.

Can I ask what ratio of w-u-liquid to water you would recommend as I am just beginning to experiment with this and I cannot find a product specifically labelled silicon oil. Thankyou.

agnostic deity if you go to Walmart in the section where they sell bicycle supplies you should be able to find the Spot On treadmill silicone oil.

@@cindijennings2285 Thankyou so much for replying. Sadly we don't have Walmart in England but I have just bought some bicycle lubricant in the hope that it will work the same way , so it looks like I might be in the right direction. Always fun to experiment ;-)

agnostic deity here in the UK you have a number of options. Durex personal lubricant, coco hair serum, you’ll find in most supermarkets. What you are looking for ingredients wise is Dimethicone, that is the beauty worlds word for silicone. You can also buy dimethicone dircect from beauty suppliers. Happy hunting 🤗

@@Tamara01234 Thanks. Quick heads up... bike oil does not work, but got an acceptable pour without cells.

It's so crazy I like all three the middle one is my favorite. 🥰. The first time I watched this video a year ago I immediately tried this experiment but never used anything but silicone after. Tomorrow I'll do alcohol and a dish soap mixture and see what I get. Sometimes it's good to get back to basics. Thanks for the reminder😊

All 3 are great. The dish soap is my favorite because the appearance is more subtle and galaxy-like. So cool! Thank you for sharing your talent. :)

i like the green that appeared in the dish soap one, it’s so pretty

TFS your experiment and results! This was a great video. My favorite design was with the silicone based color. 🐝🐝🐝

My favorite was with alcohol. Thank you for trying.

As always you are so gracious to share all these wonderful tips with us! The information given by you is so helpful.. you have a wonderful ability to teach!! All 3 pieces turned out amazing... my favourite is the one the rubbing alcohol one!!💞💞💞
