Hi guys, I just want to mention that this video is older, it pertains more to straight pour technique, not so much my puddle pour or thin paint techniques. I just don’t want any confusion. I also never use glue anymore… LOL MIX is a great product to thicken paints.

I did a search on your channel, do you have a more recent video of your mixes? What do you use in place of Glue to thicken paint instead of Glue now?

@@praschclan6692 She mentions in the video that she uses Golden’s GAC800 and Floetrol. There is also Liquitex pouring medium and Artsist Loft also has one. I recommend 1/4 part paint, 2/4ths part pouring medium and 1/4 part water. And adjust that to the consistency you are wanting.

Thank you for this. Making paint is my favorite part. I love making my own colors. No one else has said this.

Another continued message LOL. It was so nice to meet you! And I think your Channel is just going to grow and grow!

Sometimes I think my favorite part of acrylic pouring is mixing paints. 🤓 thanks for the great info!

This was so informative-thank you! Would you say roughly 75% floetrol to 25% artists loft medium is in your squeezing bottle? Secondly, I wanted to make a deep blue (almost Navy) for a painting. Have you ever mixed Payne’s grey with a blue?

Thanks Sara for all your info & your outlook on your creativity! It made me do some thinking. I love paint myself & am new to pouring & I hesitate a lot about my ability so many things u said helped. 💕🧜‍♀️

Thanks, I learned something. My problem is that my studio is a disaster especially while working, do you have a video of your space, how you work ? Love to see one. Thanks

You have such a beautiful soul. I am an old hippie, and I love doing fluid art it is so groovy. Stay safe and thanks for the info ✌❤✌❤🤗

Thank you!

Thank you Sara! I bought the liquitex but was afraid to use it!!😱

Thank you, Sara! I do appreciate the time you took to teach us how you mix paint. I do have a question on the Mix pouring medium. It seems the ladies who make it have taken a break according to their web site. Do you know when they will be back?

Thanks for sharing.. have you tried Owetrol( floetrol) it ridiculous to get your flotrol here in The Netherlands.. love how your not measuring anything.. am new to this and freak out mixing😅

So informative, particularly the ‘thickening paint’ bit. Just a great shame MIX isn’t here in the UK…glue for me if need be. Thank you so much.

Sara, I’m really enjoying your recipe/mixing videos. I’m a little bit confused about the “Pearl” and cloud recipe and when to use them. Trying to write everything down as I’m a visual person. I don’t like to add a lot of things like glue because it doesn’t really dry crystal clear, so I prefer gloss medium to thicken my paints. Thank you fir your beautiful art and for sharing with us. If you like adding sparkle to your colors, get some of the 5 Bling It ( Colourarte(r) interference colors to get some super colors.

Thank you

Thanks Sara. Love your work. Thanks for the update on not using glue. MIX was not available on Amazon. Why NEVER Glue to thicken paint?

Good info. Tell me Sara, when we use metallic paint like 24kgold, do we want the same consistency as our other paints? Merci for answering. 👍👏👏

Hi Sara - you have listed Polycrylic semi gloss varnish listed in your products - when do you use this? I would like to use my tin but I'm new to the process and your video is terrific for nubie mixing. Many thanks

Though older, as you mentioned, still great info. Won’t use glue to thicken!

Thank you for this very informative video. Dave from LeftBrainedArtist recommended I check out your channel. 👌

That was a great video I’m still a little confused about the base paint and pillow paint mixtures. What recipe do you use for those?

Thankyou for all your great information on mixing paints. Do you have a recipe for making lots of cells?

Hi Sarah, to cover your paint, try using the round top of a balloon. Fits nice and tight. Just adjust untill its not pulling in the glass.

Hello; Thank you for sharing. I was wondering what i can use the mixed house paint recipe with; no layering with it because it "drinks" the color. So how/for what would you use it?

I appreciate this video very much, my mixing stays pretty consistent, however, there are times when my colors have a tendency to blend with my black negative background ... not sure what's happening with that. Thought's? Also, I see many artists using white glue, is that the same as GAC?

Thanks

Sara, ColorPlace house paint is lovely...from Walmart..Yeah. Cheap and several artist use this brand...Yeah🙂

Hi Sara! Thank you for all your information. It's very generous of you. You had mentioned using Blick acrylics. Do you use the student grade or the studio grade? I'd like to try it, but am hoping to save a little money if the product is just not of good quality for pour painting. Also have you by chance tried Sennelier Abstract acrylic paint? They sell it at Trekell Professional Art Supplies and it seems like a good price. Trekell is a quality company so I'm assuming the paint is good, but again, I'm checking with other artists first to see what their experience is first. Thanks again for your generosity. I took Sarah Mack's recommendation to check out your channel. So glad I did! Cheers!!! TO

Psssst, oftentimes, glass jar lids fit on top of those plastic cups very well! I specifically like Adam's peanut butter jar lids for a quick cup lid.

Wonderful to watch you work, even mixing paints! I'm really curious about GAC 800. Does it help to thicken paints also? But my main question is, "When pouring layered paints from a cup, how do you keep them from mixing and giving a muddy result.?" I've all but given up on straight pours, circle pours, wandering pours, etc. Any suggestions? Hopeful, Gail

@SaraTaylor

Жыл бұрын

The JC 800 actually will likely send your paint a bit, it’s used to help with any cracking or crazing, it’s just a very high-quality binder medium for acrylics. One tip when layering a cup is to add a very thin layer of either white or black in between your colors, that will help them from mixing too much together and getting muddy. Also try to keep your consistency is as close to the same as possible.

Hi Sara! I'm new to your channel and I love your work and ideas. Quick question... in this video you show the Floetrol/GAC800 mixture bottle, but say you fill up to the line with Floetrol first and then the remainder of the bottle with GAC800. But from the way it's written on the bottle, I'm wondering if you said that in reverse because GAC800 is written below the line and Floetrol is above the line. Would you mind verifying which one is correct, please?
