I’d love to see what would happen if you use a toothbrush to flick alcohol on a painting, so you get an even smattering of tiny droplets all over.

@lisalexus8824 6 лет назад

Anybody else see the red face?

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Lisa Stumpf well I do now! :)

@RoosterPootPottery 6 лет назад

Yes I did. I was afraid she would lose it

@silverpromidi 6 лет назад

I was about to mention that face :)

@hnskkd 6 лет назад

I see it too.

@SophieMia806 6 лет назад

I do. I commented on it as soon as I saw it tonight, then commented again once the video was finished. Then I scrolled through the comments, wondering if anyone else saw the face. So cool!

@JasmineCherie 6 лет назад

I don’t think the alcohol will continue to degrade the paint. Once it evaporates it’s done. I too preferred the one on the left prior to drops of alcohol. I thought a flick of a toothbrush dipped in alcohol would bring out some neatly dispersed cells.

@steverino015 5 лет назад

you did not say what the ratio of acrylic paint to isopropyl alcohol was: 50/50, 80/20.... ? I would like to try this, what ratio?

@sannkopp1 5 лет назад

I just found her reply to someone else and she said it was about a 50/50 ratio.

@Thejumpergirl1996 5 лет назад

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOREVVVER!😭😭THANK YOUUUU

@KristenK78 6 лет назад

The one on the left looks like intentional “water” damage, if you wanted to give something an aged quality perhaps?

@XoxoTTe 5 лет назад

i find that if you spray alcohol in ur paint before pouring if tends to do muddy colors but if i spray it after streching the paint it blows bubbles and make cells xx

@em-yx5pl 6 лет назад

GUYS when you do this, you should pour the pain onto the canvas as soon as you put the alcohol in otherwise it will evaporate, and you'll get some beautiful cell looking effect

@keithager903 4 года назад

hi from the uk i wonder if you have ever had any problems with the paint missing in small circles mostly on the canvas edge i can get round this by filling in i have just finished a 24x36 inch i do use silicon,coconut serum, water repellent not all at the same time, Ifind my drying time is a lot longer than yours up to three weeks due to our cold wet uk weather regards KA

@christiehaynie6729 5 лет назад

I’m white Liquitex paint curdled. I had 91% alcohol would that make a difference?

@sweatintotheoldies 5 лет назад

so you're not using craft acrylic like from Walmart right? Those are too thick for pouring. Unless you know of way to thin them?

How much alcohol did you put in the paint? 1-1 ratio? 2-1?

@sannkopp1 5 лет назад

I just found her reply to someone else and she said it was about a 50/50 ratio.

@scootmcgoot570 5 лет назад

Is your paints in the alcohol pour painting diluted w water? Thr paints i usually use comes in tubes and thick as paste

@judipodgurski5083 6 лет назад

This is always so much fun to see. I think you might call these paintings "Night and Day".;-)

@johnr8289 6 лет назад

What is the drying time? Can you make another video of the painting a few days later for comparison?

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+John Repan less than a day :) I usually post the pics when they're dry on my Instagram :)

@suebennett7617 6 лет назад

Can you put sealer (varnish) on the alcohol painting? How would you finish on it?

@holly-anne680 6 лет назад

A very interesting comparison......I can see the merits of pouring both ways.......for instance, on the right side painting, that just has the alcohol in it. you could do an "area" pour with the silicone and control where you want a "cell colony" to live......I think that's awesome! Thank you!

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Holly-Anne that's true! That would be an interesting experiment.... :)

@karenescalera8193 6 лет назад

I like the one with just the alcohol better. The colors have more of a gradual blending happening that helps add more depth. Thinking of doing some with just the alcohol.

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Karen Escalera thanks :)

@suekruger8525 4 года назад

Gorgeous do you think it would work on the yuppo paper as well have you tried it thanks

@carolspitko5646 6 лет назад

I love how you are not afraid to try the different mixtures and compare. This proves to me that it's ok to mix the pouring medium (flotral) and apply rubbing alcohol w/out an explosion. lol Thank you

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+carol spitko lol yes, I didn't explode :) let me know if there's any other dangerous mixture you'd like me to try for you :)

@erisnyx806 6 лет назад

The rubbing alcohol give it almost a 3D look to it.

@rosemariekosma9516 6 лет назад

I love the use of the alcohol because of the nice affects however, please be careful. I used the 91% and got some on my hands because I didn’t think it would hurt me almost 2 weeks ago . I thought it would be ok to put my gloves on just to tilt and move the paint after the alcohol was added. WRONG! on my part ! It got on my hands and now MY HANDS ARE NOT ONLY PEELING AND DRIED OUT BUT THEY ARE SORE WITH ALCOHOL BURNS! I’m hoping they heal soon. Please advise your subscribers and for your safety too, to wear the gloves while handling the alcohol. I love you and your creations. I want you safe! Hugs, Rose 🌹

@marlborosoda 6 лет назад

Rosemarie Kosma i used alcohol to try and freshen/sanitize the insides of some shoes and didnt give em enough time to dry before i wore them the next day. worst foot peel ever. not at all luxurious.

@mindybeth1980 6 лет назад

Rosemarie Kosma very helpful thank you I do acrylic flow painting and alcohol ink paintings so deal with a fair amount of 91%alcohol and never had a clue that this could happen. Thank you again

@Nikatronixx 5 лет назад

thats why you should ALWAYS use gloves!

@aliyahsky1 5 лет назад

Rosemarie Kosma thanks and hope u r ok now

@valeriejoy11 4 года назад

how much alcohol did you use in how much paint? very cool!

@bornwithbsguards 6 лет назад

Thats a toss up! I really like them both. Thank you for all your experiments :)!

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Lissie Flowers thank you!

@Skidz1340 6 лет назад

What would have happened if you dripped silicone on it?

@dlkhoury69 6 лет назад

Very cool. But what was the ratio of paint to alcohol please?

@thedoover6520 4 года назад

That's my question too. I'm going to keep scrolling to see if it's in the comments.

@MixedMediaGirl 4 года назад

I used as much of it as I would have used water. I generally don't measure but my best guess is about 15% alcohol, depending on you paint

@onepolishedprincess3949 5 лет назад

The dripped alcohol reminds me of moon craters. Thank you for sharing!

@DidiArte 6 лет назад

How much alcohol in the original colors on the right? I wonder how the one on the right would do with the same dripping on top of alcohol after the pour and tilt? I do like them both...

@barbgarnier2056 3 года назад

Interesting experiment! Thank you.

@beach.bum.8686 6 лет назад

The alcohol would look awesome if u did a pour with bronze white and black. It would look like a moon or some kind of planet.

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

Oooh good idea :)

@sarahville1927 5 лет назад

Wow! I really like them both! Thanks for sharing this experiment. I just started pour painting, and I'm loving it!!! New subscriber! Also, the title is fantastic!

@kaths9449 6 лет назад

Thanks for letting us see your experiment. The effects are quite different so both techniques can be useful. With no medium and alcohol evaporating the paint will dry more quickly thus limiting scope to manipulate the outcome but the overall effect is pleasingly smooth. The alcohol drops on the other hand can jazz up a pour. I can imagine creating jellyfish on an ocean pour!

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Kath Stewart Yes! That would be awesome ;)

@thomasry1 2 года назад

Will alcohol ruin the painting over time? Can this be archival? Thanks

@WhirledPeasFursure 6 лет назад

from google; "Isopropyl alcohol... it usually contains 70% by volume of absolute alcohol or isopropyl alcohol; the remainder consists of water, denaturants, and perfume oils..." ............. Thanks,, groovy vids.. I always give ya a thumbs up..

@rouge66 5 лет назад

I am very new to pouring. But, i have seen a few recipes the require 90% and up. You can find Isopropyl Alcohol 90% and up at your local beauty supply. JIC your looking for it... Much love XOXO #thumbedup #JIC

@kristymixedmediachic2086 6 лет назад

@darlenebaldwin1398 6 лет назад

As I scroll through all expert pouring videos....I realize I enjoy yours more than others. Thank you for all your experiments...if I think about it, you usually try it. Thanks again! 😊 Happy painting!

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Darlene Baldwin awww thanks! I'm always open to suggestions as well :)

@mustardseed308 6 лет назад

As you were pouring the left side mixture I was watching the colors pop from the paint alcohol mixture. Wow the colors are vivid. I liked both. Good experiment.

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Mustard Seed thanks!

@early60srcool 5 лет назад

I’m taking art therapy classes! And it was yesterday the instructor was talking about alcohol (rubbing) mixing it with acrylics. We didn’t have class that day. But she said google it. And I did!! Have to sai I ‘liked’ and subbed! Your work was (is ) stunning!

@judyfrank2380 6 лет назад

I like BOTH....so there. :)

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Judy Frank thank you!

@jeanniewinters847 6 лет назад

On the alchohol experiment: Very different. But really like both. Wonder what would happen if u drop alcohol inks drops.

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Jeannie Winters i had that thought too! Future experiment :)

@Miss_Sippy 5 лет назад

How much alcohol did you use?

@irmielam5192 5 лет назад

Both are beautiful! I think I liked the red cells better before adding alcohol, but even so very cool experiment! Did you see the heart it made?

@cheryldonnelly6532 6 лет назад

I love your videos! But I wish you would show them after they dry at the end. Just curious if they've all dried nice or if any of the stuff you added (ex. Alcohol, pva, just water) has caused them to crackle or change in any way while drying.

@jacquelinegardner364 5 лет назад

I’m impressed with the alcohol and paint. The red and blue are clearly visible and the white and yellow are more muted, but still my favorite of the two pours! The paint and Flotrol is brighter because the white is prominent and covered the primary colors. Even though the Flotrol painting has more cells, I truly prefer the alcohol painting. Looking forward to trying the alcohol mixture with some different color combinations! I enjoy watching your creative videos! Keep on sharing your beautiful artwork!

@chadhoward5976 5 лет назад

How much alcohol do you add to each color?

@newtkintsukuroi3702 5 лет назад

So....kind of a curiosity. If you mixed some paint with alcohol and some with you regular mixture and poured them all together would that change which colors would show through? For example, I think in one of your vids you had said red tends to show through a lot in cells because it is a lighter pigment and less dense....so since alcohol is lighter than water would it make a difference in the cells? Not sure I am explaining myself well....lol!

@MixedMediaGirl 5 лет назад

That would be a very interesting experiment! I feel like the density of the paint would still take over but I'm not sure :)

@SophieMia806 6 лет назад

Oh my gosh, about 3 minutes in, the red in the alcohol piece kind of looks like Abraham Lincoln. Lol So cool! I love those dark colors, though. And it looked like part of the white was trying to peek through in the upper left, but wasn't quite making it. Kind of like the sun trying to peek through the clouds on an overcast day. Ok, now to finish watching the coolness happen. 😊

@SophieMia806 6 лет назад

Cool end results on both. I like the alcohol drops on the left piece, and the right piece still looks like a face, but not as much Lincoln anymore. Really neat, both of them.

@beverlygreen482 5 лет назад

The alcohol one looks like a nebula.

@SuperXrunner 5 лет назад

I love the paint and alcohol look

@paulthomasshepherd5156 6 лет назад

With alcohol darker, deeper, richer more beautiful outcome. Thank you.

@QueenVic67 5 лет назад

Fantastic video hun! I really like the alcohol put on afterwards I’m gonna try it with a spray bottle! Xx

@GeminiWitch83 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing! Somewhere along the line I saw in a video of someone spraying a tiny bit of alcohol in to help get the bubbles out from stirring, and that’s what I’ve been doing. I may try doing my next one without adding a couple tiny sprays of alcohol to my paint cups before I layer them.

@novallasuter8197 3 года назад

Did it cause fractals?

@missygold9315 6 лет назад

My opinion I prefer the 1 on the right with the achool . There both cool that is just the 1 I like better out of both of them TFS AND showing us the difference

@neonkurls 5 лет назад

I liked it after the alcohol drops

@Towl35 6 лет назад

If you mixed the paint in the cups the same way, the only reason I can think of the darker colors with the alcohol pour is to to the lower surface tension of alcohol and it's allowing the paints to mix instead of sitting on top of one another...

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+malcolm wiseman possibly :)

@chamsupernoel 6 лет назад

I think the alcohol on the left one made little planets! I'd be curious to see what it'd be like to spray or squirt in a ziz zag all over the canvas with the alcohol.

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+champagnesupernoel yeah that would be a fun experiment ;)

@lorimcgarrity6537 6 лет назад

both are cool but I would do the alcohol and paint in different colors now that you see how it does. I do like the alcohol drops on the regular. WOuldn't do but a couple I don't think though. THanks!!

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Lori McGarrity thanks!

@slysweetie19 6 лет назад

I think if she had used the torch it would have been different results. Also, flotrol is a medium. Then why did you use no medium like Elmer's PVA glue in the alcohol only one?

@annevanstone8346 5 лет назад

How much alcohol per paint cup did you use? Did you mix it in, or just leave drops of it and stir as little as possible? Enjoy your videos very much!

@raiknightshade3442 6 лет назад

I wonder what would happen if you did this stuff but with a clean pour. Do you think the alcohol paint would retain the colors more?

@CarlDigitalKing 6 лет назад

Very interesting technique.♥ Love it. :-) #KnowledgeIsPower!#AwesomeTeam☮

@veeziegirl 6 лет назад

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Dayle Van Massenhoven thanks! Me too :)

@suziefast4096 6 лет назад

How much alcohol did you use? I’m guessing equal parts paint and alcohol.

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+Suzie Fast much less alcohol actually, maybe 25% alcohol and 75% paint? Next time I'll measure

@Tiz_Ink. 6 лет назад

i find putting the alcohol in a spray bottle proves useful for popping bubbles in the paint and making smaller cells, as opposed to pushing the paint around on the surface. i really love the technique when i pour, spray, and then spread the paint around

@MixedMediaGirl 6 лет назад

+CasualSpoon yes, I've done this as well :)

@TheShamansQuestion 6 лет назад

Ah thank you so much yet again!! I was wondering how to get the tendril bubble like pattern and alcohol is the answer. I'm doing experiments at the moment with virtually no knowledge of pours and as soon as I'm wondering about a particularly effect I see a video from you on it! Thanks so much again, you're doing great

@allysonfarr768 5 лет назад

@missygold9315 6 лет назад

I always put 2 drops in all my paints I mix and I never had trouble with it some one told me if you put 2 drops at least of the 91% it helps to stop bubbles from forming but I have never been brave enough to try more than 2 drops lol but I must say I really don't get many bubbles I mean I do get some but not near as many as I did before using the achool unless it's just all in my head lol

@paulthomasshepherd5156 6 лет назад

@zosia48 6 лет назад

I tried it, in a puddle pour. The fumes of the acetone was very strong, I couldn't bring the piece into the house (I always do outside) for over a month. It had a yellowing effect after it dried thoroughly. It didn't create any cells. I did create some texture dragging a plastic fork in it. Still turned out nice, but no more nail polish remover.
