Today I show you our thirty foot string pull. In this extreme string pull, we determine how much string is too much, by possibly using too much string.
This took a lot of work between the two of us to create such a beautiful string pull on this huge 24 x 30 canvas!
As most of you know I suffer from anxiety, which makes me extremely shaky and it's difficult to hold a steady hand. So, I had Jeff lay the string down as he is a painter by trade... this is what he does.
As I said, the only thing I am truly disappointed with is the fact that the center got all the muddied. In a way, it turned out for the best, giving the center a very stem-like look.
I used Rheotech Carbon Black, Titanium White, Fluorescent Magenta, and FolkArt 14 karat gold to make this piece, as many of you have inquired.
The white I applied at the beginning is just the titanium white, mixed as I mix all my paints ( • 1 BIG SECRET TO POUR P... ), perhaps just a bit runnier as I like my white a bit thin, but no silicone in it.
I wanted to create my own challenge, and that I did.
Side note 2 years later:
I can't believe the incredible support you have all been! I never would have imagined one of my videos would ever get over a million views! I only wish it hadn't been one of my string pulls lol. I've recently made a video addressing this, I'd love for you to check it out: • NO MORE STRING PULLS! ...

For each painting, I eyeball about 40% acrylic paint, 40% Floetrol, 20% water, and 1 - 3 drops of silicone oil in the colors I choose. I sign every piece and cover them with 3 coats of Krylon low-odor, clear gloss spray. I do most of my pour painting with Rheotech, unless I see something fancy while I`m out.
**Please Note: It takes about 30 days for each painting to fully cure. At this point, they are washed with soapy water to remove the silicone residue on the surface. They are then sealed with Krylon Clear Gloss Spray or gloss varnish.**
