in this video I am using a couple of custom made metal spreaders to create some an abstract painting with unbelievable shapes and textures using just BLACK and WHITE paints. This monochrome madness is further accented with a splash of metallic gold and a generous helping of metallic copper.

My first time seeing your works (Mar 3/23). W0w, WOW, I am captivated. I have subscribed. I do have a question: Can I use acrylic paints to try to emulate your paintings? I am not very creative and color challenged. Acrylic would be easier for me to obtain and use. I would appreciate your input. Love this Black and White composition❣️

@SwarezArt Год назад

Hi Barbara. Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel! Yes, you can do this with acrylic paint but I would recommend a fluid medium to add to them to make them more liquid - essential for the kind of paintings I do where I need them to be liquids when applying. Liquitex do a lot of mediums that you can add. That would be a good place to start. I wouldn’t recommend enamel paints even though I use them. Cheers. Ed.

@amandahinchcliffe7432 Год назад

Hi Swarez, you added something to your base paint in the beginning, what was it please? Also, is your base paint just a basic gloss paint, house paint or what? Thank you in advance.... you amazing artist ❤

@SwarezArt Год назад

Thanks very much Amanda - how kind of you! I use enamel paints that I have made for me so they are different to ordinary household gloss paints - that's why I have to wear a respirator to keep the toxic vapors away form my lungs. The mixture at the start is called 'Special Sauce' (nicknamed by those that watch the live streams) and contains four chemicals that I keep a secret. One of them though is a thinner, and one if a dispersant but I can't reveal the rest!!! Hope that helps and here is more information on my paints: www.swarez.co.uk/using-enamel-paints/

How long for that art to dry? Also It looks amazing

@SwarezArt 12 дней назад

Thank you. Usual drying time is around 10 days

@sevenis9712 2 месяца назад

New here. Such thin canvas, how does it hold all that heavy paint?

@SwarezArt 2 месяца назад

It's actually quite a heavy weight of canvas at 420gsm and has a dense primer applied at the factory so it's surprisingly sturdy and robust when stretched.

most of what I am interested in is how to get those cells... its the same look when we doing the acrylic pouring, but how to get the same result with enamal paint is quite interesting.

@SwarezArt 2 года назад

Acrylic is straightforward but with enamels it requires some careful chemistry!

@brenda33181bs 8 месяцев назад

Can you please tell me what typeof paint you are using. Is it pouring paint or house paint? Did you add some type of flow medium to regular acrylic paint? And why can't we know what he special sauce is ? How can we try to do the painting if we don't know what materials you're using?

@SwarezArt 8 месяцев назад

Hi Brenda. I use enamel paints which are specially made for me. S it’s not house paint or pouring paint. It’s a solvent based polyurethane paint that’s very toxic. I’ll include a link below for you. The special sauce is a secret. Even if I told you what was in it you wouldn’t be able to use it as I’ve designed it to work with my specific paint formulation so I doubt t it would do anything with any other medium. You can probably achieve similar results with acrylic paint but you’ll need t research what to add to them in order to get the effects you want. Hope that help.

@VivianInTheOC 2 года назад

Hello frySouthern California!! I love your artwork!! And I love all the fun sound effects too! I Questions… What kind of canvas do you use? Do you prime all of your canvases before you start painting?

@SwarezArt 2 года назад

Thank you! Cheers Vivian. I use a 3.2m wide, medium weave cotton duck canvas weighing 420gsm (16oz). It has gesso applied at thew factory. I sometimes base coat and sometimes don't - that depends on what kind of painting I am doing. Thanks for the question!!!

Hi swarez! Unsure if you mentioned or I missed the process, but how does the galaxy effect/oxidising come about?? I honestly wish to achieve the affect but unsure how to get it....THANKS A MIL

@a.5304 2 года назад

Reading through properly lol, I'm guessing that's the special sauce you've described??

@SwarezArt 2 года назад

Yes indeed - a little special sauce was sprayed at the first drag point and that allowed the chemicals to move into the canvas as the paint was dragged. The sauce is a combination of four chemicals that only work with my enamel paints so you can achieve similar things with acrylics with additives like Flowtrol. Hope that helps.

@@juanblanco3059 I am probably not the best person to ask about educating people on a particular subject.. especially a food related one with an obviously strong message... Why don't you start with a creative series of title for each dish you create? incorporate messges on your themes - have a play with words to get people's interest and then you can carry your message from there perhaps?
