That's a beautiful butterfly fish you pour painted! Or better, you swipe painted! 🐠 👍😉 What happens if one doesn't clean the swiper, every time? Too much paint? Coz, I one could forget to clean it before the next swipe. Looking forward to the next sea and marine creature! 😁🐳🐟🐋🐠👍
Your seahorse video popped up out of nowhere, and I thought, ugh, another fluid acrylic “artist.” And then I watched it, and woman, you rocked it! So, I started watching your other videos, and you nailed those too! You are a wonderful artist. I may pre-judge people for superficial reasons and/or absolutely no reason at all, but I admit when I’m wrong. I am glad that your initial video popped up into my feed out of nowhere. Seriously, you are a wonderful, talented artist. Your work is beautiful.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Love both of your sea creatures! A tip: If you put down your tape then paint a thin layer of white around the edge and let it dry it will prevent your colors from seeping underneath! Love your work!!👍🏼😍
Wow… this piece is just beautiful Anna!! So well done and you are an amazing teacher… I think it is commendable that you are so willing to share your techniques and your talent! This is something I really want to try, so thank you!! I would love to see you do the jellyfish! ♥️♥️🇦🇺
I agree with the woman below Matters of the h'ART by Nat, you are an outstanding artist, and a sweet person. I can learn from someone like you. A great teacher, I enjoy how natural and organic that your paintings take on as you go. There's so much to say, but most of all thank you, so much for your channel, I will share your work with my friends. I for sure subscribed to your channel, anyone can learn these techniques from you. Again thank you
Anna, To get a clean line on your front edge, get some clear hair gel, use your finger to go along the edge of the tape in the area you want the clean line on, let the hair gel dry, then paint as you normally would. The clear hair gel fills in the bumpy areas, so when your paint goes down all that's left for the paint to cover is a smooth surface, leaving very clean lines on your leading edge. Hope this helps you. Fabulous job my friend 😁😎🙏💖💖
Beautiful! Idea for avoiding bleeding of the paint under the tape: prepaint the edge with a little white paint so that will fill the gaps. After drying you can do your painting and it cannot bleed. Saves time touching up.
I appreciate your voice walking us through the tutorial , about the prices of painting the butterfly fish. Please do a starfish one day. Again thank you.
Ann, the fish is great! Yes, more swiping of sea creatures please. I did the seahorse the other day, it came out lovely. Maybe a jelly fish of a dolphin. I’ll copy your fish as well. And thank you for showing us how to do it, how to correct the mistakes, it does make it easier for all of us to follow. Great job!
Thank you! I’d love to try a stingray sometime. Jellyfish I do with a slightly different technique but I’ve never filmed one! I’ll have to do that soon.
Hi u were wondering how to make the tail. You make the whole fish then add the tail. Fish don't have triangular bodies lol. It's a unique look. It's a beautiful painting
O………. M………. G……….. This is absolutely incredible, you have definitely created magic with this, the seahorse was crazy awesome & this is insanely awesome. I absolutely love your work. You are such an inspiration 🙏❤️🤩
Wow this is super amazing painting and very nice illustrations .. it’s very unique and incredible. Thank am very happy to have opportunities watching your painting process. I am new friend here keep sharing.
Just found your channel and I love it! You are the best, so fun and so easy to follow (even though mine look like sh#t), I'll keep trying and thank you!
Thank you so much! Haha sorry you haven’t gotten the results you want…start simple, and once you have a feel for the particular technique then try something more complex! Good luck!
As the seahorse, kind thuis one very much. But my personal taste is no polka dots. Still wander what would happen if you would use a blow-dryer softly to spread the paint.... Love from the Netherlands, Daniëlle 🙋
Instead of wiping up where the paint went under the tape couldn’t you take some sort of a utensil and feather/swirl those bits of paint into the background color making it look intentional instead of wiping it off and then repainting little flex of paint that end up looking more uniform and less organic. I like the organic look of where the paint saved under the tape, personally… But this is whyThere is a saying “to each his own” beautiful work thank you for sharing your time in your talent
Hello from Canada. I love your videos, i'm new to your channel and loving it. Could you please tell which floetrol your using? And have you experimented with coconut hair serum for cells yet? Being a beginner, I tend to have crazing and cracking in a couple of my pieces, and since I read on my American floetrol bottle, that lead is leaked with cracking of paintings. I'm not sure if the Australian floetrol has the same, as in Canada I cannot purchase it anywhere. Please do tell my dear, thank you
Hi! I am using US Floetrol. And yes I used the hair serum for cells before buying my silicone oil and it worked very well! Crazing/cracking is often linked to a poor quality paint. For me, I found that apple barrel white paint cracked like crazy, so I stopped using it and used other brands instead. Another possibility is that your paintings are drying too quickly, which can result in a cracked surface. Good luck!
@@AnnaBlountArt thank you very much. I use mont marte paints as well as liquitex paints for black and whites. Other colors I use for practice pieces are usually folk art paints. I do live in an apartment, so I think maybe it's the quick drying. Thank you again for your help and your videos
Hello, I love this. I looked through the comments, & I apologize if you answered this already. Did you put your colors on the canvas in a particular order or just mix it up?
Thanks so much! The first color or two after the front edge color will be the most prominent, so I did layer them so as to have some contrast between the colors. But it really isn’t an exact science, and I’m sure it’ll look great no matter how you put them out!
My paint is mixed with American floetrol at about 2:1 floetrol to paint. My paint brands are in the video description, as well as a link to a video that shows how to mix paint with floetrol!
Beautiful, I love both the fish and seahorse, I have to try this I think a Jellyfish would be cool as well, I have not liked using silicone so I will have to perfect my cell activation with out it, I just started watching your channel, what do you use as far as resin or varnish? Thank you for sharing your technique 👏💕
Thanks so much! Yeah I’ve made jellyfish but with a different technique. Gotta find time to make another because none of the three I’ve made previously were filmed! I use gloss varnish to finish my pieces.
Hi Anna, I love your videos. I live in UK and finding it hard to find floatol ! Do you know what I could use as substitute please ? Plus is the white background just household wall paint. Thank you.
Thanks Lesley! I believe Owatrol makes a floetrol that is available in the UK. The white background is acrylic craft paint mixed with floetrol and water like my other paints. I usually only use house paint as the background for a “bloom” pour.
Thanks! Yeah I hesitate to paint over the tape because I don’t want to create a ridge of dried paint in this particular design. But it’s a great thought for other paintings that use tape!
Thank you! I made the swipe tools by cutting a piece of laminator sheet. But you could use a piece of paper towel or a putty knife or something instead…
I make a sketch on parchment paper, lay tape over it, then flip over the paper and cut it out with scissors. Then I peel it up and lay it on the canvas!
Because I’m lazy 😂 Squeeze bottles would make the painting process faster but the prep and cleanup would take longer. Cups and sticks seems a bit messy but it saves a lot of time so that’s what I typically do!
Haha I mis-spoke in the video. My paint is mixed with floetrol and thinned with water, and 1 drop of silicone oil per color of paint. Check the description and you’ll find details and a paint-mixing video!
Suggestion! Perhaps the next ocean picture you do with fish or marine life, let the entire painting dry and put some lacey kelp and sea grasses in there, across the finished picture. I notice that you used apple barrel paint. I had a terrible thing happen using that paint. Maybe I just had a bad batch, but I added something to dry apple barrel then did not like it and the apple barrel that was dry WIPED OFF when I wiped off the added paint! I have never used apple barrel since. And that has never happened with any other type of paint I have used. If you decide to use the lacey sea plant idea, before you try it out, Please make a test project and let it dry completely first then test that your paint is not ruined if you decide you do NOT like the plant effect and try to change it. Your work is to gorgeous to ruin it with a bad paint. Please be careful. That would make me cry!
