My thing with the mop one is that it's very obviously derived from a form of traditional Japanese caligraphy art (may also exist in other parts of Asia, but I only personally know Japan) whoch uses a very large caligraphy brush, black ink, and very well known for the 'smack technique' and the way, at least in this video, that it's framed like this lady came up with this 'new unique idea' feels a bit weird... there's a lot of culture and tradition behind the art form, and people dedicate years to learn and master the art and tradition to keep it alive, and for all of that to go completely unacknowledged and reduced to 'mop art'... like, a lot of traditional Japanese arts are dying out so I don't think many would be against people trying and adapting techniques like this to keep it alive, as long as it's done with respect, but some hint of acknowledgement would be nice...
May I suggest “pouring medium” with the liquid pour paintings? It doesn’t thin out the paint or like de-saturate the color and helps with the kind of fluidity you need without wasting a ton of white paint you used
I really like the-the end products. However, I think that if u were to add the paint directly into the pan it would've gone a little smoothly. But other than that, love it. 🦋
I don’t understand why you’re pouring the paint into cups….shouldn’t you be pouring the paint directly into the dustpan? That’s literally the whole point of doing it from the dustpan. You have a huge amount of control over the “design” (or- more accurately placement) in the pan and then the way its poured from the pan mostly keeps the paint placement, it just transfers the paint onto the canvas vs the “original” pours where there isn’t much control dumping from a cup or whatever. If you dump the cups into the dustpan and then pour from the dustpan the colors are gonna be REAL blended. Also, please don’t forget to paint the canvas w/a layer of white prior to pouring so that the paint slips.
Granted I haven’t watched tutorials but I wasn’t sure why she poured the paint in cups first. I would have though you just put the paint on the dustpan.
My thing with the mop one is that it's very obviously derived from a form of traditional Japanese calligraphy art and for all of it to go completely unacknowledged and reduced to 'mop art'... is quite disrespectful and a lot more acknowledgement from the cultures this is derived from should be taken.
Am I the only one absolutely in love with the mop painting? Like I would so hang that on my wall lol. It would also go sooo well with the current background for these videos, ya know?
I thought with paint pouring you were supposed to paint the canvas white first and have that base still be wet when you pour the colors on, so that the colors will slide more on a wet surface. I have never actually done it, just watched a lot of videos and I thought they start with a wet slippery canvas.
Potentially, if they aren't fully covered, then any parts exposed to the air could go off, they might also go off if they're full of moisture. On the other hand, candies are really long-lasting, so they might be OK? 😂
Thanks for introducing me to the swishy swishy painting style 😂 will be my next paint project. Reminds me of the videos of the people making dragons with one consistent paint stroke.
I don't really understand the purpose of mixing all the paint together in the cups. I feel like you could have just mixed them with the liquid in the cup and then layer them into the dust pan instead of layering them into the shot glasses. Just in my mind that seems easier but I don't know
Get a plastic toy shovel from a kids beach set to do mini of those one broom shovel things. I also put blobs of paint on a canvas and gently scrape across with the toy shovel and pick up most of it and then shmear that onto another canvas while the shovel is upside down. Just scrap across gently while upside down on the other canvas. Granted I dont use any flow crylic or any of that. Just like straight liquitex or blickcrylic. And sfter it dries I take watered down acrylic and splatter all over in several layers and blob sizes n stuff. And then after that I might even scrape some more paint across n do more water color style splats. Basically that’s one of my main styles and I layer until I am satisfied. I love colorful abstract art and also impressionist and expressionist pieces.
Definitely should have thinned out the paint to help with the pouring. Also helps to add a thin white later on the canvas to make it easier to tilt and spread. If you can't get pouring medium, clear PVA and water works really well, or you can also add a few drops of silicon to create cells for a different look :)
