hi everyone it's molly welcome back to my channel thank you for being here i am a fluid artist here
in south florida and i love doing acrylic painting and fluid art of all kinds tonight i thought i
would do something fun that i have been seeing other people do and it is an acrylic painting
but with marbles so i'm going to do a ring pour because that's kind of my style and then i'm
going to wreck it with these marbles and see what happens so this one should be super fun
i have no expectations at all on this one i'm just going to appreciate whatever painting comes out so
i hope you do too let's paint hi everyone hope you're doing well have i lost
my marbles no i found them so i got these marbles off of amazon i'll link
them down below because it's actually really fun because they have all kinds of different sizes
and i have seen so there's actually quite a few artists so the first time i saw this i think was
wiggles art and i'll link some of these people down below and then i saw i think it's br turner
um doing them on instagram and he really took it to another level and i've also seen fiona art do
them with some great results and i have seen who else mina velagis and she has done it with golf
balls because she does really big canvases so i thought super fun technique i want to try it it
reminds me a little bit of the the outcome reminds me of the wrecked ring pores that i do so that is
what i wanted to do tonight i'm gonna do a ring pour and then instead of wrecking it with a stick
i'm gonna do um what these other artists are doing and use the marbles so i'm very excited for this
one i am using um my regular pouring medium which has flotrol gloss medium and varnish and gac 800
in it the paints are much thicker than when i do my blow dryer technique so i am just going to get
started now i think i do have enough paint already but i'm just going to pour down just a little bit
so that it will flow well and when i have thicker paints i don't necessarily paint the sides
because i don't really feel like i need to because the paint has good coverage
so i'm going to go ahead and get started so i'm just going to pour in the middle
the first kind of few pours don't really matter
coming out of the cup but then you want to start paying attention to your rings
to get really nice definition in your rings and the thicker your paint is the better
your rings are going to hold and come out you can do this with thinner paint as well
and when you do it with thinner paint the rings don't hold as well but you kind of get some cell
reactions that go on just because of the density and that can be really fun and really cool as well
okay so i've got this last little part here
really trying to take care i don't know if this marble is going to go
through the center or not so maybe it doesn't even matter
so much fun to try different things oh got it without a drip all right okay let me torch
i love love love this color combination i chose silver
instead of the white because i wanted it to have kind of a subtle backdrop to it so i
don't know so i have all these different sizes i don't know which one to pick first i think
oh i don't know maybe i'll go with the and i don't know where to put it either oh
i guess maybe i'll start i feel like the big
one's gonna be really good i don't okay i'm just gonna start i'm gonna
okay i'm gonna pick it up i hope you'll still need a camera
oh my gosh
as i move this so is the paint moving a little bit so this is going to be interesting ah
i'm gonna need your help to tilt this because everybody says they always tilt with me
okay
okay oh i hope i'm gonna be back on my stands in camera all right let me get
wipe this off because you can reuse these forever
all right oh this looks so funky okay maybe i'll do a small one now and roll that on through
i think let me see if this small one rolls in this paint oh it doesn't roll
this one doesn't roll as much okay i'm gonna go with the larger one see that's why i'm glad i
bought this pack that has like a bunch of them in there i'm gonna go with the medium sized one now
let's see if this one rolls
okay yeah this one rolls good okay i don't know do i want to go through that center
i'm just gonna let it go where it wants to go
kind of okay i'm getting a little bit more daring here
i feel like i want this one to roll off this side right here
okay all right now i'm going to stretch this out and see how this goes
this is fun let me move these up i almost did lose the marble
i almost did lose the marble oh my gosh okay okay here we go stretching this out
i guess i was already over to this corner so i might as well stretch this way
oh there's my center i kept it okay i'm gonna flip you
oh this color combination y'all ooh i have a little lump
oh man i saw it and then it disappeared i'll see it again oh there it is got it
okay take it to this corner over here and then off
bring it back
wow this is so abstract so pretty okay i'm gonna spin you around again
and this time just go ahead and get my sides dab just a little bit
you know square canvases don't always mix with
ring pores right all right i'm going to go up that way adding that extra little oh oh there's
a lot of corner missing up here why do you guys tell me that i don't know i'll fix them later
all right i put that base coat down and it really helped these paints flow nicely but
you notice i didn't have to have it all over the canvas first a lot of people ask whether or not
they need to have a base coat down or not and it really depends on the technique that you're doing
wow that lime green in there i hope i don't lose it all off the edge
okay bring that back
one last one last tilt here this is so pretty it's going to dry really pretty with that green that
was my center that's kind of stretched out now and i did see one more little lump right there
if you don't get these out now your paint will dry and it will have bumps over top of it
okay
i think it would be cool to do this and then just leave just like a little bit of negative space on
a corner that would be really cool too i'm going to lose all that lime green that makes me sad
because i need it to go over the edge maybe i can save just a little bit of it
oh and still go down the edge i don't
know okay i'll have to fiddle with my sides that is cool
wow amazing
how fun was that i love it when artists get creative and come up with different
techniques it is just it is what keeps this community fun and just enjoyable
all right okay i've got pretty good coverage except for a couple pieces so i'm going to
fix my sides and then i'll show you what this looks like up close i love it love it love it
here it is it's kind of difficult to tell where the center actually was but
that was it right there and it stretched out gorgeous
i love the fact that this is silver and will be metallic instead of white
i'm going to start you in a corner and just kind of move slow so that you can see the entire
the entire thing i love this corner
there's all those lines from the marbles looks so cool and then here's where a lot of like the rings
came in with the cool design and this is really just all about how you tilt
this piece once you actually get the design so i love that there's like a valley here with
all these lines coming out this way cool all right i will show you what it looks like dry
i love this piece so there's that corner there that i loved with the bright green
and the silver was such a good choice for this instead of using white because it's light enough
to give contrast but it's also a little bit metallic there's where the center used to be
i'm so glad i tried this technique i had seen so many other people do it with beautiful results
and it does it reminds me of erect ring pour i have so many ideas now
floating through my head of things to do i can't wait i love it when i get excited
i love it when you just find your passion all over again
well i hope that you enjoyed this one thank you so much for watching and liking and commenting and
sharing it all helps my channel and i appreciate you all so much thanks for watching, happy painting
bye!
