I kind of want to buy this! I know I shouldn’t, because I should be saving money for diapers and things but I really don’t have enough ‘art’ in my house. It’s all just family photos and I really think a few panels of ‘art’ would really spice things up.
@mehcuda67 Note; I am an expert on this, because I have watched several YouTube videos on the subject.
Getting good results requires artistic talent. The successful Youtubers pour paint on a canvas and then mess with it until it looks good. Then they stop. They always manage to completely cover the canvas.
Stopping at the right time is hard, very hard.
The good art manages to maintain a consistent theme from edge to edge, while keeping it interesting. These canvases are small which should help a bit in that department.
A common technique is to pour a solid color over the complete canvas and then pour the art. This means they don’t have to worry about covering the canvas and making it look good at the same time. Usually they use white or black for the background color.
@mehcuda67
You can use the strainer/colander technique which is probably best if your second guessing yourself. Search YouTube, I typed in paint strainer art and it pulled up a bunch of different videos on how to do it.
Is today’s sidedeal (UV phone holder) the same as yesterday’s? By today’s I mean the one that just went up as not started yet, i.e. it activates tomorrow morning.
@hchavers yeah, silly creative types wasting valuable time!
Oooh a marathon sale of junk I don’t need on a website notorious for selling junk I don’t need. I know what I’m doing today!
@katylava There are other ways to make the little cells than with the oil, so if you do a test pour and don’t get them, do a Google search for other ways. I know some people use glue, but I don’t remember the specifics.
@katylava “Premixed” means it’s got flow medium (floetrol or whatever) mixed in. I don’t think you want cell effects in every color, so you’d need to supply your own additives for that.

This is a great pandemic activity.

@alacrity Well, At least your shit will interestingly colored…

@show_the_maw <zoidberg> One Art please! </zoidberg>
Does this require any artistic talent? I just want to know how low to set my expectations.
@mehcuda67 You never know… You might just be the next Jackson Pollack!

@mehcuda67 nope. I’ve done this. I just picked out some colors and followed instructions

@Jebbielax thanks for talking me out of it! Lol

What gives?!? There’s no power plugs on these at all!

@GLaDOS You have to pour your own Bluetooth.
I fail to understand the importance of art when humanity is facing bio and geo catastrophes.
@hchavers yeah, silly creative types wasting valuable time!
Oooh a marathon sale of junk I don’t need on a website notorious for selling junk I don’t need. I know what I’m doing today!
@hchavers well for one it relieves stress, which means you are better able to emotionally handle whatever comes next
@hchavers Indeed, bio- and geo-catastrophes are on the horizon. But not the kind you’re expecting. (Be prepared to meet your Maker.)
@hchavers if you do anything for fun stop it then.
@hchavers I fail to understand the value of acting like a git in the comments section of a flea market website when there are disasters going on.
@hchavers just wait, is this performance art? I have trouble sorting through sarcasm and irony these days.
What’s the thread count on these? What’s the power output? Do these stop the virus?
When I did this we also needed some silicone oil to get the right effect. Does the premixed paint include that?
@katylava There are other ways to make the little cells than with the oil, so if you do a test pour and don’t get them, do a Google search for other ways. I know some people use glue, but I don’t remember the specifics.

The gloves appear to have dismembered hands already occupying them. If this is indeed the case, I’m in!
@frankefresh you drive a hard bargain
Birthday gift for my art-student niece! BOOM!
There are a ton of videos of acrylic pours on youtube, but my family watches the Evan and Katelyn channel.
Can I paint naked people?
@pmarin Should probably ask them first.
I really want to get this for my daughter… but I just refinanced my house and had to pay cash at closing so I’m a little short
/giphy empty pockets
I thought about it all day, and finally went to buy it and there’s only opal left! Luckily that’s the one I wanted
/giphy private-assorted-bagel
Finally got around to using these. Disappointed that I ordered one of each color set and got three of the same.
But, easy to use and fun.
