An understanding about pigment density and the specific gravity of paints and how you can use that info to help you create cells.
After being told in high school that she was so bad at art that she should switch to another subject, Deby didn’t paint again for 35 years. Then a stroke released a new wave of creativity and she began exploring with dot painting, abstract and eventually acrylic pouring, and at last the joy of working with color returned.
You don’t need ‘talent’ to be an acrylic pouring artist – just enthusiasm, some basic instruction, and a willingness to try, fail and try again. Paint along with her and learn from her many mistakes, and you’ll soon make great art together.
Oh my gosh I love this. Thank you!!!
I use resin in my acrylic paints but i am having a problem getting very big cells. Do you know what i am doing wrong?
I think because you are using resin you can’t expect to get the same results as if you were using paints. Resin is a totally different medium to work in, needs different techniques and different additives. You can use a product called Resi-blast to make cells. Check it out here http://amzn.to/2hAeaYn
You have finally explained what I wanted to know from other videos.
The Golden site that you referred to for the specific gravity of their paints is:

I am going to write down the specific gravity of all the Golden Fluid Acrylics I have then use that information as you did in this video.
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for doing this! This has helped so very much.
This was so clear! Probably saved me hours. Thank you!!!
The weight of the pigments was the most informational part of the video but, I don’t know if it had to do with the size of his canvas, I was disappointed with the size of the cells. I work with larger canvases and those cells wouldn’t show up or make an impact. Are there any other videos to show creating large cells? Thanks!
We do have a good blog post on the topic of creating larger cells. Check that out here
Az a kattogó pisztoly-szerű mini kompresszor,amely szétveti a cellákat,/babósz/mi a neve annak,és hol lehet hozzájutni?
So if you were doing a dirty pour…. would you reverse the order of the paints in your pour cup? (i.e., putting the Titan Buff on the bottom of the cup?)
I love cells. However, sometimes I do not want cells. Is there any way to produce a work without cells.
Yep, check out this post: https://acrylicpouring.com/how-not-to-get-cells/
Why did the blue paint crack?
