What is your favorite color to use as a base coat?

I watch a lot of paint pouring videos but I always come back to yours for practical information that’s hard to find anywhere else. You are an excellent teacher and you almost anticipate the questions us newbies are about to ask ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your curiosity about how things work in this world. Have a wonderful holiday!

Thank you so much! I did not know this, and your explanation is so clear again thank you!😊

You're an excellent teacher!!! I always use a basecoat as I feel the colurs stay brighter and I don't lose pieces of the painting as I do without! Thank you so much for all your tutorials 💗 💓 💖

I'm new to pouring and your videos answer so many of my questions. Please keep posting your educational videos. They are gems. I understand a lot more about base coats after watching your tutorial. Now I wonder how much paint should be on a base coat. I know that different pours require different base coat thickness but its kind of guessing how much paint to put on the canvas- not as much for swipes vs more for flip cups etc.

So interesting and entertaining, as usual!

If only you could make & sell the item you made that has the bars on the top & then paint drips down into a big plastic tub!
Unfortunately, I can’t make one by myself due to inability to use any power tool!
Think it’s just a great idea & could come in different sizes with silicone strips on the bars so pour won’t stick!

do you add a layer of gesso to all canvases before starting? or just fresh out the packaging?

I like how you tell us the tricks to the trade, not many people do, its like a big secret...I also like how you have answered everybody's comments on here.

Here's what I need to learn: How to stop tilting my tablet in keeping with you tilting the canvases when I watch your videos. 🤪

I’ve been wondering about base coats for a while so thanks for this video. Also, just want to say that I love ur vids. I’m also not a creative person but came to pouring just as you described. Getting tips from you often feels like you were in the room with me watching my learning processes. Now I get why. I appreciate your vids a great deal and learn a lot from you. Thanks!

I'm brand new to Pouring. You really simplified the basics, much appreciated.

As a teacher, I love your motto: "Let's learning together". Love it! Love the channel .

Using an "edge catcher" would also save the edge colors since you could "ricochet" the paint back on the canvas.(See Expressionist's Art Studio)

[dorothyjkalthoff]

I learned quite a bit by this video, thank you so much.

I am new and have not tried this yet, but am fascinated with this type of art. Your videos are very easy to follow and to understand. I can’t wait to get started😎

You really should look into manufacturing your own products
Like the rack you made. I'm going to Home Depot tomorrow to find something. I ordered silicone pads.
