Paint + Water with only 3 drops of silicone! WOW! Abstract Fluid Art

Today I am doing a straight pour to use up some of my paints but I am adding three drops of silicone oil to see how they react without any type of pouring medium. I am sure they will produce some lovely cells but I am also going to talk about layering and how I layer my paints in a cup.

▶ Color Palette:
Amsterdam: Deep Olive, Light Rose, Perm Red Violet
Pebeo: Iridescent Gold, Iridescent Violet Blue.

Such a cheerful little creation, I love it ❤. The colours are beautiful, no muddy lines at all and the gold & silicone created great cells. Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic Mark. It reminds me of a wild meadow of flowers. Just love it! 3:50 3:52

Woooow, Mark, those cells are amazing. The colours remind me of a pasture full of summer flowers. What a beautiful piece! I am amazed by the design which doesn't have any muddy brown mix colours. Great job 🖒💖

Beautiful color combo with playful “flowers”❤

[OnBeingFurnando]

Thank you for using GREEN! So rare to see that color used! I love this. So pretty!

[dlovely]

Gorgeous! I am definitely partial to pink and that piece is beautiful. I love how the cells emerged with the use of the torch and it is amazing you only used three drops of the oil. Great video. Thank you. Denise ❤

[Janisel-cl]

It absolutely does look like flowers! Brilliant!

[NicolaNewlyn]

Hi Mark, this is absolutely stunning I love it, the silicon oil wow what a beautiful result, I can’t wait to have a go myself.
Thank you 😊 🎨

[MT-bcwe]

So beautiful indeed. It reminds me of the Italian art glass style known as Millefiori or Murrine. It is amazing how only 3 drops of silicone can create so many cells. I love it.

gorgeous piece Mark!! I love using leftover paints. New MEMBER!!! 💙💙💚💚😲😲

[cathycamden]

You are amazing…….., each piece is so original and I love the way you use different techniques and your color combinations.. Also, really enjoy your genuine warmth and calmness.❤🎉

[marciahershkowitz]

Very beautiful! Big difference just using silicone in one color. The circles accentuate without looking repitilian. I enjoy your videos. Yes I would like to try this.

I see a flower with some petals being blown off on a sunny day. The cells (petals) are absolutely gorgeous and only having silicone in one color led to some beautiful color combinations! On a practical note, I love that you pre-paint the sides. I know that all good artists make sure they have coverage, but the OC in me is screaming, “Your corner! You missed your back corner!” 🙄 Also, I really like that you allowed the last of the paint be allowed to show its magic - instead of going to the landfill. They certainly didn’t disappoint today!

[carlabeel]

I forgot about using oil to get cells 😮
This dried beautifully!

[KelliSmith-mjhc]

Beautiful! The colors are glorious. Try this on a larger canvas. ❤

[sandranaylor]

I wasn’t sure at first, but wow it’s beautiful. I’d love to see you do more with the silicone 👍
