HOW TO - Minamalist Monochromatic Cloud Pour - And the Don’ts (they’re first)
Wow guys!! I’m so excited!! My friend and talented artist, Lori Cleary sent me to Sarah Taylor’s channel. I binge watched her and saw the collaboration with Dwight Myers (Dwight Pour). Both are talented and I can tell they are super cool!!
Here’s a link to their respective channels:

I’m mesmerized by the cloud pour and cloud mix lately!! The cells.....ooh la la!!
This video shows the dont’s first, then the right way to do it!! I don’t mind making mistakes, it helps me learn and grow as an artist. And I don’t mind making mistakes so you don’t have to!!
Consistency is absolutely KEY here!! Super thin!! Like not even a bit of a trace. On the first one, there was way too much base paint, the colors had a slight trace so they sunk and disappeared completely. And it looks like some just didn’t work well at all.
The base paint (cloud mix) has to match the colors consistency. Testing them on a card would be the best bet.
In the end, I used modern masters in Venetian blue with Goldens Prussian blue hue and anthricrinome blue.
Sarah mentions in on of her videos that modern masters metallics cell. Thanks Sarah
