@55sarajevo How about you fuck off hater! I see you have been calling every contemporary artist's work stupid..get a life dickhead!

nice video! i tried so many times to do it but paint not separating!!!!even used different white spirits..........and explanation video doesnt work(((HELP

[CapricornArtist73]

@vzhikable A simple tip- take a cloth with some olive oil or any other type of cooking oil. You can also use WD40. Put a very small amount of oil onto your cloth/rag and then wipe the entire surface of your painting. Then mix up your paint...add a little water to it so it becomes watery and then when you paint it over the surface it will split..because oil and water don´t mix! Hope that helps...your welcome to join my art social network loving mixed media. I share all of my techniques for free

I've tried this technique, but when I sprayed the turpentine over the acrylic paint it doesn't separate....I guess it's beacause both are water base so it has no effect. I'll appriciate if you could explain some more. Thanks a lot :)

[CapricornArtist73]

Yes a few other people have had trouble with this technique so i have posted a response video under the technique showing you a clearer step by step of the water techique!

@55sarajevo I believe it is spelt teaching, not techniq, or were you trying to say technique? It's very hard to understand stupid people on you tube. I'd like to see you paint better than him!

[kymrhymer]

Hi! I could use this as a texture to some painting I am going to paint and then paint on it some other objects but the problem is I don't use acrylics because I am a slow painter and I can't manage when the colors dries too fast. So I wanted to ask does this work vice-versa? ( For example, painting with oil and sprayin' it with water?)

[hsghatora]

good stuff and i think isoproponal is pretty neat as well, not sure about my spelling but give this a try as well., keep up the good work!

@55sarajevo His work is more imaginative than that "Motel Art" you've got on your channel.
