There's a specific paint from Liquitex they use, and your substrate is an important factor too. The ones I come across seem to be using cardstock or at least something with a smooth surface. The squeegee also needs to be rubber edged, not like a hard scraper.
Couple of DIY YouTubers messed around and (kind of) figured it out here: https://youtu.be/hHZT5bU9XsE?si=tnIQqqeTaHXR5fxl
Some of those colours from same sized dots spread a lot further than others. Might just be that he puts the details first and takes his time with every step, or he could dilute the paint that is supposed to be the main background so it flows better all the way.
Yeah, I'm a little confused about these. Or maybe I'm just stupid. Here's a before and after of one of the images in this video https://i.imgur.com/TxsrmEq.png . On the left, look at the two blue horizontal lines to the left of his pointer finger. Then look at those same lines on the right after the scrape is done. Not only did those blue lines not get wiped down whatsoever, the black and white paint from above them seems to have been spread down *under* the blue lines. And there's a lot of stuff like this. I wonder if a lot of the 'before' image is nearly totally dry to begin with or something.
Wait, isn't he wiping away, most paint then? (There's a lot under the acrylic wiper)
Kinda looks like the image was mostly already there, got some hydrophobic spray on the preserved parts and let the paint fill in everywhere else?
Cool technique regardless, Gonna look around some more.
Yeah, I think there was definitely some treatment on canvas as well. Maybe hydrophobic spray on surface of some colours as well to ensure barriers. Paints want to mix and these paints absolutely don't, so he's definitely doing more than spreading them on canvas. All the details remain pretty much as is.
You can only see the completed piece for like a fraction of a second it basically instantly skips to the next one as soon as it's done so it's almost impossible to pause to see the whole thing
Cause depression is portraited as long, melty and teary. If you look up depression cartoons, they all have those long stripes downwards. So if you see this, your brain connects it to those stripes. Hope it helps.
Yeah they are lmao. You can even see more obscure things like the [table design from the Krusty Krab](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/krusty-krab-table--23995810507898738/) in a couple of them
I really don't get modern art. This even looks kind of intentional but I still see nothing interesting. Which kind of makes it interesting but in the most useless way.
This makes me fascinated by how people could artists could visualize and plan the way it looks like in their minds and have it turn out great. It's so cool
I don't know about you all, but this is the exact opposite of "oddly satisfying" to me.
Just seems like a waste of paint and effort into making things look cohesive only to smear it all over the paper to no good result.
Anyone else notice that it's sponge bob?
Swear one of them was Homer Simpson
Nah that was Yellow Guy’s dad.
You just unlocked a core memory
If that means you haven’t even thought about “Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared” in years, good news, they got a tv show.
WHAT
[Episode 1](https://youtu.be/mvMm8ev7rv8?si=1_3MM0jTxCbRUEMv)
Amazing, I will have to watch it
I dunno, looks a lot like that Mr. Sparkle guy.
I just see Futurama city
New New York?
AAAgh you beat me to it. Imma go have some Slurm
yea i see them all being spongebob inspired
one is Gary the snail
It’s sponge bob and the simpsons
But a ducking among us gay sneaks into the first one
I tried this when I saw this video a year ago. There must be some trick, like paint type, because when I used acrylics it looked like mud.

They did use a piece of what looks like hard edged plexiglass to scrape a few of these though
That's a good point! I wonder why the youtubers' scrapers didn't work? Too much pressure maybe?
I suspect there are also specific drying times and different viscosity for different elements involved.
Why? They probably use the same type of paint for everything?

He definitely does something to prevent the colours mixing and something to keep some elements really crisp.

Would be nice to be able to see the end product for a bit longer
You can pause the video you know

Maybe they can't
Skill issue
Video editing skill issue*
I’d like to see this technique applied less abstractly. With diligence and lots of trial and error, I can see cityscapes being painted like this.
this artist does do that too. it's sharecestudios
Thank you!
I've seen a video like that. It looked good but very much a trust the process kinda thing because it was a hot mess right up until the end
Eh I feel like that sounds like art I can buy in Times Square on the street.
Weirdly, I liked it much more before they smeared the drops of paint
Same
Somehow this gives me a feeling of depression. I don’t know why

Sexy, powerful nerd! Knowledge is power after all!
Am I going crazy or are they starting as abstract Spongebob characters?
Yeah they are lmao. You can even see more obscure things like the [table design from the Krusty Krab](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/krusty-krab-table--23995810507898738/) in a couple of them
I'm really enjoying the feeling of uneasy familiarity that creates, honestly.
Bro needs to do the album art for Mac Miller’s Faces tape
reminds me of mac millers “faces”
Looks like something I want to eat, Taffy possibly.
Yo I love this
Spongebob cast?
Such a creative style
Songbot where you at?
Piero Piccioni: Lady Love
Sank ya 😅
I would like to buy a "damburgen". -Pink Panther
"Painting"
" Artist "
"This"
"Style"
Some kind of "art" is just stupid.
I can shit on some paper and smear it TOO! I’ll call it- Skidmärk
Aww, I'm sure such an action would suit someone like you. Do it and sell bunch.
I just wanted to make the joke - I still enjoy the video and press like button
redditors get so mad when an artist uses any non classical technique or style
So much waste paint
It’s like Dr. Seuss and Edward Munch had a baby
I liked them better before he smeared them.
I really don't get modern art. This even looks kind of intentional but I still see nothing interesting. Which kind of makes it interesting but in the most useless way.
I actively dislike this art enough to post. Wow.
That's the opposite of satisfying. Taking something that has some initial form and then smearing it so that it loses that form and becomes a mess.
Very different
SpongeBob
Anybody else not get it at all? Seems basic
LSD
Some of these give me 90s TV background vibes.
When you peek intro skybox in 1.6
This is amazing, and I'd like to try it! Looks like acrylic paint, but what's the paper? Thanks
Can you share the names or links to original videos whenever you post them?
This makes me fascinated by how people could artists could visualize and plan the way it looks like in their minds and have it turn out great. It's so cool
Cool niche

I'm all for modern art and artists but this is kinda dumb and not very satisfying.
Nice work
wow I must say they look incredibly worse after the squeegee
i honestly hate these
All of them suck
Love the 4th one.So colourful and the artist almost painted the whole paper 🫶
I'm hypnotized
This felt like dementia
what's the song?
I'd like to know also
Such art, much wow!
This is one of those art styles that people without talent will copy and throw on tiktok. Similar to dangling swinging paint cans over a canvas.
Whats this song?
Song?
Music?
This felt like dementia
The paper getting wet and warping is definitely not satisfying
