Hi Jodie. Funny I should find this new video, just when my AUF gets sent back. I spent all day yesterday using Am paints, USF experimenting, again, because I'm now using the bloom recipe for everything I do where my previous experiments were with glue and USF PM.. Funny, our test results were almost the same (way amazing to me). You did get a little better reaction with the white than I did, but nothing to really get excited about. I used AM oxide, red, titW and a local professional prussian blue, and Liquitex dioxine purple. In the end, I had to do the minwax mix to get anything usable, but the blue, purple, and black worked the best. Still not good for blooms. I added silicone and did get a better reaction, but haven't decided if I'll continue with it. I'm still mad as heck!! By the way, I took all day to do almost the same experiments as you, and you got yours done in under 40 minutes. Very impressive🤣😂. Thanks for all your help Jodie, You do a lot for everyone. I guess you're not in this for the money😝😂. See at your next video🤗❤

Ugh I’m still so sorry your floetrol got sent back that just stinks! I do have on my list for this year to experiment with non floetrol ingredients to make a cell activator for those that can’t get either floetrol. The US still works pretty good once you get it just how you want it. Does take some tweaking and persistence at first. That video took probably a couple hours but I had to edit it to be viewable so don’t feel bad. I still think Amsterdam paint is the best with US floetrol. Have you tried just Amsterdam paint and water? I haven’t yet but I’ve heard others have. That’s on my list too 😉🤗💜

I started to paint a few years ago but lost interest when Spring came. I'm somewhat familiar with the frutrol and paint, but the Australian is unknown to me. This was around the time it was getting quite popular on U-tube. I have started watching you and you have a great eye for color. What's the difference in them ( flutrols)?

@ThePaintedDreamer 2 жыл бұрын

The US floetrol and Australian floetrol while both made by Flood are made a little different due to the restrictions of ingredients in their respective countries so for cell activator purposes react a little differently. The Australian floetrol is sometimes called the magic sauce as it just cells up super easy. The US floetrol can too it just needs a bit more finagling and a few additional ingredients however I have gotten it to work at higher ratios of floetrol to Amsterdam paint. As a pouring medium they probably work pretty similar, I’ve only used the US for PM though but others use the Australian as PM and it seems to work equally as well. But since it’s so expensive for us to get here in the US I use the Australian strictly for cell activator. Hope this helps Linda! 💜

Maybe she will test the others you mentioned as well sometime though. 😃 The Atelier I've wondered about though because of the interactive aspect that you can use when doing regular paintings. 🤔 I wonder what difference that makes with pouring and whether it is still interactive after it dries after being mixed with the other ingredients. I haven't watched until the end though so maybe she mentions this later. 🤔

That’s a great question, there’s just something about that Amsterdam paint I think but I’ll test other paints along the way I just had this atelier on my mind because I have been loving it so much with the Australian floetrol I wanted to see how well it might work with the US floetrol. Even with the Australian floetrol there are still certain paints (even colors within a brand) that just don’t work well so I found it interesting that the white and the blue started to work pretty well but the black and the gold, not so much. 🤗

Both, when using the US floetrol I’m finding. Some colors work better than others like with this experiment with the atelier the blue and the white seemed to work the best. Having said that Amsterdam paint the brand has been known to work the best however there may be a few colors that don’t work as well in that line too.

On a scale of one to five, how thick is your paint? I can never tell exactly when I get the right consistency. Everything you do seems quite beautiful, First time I ate by eight canvas flew off the spinner. L O L

@ThePaintedDreamer 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not sure I can accurately answer that, some days it could be a 2, others a 3 and sometimes even 4 which is why I try to show the consistency of my paints at the beyond each video. Your consistencies don’t have to be exact there’s a range you can work with and it also depends on the environment you’re in. I’ve totally had my piece fly off the spinner, put some paint down on the dry spinner and then affix your piece to it. As you start spinning and the paint is flowing down it’ll stay put 🤗

For some reason that paint is just magic whatever it’s made of, works really well with both floetrols, different mediums and with just water. 😊

Jodie…I listened to a video from a man whose name I cannot remember. He has done much pouring art. Unless I misunderstood him, he basically said that the difference between Aussie floe troll and USF is that the former is thinner. I don’t know if adding a little water to USF would make a difference. Seems too simple.

@ThePaintedDreamer 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Lynda, well it is true that the Aussie floetrol is thinner than the US floetrol but the makeup of each floetrol is different as well due to the availability and restrictions on ingredients in each country. I did have to make it thinner here to get it to work better so you are on to something 😉. You do want to get the US floetrol thinner for sure I’m going to test your theory when I’m able, adding some water to the US floetrol and then go from there to see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion 🤗💜

Omg JODIE lol I've got sooo much to say and ask and thoughts on this video you really had an amazing video today I'm seriously about to watch it again and pause between each piece to make my comments just so it makes sense so you are going to have a bunch to read from me I hope that's cool but I had a lot of thoughts and curiousities in each piece that you did. I just LOVE the testing videos I swear I wish you would do a testing Tuesday atleast once a month just because I love them so much and theirs a million things you could do lol you know I'm your biggest fan just can't get enough!! Now it might take you 3 weeks to read this but before I start rewatching and reposting I'm curious about the water based minwax pre-stain and how it would react with American floetrol alone since Aussie floetrol is water based stain and paint conditioner and American floetrol is just paint conditioner I bet the mix if you found the right ratio would work exactly the same as Aussie floetrol. Let me know if you have tested it before please now off to start my list 😂

@cwv-artistry 2 жыл бұрын

Okay 1st piece absolutely no reaction without the pre-stain but I noticed something, in the areas where you first started your swipe that got the most cell activator is the only areas where you got good cell response so I'm curious if you was to put your cell activator on really thick if you would get better cell response? I'm still curious about the American floetrol by itself if you were to go both ways try it thicker than try it thinner because we know atelier works great in Aussie floetrol so I think it's something to be said about the thickness of the paint itself but seeing as more of the cell activator is causing better cells I think that means it needs more paint in order to create those cells. Ok that's it on the first piece on to the next 😂

@cwv-artistry 2 жыл бұрын

#2 again the areas that got the most cell activator seemed to react the best except with that white idk if maybe you put it on a bit thicker on your pallet knife but it had great cells all the way down and since thinning it seemed to help so much I'm curious if you used a 4:1 like you would with Aussie with the American floetrol and just thinned it with water if you would be able to get it to react without the minwax??

@ThePaintedDreamer 2 жыл бұрын

@ThePaintedDreamer 2 жыл бұрын

I see what you’re saying about the thicker paint but I kind of have to disagree only because the thinner I made the mixture the better it responded (even if it wasn’t the cells we were looking for). And then it was only the blue and the white that black and gold just fizzled out and that can happen. Not all paints work as CA with either floetrol some just suck period lol I found a few that suck with the Aussie floetrol even 🤣, but it’s rare. But having said that I think you’re in the right direction about maybe just more CA needs to be added because at the beginning of the swipe it responds more than at the end of it because there is less CA on at that point, if that makes sense.

2:1 Behr 3300/poly seems about right but how does it feel to you is it too thick or thin. I don’t have a ratio for paint to PM you need to look at your consistencies is it running off the stick smoothly or is it gloopy. There is not perfect recipe, you need to experiment with that you have and fine tune as you go. Amsterdam paint will work in your favor as that works really well with the US floetrol for cell activator. Start practicing and tweak as you go but also remember to have fun because this is what it’s all about 😊
