So this is really interesting because at the point where you had finished stretching and everything looked wonky is the point where I would scrape, thinking the cells can't possibly look good, but now I know my mistake...no patience at all on my part LOL...who knew nice cells could still happen and create a beautiful painting?...I didn't...Thanks Michelle for sharing this video....you're really very good at this and you're also quite funny!♥

I tried using Liquitex gouache and it worked great! Sky blue (Of course a blue) Probably works because it’s such a serious opaque paint.

@vegasmainiac7745 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Michelle! This is the video I've been waiting for. Oddly enough I ordered the correct ingredients 2 days ago so I dove right in. Well, it pearled a little but I watched for the 3rd time a realized I didn't add gac and pouring medium to my puddle paint! Ugh!! And I'm pretty sure my base was still too thick so I'm gonna keep trying until I get it! You are amazing❤

@gratefulcreations 2 жыл бұрын

Ya…not sure if you noticed that most of the video was thinning out the paint. Crucial. Next to vertical tilt. Wow…this sounds like the Olympics!! Lol 😅

@emilyflotilla931 2 жыл бұрын

Lovely! Lovely! I've been on a no more paints mode until I use up a lot of what I have already. Any blues you can suggest by Liquitex Basics you can suggest? Have you tried the Colbalt Blue Metallic?

@susanbrocksmith4255 7 ай бұрын

Ahhh okay, I was using too many decoart metallics! This was tremendously helpful, thank you! What if you want something other than a black, white or gray base? Since we use artist loft white or black I’ve had problems with everything turning pastel…

Gorgeous, Michelle! Great idea for the center….I would have probably poured over it. About your recipe….you can’t get these pearls results with Amy other recipe? Just curious! I am amazed and appreciative of the time you take in searching for the right recipe. Thank you!! 💐

@gratefulcreations 2 жыл бұрын

Oh sweetie!! There are so many recipes. And they have different results. This is my fave, Sara Taylor and I worked hard on it. but the satin enamel white from behr is close. The 7050. Give it a try. You may be able to get a sample at Home Depot do you’re not investing that much into it. Thin consistency and vertical tilting is paramount

@susanbrocksmith4255 7 ай бұрын

This is such a great video as I’m a newbie, but I wish it was redone so I could see the recipe next to the products better. Idk why this technique feels so intimidating to me, but it does 😂it confuses me

@deborahlofgran5636 7 ай бұрын

So beautiful!! The paint fluid test did not show up on the video. Were both the white pearl and the Venetian paints flow at the same rate? or was the white thinner?

Instead of using 1 oz of Behr 7300 as a substitute for the Deco Art S.E , have you tried substituting another oz of the Behr 7050?

@LottieOfWales Жыл бұрын

Beautiful painting! As always. Would you please put a link to the behr paint? I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find it. I even scoured Home Depot. Thank you!

@gratefulcreations Жыл бұрын

It’s Behr 7300. They don’t list it on the website. You have to go into the store and just take it off the shelf. It doesn’t have pigment in it, so the associates don’t realize you’re tinting it yourself. And I’ve never been able to order online for pick up, I used to live in Michigan….Royal oak

@laraehicks7932 2 жыл бұрын

I watched your video on how to get the perfect pearls, very good. I have been trying but all I get is vert small pearls. So could you explain what determines the size and amount of pearls? Also is there a substitute for GAC 800, it is hard to get and very expensive. Thanks for you help.

@gratefulcreations 2 жыл бұрын

Golden color gloss medium is a great substitute for both the GAC800 and liquitex pouring medium. Just a dab will do ya. You’ll get larger pearls with thinner paint. Hope you’ll try this recipe and have success. .

@laraehicks7932 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the advice I will try it. I don’t think I can get my paints much thinner without the paint just running off but I will try. Thanx again.

@TreesieParadisArt 2 жыл бұрын

Michelle, I’m going to tackle your recipe today but I have a quick question…can I use the Behr 8300 instead of the 7300, because that’s all I have? I just don’t want to mix it all up for it not to work if it’s better to just wait until I can get the 7300 this weekend. Thank you so much for all your help!! Much love, Treesie💐💝💐

@gratefulcreations 2 жыл бұрын

Yes…you can. It’s a bit thicker so you may need to adjust the water.

Hi Michelle this is Lilly I watch you all the time does that mean that you have to prepare the color ones the same way to have the same consistency

@gratefulcreations 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. I did a drip test to compare the colors to the base. Now it’s ok to have your base just slightly thinner but not by much

Michelle…did you know that Amazon just put out “the Original” Artist Loft Flow (2) bottles for $25 …they stated the Original highlighted in the title twice …The AL Soft is also listed…thought of your dislike for the Soft..I was in shock when I saw it was back…They Heard You.😃

@gratefulcreations 2 жыл бұрын

Ahhh yes!!! I ordered it. It’s not the original. It’s the 2021. I ordered from eBay and it came from Amazon. I made sure I asked if it was the 2019. They didn’t know. But they were advertising it as original. I sent it back with a bad review and told them they were misrepresenting what they were offering.
