The Shelee Art bloom technique is a fan favorite. I've started a mini series (check out the first episode: • Shelee Art BLOOM HACK!... ) In this video we're created a pouring medium using no house paints and cell activator with no Australian floetrol. There is a lot of info in the video so here are some thoughts and questions I answer throughout:
- ONE SIMPLE INGREDIENT THAT COULD BE DESTROYING YOUR CELLS
- Challenges with fading cell activator
- Are your colors looking washed out?
- How to extend the life of your cell activator using American Floetrol
- How can I further this experiment?
- Thinning American Floetrol

** Pros and Cons **
New Pouring Medium (1:1) and a small bit of Super heavy gloss gel medium: American Floetrol is readily available in many places. ‪@MixedMediaGirl‬ Pouring medium is made by a small business (support small businesses) and maybe available worldwide.
Homemade base paint (pillow) Recipe by volume: 7 Ounces American Floetrol | 4 Ounces Artist Loft Soft Body (I misspoke in the video and said 3) | 1 Ounce of Amsterdam Titanium White | 1 Ounce of Jo Sonja Gloss Varnish
I found this pouring medium to have more bubbles than other recipes. It may be necessary to let your paints rest a bit longer. This recipe is specific to tube paints (beginner to intermediate paints) like Amsterdam and Master's Touch. The halo reaction doesn't' show nearly as much with this recipe.
Minwax Pre-Stain Conditioner is toxic. Please use this product in a well ventilated area.
