You’re welcome Catherine, I’m glad it helped 🤗. I’ve been to the keys many times when I lived down there so I understand the scarcity of those stores on that stretch! There’s a lot of other bases that will work just as well besides what I have tested here but as long as you can understand the concept you can make a lot of things work. Have fun! 💜💜

@ThePaintedDreamer 2 жыл бұрын

NOTE: If you can’t find these brands or are in a different country the components you want are an untinted base house paint (base c or d, base 3 or 4 whichever is lowest, deep base or ultra deep base or neutral base) plus a water based polyurethane gloss varnish to make up your Pouring Medium. If you want to try a more traditional pouring medium base because you can’t get certain components, TOTALLY go for it and give it a try 😃 it’s YOUR Art after all! 💜 Another Note: You don't have to use the Behr in this mix you can totally just use the Infinity with the Jo Sonja Varnish at 4:1. You could also just use the Behr as well but it can get very slippery by itself and weird out your cells which is why I would use another untinted base with it to cut down on the meandering ways the Behr can be.

Thank you so much for your video! I went out today and bought Behr high gloss enamel paint but I picked up the "ultra pure white" instead of the deep base. Should I return it? Or should I use it up for white background only?

@ThePaintedDreamer 2 жыл бұрын

You’re welcome Suzanne! I would return it you want the deep base. Using a high gloss for your base pillow that floats your colors may mess with the gloss that’s already in your pouring medium. 💜

This was an excellent and very informative video, Jodie. Thank you for taking the time to compare these recipes for all of us. Now, once again, I'm wishing that the Behr we have in California was the same as what you use, but I guess I can try my own comparisons to see how the Behr I have compares to using just the Infinity and JS. This was very helpful!!

I’m so glad it was helpful Kimberly! Originally I was hearing that the 2-8300 was the same but now I’m hearing it is not the same as the 8300 we get outside of California. If you do end up getting a quart of it to test out, let me know your thoughts on it and how you like it, I’m super curious! ☺️

@@ThePaintedDreamer Unfortunately, I bought a gallon of the Behr 2-8300 early on, when we all thought it was the same. I'be been using it with your 2:1:1 ratio of Behr to Glidden to One Coat, but I've been disappointed with my cells, so I'm going to try just the Infinity/Jo Sonja this week to see if I fare any better. Though, I was really loving the sparkle and bling that your Behr gave to the paints and pigments in your video! You are much appreciated!

I got the Glidden semi gloss when u opened it, it was soooo thick and clumpy. I stirred it up alot. I can I make my consistency smoother?

@ThePaintedDreamer 3 жыл бұрын

Sometimes it just needs to be stirred until your arm falls off, no joke, it depends how long it’s been sitting on the shelf. Some of the cans separate so much you feel like they will never incorporate. It should be running off your stick smooth and not clumpy at all. If after incorporating the can it’s still clumpy take it back, the can or batch is bad. I had this happen with a brand from Lowe’s. I took it back and went to a different Lowe’s for another can. It did the same thing so I think it was just that paint. Glidden Premium shouldn’t be clumpy.

Hi Jody, thanks for sharing! It was a great help. The EU - where I live - is not really a “somewhere isolated island”, but most of the SheleeArt technic ingrediences are not available here. Don’t know why, but I think it has something to do with enviromental laws or restrictions. A satin Base C house paint i.e. is nowhere for sale, but I did find a Base C mat to experiment with. But buying Minwax or other components, thru Amazon costs a fortune and forever to get here from the other side of the pond or from Australia. But I did manage to get my hands on a JoSonja PU varnish. So I’m still not giving up and will keep experimenting with the paints they do sell here in Holland! Thanks for your help so far!

Thank you for taking into consideration that everyone doesn’t have the same resources to choose from nor the same funds available. Also, the measurement statement not to mix by weight was so helpful because on other types of pouring I’ve seen lots of videos that say mix by weight. Of course there are others that say, just eye ball it. That is scary to me! My judgment is not fail proof, nor are all of my containers all the same. So many variables for various techniques. So, all information distinctions are great. Thanks.

Jodi I must say you are my go to gal for bloom technique info. This will be my go to video for PM mixing. Love your tips and tricks on this video not to mention you references with Bling, Super Bling, and Dollips. One question I have is how long do you let your art pieces cure before you put resin on them. I know most of my other acrylic pours I let them sit from 4 to 6 weeks before I clean and resin them or varnish them. once again thank you so much for your shared knowledge on this technique. I have to admit this is not a cheap venture. I am hoping to finally get a decent results. I took the course way back when and just walked away from it as I just could not get it.

Do you use Amsterdam oxide black alone as cell activator? Or do i have to add flowtroll? What's the best way to do it?

@ThePaintedDreamer 2 жыл бұрын

For your cell activator with the blooms you typically want to use floetrol with the Amsterdam paint. The Australian floetrol is the magic sauce but the US floetrol can work with some additions. I did a video recently where I put both my US Floetrol cell activators head to head. Having said that if you are up to experimenting, I know some that have used Amsterdam paint and water and have been able to use that as a cell activator. I’ve not tried this so I don’t know how well it works but if you want to give that a go too 😃🤗💜

Thanks for all the information you give us, here in Australia, except for Floetrol of course it's quite difficult to get some of these products, or maybe the people in the relevant outlets are very uncooperative?

You’re welcome Jo! Since you are in Australia and this technique was created by Shelee who is in Australia you would actually be using the same products she uses. If that’s something that interests you I highly recommend her online class. It’s what I took to learn this but I had to adapt for US products except for the Australian floetrol which I have to import. I agree these designs would be awesome on clothing. Being able to retain the vibrancy is a challenge but with hi res images and the right printer may be possible. Thanks so much Jo! 🤗💜

Thanks so much Consuelo! To answer your question I have love/hate with the Behr. It is the clearest untinted paint ever however it is hard to work with by itself so I add a little bit of in to thicken paints up and use it in combo with other bases to get the benefit of it. You absolutely don’t have to use it. I really like the Infinity by itself but if my paints are a bit thin I’ll add in a little Behr to thicken them up. 😊

Hi Jodi! Thanks for this awesome tutorial! You strike me as having a very analytic mind, so was wondering if you have done an analysis on the function of all there chemicals, and what they do? Basically the science of what they do. It might be too involved but it is easy to get confused as a paint pouring wannabe. There definitely is a science to which properties need to be added in. KZfaq artists all seem to use different recipes of the same chemicals, so you have gone above and beyond explaining this for the bloom which you have perfected. Thanks again for an awesome presentation! Susi from Florida 🥰
