I have to say again that you are the best at demonstrating all things bloom. I’m binging your you tube and getting so much better because of your tutorials. I watch over and over , I appreciate your videos. Things are finally starting to click into place. 👍😁
It is very generous of, you because I've taken the course and still struggle, here you go into minutiae and these details makes a great different. Thanks again.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to see you here on TH-cam, Mitchell! You are genius and a huge asset to us! Thank you for taking your time, you will be VERY popular!!
Loving your tutorials. I've have watched them out of order but that has not mattered. eg. 7, 8, 6. So much information. I love them all. Thank you, Mitch.
Thank you so very much. This most helpful bloom mixing video I have seen. It helped me to discover that my pillow paint is to thin and that I can save it without running out and buying another can.
I’m so happy to have found your videos! You are so calm and clear. I feel reignited so, video #7 next and then I’m going to mix up some paint ready for my day off work tomorrow!!! Hooray! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ⭐️👍
So glad you did this video. I'm getting back into blooms after a 2 year hiatus from them. Tried some colored Oops paint but didn't know how to thicken it. You're a lifesaver Mitchell 👍❤ See you over in the group. Been a member there since the start.
Thanks so much! I just checked my pillow & had no idea it was so thin. I'm using Glidden eggshell for my pillow. I added Infiniy untinted base and some Behr untinted. I live in SW Florida.
I’m so glad you posted this video on the FB group. I’ve been looking for your TH-cam channel since your live TLP color reveal. Your presentation skills are awesome, thank you so much!
During my second viewing I caught something...sometimes when I'm mixing a tube paint w a pm i see or think i see a lump. Does that actually happen if I'm mixing too aggressively?
You can absolutely have lumps of paint if you don't mix them thoroughly enough! I do every now and then but using the Fluid Art Co paint blender really helps to prevent that :) It makes mixing my paints so much quicker and easier now and I know there'll be no lumps in there.
Gracias Mitch!! muy buena instruccion, claro y concreto, eso ayuda mucho. Y muy buenas las muestras que haces de lo que estas explicando... y tambien valoro el esfuerzo por cuidar el enfoque de tu camara!! no se pierde nada importante... Pero sobre todo, agradezco que actives los subtitulos para poder poner en español, eso vale oro!!! Graciaaaas!!!
Very helpful - thank you! My Behr 8300 is extremely thick and I made two different versions of PM yesterday (with JoSonja) and felt I was adding too much varnish to thin it out. Going to adjust today with SW infinity per Debra’s suggestion.
Thank you for your video, I've already spent thousands on paint and excesseries, I've got floetrol that doesn't work, from the UK, Floetrol from Austrailia (a gold bar would have been cheaper) I have a variety of paints to the well known to the school paints, I've stuck to well known brands so far but I'll experiment with it later. I've had help along the way from some very kind people but my work hasn't been consistently good origen close but I'll get there, I will take the course and see if that improves my paintings. Thank you
Thanks for the video! This is what I understand from the video. The pillow paint (5-6 seconds) is thicker than the pouring medium paint (2-3 seconds). Is the cell activator thicker or thinner than the pouring medium paint?
Yes that's correct :) each layer you float on top should be thinner than the last. The cell activator consistency is shown in my other video 'Experiment Time' if you need to see that one :)
Mucous might be a better alternative to snot, just a suggestion of course! I’m loving your information though. Your explanation is better than what I have watched from all the others over here in America. Women paint pour jump around and aren’t to confident. They seem like they are guessing, which is confusing. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the feedback! The aim of my channel is to really break down and explain one or two topics per video so its easily digestible and relatable . I'm glad I'm succeeding there :)
My paints were made with Varathane triple thick and Behr 3300 and they are too thick. I am afraid to thin them with Josonja because if they have too much varnish, won't my cells disappear?
I am in the US and I use Sherwin Williams color to go, in various colors and Valspar ultra untinted base and neither are that thick. I may need to get a gloss gel. 🤔
Just subscribed. Wow, this is a very thorough visual and great camera view of Pillow and PM consistencies explained perfectly !!! Thank you. I'm in USA, tried many of the recommended pillow paints in our course handbook ). My PM always seems thicker. I'll try adding the Golden Medium gel gloss that I have. I thinned out my Aussie CA by adding more CA, I'll blow - then see everything pull back towards the center... then it seems just too thick & I'm blowing the heck out of the puddle to move it ! My blow is great (per Debra) , colors are the same consistency. Its a crap shoot whether I get those nice cells - most times tiny cells & lacing. If I use a straw, then I can see cells beneath but then the pillow ends up coming through. any thoughts ? Thank you....
It really is all down to getting the consistency perfect, and certain pillow paints just work far better than others. If your pillow is too thick don't go adding any gel mediums to it as that will make them thicker. Try adding GAC800 to thin it down a touch, or just some water will also do the trick. You could also use your American floetrol to thin it down as that won't react with the Australian stuff in the CA. Once you figure out that perfect balance and can pinpoint what's causing the nice cells rather than the crappy ones it becomes far easier to replicate across all colours and pours. Just keep practicing!
Thank you, you really know all this very well !!! my pillow paint is never too thick - if anything, no matter what paint on the recommended USA list that I use, it is too thin ! This morning, I tried to thicken my pillow with my untinted paint Behr8300 (thick and similar gel quality to what you showed in this video) but then nothing spread out with the blow ! It was a tug of war to get that paint to move !
Is the untinted paint the same as flat white or a flat paint in eggshell base. I'm in Mexico and this is what I'm being told. Do you suggest something else I can use?
No it definitely is not. It is untinted meaning there is no pigment at all added to the paint. If it says white anywhere on the label it will have titanium white pigment in it and dull your colours. What you will need to do is ask for a paint that will dry clear if you don't have it tinted. Often those will be labelled as 'Base C' or 'Ultra Deep Base' and that's what you are looking for
I just stumbled across your videos and definitely a happy accident. I subscribed after 5 minutes of watching. Explaining mixing/consistency in an easy to understand way, living in Australia myself, means I'm luckily familar with the products listed. Some I already use. I've watched so many vids on acrylic pouring that I too much information and that leads to confusion. Yet in two of your videos I have acquired the necessary teaching to have a better grasp on the basics. I may have missed it, but when is the best time to add Australian Floetrol to the mix? many thanks for taking the time to share your learnings with us
Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad I could help! The floetrol is only for your Cell Activator and does not go in any other layers. in my video Experiment Time I show the correct consistency for my CA at about the 30 minute point :)
You should be able to as long as there is no other Owatrol specifically in the rest of the bloom. Different paints from different countries will behave differently so all I can speak for are the ones I've personally used. But give it a go and if it works that's a bonus for you :)
Thanks Mitch! This was helpfull a lot. Ive heard from someone in the group like it should be 3 sec for pillow, 1 sec for PM and 0 for CA. Maybe this is the reason I didnt have a good results. Also, it would be nice to know, should we add Jo Sonja and untinted paint to tube paints the same like you said for pigments?? Thanks again for sharing this video :)
That's what I used to recommend but have since found its way too thin. Something has changed in our paints in Australia and makes that thinner consistency harder to work with. Thickening it up a little makes it much more workable
This was so helpful. Thank you! My pillow was definitely too thin. When I add tube paint colors to the PM, It thickens up. Should I be adding Jo Sonja varnish to get the consistency back to what the pouring medium was on its own, 2-3 second trace?
Great video. Question- I saw a guide you posted somewhere that listed troubleshooting for many failed blooms such as small cells , CA not moving, etc. I thought I saw it on Shelee's FB page but cannot find it. I'd like to print it out. Can you direct me to where I can locate it? My issue now is very tiny lacing & equally tiny cells. I'm using a new Pillow and paints are all same consistency... Thank you so much...
I get mine from Amazon. The brand changes based on availability so you'll have to look for yourself. Just look for 12" stainless steel cake turntable and it'll show up :)
Thanks for this video, it's so helpful. I've subscribed.😉 I'm also in Australia (Perth, WA)and it's been a task, or impossible, to find the ingredients listed in most videos (which are mainly UK, Can or USA brands, unavailable in Aust). Also, I asked for an UNTINTED paint at Bunnings which he assured me was untinted & it even says so on the pot, but it's NOT and has turned my pigments to pastels.🤦♀️ It comes out white too, not a cream/Ivory colour like yours. I've wasted so much Jo Sonja's, and pigments only to have to throw them out.😔😤 Are you able to recommend where I could buy Taubman's untinted paint? Tyia. 👍
Hi Susanne, I live in Bunbury WA and got the Taubmans easy coat interior doors and trims from bunnings, It needs to be Neutral not a colour base. I hope this helps you good luck.
The Josonja is preferred as it's thicker and gives the best results, but you can use Velljo varnish or Liquitex if you've got it, just don't use the High Gloss Liquitex as it's too thick and glossy .
Hello Mitchell!, I just discovered you and I have been delighted by your videos and your way of explaining, (I have only seen three, and I have just subscribed) I have discovered that I do many things wrong in blooms, especially when blowing. .. talking about PM consistency you thin it out by adding varnish, the paint that I use must be too thick because the consistency is very thick, it is untinted base paint and I add polyurethane varnish, a ratio of 2:1. I have been looking for the correct consistency by adding water. The problem is that when doing the flowering, only cells appear in the middle and a slight cord, I ask, what am I doing wrong? Is it because of the water? I would be very grateful if you could advise me. Greetings. 😊
Thanks so much for the sub! You can definitely add water as I do as well, it's the overall difference in consistency between the PM and CA that makes it work. What untinted paint are you using?
@@rainandpours I am using a spanish brand untinted house paint base 3, because the ones you all use here in Spain are not available. I'm afraid that must be the problem, I'm telling you, I only get a few tiny cells and very few lacing.
Hi! Thank you! I’m in the middle of the course and keep getting stuck on this part. If I’m using TLP, I add the pillow first, then the Pm? Then CA? And colors on top? Oy, I’m getting so confused. Thank you
@@rainandpours Funny, I just finished watching this and here it is again. Thanks. Another suggestion made was to cover the pieces to slow down the drying time (and I created a less dry air condition). Thank you for a good explanation of the problem.
I’m watching this again, trying to get all this ‘right’. I swear……to me…….your untinted base (PM), looks thicker than your pillow. The surfaces, in the bowls, well………the pillow looks nice and smooth and the PM looks……….wavy. I would have thinned my PM out just cause it looks thicker to me. But your stuff is perfect. I’m way too heavy handed……………with everything.
The pure untinted paint is waaaaay thicker than the pillow. I always adjust my consistency after I've added my paints as those will affect it as well. Stick to the 6 second trace for pillow and 2 second for PM and you'll be good :)
@@rainandpours I’d love to see, video or………., you final PM + paint thickness. Is it in a YT video? I’ll keep searching your videos for this. Thanks Mitch for everything. I really appreciate all you do and teach us.

Haha my apologies! It's the only other thing besides condensed milk I can like the consistency to! 🤣🤣🤣
Can you tell me what make the CA widen into big gullies when it dries?
Too much pillow left on and pillow too thick. Means the top layers will dry first and form a skin and as the rest dries it pulls apart at the CA
