'Aurous' ~ Fluid Art Bloom Swipe Technique ~ Liquid Gold Series (136)

#acrylicpouring #fluidart #bloomtechnique
Hi guys! Thank you so much for being here 🥰
Today I'm working on a 12'' (30cm) round canvas.
The gold in this has inspired me to do a series named' Liquid Gold' so this is the first one. I might try a different brand of gold next time.
Base/Pillow: British Paints Brilliant White mixed with a splash of both Pebeo Bindex and GAC 800
Colours:
Pebeo Iridescent Precious Gold
Pearlex Interference Blue
#TLP (This Little Piggy)in Macaw
Matisse Ultramarine
Matisse Southern Ocean Blue
Atelier Cobalt Turquoise
No silicone added to any paints.
All colours and pigments mixed with untinted house paint and Jo Sonja gloss varnish.
Please see video #92 for how I mix my colours (both pigments and tubes).
• (92) How I Mix My Pain...
TLP (This Little Piggy) pigments can only be purchased directly from: fluid-art.co/
CA/ Swipe Colour: (I used two; Amsterdam Paynes Grey and Atelier Interactive Rich Gold, both mixed with Aussie Floetrol. I never measure ratios, I mix until it leaves a slight trace when drizzled from around and inch above the surface.
My style has changed and evolved dramatically since I took the Sheleeart E-Course and I can't recommend it enough!

Please try and watch the entire video, I try and always keep my videos under 20 minutes. I have a tip jar, it's definitely not expected, but if you'd like to tip any small amount would be greatly appreciated and will go towards buying more paint supplies. Thanks in advance it's: paypal.me/Nikidfluidart
My lazy susan is glass and 20'' which was purchased from Coles supermarket, they can also be sourced from variety/dollar stores. The heavier the spinner, the easier it will spin, I'd also suggest you get the largest one you can so you can easily use it for larger substrates too.
My metal spatulas are artist pallet knives, the smaller ones are from Mont Marte and the large one I use sometimes is a brand called The Art Studio and was bought from an independent art store.

Your ability to see (and define) fluid shapes within solid masses of color never ceases to amaze me. I've never before seen paint that was so visceral and sensual. And it's a living beauty; like butterfly wings. Just gorgeous work.

[@corinnecudicio9405]

Bonjour, Dans beaucoup de vos vidéos vous indiquez que vous n'ajoute pas de silicone et pourtant vous avez de magnifiques cellules. Lorsque vous mettez des activateurs de cellules (Floetrol ?) uniquement dans 1 ou 2 couleurs cela suffit doc à faire ces jolies cellules ? Si comme moi, on n'a pas de floetrol, dois-je mettre du silicone dans toutes les couleurs ou seulement 1 ou 2 ? Merci et désolée pour ces questions mais je débute et essaie de suivre !!!

[@NikiDArt]

Thank you very much Corinne 😀 💙 I never use silicone, this technique is using the Sheleeart pouring medium and Floetrol. There are quite a few French members who have taken the class. If you head to www.sheleeart.com you can find out all about it, there are subtitles. I have a 15% discount code you can enter too it's

[@laurienye7514]

I absolutely love that one, but why do you move the painting out from the center to the edge?

[@NikiDArt]

Thank you Laurie 😊 💙 I do explain in the text on screen when I did it, it's to remove a certain part only. So the part closest to the edge spins off rather than all of it

[@jennyc1846]

Your paint IS very thick Niki how long does it take to dry? Stunningly awesome!! thankyou. cheers from WA

[@NikiDArt]

Yes it is lol, I cover with a box to slow down the drying time when it's warm so it doesn't crack. Usually takes around two days for them to dry

[@babybear4524]

Why dont you use a torch or heat gun instead of a skewer to pop the bubbles?

[@NikiDArt]

Because the pillow is house paint and it burns and skins over, also there's varnish in my colours which is flammable. I do torch lightly if there are a lot of bubbles

[@babybear4524]

@@NikiDArt I'm confused. I know these chemicals are flammable yet most recipes call for them,be it the varnish or minwax or other harsh chemicals, and I see most of the artist using a torch on the painting despite this danger.

[@babybear4524]

Awesome. Unique. Love it. But for the cell activator you havent really said if its 50 50 with the paint or 60 40 or given any kind of ratio. I get that you dont measure but can you estimate what your ratio is otherwise its difficult to use your recipe? What does the interference paints do that's different than regular acrylics? I have a cake slicer that may work as a large pallet knife.Is it best to only swipe once and do a large area? Thanks Niki

[@NikiDArt]

Thank you 😊 🤍 others do 3 - 4 parts floetrol to 1 part of paint. The reason I don't put a ratio is that all paints have different consistencies, hence why I explain how I like the consistency to be when mixed. As for your spatula use whatever you feel comfy with, only swipe once otherwise you'll bring up the pillow/base which will distort your cells

[@NikiDArt]

Interference pigments throw off different colours depending on the angle and light, that's why I was angling it in the video to show the colours

[@babybear4524]

@@NikiDArt Yes I just learned that.I put down what I thought was enough pillow to cover the sides yet when tilted it didnt go down the sides but when I put on the colors and blew I ended up seeing a lot of the white pillow paint.I then added more color and activator and blew but I kept having the same problems. Is a spinner the only way to get the pillow to cover the sides? How do you know exactly how much pillow to put on? Why did my colors get lost in the pillow paint? lol. This is much harder then it looks when you guys do it.Thx Niki

[@NikiDArt]

It sounds like maybe you're blowing too hard and this bringing up the pillow paint? Yes it really is lots and lots practice basically, try using tiles to start with

[@sandrasandilands6709]

Truly beautiful…I love the Pebeo gold I’ve been using it from when I started last year as couldn’t get 24k gold and don’t think I’ll look back now ( although if I get the chance to buy 24k prob will 😂)…you just seem to make this look effortless which I know it’s not ( by the way in Hobbycraft UK Pebeo paints are in the sale for £2…as you can imagine I went and had a spending spree hehe ) xx
