Putting a little glue-all helps the pillow to move. I saw someone else do it and it worked.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Is always great joy to see you!
This helped me so much!! I’ve been doing mine without a lot of thought as to the opacities. I usually concentrate on what colors I want in my bloom, but I can see that is where I went wrong! I will be paying much more attention to this now. Thank you so much, Lisa!
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video! Thanks so much! Cannot imagine anyone EVER giving you a thumbs down! I have taken Shelee’s course, the SmartArt Course and watched videos of several other artists. You make important points that no once else mentions, like you did in this video. You are a treasure!
And don’t forget, the fluo Piggy’s are opaque and the new Rad and Psych! Are semi opaque. And if you add a little acrylic binder to you mixed pigments, that helps hold the cells.
Did someone really give a 👎 to one of your videos? Don't let it get to you Lisa, there's nothing we can do about the narcissistic pessimists of the world.... There's many of us who enjoy watching your videos 😘
Thank you! ❤️
Hello Lisa🎉 thank you so much for this information, it will help me moving forward . ❤ Greatly appreciated.
I love watching your videos.
What a wonderfully instructive video! From day 1 you've given this community so many tips & understandings of how these paints play together. You are THE source for information. Thank you for all you do Lisa! It's a joyful learning experience watching you bloom! 💯🥰🐰❣💞
Aw thank you!! ❤️💕🥰
Great video! I'm going watch again and again, to I get it right.
Awesome learning instructional videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕊️✌️😁😄🤗
I just re-watched this and am now going into my studio to put big Os and Ts and ST on each paint.
Thank you. Can't wait for your lesson
Thanks so much, this was the exact info I've been looking for. Love your work, you are amazing. Than you. Have a wonderful 2023
There is a “jargon” for pourers, such as what is an interference colour, a kitchen sink pour, peacock cells, etc. I need a dictionary, but am gradually picking up the jargon. Thank you Lisa for your lessons. I live in New Zealand so have to substitute some products.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US DIFF. TECHNIQUES..VERY HELPFUL
Thank you!
Love your explanation. Thank you!
Thank you once cannot again. I cannot even imagine someone leaving a thumbs👎down on this,even if they don't paint. The painting is GORGEOUS!
🕉🦋🕉💙💜💙
Love them all❤
Great information and results, thanks. When you lift the tiles so fast, it’s hard to get a focused image and appreciate all the beauty.🙏🏻
Thanks so much for your video. I’m about to try my first bloom in a moment and if my excitement turns to euuuh then I’ll try again! You’re info on layering is, I think, invaluable and I’ve not heard it elsewhere. My UK products don’t match yours, but I’ve done some research and found your video on pillow paint mixing so helpful. Watched you and Kanella today also - so funny. Bloop, weigh, bloop, weigh, bloop, weigh, MESS!!! But so much fun and great results. Thanks again 😊
Fantastic tutorial Lisa. Thank you.
Thank you!
Perfect timing for you to come into my life! Lol! I was just thinking about how I'm layering....you're awesome! THANK YOU 🌹❤😊
Very helpful! Thanks!
New to you...glad I found you! ❤
Thanks Lisa, loved the video. I just got super confused with the colour names you gave from the start of the video to when you were layering them on the tiles. Oh well I’ll just practice.
Loving those peacock cells! Thank you Lisa! And thank you for the beautiful view!
(Also, side note, just ignore the jerks that do the downward thumbs, you can't please every one, you're AWESOME, and we ALL know it! Sometimes I wonder why they feel the need, then I remember, Asses are always asses! LOL! )
😂 thank you!!
People who give you a thumbs down don't actually watch the video. They are just trolls.
I’m so glad I found this video. I’m in the process of mixing up my recipe for the bloom technique and I wasn’t sure about what colors to use. Now I know it’s all about layering, and it’s safe to use opaque colors, not just in the CA. I was surprised that you could use semi opaque in the CA. VERY informative video, one of the few I’ve found in the fluid artist I subscribe to.
Thank you so much!
Wow, Wow, WOW! Thank you sooo much for the intense instructions on the differences between opaque and transparent paints. I have been trying to do coasters for about a month now and was getting very discouraged because of so much mudding occurring and very little cell production or colors disappearing from tiles. Big thumbs up on the ravioli pillows :)
The last one was my favorite! And boo to the thumbs down people :(
Thanks so much for sharing! Very helpful to me as a newbie. Love that you lift fellow artists up. Together we are stronger!
So inspiring!
Thank you! Very informative and understandable
I love your experiments and explanations they are great!
Great explanation, thank you
Awesome video. Thanks for updating your layer technique. You rock Lisa.
Ver y helpful video. Thanks
Thank you!
Thank you for ur help. Trust me l needed this. Great job lisa. I'm happy l subscribe.
Thank you for sharing this information. I just starting art and found your channel. This video made so much sense to me. Your art is beautiful!
Thank you Lisa. I've just started with pigments and your videos help tremendously.
Thanks so much for this instructional video! It helped immensely. I've been struggling with the layering.
Beautiful ,love the colours 💖
Thank you!!
Thanks for the information. I needed it! 🙂
I’m glad!
Thanks for great info.
Thank you!
I ❤️ you 😘 thank you for all you do for this community!
Thank you! I love you 😂
Thank you very much for sharing . Beautiful work.
Thank you!
Thank you so much Lisa for this very informative video!!! Love the results 😍😍
Thank you!!
Love your informative video and its the layering that I learned a lot from thank you for a great video
Thank you!❤️
Fascinating to watch I love the colours you always used
Thank you!!
Thank you for all the great information. I've been working on doing this since July and I have never heard anyone explain the layers and the peacock cells the way you did so thank you for your video!! And beautiful coasters by the way!
Aw thank you!!
Hi Lisa, I so much admire your work! You are so fun to watch. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us understand how things actually work. I’m excited to go get messy and see if I can create some of those juicy peacock cells with the information that you shared. Thank you!
Aw thank you!
Hi Lisa, I love your style, you are so awesome, I love your tour quotes, I too am a tourquoise person!!! Oooooooh love ❤️ your colors you use, and I saw your big one of the sand and ocean today!!!I am also watching the magenta swipe, now your pseudo swipe!!! You are so real, love your studio, wish I had that much room!!! I just started watching you and I love your color combos!!!You are the bomb!!! Evvy Santa Maria, CA.
Thank you for suggesting I watch this. I wrote down exactly what you did with each colour and will study it until it's second nature. This will really help when choosing what paints I choose for each piece.
They are all beautiful. I really liked the last one.
Thank you!
Did I enjoy it? You just turned on at least 3 light bulbs in my head that finally made some sense. I am saving this video and I am now taking my iPad to my art room in case I need to watch some parts of this until I know it all. YES! I love it. Thank you. I can do two paintings side by side with the same colours and in the same order but only one gets cells. I obviously lucked out on one because now I know what was wrong with how I used what paints. ❤️
Thank you for sharing 💕 I learnt sooo much and I’m going to check out shelee’s course. The coasters look 👀 so beautiful 😍 I can’t wait to try them. I also subscribed to your channel as I’m a newby I’m still finding my feet and inspiration and I’m loving your videos so thank you 🙏 🌺
Thank you! Yes, the class is awesome!
So pretty ❤️
Thank you!!
Genial video!!!
Thank you!
Great video and informative! Have you tried to drizzle the cell activator instead of just put it in the middle? Would it make a difference?
hey dear
great work
please do guide me i didnt understand how to get the cells
Good information, thanks.
Thank you!!
So I just watched the again, and had I paid attention the first time, I would have known the answer to What is a peacock cell?
Awesomely informative video Lisa, thanks
Just when the bottom layers peak through the cells :)
Thank you so much for this video. I learned so much. I am ashamed that anyone would give a thumbs down, rude! I happily donated and only wish I could do more. You deserve it!! 🙏🙏
You are so sweet!!
@@lisamarvinart ❤️
Hello lisa! I love your results, which pouring medium you use ?
What exactly is a peacock cell? Great video and still trying to learn all of this. It's very helpful.
Multi colour cells :)
The newest line of pigments from Colour Art are Semi Opaque instead of transparent. I haven’t gotten any yet. I have every color of TLP!
Hi thx for the video, why do so many ppl do pourings on tiles? What purpose? thx
i thought they were all beautiful and would have been ecstatic to make one half as beautiful.
Amazing! Thank you so much. I had no idea about layering. I have two questions...
1. The base white is from Sherwin Williams? Do you use regular wall paint? Do you add anything to it?
2. What is the interference you refer to?
TIA!
VERY helpful again. Do you mix your base paint with anything, esp with the bigger pieces? I have been using Sherwin Williams too, like it better than Glidden
Thank you can’t wait to try your ideas, I’ve been struggling with TLP blooms. Also since I’m in Canada we can’t buy Josonya so we’ve been experimenting with other things.
You can get it from www.fluid-art.co :)
Reba allin, I am in Canada too. I don't really want to keep ordering online when I need to mix my pigments, what have you been trying? I don't use it for blooms yet, just in my swipes and pours. I have tried golden heavy gel watered down. Seems to work, but if you have any other ideas, I love to hear them.
Hi any idea why floetrol is more like a film on top then lacing?
hi Lisa, My struggles are seeing the pillow paint in the cells!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has paint all over their tubes, lol.
😂 I have paint over everything!
Thumbs up all the way! Hi Lisa, thanks for this since I only do tiles and just waiting for my tlp to arrive. I was hoping to see one with all TLP but almost on that one. Which I liked the water color effect. Thanks for the lesson. I'm excited to play when they arrive. Would opaque as the first paint (not pigment) down hold the TLPs better? Since you said all TLP are transparent? Which was a great thing I learned from this also! So grateful this is your full time job because your a great artist and teacher.
Tube paint first is always a safe choice!
Amazing video!!!!!! New friend here! Live ur videos!
Thanks so much!!
@@lisamarvinart You're welcome
Awesome! thanks for the good info. The last one was definitely the best. Question, I watched your BloomLive today and you mentioned where you buy your canvas's, one was Deserres and I missed what the other place was. I think it began with a O. Cheers
Opus :)
Such a great video. Thanks for sharing and explaining how the density of the paint matters.And now that I have watched the video, it makes so much sense on how you should layer. I have one question though? When you say cell activator, Is it just paint with Silicone oil in it?
No silicone!
Very helpful learned a lot about this art .Please let me know what is transparency if that's what u poured the white thing perhaps ?Thanks a lot for giving us so much info.👍❤
Transparent or opaque is whether the colour is flat or you can see through it :)
Thank you Lisa, I'm still not quite with it....so I'll just keep on keeping on... Thanks again
Keep trying!!
@@lisamarvinart I watched this again, it's so so helpful....beginning to grok it - -- Mazal Tov
Love the colors. My TLP' 's will be here next week. Will the decoart 24karat gold work well instead of harvest gold?
Yes! It has a different hue, I would say the harvest goal dries a little darker and maybe more yellow.
How do know the difference between opaque and transparent?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've took Shelee's course a year ago and I've only been able to achieve the lacing a few times. I couldn't help but ask about your eye after all the tiktok vids about ordering pizza. I know your husband is a sweetheart but sometimes ya just never know.🥰 Oh, are you using the SW HGTV for your pillow?
Thank you :) the sherwin Williams is colour to go!
@@lisamarvinart I was just looking at the updated product list in the group and saw it. I look forward to Sundays online live...🥰
I’m new here, thanks to Gail Burstyn.......
I took the course last week, but have been experimenting for a couple months on my own. I am using the Aus floetrol in my CA. Im guessing the 3:1 (floe/Amsterdam) im using is still too thick. My CA doesn't completely sink like yours does. When dry, I have kind of thick cell "river" instead of delicate lines. Im thinking my colors may still be too thick also. Im getting good results just not like these.
Yes drying can be hard lol. Make sure you don’t have too much pillow left on and cover them to dry!
What means interfarece?
Lisa, how do you know if it is Interference? Will it say it or will there be a “code” like an unshaded square means transparent?
It would say on the tube. Interference blue,gold, violet etc
Beautiful, I don’t have any piggies. I was wondering are you able to use all tube paints as long as you layer them opaque, transparent, semi transparent and so forth? Thank you, I learn so much from your videos ❤
For sure! You don’t need pigments :)
@@lisamarvinart awesome thank you 😊
So opaque is heavier and transparent would be thinner lighter colors? These are beautiful
Opaque is heavier transparent can have dark heavier colours as well :)
Which ones were the transparents? Where the sparkle ones the transparent?
Yes!
Thank you for the video! Can you describe peacock cells? I haven’t painted much as I’ve been having multiple surgeries on my hands! I think I have missed that. Thanks 🌹🌹🌹
Peacock cells are where you can see multiple colours almost like rings defined within the cells. So you'd have the black cell activator with rings of blue or gold inside together
Thanks Mitchell! I probably should have described what I was talking about 😂
Lisa, please hold it a few more seconds at the camera if you show us what is happening.
Thanks. Your art is beautiful 😍
What's a peacock cell?
Sorry, I should have explained it 😂 it’s when you have multiple colours popping through your cells
