The key difference between mica and pigment is that mica powder is shiny and gives a metallic or sparkling pearl-like effect, whereas pigment powder has a matte finish.

Awesome demonstration. Thanks Dovey. 🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💣💯🥳💐 The close up was fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed it
I am so thinking of mixing my own acrylic or oils using pigment powder!!!! Student grade colors are not the best and here in Canada, the price for professional brands are beyond ridiculous! Thank you Hon for the lesson and I love that you use Hardware Store products, which safe a ton of money!!!
Yes! And thanks for watching.
This is a great idea, please ALWAYS remember to use a proper mask/breathing apparatus and work within a well ventilated area when working with mica powder the particles are very small and are very easily picked up by the air and are easily inhaled and bad for the lungs.
Yes, good advice.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. !! I purchased mica powder from the big A. and could not get it to work correctly just using artistloft pouring medium. You have the best on youtube for this fix. thanx again. PS I even subscribed to your channel for this. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😇😇😇😇😁😁😁

WOWZERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS so beautiful there lass!!! I know it's been a while and you've been busy lol. First time I felt like art at all ...and your video came up! I kind of got burned out doing gardening all summer and then blanching, freezing and pickle making, drying the herbs etc. It was a very very VERY dry summer here so spent a lot of time just watering but at least I have some veggies and herbs for the winter....and apple chips!! Lots of mango and apple chips. I am now prepping for a winter of color......color..............ART ART and more art. I hope you have been well.....it looks like your art is just as beautiful as ever...........and you are an awesome teacher!! So good to see you are still here!!!!!
Hey there Stephie, I have missed you! Glad to see you have been keeping busy. Busy over here too and yes, Im still at it, lol. How excited, gardening! I was unable to garden this year and boy did I miss my home grown tomatoes and cucumbers!! Thanks for coming back to my channel, I really appreciate it.
I've just now gotten all my bloom ingredients. Great info Dovey. I'll get the nerve soon.
You can do it Cynthia! Good luck!

I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a whole frustrating day.
Thank you, thank you for making this video. ❤ you are awesome!!
You're so welcome! Glad you found my video helpful.
Only one day😅 I've been working on mica powder mixes fo airbrushing for weeks. It was well worth it though, I pretty much have it perfected now 👍
My first time seeing you I love ❤️ the way you explained everything ❤️ I'm following you now. Thanks Blessed ❤️
Hello and welcome to my channel. Thank you so much for subscribing!!
New sub here from Spokane Valley Wa 💖 I pray that this day finds you blessed and paint splattered 🙏✨❤💛
Hello and welcome Roberta and thanks for subbing!
Love your personality girl
That's me all day, every day, LOL. Thanks for watching!
I love the corner that is brown and slate colors, I would love to see you make one with those colors. I think it is magnificent.
Thank you, I may try that.
Thank you ❤️🇬🇸
You're welcome!
Great demo, thank you for useful information, but in case of polyster"resin" it will be the same process
You are so welcome!
Si pretty , I appreciate your tutorial very helpful. Are all de colors in the kit pearlescent. Thank you so much🙏
Yes, for this particular kit, all of the colors have that shiny shine to them. Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for making this video. I learned so much from your demonstration. Now I understand how to mix Mica powder. Do you ever mix Mica powders with Flotreal. I just subscribed and I look forward to more videos.
Thank you so much. And yes, I have used floetrol to mix the powders, but I found it dulled the color.
VERY educational. May I ask where you purchased the Behr tint? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thank you.
Thank you, glad you found this helpful. I purchased the tint at Lowes. Home Depot has it too.
Thank you!! Loved your time & results. I’ll be watching you more!
Can you mix mics powder into your paints you have ready to pour for more colors??
Yes you can. But it's been my experience that the mica powder colors aren't as vibrant when mixed with floetrol, if that's what you mix your paints with.
And thank you 😊
I’m confused, can you use just mica for a painting or do you need to add regular acrylic paints to your canvas? I hope that makes sense. Do I need an artist loft color and then a mica color?
Yes, you can use just the mica alone, mixed the way I did in my video. you will get the most vibrant colors. You do not need to add any acrylic paint to the mica mix. I have used an artist loft paint for my base, the color you put on your canvas first and then add your mica mixed paints on that. I hope this answers your question. You can also email me at Abstractnflowstudio@gmail.com for a faster response.
I think I found you on Facebook. If so, I just sent you a message there too.
HOW DID it DRY Dovey!? Thanks for video & tips!!❣️💣💥
It dried as you saw it, no changes. A picture of the dried results posted on my IG. instagram.com/doveyspour/
Could you please explain a bit about the base colour? Thank you.
Hello, sure. The base is Artist Loft Flow black mixed with Floetrol and a little water for a thinner consistency. For this 10x12 canvas I mixed 6 oz Floetrol to 3 oz of Artist loft black. I did not measure the water, I added it slowly to get the consistency I wanted for this painting. I hope this helps. And thanks for watching.
Do use Australian Floetrol & Amsterdam for the cell activator!?
Hello Sharon, I do not. I have never used Aussie Floetrol. I use Amsterdam paint and water only, mixed 1 oz paint to .5 oz water. Thanks for watching!
What does your cell activator consists of? What are the ingredients or recipe? Thank you so much. I really like this painting, so smooth. 😍
For this one I used Amsterdam titanium white and water only. I added water a little at a time for a thin consistency. Also see vid #116, I used the same CA for that piece.
I just bought some TLP's and I also have some mica powders but I find everyone has different methods on how to mix them. Yours by far is the most simple. Do you have exact measurements for people like me who have never mixed any of these products before? Thanks. I like to do blooms and Dutch pours.
Thank you Judy. I always look for simple and easy recipes and use products that most people can get from their local hardware store. I believed I mentioned in the video 1 tablespoon of the Polycrylic and two tablespoons of the Behr Deep Base. As for the powders I don't measure exactly and it really depends on the technique you are doing and how vibrant you want the colors. I just used a small scope that may equate to a teaspoon. But I find the more powder you use the more vibrant the color will be. If its too thick for you just add a little more Polycrylic. Do not use floetrol to mix your powders, it will only make them dull. For a Dutch pour I would add a little water too until you get your desired consistency.
@@DoveyG Thank you SO MUCH for your help. I can't wait to go try and mix up a batch of both my TLP's and my mica powders now that I have a simple recipe to use and try. Thanks again.
Aqui e BRASIL adorei sua tequinica gastaria de saber se seria posiveu que voce poderia colocar legendas en portugeus pos nos BRASILEIRO posamos entender sua tequinicas menlhor pos agradeso o BRASIL AGRADESE
Thank you, I will try to add subtitles en portugeus, I adjusted my settings, try again please. - Obrigado, vou tentar adicionar legendas em portugeus. Ajustei minhas configurações, tente de novo, por favor.
What am i doing wrong? My mix seems to clump leaving clear patches when applied. I mixed in container for a few minutes prior
Just order some mica powers, what is your cell activator? Thank you
For this one I used Amsterdam titanium white and water only. I added water a little at a time for a thin consistency. Also see vid #116, I used the same CA for that piece.
Lovely lady.
Thank you!
Where did you buy the behr Premium deep base 8300 I looked online and can't seem to find it with out it being white or some other color?
Hello, If you are in the States, I purchased the Behr 8300 from my local Lowes. Home Depot also carries it. Visit your local hardware store and ask for any deep base, untinted paint. Dont ask for it to be shaken.
Okay thanks
How do you mix your pillow paints for bloom techniques? Please let me know
For this one I Artist Loft Black, mixed with just Floetrol. (it was on the thin side). I normally use white house paint. Pillow: WalMart, Ready to Use White, thinned with water and squirt of GAC 800
Thanks
Have you ever put mica in just the poly for top coats??
Hi there, no I have never used mica in that way. sorry.
What did you use as a base coat? Was it regular acrylic paint? Or house paint?
For this one the base coat was Artist Loft Flow black, regular acrylic paint. Mixed with Floetrol. It was a little too thin though for a true pillow for a bloom.
The Behr is not available in Cali??? :( What could I use?
The Behr is an untainted deep base paint. Any other brand should be ok as long as its untainted and deep base. Ask someone in the paint department for that type of paint. Do not have it shaken or add anything to it. Also, I personally do not mix with floetrol as it mutes the colors. Good luck!
Why do you have to mix polycyclic and the bear deep base? Could you just use one or the other? Why both?
Hello Karen, good question. The deep base is too thick to use by itself and the polycyclic is too thin to use by itself. So mixing the two gives the best consistency for the bloom technique and the best results for me. I have seen others use the JoSonja and other pouring mediums that works best for them. Thanks for watching.
I tried looking for the bear paint and I can not find the exact 1 please help
First, thanks for visiting my channel. Sorry for the delay in answering. So... deep base paint is the type of paint that has the least amount of white pigment, which means it is more tintability. This allows a "deep base" paint to accept more colorant and create deeper colors when the paint gets tinted. It has a creamy thick consistency. So really any brand of paint will work as long as it says "Deep Base". When purchasing, do not get anything added at the store and don't get it shaken. I would suggest getting the smallest can they have and test it out. Good luck!!
122. It looks amazing and looks like a lot of fun and really awesome. . see my abstract too
Thank you 🤗 I have visited your page many times and subscribed. You have nice work my friend.
Not mick-ah, it is pronounced "mike-ah"
OK, thanks
Can't watch your video. You talk to slow and too long of a time between words. I was getting very antsy.
Sorry to hear that. I have a voice disability, I have to pace myself when I speak. Thanks for watching.
You know you can just speed up the video in that case Mel, Dang. It's not too difficult. .. anybody see what i did there? 🙊🙊😄😄
Goddess gracious, fast forward it or don’t watch it. She is just trying to help everybody . She is a sweet lady and her techniques are simple and work. Be nice. Only unhappy people make that kind of remark.
Why did you feel the need to tell someone you have an issue with their video. What sort of sadistic pleasure does that give you? Does it make you feel better about yourself? Really don't understand people like you.
Hi I absolutely Love your channel& Love this video! I was wondering can u please suggest some alternate house paints I tried finding the Behr premium plus deep base 8300 and no luck. I did find behr premium plus interior/ exterior deep space hi-gloss. Would that work??? Please help
