My friend and I are 77 and was looking for something that was not expensive, fun and produces something beautiful eventhough we have NO TALENT😝However we DO have imaginations and we just happened to fall in love with the art at the same time. We so appreciate your detailed instruction and lesson on aerodynamics. 👍
Now I will always be hearing 'walrus' and 'shark' in my head! Thank you for the tutorial - you're a natural born teacher (and I taught for 23 years, so I recognize one when I see one!) 💕
Walruses, Sharks and blows oh my, thank you so much for the comment, I missed my calling earlier in life, but hopefully making up for it now!!🧡thanks Michelle😘
DEAR Louise you are like a mother to us I always referred to you because your advices comes from the heart, you are the most informative teacher with great generosity Thanks 🙏
Thank you, 😘Jocelyn, that is very sweet to say. I have a simple attitude about sharing information and that is, I can lead you in the direction, but you have to execute it yourself in your own environment with your own paints on your own substrates. So I am happy to share as much information as I can, without being taken advantage of hopefully😃
😂😂😂 Louise your fantastic teacher. I had to laugh about one comment. That lady recognice when she see, s one. I recognice when I hear one and in fact booth. 😂😂😂 Neverdeless it was great to see this, because its true, your eyes are somewhere else then your mounth. Great instruction by seeing this from two angles. ❤
Thank you, Lydia, 😘yeah, I think I need to put a warning statement before my videos that whatever I might say during my videos might be induced by paint fumes😅 but seriously, I really did learn a lot and feel like I understand why teachers do teach now. Thank you for being in your comment.🧡
Hello dear Louise. Your work is really on a different level, I can tell you really know what you're doing. (what do you do for a living of you don't mind me asking?) Amazing work my friend, very inspiring to watch. Have a lovely Sunday, and I'll catch you in the next video.... Thomas
Hello Thomas, I no longer am working, I was an officer in the military after graduating West Point and 84 and then I worked in manufacturing and also spent some time raising my kids. I started doing fluid art about 3 1/2 three years ago, learning it through TH-cam artists😘 thank you for being here🧡🧡
Just excellent! I have never been successful with blooms. I get light headed and then just go back to my other art forms. Thank you for sharing. You are differently a teacher,💖💖💖💖💖
Hello Cookie and welcome here😘 I’m sorry you get lightheaded, you could do this with a handheld blow dryer. I appreciate you taking the time to be here and leave your thoughts.🧡
This is a great instructional with the blow. I finally got through this video. I will try today and see if I can get it. Thanks as always Louise. You're the best!🎉💐🥳💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😘
LOUISE!!!! All I can say is THANK YOU. This was so informative for me and I am sure many more peeps out there. I have been trying this for days and just could not get it. Now, I can go back and try it again.
Thank you Devine, 😘I’m convinced this will help, just way of approaching it! Persistence is important and so is practice you’ll get it, thank you for your support and comment🧡
🤣🤣🤣 Walrus and shark! 🤣🤣🤣 Such great tips for sure - funny but absolutley spot on! It was also interesting to see the results on the difference in results based on the angle of the blow. Cool video for sure.
Hi Kim, yes that was a shortcoming of the video that I was not able to or didn’t think to take the cameras out to show the results, but trust me the angle of the blow on the lower angle, got more cells and just think about it the lower the angle it’s more like a swipe, the higher the angle, less cells more chance for pillow show. Just try it for yourself and you’ll see, glad you like my shark and walrus.😂😂😂
Hello Nelda, I think your new year so Welcome! 🤗 yes as a teacher I learned a lot and thought it would be worthwhile sharing with my subscribers. Glad it’s helpful and often I even have to remind myself about placement and technique so we’re all in the same boat. You may want to check out my playlist as I have lots of different tutorials, broken down by category that might be helpful to.😘😘
Thank you so much, 😊 Ronak, I appreciate the full watch as that’s what I do with you as well, always things that show up unexpectedly during the videos. I appreciate your support. Have a great week.😘😘
This is brilliant now! ❤ This is my second video of yours I haves saved to watch again later today! You do know we’ll have to call you the Walrus now don’t you 😂 I’m really a bloom baby so this is super useful. More please my friend. It is obvious that you love teaching and I love hearing your thought process. You are a superstar my friend ❤
Thank you so much Marie-Louise for your lovely and generous comment. Something weird on TH-cam is happening because I only see your comment here through TH-cam studio and not through my notifications from TH-cam. I don’t know what that means. Anyway, I had fun making that tutorial, the walrus and shark part just came to me and I don’t mind being called the walrus.😂😂 I mean it goes back to legend right? “I am the egg man, I am the egg man, I am the walrus coo coo ca choo” 😘😅😂
Thank you so much, sweet niece Aishu. 😘😊Yes this is a different type of video, although I think it’s something that was needed and was asked for and multiple comments. Thank you once again for your fantastic support.😘
I just have to say, Louise, this is SO helpful. I am going to be an artist and a shark from now on and blow slow..fast and I really love the angle part too. sooo much to practice and learn..
Thank you so much, 😘Tracy, yes, grab that walrus by the tusks … and that shark by the snout and make some pretty creations😅 I’m glad it helped you, I try to be helpful to people.
Such a beautiful bloom painting, Louise. It reminds me of Cinderella from 1950, absolutely stunning. You and Marie-Louise are always so cute, adorable, graceful, and inspiring. I’m looking forward to watching Donald Duck on Christmas Eve morning at 4:00 am Wisconsin time, which I take my tradition very seriously. 🤗🤗🤗🥹🥹🥹
Thank you, Byron, actually I didn’t create anything in this video lol😅 it was simply a tutorial showing how to blow out the bloom. Thank you so much for being here and your support.😘
Hi Louise thanks so very much for this informative video. At work at the moment - can't wait to go home and try out all your tips. Would love to see a closeup lip shape video. 😊
Thank you, Sushi, honestly, I don’t know if I’m gonna do a video of close lips. I don’t know how I could possibly translate that in the video nor do I want people to see my lips wrinkling close-up.😂 I’ll leave that to Self exploration😘
Hi Louise , great tutorial on how to perfect the Blooms , it truly makes a difference in the final outcome , you have a gentle way of teaching your art , beautiful , thank you :)😍
Thank you so much, 😘Dolores, I really appreciate your comment and your support. Feel free to share with anyone, I think it’s worth people giving it a look if they are needing help.🧡
Thank you so much for being 💙here and welcome! Be sure to check out my playlist that breaks down all of my functional art by category. I do a lot of functional art like coasters, jars, clocks, charcuterie, boards,…
This is brilliant Louise! ❤ This is my second video of yours I haves saved to watch again later today! You do know we’ll have to call you the Walrus now don’t you 😂 Love sharky too 😅 I’m really a bloom baby so this is super useful. More please my friend. It is obvious that you love teaching and I love hearing your thought process. You are a superstar my friend. Such great tips! ❤
Thanks so much for sharing Louise, a wonderful tutorial. I’ll do the Walrus thing. I have to take my glasses off and then I can’t see anything so I will try this with my glasses on next time 😊🫶🏻✨
Thank you, Kat, I know the walrus thing is silly, but it does illustrate the point and you don’t even need to worry about your glasses. You just have to find your fingers. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to share.😘
Thank you so much 😊 Ann, I feel like this tutorial was long overdue, especially after teaching the class and Washington DC. I knew something needed to be put out there for people!
I’m just watching this video for the first time and it was so very helpful!! Recently (for whatever reason) I’ve caught myself, on my second or third blow, I’m blowing paint over my cell activator! Ugh it’s so frustrating trying to get it back so the walrus idea is brilliant! The world is going to be going around with pointy fingers beside our mouths…but hey, it works!! Great job Teach!! 🫶🏼🦈🦭
Thank you, Treesie, I came up with that idea from the fluid art boutique when I was watching people, and my very first class, and I was seeing what they all were doing, the newer ones anyway. They all were tending to make the same mistake so I figured out a way of focusing that mistake into direction and that’s when I came up with the walrus. I had already been telling people to blow out like a shark.😂 but a simple thing like that can really help somebody. And sometimes I actually have to resort to it myself because some days, as you probably know, you just cannot find the blow.🤣
I recently found your channel and I want to say a great big thank you! Your tutorial videos are speaking directly to me and I can't wait to watch them all!
That was fabulous Louise!! It’s so funny, I was just thinking about what I could do to figure out where my mouth was. The walrus metaphor is perfect!! Sometimes I’m right on and other times I just have bad days with it. 🤷♀️ We have a busy week and now I just want to stay home and paint! 😂
@@TomiMilliron thank you Tomi, I’m glad you enjoyed this tutorial, feel free to pass it on any friend that might benefit. Also know that I do have playlists with different creations, broken down by category, a lot of functional art that you might enjoy.🧡🧡
Thank you so much, 😘Jerri, it was during that class in DC. I thought this might be needed, even though I haven’t ever seen anybody really do a tutorial to this level, I’m glad you think it’s gonna be helpful. I think it will be too.🧡
Ha!!! I'm definitely going to try the walrus trick! I don't know if I told you or not, but I'm blind in my left eye so I have trouble with distance at times I know this will help me thank you so much!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you, Jerelyn, I did not know, this will definitely help, having that walrus finger gives you a way to see where your mouth is. It’ll help you for sure.😘
Louise that was I don't even know what to say I am so grateful for that video I've always wanted someone and I did ask someone once if they would put the towel up to their face so I could see their lips and how they're blowing. That is so helpful and for you to take the time to do that is so special. And you mentioned at the end another video about the lips I would love to see that. I want to thank you again for taking your time to help others I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. And like I said you've got this perfected the amount of pillow paint and it seems like you put hardly any paint down and you come out with the most beautiful pieces and all themselves, yummy. So once again thank you from the bottom of my heart and I'll be watching to see if you have another video on the lips and I will be replying this over and over. God bless stay safe and well always .😉💕💕🤲 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, 😘Lisa, after teaching in DC and seeing how people developed in the classroom, I realize that I needed to figure out something and a way of explaining it. I don’t understand the towel concept as you pointed out above. I did mention lips and lips are also another factor here, but I am not probably going to do a video about lips. I think I will lead that to your creative devices. But lips are important how you shape them directly impacts your blow, but I am not imagining how I could possibly have a camera showing my lips at the same time showing the results and I don’t want to get that close to my lips with all my little wrinkles that I’ve gotten nowadays😂 so that will be your imagination. In front of the mirror and see what you can do.🤣🤣🤣 I like to be helpful and I hope that people share what I do to help my channel grow so we all can grow together. That’s all I ask. I appreciate your support and glad to be helpful.😘🧡
Thank you so much. Right after I put my c a. down now, I put my walrus tusks on, bend over my paint, and voila, my mouth is right where it is suppose to be. Now when I blow, it works! Woo hoo, who knew walruses and sharks could be so useful to paint pouring? You did! Thx for sharing. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much!! I too was having trouble blowing in what I thought was the center. But the “walrus technique” is genius!! Can’t wait to get home so I can try it!❤
Thank you so much, 😘🧡Jan. Yes, remember to get your tusks on, that comparison is memorable and applicable! Good luck with it, I’m sure you’re going 😘 to do great
Hi Kaylene, 😘this was solely a blow tutorial that I’m glad you enjoyed. I try to be helpful showing and explaining this time with the nitty gritty and a couple animals to make it memorable!!
Thank you so so much 😘😘Escapedia! I think your new here so welcome. Glad you enjoyed this and if you are new, be sure to check out my playlists as I have a lot of different creations, broken down my category. I do a lot of functional art, coasters, trays, lazy Susans, clocks… Please have a look around while you’re here.🧡
Deborah, 😘thank you, don’t feel like that at all, we are all at one time or another blow challenged, even I forget my own advice and my own tips that I’m sharing here. Sometimes I just go off and forget what I’m doing and then wonder what I’m doing and then I have to get back to basics. So we’re all kind of in the same boat.😀
Thank you, 🧡😘Claude, I haven’t seen you before so welcome. If you are new, please be sure to check out my playlists as I have a lot of different functional art broken down by category. You might find it interesting.😘
Absolutely helpful and very informative. Definitely going to try blooms again. Gave up because I couldn't get the blow right. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. You're awesome. PS Love the walrus tusks😂
Thank you, Angela, I think you’ll find this helps, once you figure out how to find that center, and you do some muscle memory with your eyes and where they are you’re gonna be fine, but that is a trick to figure out. Good luck and use those tusks.😂
Louise, This is so fascinating because, finally on the last tile I did two days ago, I made the connection to what you are saying right now 😉 OMG ... I love this visua videol, I actually giggled out loud...Seriously you are so good at explaining, showing how to do something as easily as possible, and this walrus and shark are the "Best"!!! Girl, as far as I'm concerned you are always "On a Roll" and right on, I might add. 😊 All great teachers, learn as they go, and pass it on Bravo!! I love this video so much, and knew I would learn a better way, no matter what, and the "split screen" is genius!! Thanks Louise, I appreciate your talents and passing what you learn on to us...Take care...🤗☺❤
Thank you, Jude, I had fun making it, but it was only in the creation of the video that I realized I needed to do a double video and how to use my husband‘s phone to get a different angle. But I knew going with the split screen from different angles would be beneficial, especially to illustrate points from one side or the other. I’m glad you enjoyed it and my walrus and shark renditions.😂😂😂 nothing like pulling out a few animals to illustrate a point🤣 once again thank you for being here in all of your support all the time. I appreciate it.
Mind blown! Never thought about angle… I blow in between high and low… but I love the low blow cells! Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the lip tutorial😁😉
Thank you, Sally, yeah, it is amazing. What the slightest differences can do in the result. I don’t know if we’re gonna do a lip tutorial I mean for crying out loud.😂😂😂😂 I don’t want people getting too close to my wrinkles🤣🤣
@@LouiseMcKayArt wrinkles sminckles! We all have them… especially at my age! No one is going to notice your fine lines! Just pucker up and do it for all of us little walrus sharks who want to get better at it… 😃👍
@@userMarinainCol your notification just came through and I’m like what in the world is she talking about and then I had to see the thread that it led to ha ha ha 🤣 😂😂 I wonder how many more wrinkles that blowing is added to my face😂😂😂😂😂
@@sallyferriter4868 hi Sally, now I see this notification I didn’t see it before because it’s attached to some other run of notices. Honestly, I don’t know if I really wanna make a video like that, maybe in a one on one tutorial but I don’t think I’m going to do a video and put it out for public consumption. I think I’ll leave the lip discovery to you guys.😂
I think that might be why I seem to use so much more cell activator than I should. I am not blowing correctly and should concentrate on the said mechanics of my embouchure. As always you are an enormous help for beginners and more advanced for fine tuning us all. Wonderful tutorial.
Thank you so much, 😘Janice, and feel free to share with anyone. I’m trying to grow my channel so every new subscriber helps. And what I’m putting out is definitely helpful so it was a win-win. I appreciate you being here and your comment and your support.😘
Thank you so much, Karen, maybe some is familiar?? You have no idea how much I learned in that classroom with you and everyone else😘 thank you so much for making it possible🧡🧡
Thank you so much, 😘Janice. I really appreciate your comment. Makes me feel good because I know not all channels are the same and I’m glad that you found me. Please share if you’re able to do so help us both grow.😘
Thanks so much 😘🧡Debbie and Welcome… I think you’re new here. If so, please note that you can check out my playlists and see all of the different creations, broken down by category, feel free to Peru around. I’m hopefully going to have another creation released today. It’s really pretty cool.😃
I’m practicing on small canvases before I try wooden trinket boxes, and I wish I had viewed this vid first. VERY helpful about “finding your mouth” … I couldn’t figure out why my blowing on the CA was causing it to slide over to the far side. Thank you!
This was so helpful!!! I have a lung issue but use an air brush. I learned so much from this video though. I always set my air brush at a very low PSI, like my breath would be. However what I learned is the angle!! Thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much, 😘Diane, I unfortunately don’t have a whole lot of say so and what artist get picked up to do teaching. If you have any contact with Lee Masse, maybe put a good word in for me😉
Wow! Now I can see what I was doing wrong, I was all over the place sharking when I needed to walrus 🤦🏻♀️ also for some reason I was blowing a forceful breath and driving my CA way down into the pillow, you might say I was whale blowholing it. 😂 Thanks 👍🏼 excited to giving this a try, I was about to give up 💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Raven Moon 😂 absolutely hilarious, I love the way you said this. I’m glad that this tutorial helped you see what you might have been doing, 🧡it’s all about learning and trying new things and figuring out what works for you. I’m glad this hopefully helped and hopefully you’ll get good results.😀
Thank you so much🧡😘, and if you’re new, please take a look at my playlist, I do a lot of functional art, and I have many creations, broken down by category, lazy, Susans, clocks, coasters, charcuterie boards! And I appreciate you leaving your comment. I have another video coming out this afternoon, a clock creation! Welcome!
Louise, you amaze me! i always learn something new from you. I have been teaching in my community but always using the palette knife a la Jessica. I want to teach the blow to my more advanced student so Ive been breaking down the many aspects of blowing. It really helps that I now know more about what I'm doing (duh!!!) you are my guru! I will be checking out the one for mouth shape, next.
Thank you so much, 😘Maureen, maybe I could take a lesson or two of your swipes. And I don’t think I’m gonna be doing a lip tutorial as logistically. I don’t know how I would set up a camera showing lips and blow at the same time and I really don’t think I want people to get that close to my lips now that they’re getting a little wrinkly.😅 I think I will leave the lip to your creative devices. Thank you for being here.😘
Thank you so much, Bailey, I always try to be helpful😘 and if you’re just starting out, be patient with yourself. It takes a little while. And you don’t need a blow as hard as some people might think. I know when I was teaching class people were blowing like crazy and it’s just a firm gentle blow. Have fun with it.
This is an awesome video! Thank you so much for doing it!! No one has ever explained it better. I even took a course with Shelee at Pourcon and never learnt this. Mind you they were big class sizes and very little time. So no fault to Shelee because she just didn't have time to explain everything. I had problems because I wear progressive glasses. So couldn't decide whether to take them off or leave them on. I think I'm going to buy myself just a cheap pair of readers for blowing and try that. You are a super teacher and so very generous to put the time in to make a video about this. As you said the problem is real! ❤❤❤
Hi Joey, real quick as I have to leave, but I wanted to throw this out there. I also wear progressives, but when I’m blowing, I don’t look through my glasses at all. I’m looking under them. Another free tip! I’m glad this helped it definitely is an eye-opener if you aren’t aware of how to find your blow. I have all kinds of tricks up my sleeve 😂Thank you for your support.😘
@@LouiseMcKayArt If I don't look through my glasses, I may as well be blind!! Got some readers today and they are 350 strength. I was shocked myself!! I didn't they were that bad!! I love all your tricks and you really seem to know to explain things so well. Your voice is soothing as well. All that helps. Also the fact that you really are sincere about getting people to learn. You have "It".
@@LenaEliasson-w4h thank you so much Lena for being here! I think you’re new so welcome, if you have a check, second check out my playlists, I have a variety of creations,broken down my category, most of which is functional art.
@@LouiseMcKayArt Followed you for some time🥰After this video I tried my first valross blow and it was ok 🎉The shark 🦈 not so good🙄But I will keep on practicing 😅
This video was incredibly well filmed, Louise, and the side and front, angles were so helpful. Your explanations were very clear and concise. My biggest problem has also been finding my mouth 🤣. You are an amazing teacher, I sincerely appreciate your giving so freely of your time and energy to guide and assist us. I did the bloom course 3 years ago, but as I couldn’t find my mouth, I have stayed clear of blooming. I have had some truly beautiful blooms, that I have kept. After watching this video, I’m definitely going to practice. I have a lot of trouble getting White C.A to move/spread across the paints, even though it’s the same consistency as my black. Can you help with this? Thank you, Louise for all you do 🙏♥️🌹🌹
Thank you Fiona so much for your gracious comment and I have a tip for your white CA…maybe for tip 😉in return!! The white paint is thicker, use more Floetrol…make it a tad thinner than the black, the halo development will tell you if it’s right
@@LouiseMcKayArt Ahh, thank you 🙏,Louise, I sincerely appreciate you advice. I absolutely love your art and your colour combos always leave me in awe ♥️💐💐
@@Miss.C. you’re welcome and thank you for being here. I think you’re new so I just wanna let you know. I do have a bunch of playlists where I have all of my creations broken down by category if you wanna check some things out. I have a lot of coasters, ornaments, charcuterie boards, Lazy Susan‘s clocks….
I love watching your videos. I’ve learned so much from you !! This video is extremely helpful !! I just got a shipment of IKEA Lazy Susan’s and can’t wait to try it while following your steps. I am new to fluid art and have been watching a ton of videos and have learned who to watch more of and your it for sure ❤ I definitely need to find my walrus and shark 😂 It is hard to do. I had actually been using my hand to blow on to find the middle and then turning my head sideways like a sidewinder to blow out if you picture that one 😆 I’ll find my blow just as you said. Practice Practice Practice 😊 Thanks a million for all you do ❤❤
Thank you so much Debbie 😘and best of luck with the IKEA Lazy Susan‘s, be patient with yourself because it does take some practice and always remember. You can definitely pour over or scrape off of have to be. It also as far as the blow find what works for you For sure, but after teaching the class in DC and seeing what I saw, I felt like it was definitely something worth sharing. Once I realized a way of sharing how to find your target. I’m glad my videos have been helpful, I really appreciate your support and good words. You probably already know I have a playlist with different tutorials that might be helpful. Keep on painting.😘🧡
Hi Joyce, I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. If an opportunity comes up to teach in Florida and I’m asked by the powers that be I would consider doing it, I did teach in Washington DC with the fluid art boutique, and I really enjoyed it so just need the opportunity.😊

Thank you so much, sweet niece Aishu. 😘😊Yes this is a different type of video, although I think it’s something that was needed and was asked for and multiple comments. Thank you once again for your fantastic support.😘
I just have to say, Louise, this is SO helpful. I am going to be an artist and a shark from now on and blow slow..fast and I really love the angle part too. sooo much to practice and learn..
Thank you so much, 😘Tracy, yes, grab that walrus by the tusks … and that shark by the snout and make some pretty creations😅 I’m glad it helped you, I try to be helpful to people.
Such a beautiful bloom painting, Louise. It reminds me of Cinderella from 1950, absolutely stunning. You and Marie-Louise are always so cute, adorable, graceful, and inspiring. I’m looking forward to watching Donald Duck on Christmas Eve morning at 4:00 am Wisconsin time, which I take my tradition very seriously. 🤗🤗🤗🥹🥹🥹
Thank you, Byron, actually I didn’t create anything in this video lol😅 it was simply a tutorial showing how to blow out the bloom. Thank you so much for being here and your support.😘
Hi Louise thanks so very much for this informative video. At work at the moment - can't wait to go home and try out all your tips. Would love to see a closeup lip shape video. 😊
Thank you, Sushi, honestly, I don’t know if I’m gonna do a video of close lips. I don’t know how I could possibly translate that in the video nor do I want people to see my lips wrinkling close-up.😂 I’ll leave that to Self exploration😘
Hi Louise , great tutorial on how to perfect the Blooms , it truly makes a difference in the final outcome , you have a gentle way of teaching your art , beautiful , thank you :)😍
Thank you so much, 😘Dolores, I really appreciate your comment and your support. Feel free to share with anyone, I think it’s worth people giving it a look if they are needing help.🧡
Absolutely beautiful creation. You are a great teacher and I learned a lot from this video. I plan on viewing all in this series. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for being 💙here and welcome! Be sure to check out my playlist that breaks down all of my functional art by category. I do a lot of functional art like coasters, jars, clocks, charcuterie, boards,…
I was one of those crazy people. You helped me so much! "Blow the wave out to sea" 😊
Now i will also think Walrus 😂
You crack me up Mary🧡😂, you crazy woman!! Thanks for all your support and being with me!!😘
Walruses, Sharks and blows oh my!!
great share. wish you all the best ❤❤
@@phatgiaohoahao1805 thank you Phat🧡
This is brilliant Louise! ❤ This is my second video of yours I haves saved to watch again later today! You do know we’ll have to call you the Walrus now don’t you 😂 Love sharky too 😅
I’m really a bloom baby so this is super useful. More please my friend. It is obvious that you love teaching and I love hearing your thought process. You are a superstar my friend. Such great tips! ❤
Thanks again ML, glad my thought process isn’t too much of a quagmire😂 thank you for being here!😘😘
Great video. Helped tremendously. Thank you. Watch all your videos 😊
Thank you so much, Marj, I appreciate your support 🧡😘
Amazing useful tips! I learned so much!
Thank you, 😘Susan, feel free to share, I wish I had this when I was coming up😀
Thanks so much for sharing Louise, a wonderful tutorial. I’ll do the Walrus thing. I have to take my glasses off and then I can’t see anything so I will try this with my glasses on next time 😊🫶🏻✨
Thank you, Kat, I know the walrus thing is silly, but it does illustrate the point and you don’t even need to worry about your glasses. You just have to find your fingers. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to share.😘
Very good explanations and demonstrating
Thank you so much 😊 Ann, I feel like this tutorial was long overdue, especially after teaching the class and Washington DC. I knew something needed to be put out there for people!
Thank you so much from Australia! I appreciate the time and effort put into your work. You are a legend!!!!
Wow Toni, you are offering some high praise all the way from Australia no less. Thank you so much. I am humbled.😘
I’m just watching this video for the first time and it was so very helpful!! Recently (for whatever reason) I’ve caught myself, on my second or third blow, I’m blowing paint over my cell activator! Ugh it’s so frustrating trying to get it back so the walrus idea is brilliant! The world is going to be going around with pointy fingers beside our mouths…but hey, it works!! Great job Teach!! 🫶🏼🦈🦭
Thank you, Treesie, I came up with that idea from the fluid art boutique when I was watching people, and my very first class, and I was seeing what they all were doing, the newer ones anyway. They all were tending to make the same mistake so I figured out a way of focusing that mistake into direction and that’s when I came up with the walrus. I had already been telling people to blow out like a shark.😂 but a simple thing like that can really help somebody. And sometimes I actually have to resort to it myself because some days, as you probably know, you just cannot find the blow.🤣
Thank you so much for this video. I have not started to bloom yet I just got all of my items. You are such a great teacher. Have a blessed day😊
Thank you Cindy😘 and give it a go and be patient, it’s a more complicated technique…
Thank you so much for all your helpful tips❤
Thank you so so much for being here Lori and your support
Thank you! Great idea re walrus tusks and shark head shake
Thank you Margarete, a little silly I’ll admit, but memorable isn’t it😅
I recently found your channel and I want to say a great big thank you! Your tutorial videos are speaking directly to me and I can't wait to watch them all!
Yay and Welcome!! FYI, I have playlists if you want to see what I have broken down by category! 🧡🧡
Thank you Louise! This is sooooooo helpful!
I’m glad Janice thank you so much for being here and leaving your comment😘
That is a GREAT tutorial! Brilliant!
The thanks so much😘🧡I appreciate spending time with me!
Very good teaching by you ❤awesome tutorial ❤
Thank you so much, Dr . I appreciate you always being here and leaving your thoughts.😘
That was fabulous Louise!! It’s so funny, I was just thinking about what I could do to figure out where my mouth was. The walrus metaphor is perfect!! Sometimes I’m right on and other times I just have bad days with it. 🤷♀️ We have a busy week and now I just want to stay home and paint! 😂
Thanks Stacy, we all have had ‘can’t find my mouth days!’ This will help and glad you liked this!😘
Thank you Louise! I love you! 💕 You’re the best and I continue to learn so much from you and I actually improving! Slowly but surely!👏🥰
@@Roulettegrl67 that’s awesome, you must not be done watching yet. There are a lot of good tips in their day to the end for sure.🧡
I don't even do this and I am completely fascinated. I just love the outcome. You are a very good teacher. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Barbara. I appreciate you taking the time to watch even though you don’t do fluid art, I really appreciate your support😘🧡
Oh wow, that technique is so awesome! Bless your heart for all the detail❤
@@TomiMilliron thank you Tomi, I’m glad you enjoyed this tutorial, feel free to pass it on any friend that might benefit. Also know that I do have playlists with different creations, broken down by category, a lot of functional art that you might enjoy.🧡🧡
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to show us this tutorial. It was very helpful. You are a wonderful teacher and artist. Thanks again!!
Thank you so much, 😘Jerri, it was during that class in DC. I thought this might be needed, even though I haven’t ever seen anybody really do a tutorial to this level, I’m glad you think it’s gonna be helpful. I think it will be too.🧡
Ha!!! I'm definitely going to try the walrus trick! I don't know if I told you or not, but I'm blind in my left eye so I have trouble with distance at times I know this will help me thank you so much!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you, Jerelyn, I did not know, this will definitely help, having that walrus finger gives you a way to see where your mouth is. It’ll help you for sure.😘
Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!😊
You bet Angela, feel free to share the tips and video🧡
Fantastic is all I can say. So informative!
Thanks so much Carefree😘
thank u so much, Louise! You are such an awesome teacher, artist, and person! 💖
Thanks so much Tracy😘🧡
OMG Louise! That makes perfect sense! Can't wait to give it a try. I'm getting my tusks on right now!
@@DebPritzl-dw6ez 😂😂😂😂that was the best way I could describe it, but it works! When I showed people from my class, everybody said ohHhhhhh, yeah! 😘
Louise that was I don't even know what to say I am so grateful for that video I've always wanted someone and I did ask someone once if they would put the towel up to their face so I could see their lips and how they're blowing. That is so helpful and for you to take the time to do that is so special. And you mentioned at the end another video about the lips I would love to see that. I want to thank you again for taking your time to help others I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. And like I said you've got this perfected the amount of pillow paint and it seems like you put hardly any paint down and you come out with the most beautiful pieces and all themselves, yummy. So once again thank you from the bottom of my heart and I'll be watching to see if you have another video on the lips and I will be replying this over and over. God bless stay safe and well always .😉💕💕🤲 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, 😘Lisa, after teaching in DC and seeing how people developed in the classroom, I realize that I needed to figure out something and a way of explaining it. I don’t understand the towel concept as you pointed out above. I did mention lips and lips are also another factor here, but I am not probably going to do a video about lips. I think I will lead that to your creative devices. But lips are important how you shape them directly impacts your blow, but I am not imagining how I could possibly have a camera showing my lips at the same time showing the results and I don’t want to get that close to my lips with all my little wrinkles that I’ve gotten nowadays😂 so that will be your imagination. In front of the mirror and see what you can do.🤣🤣🤣 I like to be helpful and I hope that people share what I do to help my channel grow so we all can grow together. That’s all I ask. I appreciate your support and glad to be helpful.😘🧡
Thank you so much. Right after I put my c a. down now, I put my walrus tusks on, bend over my paint, and voila, my mouth is right where it is suppose to be. Now when I blow, it works! Woo hoo, who knew walruses and sharks could be so useful to paint pouring? You did! Thx for sharing. Much appreciated.
Oh Carey, you crack me up, haven’t heard about walruses or sharks in a while! Thanks 🦈glad this helped
Great video, Louise! That blowout is so important and I love the walrus thing.
Thank you, August😘🧡 try to keep things in fun ter👍🏼😂
Thank you so much!! I too was having trouble blowing in what I thought was the center. But the “walrus technique” is genius!! Can’t wait to get home so I can try it!❤
Thank you so much, 😘🧡Jan. Yes, remember to get your tusks on, that comparison is memorable and applicable! Good luck with it, I’m sure you’re going 😘 to do great
We LOVE you Louise, I relate a lot to your way of teaching, thank you thank you, this will really help 🥰🦭🦈
Thank you so much 😘Diane, I appreciate that, maybe we’re related😅
Very beautiful technique Louise.
Thank you so much, Antara😘
Thank you for taking the time to help us. 😊
Thank you for being here 🧡Linda, hope it helps😘
Wow Louise, I had no idea there was so much to know, so many little things that affects it. Fantastic tutorial!
Who’d have thought huh? Yes, a lot, thank you for being here and your support of course😘
Love the way you explain your process always clear and easy to understand ❤stunning creation fantastic video ❤
Hi Kaylene, 😘this was solely a blow tutorial that I’m glad you enjoyed. I try to be helpful showing and explaining this time with the nitty gritty and a couple animals to make it memorable!!
Great tutorial! Your tips make it so easy to master the blooming blow technique. Thank you for sharing this helpful video! ❤😀👍
Thank you so so much 😘😘Escapedia! I think your new here so welcome. Glad you enjoyed this and if you are new, be sure to check out my playlists as I have a lot of different creations, broken down my category.

@@LouiseMcKayArt Thank you, Louise! I'll definitely check out your playlists and explore more of your amazing creations. ❤😀🙏 -Odie
Thank you, thank you! I thought I was the only one who was blow challenged!
Deborah, 😘thank you, don’t feel like that at all, we are all at one time or another blow challenged, even I forget my own advice and my own tips that I’m sharing here. Sometimes I just go off and forget what I’m doing and then wonder what I’m doing and then I have to get back to basics. So we’re all kind of in the same boat.😀
Thank you so much for this lesson of the blooming, excellent explanation 🥰😍🤩
Thank you, 🧡😘Claude, I haven’t seen you before so welcome. If you are new, please be sure to check out my playlists as I have a lot of different functional art broken down by category. You might find it interesting.😘
Just watching this today!😆 Love your walrus!!!!
Thank you, Diane, yeah, I thought that walrus and shark would be a memorable concept😘
Absolutely helpful and very informative. Definitely going to try blooms again. Gave up because I couldn't get the blow right. Thank you for taking the time to do this video. You're awesome.
PS Love the walrus tusks😂
Thank you, Angela, I think you’ll find this helps, once you figure out how to find that center, and you do some muscle memory with your eyes and where they are you’re gonna be fine, but that is a trick to figure out. Good luck and use those tusks.😂
Louise, This is so fascinating because, finally on the last tile I did two days ago, I made the connection to what you are saying right now 😉 OMG ... I love this visua videol, I actually giggled out loud...Seriously you are so good at explaining, showing how to do something as easily as possible, and this walrus and shark are the "Best"!!! Girl, as far as I'm concerned you are always "On a Roll" and right on, I might add. 😊 All great teachers, learn as they go, and pass it on Bravo!! I love this video so much, and knew I would learn a better way, no matter what, and the "split screen" is genius!! Thanks Louise, I appreciate your talents and passing what you learn on to us...Take care...🤗☺❤
Thank you, Jude, I had fun making it, but it was only in the creation of the video that I realized I needed to do a double video and how to use my husband‘s phone to get a different angle. But I knew going with the split screen from different angles would be beneficial, especially to illustrate points from one side or the other. I’m glad you enjoyed it and my walrus and shark renditions.😂😂😂 nothing like pulling out a few animals to illustrate a point🤣 once again thank you for being here in all of your support all the time. I appreciate it.
@@LouiseMcKayArt One should always compliment something or someone they enjoy in life...🤗☺❤
Mind blown! Never thought about angle… I blow in between high and low… but I love the low blow cells! Thank you so much! Can’t wait for the lip tutorial😁😉
Thank you, Sally, yeah, it is amazing. What the slightest differences can do in the result. I don’t know if we’re gonna do a lip tutorial I mean for crying out loud.😂😂😂😂 I don’t want people getting too close to my wrinkles🤣🤣
@@LouiseMcKayArt wrinkles sminckles! We all have them… especially at my age! No one is going to notice your fine lines! Just pucker up and do it for all of us little walrus sharks who want to get better at it… 😃👍
@@LouiseMcKayArt Oops, we've already seen them Louise lol. They look just like mine, only way less.🥰.
@@userMarinainCol your notification just came through and I’m like what in the world is she talking about and then I had to see the thread that it led to ha ha ha 🤣 😂😂 I wonder how many more wrinkles that blowing is added to my face😂😂😂😂😂
@@sallyferriter4868 hi Sally, now I see this notification I didn’t see it before because it’s attached to some other run of notices. Honestly, I don’t know if I really wanna make a video like that, maybe in a one on one tutorial but I don’t think I’m going to do a video and put it out for public consumption. I think I’ll leave the lip discovery to you guys.😂
Great tips Louise. Very helpful ❤
Thank you so much, Jeanette🧡😘 I appreciate your continued support👍🏼
I think that might be why I seem to use so much more cell activator than I should. I am not blowing correctly and should concentrate on the said mechanics of my embouchure. As always you are an enormous help for beginners and more advanced for fine tuning us all. Wonderful tutorial.
Thank you so much, 😘Janice, and feel free to share with anyone. I’m trying to grow my channel so every new subscriber helps. And what I’m putting out is definitely helpful so it was a win-win. I appreciate you being here and your comment and your support.😘
I always mention you, by golly my husband even knows of you. @@LouiseMcKayArt
Awesome tutorial Louise! A lot of helpful hints and tricks!
Thank you so much, Karen, maybe some is familiar?? You have no idea how much I learned in that classroom with you and everyone else😘 thank you so much for making it possible🧡🧡
Amazing you are very good. Excellent.
Thanks so much😘Debora , please share
Simply AMAZING!!! I Love your channel you are so helpful and interesting and easy to watch. Thank you.
Thank you so much, 😘Janice. I really appreciate your comment. Makes me feel good because I know not all channels are the same and I’m glad that you found me. Please share if you’re able to do so help us both grow.😘
Hello friend wonderful tutorial thanks for sharing this video
Thank you so much, 😘Ronak, I always appreciate you being here even though I know this is not your typical Art form😘
Wow, great job teaching!
Thanks so much 😘🧡Debbie and Welcome… I think you’re new here. If so, please note that you can check out my playlists and see all of the different creations, broken down by category, feel free to Peru around. I’m hopefully going to have another creation released today. It’s really pretty cool.😃
I’m practicing on small canvases before I try wooden trinket boxes, and I wish I had viewed this vid first. VERY helpful about “finding your mouth” … I couldn’t figure out why my blowing on the CA was causing it to slide over to the far side. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Kim. I’m glad this helped. I really appreciate you leaving your thoughts.😘🧡
I'm on my way to try now. I had NO intention of painting today lol.🥳
Way to go, Marina there she blows😘🤣
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial.. it’s extremely helpful!
Thanks so much 💙Diane, glad this is helpful!😘
This was so helpful!!! I have a lung issue but use an air brush. I learned so much from this video though. I always set my air brush at a very low PSI, like my breath would be. However what I learned is the angle!! Thank you so much for this!
Thanks Debra, 🧡there is so much to know!😘
Louise, thank you! This helps a lot and makes perfect sense!
Thanks so much🧡, Debbie, glad I was able to explain it in the way that makes sense😘
This was amazingly helpful. Thank you for sharing this. You are awesome @
Thank you so much🧡, Phyllis, I appreciate you being here and leaving your thoughts😘
Please keep me posted when you teach another class. Thank you in advance.🙋♀️😊
Thank you so much, 😘Diane, I unfortunately don’t have a whole lot of say so and what artist get picked up to do teaching. If you have any contact with Lee Masse, maybe put a good word in for me😉
Thank you. So helpful as always.
You are so welcome! Allen Press, I appreciate you being here😘🤗
Wow! Now I can see what I was doing wrong, I was all over the place sharking when I needed to walrus 🤦🏻♀️ also for some reason I was blowing a forceful breath and driving my CA way down into the pillow, you might say I was whale blowholing it. 😂 Thanks 👍🏼 excited to giving this a try, I was about to give up 💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Raven Moon 😂 absolutely hilarious, I love the way you said this. I’m glad that this tutorial helped you see what you might have been doing, 🧡it’s all about learning and trying new things and figuring out what works for you. I’m glad this hopefully helped and hopefully you’ll get good results.😀
Awesome tutorial -- I'm saving this one! Thanks again for being such a good teacher!
Thank you so much, Deborah🧡😘. Hope all is well and one of my favorite states Vermont.👍🏼
@@LouiseMcKayArt Excellent. Busy with art shows. As soon as I get a blow out done, I'll tag you on it!
Thank you so much this was so helpful
Thank you so much🧡😘, and if you’re new, please take a look at my playlist, I do a lot of functional art, and I have many creations, broken down by category, lazy, Susans, clocks, coasters, charcuterie boards! And I appreciate you leaving your comment. I have another video coming out this afternoon, a clock creation! Welcome!
Brilliant video, Louise! Thank you so much! I’m about to go give this a try.
Thank you Katie, 😘it’s works to get your center, silly as it may seem! Centers you right to until you muscle memory it!
Louise, you amaze me! i always learn something new from you. I have been teaching in my community but always using the palette knife a la Jessica. I want to teach the blow to my more advanced student so Ive been breaking down the many aspects of blowing. It really helps that I now know more about what I'm doing (duh!!!) you are my guru! I will be checking out the one for mouth shape, next.
Thank you so much, 😘Maureen, maybe I could take a lesson or two of your swipes. And I don’t think I’m gonna be doing a lip tutorial as logistically. I don’t know how I would set up a camera showing lips and blow at the same time and I really don’t think I want people to get that close to my lips now that they’re getting a little wrinkly.😅 I think I will leave the lip to your creative devices. Thank you for being here.😘
Very very helpful!!
Thank you so much, Bailey, I always try to be helpful😘 and if you’re just starting out, be patient with yourself. It takes a little while. And you don’t need a blow as hard as some people might think. I know when I was teaching class people were blowing like crazy and it’s just a firm gentle blow. Have fun with it.
This is an awesome video! Thank you so much for doing it!! No one has ever explained it better. I even took a course with Shelee at Pourcon and never learnt this. Mind you they were big class sizes and very little time. So no fault to Shelee because she just didn't have time to explain everything. I had problems because I wear progressive glasses. So couldn't decide whether to take them off or leave them on. I think I'm going to buy myself just a cheap pair of readers for blowing and try that. You are a super teacher and so very generous to put the time in to make a video about this. As you said the problem is real! ❤❤❤
Hi Joey, real quick as I have to leave, but I wanted to throw this out there. I also wear progressives, but when I’m blowing, I don’t look through my glasses at all. I’m looking under them. Another free tip! I’m glad this helped it definitely is an eye-opener if you aren’t aware of how to find your blow. I have all kinds of tricks up my sleeve 😂Thank you for your support.😘
@@LouiseMcKayArt If I don't look through my glasses, I may as well be blind!! Got some readers today and they are 350 strength. I was shocked myself!! I didn't they were that bad!! I love all your tricks and you really seem to know to explain things so well. Your voice is soothing as well. All that helps. Also the fact that you really are sincere about getting people to learn. You have "It".
Thank you 🙏 So helpful 🥰
@@LenaEliasson-w4h thank you so much Lena for being here! I think you’re new so welcome, if you have a check, second check out my playlists, I have a variety of creations,broken down my category, most of which is functional art.
@@LouiseMcKayArt Followed you for some time🥰After this video I tried my first valross blow and it was ok 🎉The shark 🦈 not so good🙄But I will keep on practicing 😅
Very very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you so much, Paige for your support and your comment😘
This video was incredibly well filmed, Louise, and the side and front, angles were so helpful. Your explanations were very clear and concise. My biggest problem has also been finding my mouth 🤣. You are an amazing teacher, I sincerely appreciate your giving so freely of your time and energy to guide and assist us. I did the bloom course 3 years ago, but as I couldn’t find my mouth, I have stayed clear of blooming. I have had some truly beautiful blooms, that I have kept. After watching this video, I’m definitely going to practice.
I have a lot of trouble getting White C.A to move/spread across the paints, even though it’s the same consistency as my black. Can you help with this?
Thank you, Louise for all you do 🙏♥️🌹🌹
Thank you Fiona so much for your gracious comment and I have a tip for your white CA…maybe for tip 😉in return!!
The white paint is thicker, use more Floetrol…make it a tad thinner than the black, the halo development will tell you if it’s right
@@LouiseMcKayArt Ahh, thank you 🙏,Louise, I sincerely appreciate you advice. I absolutely love your art and your colour combos always leave me in awe ♥️💐💐
Just started the video, I agree, my best called lazy susan was from my mouth!
Wow, 😮 you must have really a great set of lungs. I used to be a swimmer a long long time ago so I know that helps me, but I can go so far!
Very helpful, thank you!!!!
Planning on trying soon.
Thank you, Michelle and awesome, hope it works for you or certainly helps you. Thank you for being here and your support.😘
Thank you Soo Much!
You’re welcome, thank you for being here!!🧡
Thank you Louise, very instructive.
Thank you so much, Anja. I’m glad. Glad you enjoyed it.😘

I do have a bunch of playlists where I have all of my creations broken down by category if you wanna check some things out. I have a lot of coasters, ornaments, charcuterie boards, Lazy Susan‘s clocks….
I love watching your videos. I’ve learned so much from you !! This video is extremely helpful !! I just got a shipment of IKEA Lazy Susan’s and can’t wait to try it while following your steps. I am new to fluid art and have been watching a ton of videos and have learned who to watch more of and your it for sure ❤
I definitely need to find my walrus and shark 😂 It is hard to do. I had actually been using my hand to blow on to find the middle and then turning my head sideways like a sidewinder to blow out if you picture that one 😆 I’ll find my blow just as you said. Practice Practice Practice 😊 Thanks a million for all you do ❤❤
Thank you so much Debbie 😘and best of luck with the IKEA Lazy Susan‘s, be patient with yourself because it does take some practice and always remember. You can definitely pour over or scrape off of have to be. It also as far as the blow find what works for you For sure, but after teaching the class in DC and seeing what I saw, I felt like it was definitely something worth sharing. Once I realized a way of sharing how to find your target. I’m glad my videos have been helpful, I really appreciate your support and good words. You probably already know I have a playlist with different tutorials that might be helpful. Keep on painting.😘🧡
That’s a great video, thank you 😊
Thank you, Jane, I hope it helps💙
Louise thank you so much that was wonderful. im excited to go and do it. so informative
Thank you Kathryn, glad this is helpful and go get ‘em!
Louise just love your videos. Will you consider teaching a class in Florida? If you do it would be great for every one especially me
Hi Joyce, I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. If an opportunity comes up to teach in Florida and I’m asked by the powers that be I would consider doing it, I did teach in Washington DC with the fluid art boutique, and I really enjoyed it so just need the opportunity.😊
Thank you so much I will be trying that with the walrus and shark next time I try a bloom
Thanks Ann, I hope this helps you 😘🧡
