Your artistry has been magnificent. Those paintings are super gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a wonderful day or evening. Happy New Year’s.
Thanks Tiff for posting the cloud mixes. I appreciate you doing this for people like me! I liked #2 and #5 the best. Can't wait to try some of these recipes out!!
Thanks for sharing. We can’t get Snaml here in Australia at the moment. I can’t find it. I’ve brought it once and we can’t get Liquitex. Thank you so much
Aww yay!!! Yeah I did blooms for years starting in the fall of 2019 then just fell in love with clouds in the fall of 2021 and haven't looked back lol ! Have fun!!!
This is the first time I've heard of using a pearl medium for cloud mixes honestly. I know Fiona uses it for her flower dips and stuff but I'm really glad you posted these other options, too. I love doing cloud pours but the last few times did NOT turn out like I wanted, so this is definitely worth exploring! Thanks! Your work is lovely, btw. Lol. Like all of it. I'm a stroke survivor and tilting is challenging for me sometimes cuz uhm noodle arm, but the spinning makes sense so may look into that as well. Right now I just have a little 8 inch lazy Susan type deal. Lol. Yay experiments!!
Yeah I've been using Vallejo for a year and a half...I love it. Always good to have other options....but I confess...it's my fave. Have fun!!! And definitely use that spinner!
Thank you so much for your cloud recipe using Vallejo Pearl Medium. I bought some a while back and tried it a few days ago. It worked perfectly on two 20X20 canvasses. For me, that is a miracle! I hope they get Vallejo Pearl Medium in soon. I am going to buy a few bottles next time. Thank you again for sharing your special recipe. I look forward to seeing more videos.
Woohoo!!! So happy it worked for you!! I just got a shipping notification for some bottles I purchased back in April so I am good to go personally until the stock returns elsewhere. I was worried I wasn't going to be able to use it for PourCon but that's not the case anymore. Whew. Anywho....glad you love it! I'm going to be doing 2 20x20s here in the next few weeks!
@@WillieBStudios Thanks Willie. I am on a wait list at Blick, but I probably should just buy it and wait for the shipment to come in. I can't wait to see your 20X20s! I love bigger canvases. Thanks again.
@@WillieBStudios I have a 24 X 30 canvas I may try if I can decide on the colors. I did one in blues and one in browns with my favorite Amsterdam bronze color. I would show them to you, but I can only email them to you. I will be 83 in July and not very techie. LOL Since I am planing to live to 105, I have lots of time to paint! Hugs
This came at a perfect time because I’m trying to do one of these for my Thursday video. I was hoping you would have the recipe and I just happened to check before painting today. Thanks for sharing this and have a great week!
I’m thinking 1 or 3 because I just got the Liquitex, but I’ve had some good cloud swipes with the satin enamel. Fingers crossed, lol! Thank you so much for subscribing!! You’re one of my favorite artists to watch so that’s huge! I’ve been posting for almost 3 months and it’s been a blast so far meeting so many great artists.
@@WillieBStudios Welp, I need to try again tomorrow, lol. I think my paint isn’t thick enough because it all sort of washes together. I wish I was taking your class, but all the early birds got the worm on that one. 😂
@@WillieBStudios That just made that top even better top lol attached to a dress w pockets, I'd be in love with it It goes really great with your skin tone!!
Thank you soooo much for this Tiffany. I was wondering about Liquitex iridescent medium and hadn't considered the Amsterdam Pearl white. You saved the day. I'll be trying these. I agree with you that satin enamel tends to be too chalky, so I love the look you get with the iridescent medium. Have you experimented with Behr Satin Enamel at all?
I love 4! It's so dramatic. But 5 is nice too. What will we be using in Vegas? I was really looking forward to trying the Vallejo! Thank you for all the recipes.
@@joeycasey2323 yep I have 3 bottles on backorder since late March and I have a few bottles here in my studio. Just keeping an eye out and praying for PourCon lol
Ty for all your experimenting Tiff! I think it just all depends on what you actually want with your clouds rather it be "defined" lines, (I was trying to help ya out with that word but ya couldn't hear me lol. gotta love allergy season. I suffer from it as well.) transparency, defined lines AND transparency, softer or faded clouds, ect. All of these are great options. I like 4 AND 5. There are so many more pearlescent mediums and/or paints out there too so maybe 1 of them would work exactly the same. I was thinking of adding something to bulk up the luiqitex Pearl Medium because its so thin... hmm...Gonna try it tomorrow or the next day with something to make it thicker?...then some S.E. maybe if it don't work? Not sure yet? Anyhoo, ty for sharing this gurl. I hope you feel better soon. It sounds like we all may be waiting a bit for the vallejo BUT we made clouds before without it. I think we can all get through this, right? lol. I'm here for ya gurl! I'm laughing trying to make light of it but that stuff was just easy peezy and hit different. Again, TY for all the testing. I went old school MD style last week with specific brands of colors and let my paints sit forever. Just how I remembered it! Super Pretty clouds.:) Just a little... different is all. I'm sure you know what I mean. Plus, the extra ingredients. Like I said, We'll get through this as a community until Vallejo gets there sh*t figured out.;)lol. We'll be fineee. You just provided some great recipes for ppl! Now go relax!;) Hope you have a great week Tiff! Get better soon! xox P.s. I've been sitting on an oldschool A.L. flow acrylic bottle for some time now. shh. i've only ever told one other person and that was Tara! It Lets me compare and I'll savor that thing til the last drop! It's like a piece of history! Literally!! lol ;)
Yeah it all totally depends on what each person prefers! As far as other pearl mediums....I had 5 I was trying out! The only one that even came close was the Liquitex Iridescent Medium. All the others made the cloud...grainy. The mica bits in the Vallejo are sooo tiny...whereas the others ( Sargent's, decoart, Windsor and Newton...and I can't remember the last one off hand 🤦♀️) were much bigger or it was so dang thick that even thin ing down didn't do great things. That's totally why I widdle it down to the 5. But yes...Mely Ds original recipe is amazing. I just happen to not love thin paints and I wanted more structure! Frigging cloud pours...they get under your skin in the best way....and I just want to chase all the different options lol. Thanks for chiming in and dang....allergy season....I hope you stay free from the stuffy nose and itchy eyes! Oh and the Iridescent medium is super reactive....that's why in the first recipe I have just a bit of it with the Amsterdam. Just use it with another tube white. Now, I don't think I tried it with just the satin enamels....I have to go and look in my little book to see what I did. A few of the recipes I tried before getting to the best 5, did split or flocc. Yuck lol
@@WillieBStudios 😳 wow gurl ok! I didn't realize you were trying SO MANY different ones! Dang! See, I am not a fan of the thinner paints either that is why I am totally on your side with this one! So for me, I want something that's thicker and looks pretty much the same as the old school cloud pour but with more structure as well. So I keep looking at the old school ones I have thinking ok, what can I do to get it like that but how "I" want it 🤔... If that makes sense. Lol. Yeah you get it!❤️ It's all your fault Tiff!💁🏻♀️ With your GORGEOUS & STUNNING cloud pours everyone caught on and put Vallejo out!! 😂 NOOO Im JK JK!! I am NOT however kidding about ur gorgeous & stunning cloud pours though! 😉💕 Geez, you've put in SO much work & given some GREAT recipes here like I said! Thank you SOO MUCH for all your grind and experimentations!! You are SOOO appreciated more then you know!!! 😘❤️❤️❤️🤗 P.s. I even thought of adding some gel medium to make the liquitex pearl medium thicker but haven't tried it yet. Great tip on where to start. Thanks hun ❣️🤗 cloud pours are a love hate relationship is all! 😂
@@jessicalarson3758 haha yeah I went a tad crazy! I'd say try recipe #1, 2 or 5. They all give slightly different results. And like I said ...I mixed these up and used right away...so I would let them sit a couple of days then try them!. I think I am actually gonna do some 12inch pieces with #2 and 5 today... 🤔 Or 1 and 5 ..can't decide. Lol. I sincerely appreciate all the love and really do hope this helps❤️❤️❤️
@@jessicalarson3758 oh yeah...and you could totally add some gel gloss to the Iri medium. You still need to put it with another white paint though. You just might need to adjust your floetrol ratio 😉 or add a splash of water.
@@WillieBStudios Oh yeahhhh gurl YOU TOTALLY helped me out with this cause I was working with the just the soft body and the liquitex pearl medium. Seeing the different pics and everything you presented... lets just say you have saved me from A LOT of testing and I definitely will be trying the ones you suggested!! :) TYSM dear sweet Tiff! You are so very appreciated... you really have no idea!!😘
I'm new to this you tube stuff and have a question. You say the recipes ate in the description but where do I find the description? I've looked thru all the comments and I'm totally lost! Thank you
Thanks! Honestly I've never tried a cloud pour with Aussie Floetrol. It's so expensive here so I don't dare use it! I would say try it! Start with less floetrol and see how the consistency is...then go from there.
1,3 and 5 my favourite!Useless, anyway because in the Eu satin enamel is expensive and hard to find.. but I can still buy Vallejo Pearl medium and at a resonable price (one month ago)...
Well hey if you can get Vallejo ...awesome!!! I am desperately trying to source some to take to PourCon for my class I'm teaching but I only have 3 bottles on the way to me from Great Britain. I need around 12 total. 😭
I have one more question for you, sorry. You use the Artist loft new soft body and I haven't been using that because I don't have any so I use regular artist lot white paint. I don't get anywhere near the cloudy, puffy effects you get. Could it be the soft body paint? I'm talking about your recipe with Vallejo Pearl mix.
You have to use the recipe in my video to get the reaction like mine. If you don't have the soft body white ...you can use Amsterdam titanium white...it will have slightly different effects. The artist loft soft body is very reactive.
Thank you for all of your time, work and expense bringing this to us. That is an educator’s heart. Thank you.
Your artistry has been magnificent. Those paintings are super gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a wonderful day or evening. Happy New Year’s.
I like 1 and 5 😊 Thank you for sharing these other options❣️
Oooh, I love 1 and 4 next. Thank you for being so inspiring. Wishing you a fab bank hols ❤
#5 is the one I like. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for experimenting to help us all out! So generous❤❤❤
You bet!!!
They are all beautiful😍Thank you so much for all the recipes!
I like 2 and 5, in that order. All are beautiful, though! Thank you! ❣️
I loved 1 and 5 ❤
Wow Amazing so beautiful ❤❤❤
All gorg Love 1 and 5 best
Thanks for sharing recipes and video.
I like number one and 5 I like the more defined lines but also like the ghost lines in number 5 thank you
Favorite is 5 ! 💙☁️ thanks for doing this experiment!!
I actually love 5! I might play around with it today!
I like #2 and #5 the best. Thank you for your video. It was very helpful
Thank you for showing us the different paintings and the recipes you used I really enjoyed one two three and five❤
❤️❤️
My favorite is between 2 and 5. Out of the two number 2 is my favorite!
It's a good ...simple recipe! Not new by any means...but it works with the ALSB really well!
Thanks for this. I like 5 best. I have an idea. Will keep you posted
Yep it's winning out so far for me...with the classic satin enamels recipe next on line.
Thanks Tiff for posting the cloud mixes. I appreciate you doing this for people like me! I liked #2 and #5 the best. Can't wait to try some of these recipes out!!
You bet! And remember to add some Gac800 ! That always helps !
Like all for sure but one and 5 I like a lot! Thanks for all your testing and hope your fave is available soon 💜
That's a beauty Willie!! Subb❤👍ed
❤
Thank you for taking all the time to provide this test!!! I really love cloud pours! Cant pick a fav... hope you are feeling much better really soon!

Hi Willie, I love those, so beautiful.
Can I substitute American floetrol with the Australian one? If so, what would be the ratio.
Thanks! Honestly I've never tried a cloud pour with Aussie Floetrol. It's so expensive here so I don't dare use it! I would say try it! Start with less floetrol and see how the consistency is...then go from there.
@@WillieBStudios thank you, I’ll give it a go. I’m just in awe of your cloud pours.
@@WillieBStudios by the way, I really love all of them but if I had to choose it would be number 1.
I mixed the cloud recipe for #1. I know it should be thick, but did you add any water? It’s really thick :) Thanks for showing us other options!
There should be a 3 second trace. If you are thicker than that...you can absolutely add little bits of water until all your consistencies match.
My favorites are 1 and 5.
Thanks for chiming in!
Have you tried Old Holland Pearlescent Medium? I just bought some from Blick and was wondering your thoughts?😊
Old Holland...that's one I'm not familiar with. Is it really thick?
The pearlescent tinting gel medium? Mmmmm I haven't tried that ...but normally the thicker ones don't really do much.

I still have some of the Vallejo pearl. Can you share the recipe for that one? TY

They are your fave or no you don't like them?
