SheleeArt Blooms EASY 1:1 RECIPE! (Single) Ingredient Messing up your Cell Activator! 🤯
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2024
- The Shelee Art bloom technique is a fan favorite. I've started a mini series (check out the first episode: • Shelee Art BLOOM HACK!... ) In this video we're created a pouring medium using no house paints and cell activator with no Australian floetrol. There is a lot of info in the video so here are some thoughts and questions I answer throughout:
- ONE SIMPLE INGREDIENT THAT COULD BE DESTROYING YOUR CELLS
- Challenges with fading cell activator
- Are your colors looking washed out?
- How to extend the life of your cell activator using American Floetrol
- How can I further this experiment?
- Thinning American Floetrol

** Pros and Cons **
New Pouring Medium (1:1) and a small bit of Super heavy gloss gel medium: American Floetrol is readily available in many places. @MixedMediaGirl Pouring medium is made by a small business (support small businesses) and maybe available worldwide.
Homemade base paint (pillow) Recipe by volume: 7 Ounces American Floetrol | 4 Ounces Artist Loft Soft Body (I misspoke in the video and said 3) | 1 Ounce of Amsterdam Titanium White | 1 Ounce of Jo Sonja Gloss Varnish
I found this pouring medium to have more bubbles than other recipes. It may be necessary to let your paints rest a bit longer. This recipe is specific to tube paints (beginner to intermediate paints) like Amsterdam and Master's Touch. The halo reaction doesn't' show nearly as much with this recipe.
Minwax Pre-Stain Conditioner is toxic. Please use this product in a well ventilated area.

You make me LAUGH!! After 5 hours of my unsuccessful cell creation I needed the laugh. Thank you for all of your videos...I just found your channel today!! I hope your recipes will give me luck. You have beautiful paintings and have great ideas.!!
Just seeing this but awwww big hugs. If you ever need any help reach out to me. Much love.
Awesome! You are the first person I've watched that has explained that the pillow should be the thickest layer, then graduating to thinner layers as you move up. Makes sense from a science standpoint. Can't wait to try that!
Yay! Well I hope you have been having happy pouring. Thanks for watching.
LOL - no pint injured in this video. 🤣🤣🤣. WOWZERS the results are STUNNING
Yes we kept it safe! Much love and big hugs Kim. :)
I’ll be darned, I’ve never seen ANYONE demonstrate the efficacy of the activator by the cells left on the stick after scraping it. Very cool!!
I liked the cells created using the Artist Loft instead of house paint but think I do prefer the bigger cells. My main take aways from this is that I don’t HAVE to use Aussie floetrol and now know how to check my activator to see if the stuff will even give me results I like. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I definitely subscribed and am so glad to see a guy doing fluid art that I love. ❤
Thank you so much Alice for your kind words. You definitely have other choices to the Aussie flow. More to come in 2024! Much love!
Merci Garrick! Tu es formidable d’expérimenter et de partager tes trouvailles qui sont très utiles car c’est compliqué et très cher d’avoir du floetrol australien à Strasbourg. Merci😘👍💝
One of the differences between USA and Australian floetrol is linseed oil very good catch you are very smart. Love the way you teach. Thank you
You are the second person to tell me this. I must keep experimenting!
Love your energy!
My understanding is that the mixed media girl pouring medium is simply glue and little bit of gloss medium. It’s super expensive to purchase it from her versus just making it yourself. Also, there have been a ton of alternate ingredient ideas out there for the bloom technique, but whenever I compare, finished results, the house paint, and Aussie floetrol ones always seem to look better.
Thanks for watching! I definitely feel where you are coming from with the Aussie flow. I have a couple blooms that side by side you cannot tell but definitely agree with you that the aussie/untinted is the best BUT I recognize its not available for everyone and ppl simply just eant options and I totally get that too haha. Nowwww I will say I am working on a new recipe that is very promising. So far it is producing some really great results. Much love to you! ❤️
Hello Garrick,
Another great video and class for all of us. I love your attitude, and wanting to help us out with alternative products. Thinking outside the box for sure. Thanks again 😊
Everyone came out stunning. Thank you for all the tips you gave. I’m glad to see you don’t need house paint or Australia floetrol. It’s so expensive. I love watching your channel always positive in all your pours. Thank you for sharing
Patti there are several alternatives it's just hard to navigate what works for you. I am hoping I can help with that some. Thanks for the love.
These are great!! Someone on a video I watched said they fax a friend who broke down the chemical composition of Australian Floetrol, and one of the ingredients was linseed oil. So you may be onto something by adding that to your cell activator either way they’re still very pretty.❤
Had*
REALLY?!?!?!? OMG this is so interesting!!! What else did they say? I am truly intrigued! Back to the lab I go...
@@GarrickBrownArtStudio I wish I could remember and whose video it was!! Excited to see what you are going to create!
@@GarrickBrownArtStudio I was thinking for better cell structure add more linseed oil because it improved the cell structure the first time! I would say go 5-10 drops at a time for more precision
@@brittanymetelus I'm definitely going to try it!!!
I love watching experimental videos!!!! Love your energy 😊
Thank you so much 🤗 More to come!!!
Thank you for this wonderful video!! Love to see the videos when you are experimenting! 😊
You are more than welcome. I miss making this kind of content... but the feedback is evident I need to do more and show the ideas that swirl in my head.
Loved this experiment
Thank you for being such a generous teacher, that was super useful!
Glad you enjoyed it! You are more than welcome.
Thanks for sharing! Always nice to have an alternative! Great job!❤
You are so welcome!
Extraordinary experiment, awesome pouring outcome & great tutorial video Garrick 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️🙂
Thank you bro! Much love!
I love your experiments! I loved the way they all came out! I am always up for something that is less expensive and can do the same job.
Absolutely! I am frugal by nature so I'm super thrilled with this video.
You are incredibly positive energy. I really liked your performance. Your drawing was great. Thank you for the good explanation you provided
Thank you so much!
Thanks Garrick! ❤ I’m always looking for an alternative to Aussie floetrol so I’ll give it a try.
More about this coming soon too...
Good Morning Garrick......
As always a pleasure to sit chilling watching your fantastic experience of breaking down different types & methods of products etc.
Your Passion & commitment to all you do always brings me to your videos to learn more.
Have a Beautiful day & many Blessings to you and your family.
Neil ( south coast uk )🙏❤💯😎
Hey Neil!!! Hope you are well. thrilled you enjoyed this one. Much love.
You are definitely on to something my friend. Yes I eould love to see more experiments ❤❤❤
Thanks Lillian!!! Big hugs. I'm testing some more concoctions 😁❤️ Miss you. Your video is coming up too!
Try just US floetrol 9:1 with Amsterdam paint. No water. No oil. You might be surprised.
I sure will! So nine parts American floe? 1 part paint?
Give or take depending on paint thickness to start.
Do you do the other parts of the technique in a regular way? Like pillow paint, colors?
How much of each , kindly please ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰
Awesome idea❤, thank for the use of tiles.
Gracias 🎉me encanta tu tecgnica felicidades eres muy generoso .en compartir .
You should be in a Nut Gallery House because only a crazy person can create such beautiful art like you do so simply. You're a genuis and so easy to listen to and I do have an Art degree and everyone says I'm nuts...most artist are a little bit crazy, but the best people to be around.
Awww just seeing this but definitely made me smile. I truly appreciate you. I am a little wacky haha. Big hugs and much love. ❤❤❤
Great video and beautiful results.
Thank you friend.
Really interesting experiment and beautiful coasters Garrick 😍💕
Thank you so much Julie.
Thank you for the video, I have 3 bottles of Aussie Floetrol but now I won't worry so much about using them up.
True! I'm also testing mixing half and half... nothing like saving that precious liquid gold. 🤑❤️
Great job thank you very much Garrick this is absolutely helpfull 👏👏👏
Thank you for always watching Domi!
Thank you for this experiment, very informative
You are more than welcome!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure!
Great tips thanks for showing us an alternative method to using Australian floetrol
Gerri you are more than welcome. I'm testing a couple others... hopefully an even more helpful video to come very soon. Thanks for always watching!
Thank you, great explanations, I like the one with the blue/green, so pretty
Thanks for watching!
I learned a lot from this video. Thank you.
More than welcome Dusty.
Thank you. There are so many options that I am just confused as to what to do!!..Your paintings are. beautiful!!
Thank you so much. Yes that is where people get all confused. Find 1-2 artist and stick with them and their recipes until you got it and then explore more lol.
Great job ❤

Yes! It gives us more options. Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much Garrick
You are very welcome

😂😂😂yo made me rofl,thank you and what to say just beautiful,thank you for sharing this with us! 👋From Slovenija Europe
Aww huge hugs!!
Thank you for your insights.🙏🙏
Victoria you are more than welcome. :)
That was really interesting. As i live in Australia obviously i use that floetroel as it is very cheap for us. I haven't checked out our pre stain conditioners. I love watching experiments.
Thanks so much Lesley! I've missed doing these type of videos and decided to bring them back. I have a couple more I'm really excited about. BIG HUGS!
This is fantastic 👏 😊. I am in the uk and Australia Floteral is expensive as is artist loft soft bodied paint.... so using these would be fantastic. Thank you 😊
Thanks for watching Maddy! Big hugs!
Garrick why do u use min wax conditioner for please
Thank you for your tips and trix 😊 are the minwax waterbased or oil ?
These are very cool Garrick. What do you use to clean the dried surface of the coasters so you can varnish or resin them? Thank you.
I clean them with a wet cloth and alcohol wipe or if it has alot of silicone on it wipe it clean the best you can then put cornstarch on top to absorb the rest for about 30 mins. Before cleaning it off wipe it in with little swirls then wipe down with a alcohol wipe and you are set.
@@GarrickBrownArtStudio Thank you!
I wanna try this with a little bit of the decoart white enamel stuff as a pillow mixture with the white acrylic instead of house paint- just to see what happens. I'm curious to see if it'll make a difference.
I am sure it will work. You definitely want it to sit like a mound on your canvas. This video may help as well: th-cam.com/video/yxzP3ZVMZfE/w-d-xo.html
@polycromatimess
Dry silicone, silicone alternative
This video is about Blaster garage door lubricant…. Hope you see….
Have you ever tried to add Golden’s Wetting Aid to mixtures with water? It reduces surface tension of water and increases paint flow when paint and water are mixed. Curious how this medium would affect paint pouring.
I haven't but intrigued now to try it!! Thanks for the tip.
@@GarrickBrownArtStudio I learned about wetting aid from Marina Dunbar! She uses it in her acrylic flow inspired art
I want to try this on a small around table. What. Can I put over this to protect it. I was thinking maybe an epoxy resin topcoat. Any suggestions
Not sure if I totally understand but are you trying to figure out how to protect it in case you don't like it or how to preserve it if you do like it lol?
Preserve it. I want to paint a table top.
I'm wondering about the pouring medium you added to your paint, does it has to be Mixed Media Girl's? What about making a coloured pillow. Could we use any colour we want and just mix it to the same consistency?
I just decided to test out her pouring medium. I'm sure there are others that would work but I absolutely love supporting small businesses when I can. I'm sure you can do a colored pillow but that doesn't fancy me... lol that's one more element that I have to figure out. Every product could potentially produce a different reaction.
@@GarrickBrownArtStudio Yes, I like to support small business too, but I am in Canada and the postage and exchange rate kill me. I support my small local art store where I live. Thank you for answering my questions!!
Have you tried putting the MinWax into a 4 oz bottle with a push pull top? Doing this would probably mean recalculating the quantity of MinWax as the drops would likely be bigger But the bonus is you wouldn’t have to breath the fumes
I haven't but honestly it is worth trying. Thanks for the tip! Never stop learning in this artform. Much love and big hugs! ❤️
New to this media… may be dumb question… the other paints you used in this video (the colors and base paint) did you mix them with anything like water or floetrol? Or are they straight out of the tube and the cell activator does all the rest?
No dumb questions bro! The base paint comes from the can straight. My paints are mixed with pouring medium.
Turn up the volume.
What type of tile do you use?
Tiles of home depot or lowes work and they are super cheap!
Do you use more tiles than canvas
I used to but now more canvases due to comissions! Tiles are great for practice.
Thank you
Hi, where is your studio for classes
Hey I'm hosting my next retreat in Durham, NC!
Dang now I’ve got to go get mine ax, lol, there’s no room on the shelf for more products
Lol!!! Try one product at a time my friend. Thank you for watching.
You said you don't use the Minwax very often. Why is that?
It's toxic and annoying to work with. If you spill jsut a little it smells awful. I'm testing some more products right now! Thanks for watching.
Hello , I really like your work, but your audio needs a little work dude😊
@Stephaine West Thanks for requesting improvement on Garrets audio this is a Really important need for Myself being diagnosed with severely loss of hearing . It’s so important for me even if you at your best on your audio Garret The Captions is the last resort for myself and everyone else that my be in the same shoes as myself by being able to click the captions/English is my definite way I know I am reading what garret is speaking.. Garret making that a available option is a must for myself and many many more especially if they requesting in a different language..I just subscribed and a couple of your videos the caption was not available.I struggled hearing you because of your audio but could not fall back to caption because it wasn’t available.. Reading it along with good audio helps myself so much to understand what your great videos , your teaching your tips is so important to myself and to others struggling to hear .. thanks Stephanie for this brought up to garret’s attention.. I am not sure if he gets this Comment or if it’s just yourself.. If it just yourself I am truly sorry for the aggravation of bothering you , But if Garrett gets this notification Great if he doesn’t please let me know ?? Thanks!!
Thanks for watching! Yes I am working on it with new mics and adjustment. Much love!
Erster!!!!
Nice work,!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the love. I am so glad it was helpful!
