I have just recently discovered these amazing techniques in painting. I do not know why it has taken so long. I have been viewing many videos from many artists. I appreciate your very explicit directions for each step. I take note on everyone's techniques and recipes, but really appreciate your repetition and clear directions. I have been gradually stocking up on necessary supplies and am almost ready to begin. I simply can't get over the beauty of these techniques. LOVE them! Thank you. I am a special education teacher at high school level, who uses many art forms for hands on opportunities as my students discover their passion and skills. We do needle felting, painting, beading, and other mediums besides just academics. We sell our products and use the money to give back to our local rural Maine community.
That’s amazing. I know I can’t believe it took me so long to find this as well! So glad you have and you have an amazing story with your school!!! Keep up the amazing work you do with those kids! ❤️🥰❤️
Could I use decoart duraclear (it's a polyurethane) instead of minwax polycrylic? I hate spending too much money in the beginning, when I'm trying to learn a new technique. Would I get the same results? I love those blooms. They are beautiful. I hope I can do that.
Thank you!🥰 I have a different recipe for the Dutch pour. Here is one of my videos. Several more but it has the recipe in the description as well. th-cam.com/video/BhjPDQwfsK0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ebKjKX0XVD53JRcp
Love the video. I have looked at many recipes, think I like this one the best. Do you have to prep the tiles with anything or just use as is. They are so slick I'm not sure the paint will stick. Also, what do you put on the back of the tiles.
I do t prep the tiles and I do t out anything in the back. I let them dry on top of bottle tops from my iced team bottles. 😜 then they just drop and I scrape them off if needed the next time I use them. The paint doesn’t slide off the tile. It works great!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. It couldn’t be much clearer than that. I was wondering, though, and this may be an odd question but do you need to blow by mouth or can a mini blower be used. I don’t suppose spit plays a part in the chemical reaction?? I know, weird question, but if you don’t ask, you don’t know.
Can you tell me what you use to put your spinner in so the paint doesn't go flying everywhere? I work in my dining room so I really can't spin things out properly because I can't have paint going all over the place. Thank you 🙂
very good video. explained it very easily. thanks for sharing what you do. (note, people calling it a chemical reason, but its really just a matter of physics due to the consistency and right mixtures, not chemical reaction but a physics result.) all's good though. again. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the info! Im not sure if I said "chemical reason" this is an older video but you are correct...it has to do with physics and it does have to do with what projects are used within each mix and the different thicknesses. I think people say Chemical reaction becuase for some products it looks almost instatinious which people view as a chemical reacation rather than a physical reaction. I think people just love to paint and the reaction is very cool!
@@RhondasTriRRRtistry yea. cell activation, chemical reaction. i guess does not matter really. its called such by so many now. just mention to let new people know that "those" are based on mathematics vs a product alone is all. and vs learning what products do vs mix vs outcome. just terms really. not a biggie. knowing and practicing enough can be 2 different things. that;s me still learning those techniques. in flow art LOL but i work around several obstacles so takes me much longer in practice of it all. anyway, you do great work. turns out very pretty. so thanks for sharing. I appreciate.
Hi There! What a great, detailed, and PERFECT tutorial!!! :D I have a question, if you donmt mind answeing possible?? 😬Do you think it would be okay to use the sw in base b? i accidentally grabbed that instead of the c and was just wondering if you would recommend using it (i heard yiou say something about their ARE other bases you can use but wasnt sure if you were referring to brands or the base itself) or do you think it would dull my colors too much?? i dont live anywhere near the store i bought it or near any store at all that sells the stuff for that matter, so i could take it back and really really just wanna dive right in to trying this? thankk you for this GREAT tutorial!! it helped me sooo sooo much!!! you have no idea!! I also just acquired about 4 ozs of aussie floetrol that im DIEING to TRY it out but of course, i do not want to waste a single drop of that liquid gold!!! lol! TIA!! and thank you again for such a great in depth tutorial! Pour Big & Love Hard!!❤🧡💛💚💙💜💖
@@RhondasTriRRRtistry Thank you so much for your honest opinion Rhonda! As soon as i whip something up and make a bloom i would absolutely love to share it w you!! 🥰 Pour Big & Love Hard!! ❤🧡💛💚💙
I followed your recipe to the letter and for some reason, mine didnt just crack, it seperated! It was one of the prettiest blooms i had ever done. I am heart broken. What did i do wrong? I made sure everything was measured and stirred well. Do yours do that?
On no…I’m so sorry. It is my favorite formula to use. So let’s isolate each element. Was there a fan near by in your drying area? Or a vent from the air conditioner? That’s first step. If the top drys too fast then that can cause really bad cracks.
Really inspiring work and beautiful results. I'm not sure how the products you use for cell activation translate to the products available here in the UK - I'll need to do some research. Just wondered though....the layers of paint appear quite thick. Is there no danger of cracks appearing as they dry? Total novice here, so apologies if it's a daft question.
No apologies necessary! It is a GREAT question. The paints are thicker and if you don’t spin off enough of the paint it can indeed crack. So you do want to make sure you stretch the paint either by tilting or spinning it off. Thanks for watching and ask any questions you have. That’s how you learn! Take care
I know you did the instructions in great detail, but I'm still confused. The mixture 3 part swgbc and 1 part minwax pollcrylic clear gloss. Is this your pouring medium? If so, why do you add minwax to your color paints first? I have all of your ingredients except the glue. What could I use instead? Thank you for your videos.
Yes 3 parts SWBC with the 1 Part Minwax. That’s the medium for the color paints then I add that 1 to 1 with the paint. So the medium is one part and the paint is one part. I only add a little more minwax if the paint is too thick. I hope that makes sense. And the Glue…I have used floetrol instead. Try that and see how it turns out. Let me know if you have any more questions. 🥰
I do sometimes. They both work. It all depends on what I’m wanting to do at the moment. I tend to blow with my mouth for a small tile and then the hair dryer in a larger canvas and a larger puddle of paint. .
Ives tried a number of cell activators and this is my favorite with American floetrol. Cell Activators (CA) #3: THIS IS THE ONE I USED in this Video 3 Parts American Floetrol 1 Part Glue-All 1 Part Amsterdam Paint (any color) 3-6 drops of Minwax Polycrylic Wood Conditioner - Clear Gloss I will sometime but won’t have a video with pigments in the next few weeks. But that is a great idea and will have to do one soon. Thanks!!!
I think I got it now. The swbc paint has no color in it. If it had white added to it, the colors of your paints would change and lighten. That's why I was confused. This recipe is your PM ✅️ and you use it 1-1 with your acrylic paints. I am using liqudex basic paints right now. Thank you for your help.❤

I liked the 3rd one the best.
Thanks!!!
Thank you for all this information! This is what I have been looking for to do blooms .
You are so welcome!!!!
Fantastic! I’m so much less confused! 🥰
Thanks. The Bloom can be confusing with all the different mixes and materials.
@@RhondasTriRRRtistry you’re not lying! ❤️
@@RhondasTriRRRtistry you’re not kidding!
Thankyou for explains the process clearly. I was having such flops & knew it was linked to the consistencies!
You are so very welcome. I’m glad I could help!!!
Excellent information!! Thank you for all your effort and for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!!! 🥰
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very good. Thank you so much.
You are very welcome! Thank you!
Thanks!!
Of course! Thank you!
Absolut schöne Ergebnisse…😍… liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪… Sven

I’m not sure. I’ve never used deccoart duaclear. But I would say try it and see if it works. 🥰
I really benefited watching your tutorial. Do have other tutorials & recipes for Dutch pour? Or would I use that same recipe?
Thank you!🥰 I have a different recipe for the Dutch pour. Here is one of my videos. Several more but it has the recipe in the description as well. th-cam.com/video/BhjPDQwfsK0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ebKjKX0XVD53JRcp
Yep that last one was wacky. Lol its ok we all have thousand like it. So hey what is your spinning tub made out of ?? I need one like that
It is a cake stand rotaing cake turntable with a paint stick duct tape to it. I got it off of amazon for aorund $30 I think. :)

you can use a mini blower...I just dont' have one. :) Spit does not play into it...at least I think. HAHAHA!

It’s a baby/dog pool. It works great! I put puppy pads up the side for the chess paint. I got it on Amazon.
Beautiful! What size tiles are those?
The tiles are 6”x6”. Thank you!

Is there any reason why you can’t use a straw for blowing this out? Thx for the info!
You are very welcome! Nope,no reason. In fact, many artist use straws. You can also use a blow dryer or an air sprayer what ever works for you!

Did you find a British paint that worked, trying to find out, because I'm looking for one. 😊

@@RhondasTriRRRtistry OH ok. Thank you 😊
You bet!!!
Do you toss the tiles away when fix getting the skin off it
No I reuse them over and over again. 😜
Can you make a video on reusing them please
What ??
Is that a child swimming pool you use to contain the splash?
Yep I think it was labeled as a puppy pool when got it. Works great!
Number 3 is your favorite?
What #3
Will you do one using pigments?
Ives tried a number of cell activators and this is my favorite with American floetrol.
