I’ve had great luck with Krylon color max acrylic latex indoor/outdoor satin white paint. It doesn’t say enamel on the can but my receipt and the website says enamel paint, which is why I bought it. It’s given me same results as deco art. I got 2 cans for $20 US from Lowe’s website. Good luck everyone 🙌🏼 Each can is 1qt or 946 ml
I saw this quote last night and thought it appropriate to share with you. I love what you’re doing here on TH-cam and it’s apparent you love creating artwork.

Quote by Henry Drummond. In 2008 when I gave birth to my son, my mom bought me a diary. In the inside cover she wrote how much she loved me and was proud and at the bottom is that exact quote. This comment gave me goosebumps. I don't write in it often but I'm reminded everytime I open the first page. Lotsa love to you Terry.
Love, love, love your work! Love to watch your videos and your straightforward honest explanation of what you’re doing. I save your videos and then try to go back and do what you do. It is not easy! I will definitely give this one a shot. 💙🤍💙🤍
This is so pretty Mely! Thank you for all of your great recipes, techniques and all that you do for our pouring community. I feel I finally belong! I said "our"...for the very first time in the almost 2 years I've been painting. Though, I DO NOT consider myself an artist. I'm 73 yrs old and have never painted before August 2019. I've yet to paint anything that hasn't been inspired by another great artist. So, I guess I consider myself a Knock Off Painter! LOL!!! I just ordered 3 jars of the white satin enamel directly from Deco Art. I bought 2 jars a long time ago and 1 jar left. So, I figured I STOCK UP, if possible. I received an email confirming my order, so, let's see if I do get it. Thank you lovely lady! You are a treasure chest full of gems... to us all! 💎💎💎🌟💥⭐💍😊😍🙋♀️🐇💖😍
You sound so enthusiastic and I love it! I'm so happy for you that you're into it and having a ball :) who cares if you're inspired by others... one morning you'll wake up and make one on youre own without thinking of someone else's work; I'm sure of it. It comes with practice... a lot LOL. Thanks for writing in! Lotsa love to you!
You are sooooo talented. Not only are you an awesome artist, but have taken the time to discover and learn the technical aspects of this form of painting. Thanks for taking the time to teach us
I'm just speechless at your vast creativity. You inspire me so much and have for the last 3 years. These recent paintings are simply amazing and so very beautiful. I thank you again for your sharing all you do. By the way, Decorations has satin enamel but just in a different packaging and it's cheaper there. I bought 5 jars. Happy painting...time for experimenting with the new mix. Many blessings to you and your son
I just went to the decoart website and satin enamel is back as it used to be. Weird as I got a different packaging but now it's back in the old one. I'm confused....well payday getting more for sure.
Your first breath into that paint took my breath away. I love how you are always beyond boundaries and are so willing to share your ideas and videos. Luckily I have scored a new jar of white! Woohoo! Thank you! 🦋
I love it! From all your creations that I've seen, these are my favorites! Of course there's a plus...they are my favorite colors! But I also like the simplicity of it.
Love all the negative space and the gold embellishments really add a wonderful touch. I like the places of solid color that you added. Always love your work. Thanks so much for sharing all the information with us.
Behr Satin Enamels from Home Depot are also sold in sample pots if you want to give it a try. I've found though, that you need to add more than you would the Decoart. This is very pretty!!
For those in the US they can use Behr house paint in the satin finish & it works just about the same. Traci Reed uses it in all her cloud pours & gets great results. Very cool pour Mely, I love it. I luckily stocked up on the Decoart satin a while back also & still have a few jars to play with. 🤩🤩 love seeing new experiments & techniques you come up with. !! Thanks for sharing. 😉😉😉
Gorgeous colors Mel!!! Awesome as always! And I always hear you in my head as I get the nerve to paint..."I'm going for this!" and I always smile and try to have the courage and confidence you, along with so many Awesome artists on here, have :)🥰🥰
You can order your deco art enamels online at decorate website. I bought white, linen and dark blue. I'm new to dutch pour and haven't tried this yet. I love to try lots of different methods and cant wait to try this. Love this piece and the colors you used.
I wish o I had seen this BEFORE I mixed my big surprise find of an extra jars of SE.😉 so my SEAL MIX is too much SE but will last alot longer glad I saw this before I overused It! Cheers and thanks as usual! LOOKING GOOD MelyD! !!
Another winner, I definitely think resin worthy. Thanks for all your experimenting, your creations have contributed so much to fluid art. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to message you about SE back in stock, I felt funny about doing it 😬
Really nice! I have tried Behr Satin Enamel white in 8 oz trial jar for 1/3 price of DecoArt. It is okay in a pinch but seems to get grainy if too diluted. At least that was my experience. Thank you for sharing your new formula. Always such a joy to watch you create.
fyi...I heard from Deco arts yesterday and they said they are not dis-continuing the product...they are trying to get ready to start production again very soon.....Michaels doesn't have it in my town.....
If you want perfect dots use the other end of the paint brush. It is so much easier. I still think this can be done with no satin enamel and just using water with a different mix of paint colour brands. I am so tired of experimenting. I love your blues. ❤️
The whit mix is genus, I love it, the touches of gold cool. I wanted to know if gloss white enamel would work or not. I to can not find satin, it’s crazy!
Hi MelyD 😁 I love your art its stunning!! I'm going to give your technique a try as I'm fairly new to acrylic pouring. I've heard alot about the artisloft flow acrylic changed after 2019 does the new version still work? I'm going to pick up the stuff I need to do this but wanted to double check before I did. Thank you for this technique I can't wait to try it
Don’t tell DecoArts what you want the paints for as I believe they are trying to sell their own brand of premixed pouring paints. Also try JoAnns and Home Depot as sources for your paint. Best of luck lady!! Have watched you since the beginning and you just keep getting better!!
It doesn't change anything if they also have a line of ready to pour paints. What you need are different brands to react with each other to create effects. If they have a ready to pour line I will be very happy and would love to try them! They already have the fluid acrylic line but I've never used them in a large quantity pour.
I finally found SATIN ENAMEL AGAIN !!!! After iver a year of not. Michaels had it. Not sure if they ran out or not. Today is may 26 2021. More than happy to get some fir anyone in crazy need for it. Charge only fir product and snipping of course. ALSO my very favorite GOLD made by deco art. Americana decor Metallics. 24 k gold makes its very own cells which carry colors on its they'er backs. Very badass GOLD !!
You can try a satin enamel from the hardware store, some artists in the US are using it to good effect. Check out Sara Taylor modern art on TH-cam, she uses hardware store satin enamel.
@@lindalambert3077 I use Owatrol Floetrol off amazon in my youtube videos. Its not cheap but it's my go to. I have managed to purchase flood Floetrol off amazon UK also but the definitely wasn't cheap. I just can't get hold of aussie Floetrol here at all.
Wowza💙this looks so fun ! I have to try it! Also. I found the deco art satin enamel on Amazon last week. It was like $31.00. 😳 Too much, but it’s not there anymore. I keep checking in case it returns and at a lower price. I still have some I’m using when I can’t control myself and have do a cloud pour! I love this blowing technique. Groovy!
The last time I looked the Deco Art website offered a couple of colors of the satin enamel. I ordered and received three jars of it in linen two weeks ago. Plus I found three jars of white and one jar of navy at Michael’s in St Louis, Mo. last week.
Very beautiful! Have you ever tried the satin enamels in other colors? Folk Art makes them in 2 oz bottles. I known they are “enamel”, not sure if the bottle says it’s satin. At any rate, this is simple, elegant and gorgeous! Thank you!
Amazzzing love it! I still haven't found the satin enamel so just tried chalk paint + milk paint & def didnt mix either right cuz ended up ruining my paintings:(
Hi Melly, This is gorgeous. How long did you wait for curing before you added the little gold dots. 👏👏👏 I’m from Gatineau, Québec. Where are you from ? I would love a tutorial with you? Diane
Tammy Anderson made a recent video on making your own satin enamels from 3 products from the deco art line, check it out. You never cease to surprise me, keep up the good work!
If u cant find white satin enamels, let whatever color satin enamels u have sit for a while, they start to separate and u can just mix a tiny bit of the clear oily liquid that floats to the top w white liquitex paint to get similar cloud effect.
I see so many faces!! Both large and small and humans and animals! I love the way it ended up. If it were mine? I would have to make one of my “creepy” paintings with it! I finally broke down and sent a few pieces via pm to show what I mean.
So, just wanted to let you know I wrote to decoart and they replied and said that bc of covid they were down to half staff. They did however lead me to their warehouse to buy some. I got 10 of them @7.99 each. If you would like one melyd I'm happy to send you one in Canada
Beautiful artwork. I love watching you create art. Your art is unique.

Very cool! Love it! The magic of the satin enamels! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
Oh girl, you never disappoint! This is such a unique composition, way to keep it fresh and unique! You’re right, less can definitely be more.🤩🤟

So fun and refreshing! Love the hazy vibe this produced. The gold dots just made it say " look at me" even more!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for your continued efforts to come up with a mix that doesn't eat up the satin Enamel. Being it is hard to find. It's beautiful.
Beautiful. Love your art. Very creative! 😊👏👏👏

Michael's doesn't have it here either but thanks for the follow up. I'm happy they aren't discontinuing it !
I could order from Michael's in December 2020 .
I ordered 8 bottles it came in 5 shipments from different locations. Wow , so lucky to get it .

I was able to get my hands on Decoart satin enamel in smoke grey. Will that have the same effects as the white?
Yep it does. Just watched someone’s video with gray decoart satin and it had the exact same effect as the white.
Hi Mely, I've read somewhere that titanium white will not work if mixed with the satin enamel - have you had this experience?
Some folks have been using Behr and getting excellent results.
Amazzzing love it! I still haven't found the satin enamel so just tried chalk paint + milk paint & def didnt mix either right cuz ended up ruining my paintings:(
It's on the DecoArt website everyone is telling me they've ordered there! :)

Malade!! C'est sur qu'il a plein de produits
If u cant find white satin enamels, let whatever color satin enamels u have sit for a while, they start to separate and u can just mix a tiny bit of the clear oily liquid that floats to the top w white liquitex paint to get similar cloud effect.
That is a damn good idea Amber 🖤🖤🖤
@@MelyDartist thanks lol I tried it cuz I cannot find white satin enamel anywhere! (In my part of America lol)its not quite the same but close

Way cool girl
So, just wanted to let you know I wrote to decoart and they replied and said that bc of covid they were down to half staff. They did however lead me to their warehouse to buy some. I got 10 of them @7.99 each. If you would like one melyd I'm happy to send you one in Canada
You're so nice Nina thank you. If ever I run out and can't find some I'll ask :)
