Heather, this is a wonderful collaboration (I love AB's art and subscribe to her YT Channel) and your combo technique butterfly is so pretty! I appreciate that this is not the traditional chain pull on a single-color background. I really like the idea of using the chain pull over a dried painted canvas and using Floetrol to allow the initial painting to show through. I can see other applications for using the Floetrol in place of paint in multi-layered paintings. I also appreciate that you did your own non-precise version of chain pulls (I understand that your disabilities limit your dexterity that's needed for the traditional, precise pulls) and then you hand-embellished the butterfly. I look forward to seeing where you take this combo idea! Great job, Heather!! Much love and big hugs ~Cheryl
I came back to watch this one again - because when I watched it yesterday I really was not feeling well and I did not comment (tho I did hit the like button). Your persistence to get the tiny details just OH so right (with a VERY tedious and difficult technique) is not only admirable, it is amazing!! Creating this beauty over the top of another pour and letting those details shine through was absolutely brilliant Heather!! You see things that the rest of us just do not.... that is, in and of itself, one of the greatest attributes of an artist. AB Creative is also a stunning artist and teacher, I saw her videos start popping up a few weeks ago and they are just so organic and clean - I fell in love with her work instantly and was very drawn to her color palettes and her teaching style. Which I must say, is very contemplative and thoughtful, just as yours is. That is how I learn. I truly hope you are very proud of this. The body turned out fantastic and REALLY made the colors pop on the wings. Then that resin... WOW. I'm sorry your had to sand it and coat it again, but the resin REALLY makes this such a gorgeous piece of art!!! #MadRespect XoXo ~ Jan
You never to hold me attention, and I always learn something. Sometimes in is something that I even know I needed to know Thank you for being such an amazing teacher. I love your art so much.
oh Heather....it is so wonderful. you guys giving each other tips is wonderful. I have used flotrol on a second coat so not to mix to colors to make mud or to make top coat translucent. was a great idea here....yea to you both. AB did great also. :)
New subscriber due to collaboration with AB. Love how you embraced the challenges and made them your opportunities for more of your creativity to shine. And, let us learn at the same time. Thanks Heather. 🧡🦃
Heather thank you for this. This is spectacular! Loved seeing the floetrol flood. I've done it once to add flowers to a dried canvas. Turned out really neat. Much love!
I liked how it turned out and all the added details made it very unique and beautiful, liked also to watch you resin, you gave very good information, thank you Heather and keep creating
Hi from Vancouver Canada, love your collab with ab creative . I would love to do a callab one day as my channel grows. So enjoyable to watch thank you for sharing 👍😁👩🎨❣️
Heather, so bright and cheerful! Love the way you used multiple techniques to create this piece. Resin really shows off the beauty. And thank you for introducing another artist. I just love the generosity of spirit!!! ❤️,Pam
I've seen her channel, her work is amazing. The string pulls get me everytime. The goldfish is my favorite. I would love to be able to make those......but I love your butterfly. That my dear friend was beautiful 🥰
Thank you so much for posting this video Heather! Your artwork is so beautiful and I am inspired to paint! Your colors are beautiful and I look forward to watching more of your videos! Definitely a new subscriber to your channel!!!
Hi Heather, I’d like to thank you for sending me the link to the collaboration with ABCreative. Your butterfly turned out really pretty & it’s always so nice to see the process that artists go through. The information about putting a piece of cardboard behind your canvas before you resin is a great little tip that I have never heard before. I have done some resin work and I have even done a little bit on canvas and I did always think how heavy it was and hoped that it did not bend my canvas. As I only did it in small spots I have been lucky. I have been wanting to resin a full piece of art but have never done it because I wasn’t comfortable with the weight and it seems I always have to resin things at least twice. Now I feel comfortable to give it a shot. I don’t know why I haven’t run across your channel before but I do like it very much. I like the calm and natural way you speak I also like that you pass on quite a bit of Information that’s really good to have. Some things may be a no-brainer for some people but it’s the little things for the rest of us that will help us have a piece come out the way we really want it to. Little mistakes can go over a long way in the wrong direction with a piece of art. I love that you used a pour as a background to create a more realistic piece of art . I don’t mind pouring at all & I do enjoy doing it but I feel like I always end up with…I guess what it’s meant to be, “abstract art”. Since the beginning of starting pouring I’ve always wanted more out of it so I’ve always ended up using most of my pours as a background for something more realistic. It’s just a personal preference for me. And some of the pours make such beautiful backgrounds. Certainly not something you could easily paint with a brush. Thank you again for all the information you put forth but most of all thank you for promoting other artist on your channel. It’s a very kind and wonderful thing to do. I’m very glad I found your channel and look forward to watching more videos from you.
Wow Heather! For someone who doesn't like doing the chain pulls, you did such an awesome job. What a great idea to use the colours from a painting you already had in the colours you are wanting and to have the foresight to use Floetrol to enable those original colours and design to come through. What an awesome result! Plus the resin really made it look super special. Love it! I shall go and check out AB Creative now. Best wishes, Alison from Western Australia x
Just at the 3:17 mark, & am wondering if you do isolation coats & if that would make a higher quality effect on the pre-painted surface than Floetrol. Thinning clear acrylic gel with a little water is my preferred method. If my studio weren’t still packed (grumble), I could experiment.
Cynthia, what type of Gel?? Like a gel medium?? I'm going to try that out! Yeah, I don't LOVE the floetrol, but wasn't sure how else to get the bottom painting to come through! :) thank you for the advice!! :) xoxo
Wait - are you saying the isolation coat in place of the floetrol?? Because the underpainting wasn't disturbed at all by the chain pulling. But I didn't love the floetrol necessarily.
Heather Mader Art Yes to using a wet isolation coat of slightly thinned acrylic gel medium instead of Floetrol. I bought Buick’s when it was on sale because Golden’s is unnecessarily expensive. I use a lot of Floetrol to experiment, but not for finer works.
Heather this is absolutely amazing!! I love how it turned out, you’re so kind and talented!! 💕🦋 Love from London 😘
Really happy to be able to share this with you!! :) xoxo
You both are in your own ways. 🥰🤗

Blicks, dang autocorrect
Heather,your paintings are larger than the ones they did. Larger chain pulls are more difficult.
is that why?? :)
I thought it was maybe because I'm no good at them, lol
I head that you are supposed to sand in one direction only.
Haha I can't draw either 😅
Gorgeous!
