Thanks as always, Tam for your kind words of encouragement!!! 👍💙😊🙏❤️
Lisa.. thank you so much for this tutorial! As much as I am in LOVE with acrylic pour paintings... I have hesitated to give it a try.... Primarily because I live in a small condo where storage and activity space are limited...and let's face it... paint can be messy! BUT... you have just given me inspiration!! With minimal paint, pigment powders, a cell activator, and a few tools... I can do this... and possibly keep the mess off the carpet. Gosh... I'm so excited now. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! Sounds like you have a plain and I hope you will grow to love it as I do. For me, painting calms my mind and feeds my soul =) 🙏🥰❤️

Thank you, Leslie and thanks so much for being here with me!!! 👍💙😊🙏💜✌️
Well well well... I have finally learned my egregious error in bloom making! 😒I have been using the right house paint....right down to the Valspar brand. However, in my hours of ignorant mindlessness, I've had them tint the base White! 😑 Ugh! This realization is almost painful. If it is true that we learn from our mistakes, I will soon be a Rhodes Scholar! Thank you immensely for inserting, into my brain, the common sense knowledge of which I apparently missed out!😪 Gotta run. Lowe's closes in an hour! BRB!🤪
OMG! Yes, if they ask you what color you want, tell them you'll do it yourself and take that stuff home untinted! lol!
I had done the same thing. But you can have them tint if only using for base coat, right?
Stunning and get info. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful and thanks so much for being here!!!🤩🤩🤩
Thank u I will try this
Good Luck!!!

I dumped half the stuff I was subscribing to, this is the second one of yours I almost missed, I found it by accident. The one before I went looking as it seemed a long time between your videos. This was very interesting Lisa thanks heaps, seems like an economical way to mix. This is so pretty. 💕
Thanks as always, Pauline! TH-cam doesn't do a great job of notifying people when new videos are out. Try unsubscribing and re-subscribing. Make sure you hit the notification bell and select the "all" option so you are notified when all of my videos come out instead of what TH-cam decides you want to see! lol! 😜💙🙏😊👍
@@HarmonyHouseArt. Yeah I’ve got the bell on all but I’ve subscribed to so much, I like true crime so I’ve a heap of them, I love the narrowboats so got narrowboat shows, and of course Mr Ballen then there are my water and acrylic painting ones too, sometimes I get so many it’s easy to miss. I unsubscribed to a number of them, mainly the true crime as they’re easy to find anyway, there are some I really look forward to don’t want to miss and yours is one. Hopefully now I’m sorted. Have a lovely week and take care. 💕
Awesomeness! ❤️🌟🌟

I would like to start by saying your creations are always stunning. I watch your videos over and over again, they are all amazing. I have had zero luck in succeeding in doing blooms or much else for that matter.I decided ti try and use the exact ingredients that you use. I went to purchase the Valspar paint and was surprised there was 3 bases. Do you always use baser c or does it vary depending on the
colours you are using? Thank you so very much for sharing your knowlerge and for all the videos you have done.
Thank you for the kind words, Heather! Yes, I only use base C because I typically use darker colors (which C is designed for) so not sure how much difference you'd see with the A & B.
@@HarmonyHouseArt Thank you do much for getting back to me so quickly.I am getting so overwhelmed with all the different recipes out there. So many just font seem to work fir me. Can I use base c for lighter colors as well?. I truly love your work, you sre an inspiration. Fingers crossed I will be able to achieve something that resembles a bloom this time😀. Have a wonderful day.
I just discovered your channel and absolutely love your pours!! Thanks for providing this tutorial for mixing and this beautiful bloom! I want to try this so much but will wait until after the holidays☺
Thank you for the kind words, Linda and please let me know if you have any questions!!!💙🙏💙
Love your work, I m new at this craft and trying so hard to achieve some of the ways these pours are done. I've tried many recipes for the mixing the paints, can't seem to get all the cells even though I use the exact recipes. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but I love your work.
Thanks so much, Kay! In this bloom technique, the cells arise because the paints we use as the "cell activators" are very thin and stretchy. You can blow or swipe them over the other colors and the other colors pop up through the parts that stretched out. These are very different from cells that arise in regular pours- those are usually from the friction of the paints and the oils used in them (and the oil in Floetrol encourages cell development.) Hope that helps!
Hello Lisa !! I look your mix for the first time. I have a question for you. The valspar is very liquid and blank? Is dry transparent? is like the satin enamel Behr 8300? But this binder is soooooo thick comparated to Valspare...😂😂
It's just for verify my PM. And think than I have find why you have the paint more liquid for the bloom dutch. 🥰❤
Your results are soooo amazing when you do the bloom dutch.
Is it important to verify the transparency of the paint for do bloom flower?
Thank you so much to help me sweet Lisa. ❤❤❤
Thank you as always for your kind words, Caroline! No, the Valspar is very thick like the Behr brands and has no added pigment but does have a natural, light yellowish color from the ingredients in it. If your bloom mix seems too thick, try adding Floetrol or JoSonja varnish to thin it out a bit. Even though Floetrol is not thin, it helps the paints move around and go farther because of the oils in it. The brand of base paint you use doesn't matter but the climate you live in does affect how the paints work together.
@@HarmonyHouseArt Thank you sooooo much for the answer. Your so sweet to answer me. ❤❤❤
Lovely colors ! If you are using 1:1 Untinted paint to Gloss , can we skip the combo & just use semi-gloss untinted paint ?
So, it's not untinted gloss paint, it's the BASE for making paints that you need. Of course you you skip it and see what happens though.
Love the simplicity, we do use this phone touch poor as well? Or would it need to be thinner?
Thank you! Not sure what a phone touch pour is...sorry.
Hi Lisa. It’s pretty but I kinda liked it before you spun it 😀
Got a question: the pillow you used, did you actually use black house paint or did you use something else for that color?
One more thing: I find it’s much easier to disperse the pigments first in about a tablespoon of either your mix or JoSonja. Then when you add your mix it’s very fast to combine because your pigments are basically paint at that point.
You can get all the granules mixed in super well with mixing the small amount first.
At least that works for me.
Super, Roberta! I'll have to try that! Yes, I just used house paint pillow this time but don't recommend it. 😊🙏❤️
Beautiful flower and colors! Do you find the pigments intensity lessens when you use your pm?
Just a tad but since there is no pigment in the pm and their light colors dry clear, the blooms dry closer to their original color .
I have another question if you don't mind. I just noticed you used black satin enamel paint for the base. What is your recipe for that? Same as the colours you mixed?
No, the black satin enamel base is much thinner. I mix 1 part DecoArt black satin enamel with 1 part Artist Loft Soft Body black. To that mix, I add 2-4 parts Floetrol, then a few drops of water if needed.
This is beautiful!! Absolutely beautiful!! As a beginner, I have a little problem; my mix looks right but when I get the blow drier, it doesn't move!! Obviously I'm doing something terribly wrong!! HELP!!
As always, thank you for an amazing tutorial!! ❤🙏❤🙏
Thank you for your kind words, Deborah! If your mix is too thick to move when you blow it, maybe add a little floetrol to help loosen it up? ❤️🙏😊
@@HarmonyHouseArt Thank you for taking the time to respond! 🙏🙏 I really appreciate it!!❤❤
So helpful. Think you can show us how you mix this recipe with tube or jar paints?
Thank you, Jane! Tube paints are the same 2-ingredient mix then you will add Floetrol to thin as needed. Usually about 1 part paint, 2 parts mix and 1 part floetrol for brands like Amsterdam and Liquitex basics. 💞🤗
Absolutely Stunning! Thank you for sharing this work. If you would be so kind, how would you mix paints with this pm?
Thank you. I got it from other comments.😘 You create Amazing art!💓
Thank you, Celia and thanks so much for your kind words!!! 💕😊
Lisa, do you think this would work with the polyacrylic as well? It's what I have on hand at this time and won't waste it trying if you already know it just won't work! thankyou xo
Beautiful work! Can you make the bloom recipe up and store it until ready to use?
Thank you, Yvette! Yes, that's what I do...I mix up about 3 cups at a time and seal the container with press and seal wrap =)
@@HarmonyHouseArt thank you!
Hi Lisa, beautiful! Just watched this video. When you say base or pillow is cheap house paint but you would not recommend it, what would you recommend? Thanks!
Thank you! I mix the base with acrylic paints exactly as I mix the colors.
Hiya Lisa, I would like to ask if the poly you use in your recipe has a strong chemical smell?
Hi Kristyn! Not super strong like the JoSonja- I use it inside and am not bothered by it at all =)
Hello thanks for your video..I only have the untinted base and the Jo Sonja Varnish..is it still half and half?
Thank you, Stephanie! Yes, I have used the half and half and it worked fine but was much thinner (which is okay because it's easier to work with! lol!)
@@HarmonyHouseArt thanks!
I’m sure you included this information but I have read and read and can’t find what you use for your base. I think you said satin enamel in another video. Is that correct. Love your work
The base for my bloom paintings is mixed exactly as the colors in this video (I don't use house paint like most do). The satin enamel base is completely different and not included in this video.
I know this is probably a stupid question but are these bloom ingredients safe to use in the house? I actually have a painting room downstairs near the furnace so have to be very careful with fumes. As much as I love the bloom technique I'm afraid to. Any suggestions?
Hi Diane, I think it's a reasonable question and I'm not aware of any danger associated with the ingredients I use. When it comes to varnishing your pieces, I would suggest you take them outside because of the strong fumes.
Such a beautiful bloom
How do you know if the pigments are opaque or not?
Thank you, Julia!!! Most acrylic paints show on their container if they are opaque, semi transparent, or transparent. I should do a video on that! ❤️👍💖
@@HarmonyHouseArt yes I know the paints do but the pigments? That’s what I can’t figure out
@@creativeroadsartbyjulialee9973 Oh, okay- some pigment companies include the opacity on their labels (like This Little Piggy) and the rest is trial and error. Generally, the more pigment used in the mix, the more opaque they become.
@@HarmonyHouseArt ty so much sweetie
Hi I was on my way to Lowes and wondered what do you recommend as your pillow paint ?.
I use the base c mixed half and half with triple gloss polyurethane and make the base using that recipe with any color. Have fun at Lowes! 😍👍❤️
I wanted to ask if there was a pillow that u do recommend? I can’t seem to find a thick enough one . I live in Tn and it is warmer here and the paints seem to be so thin. Thanks
I make the pillow paint or base the same as the colors but know that lots of people buy some kind of house paint to use for the base.
So u use the same tin table base and varnish that u use for the colors for the pillow. Do u add white in that or no . Do the colors seem to bleed into that pillow? Thank you so much for this info. I never thought of doing that and that would solve a lot of issues I’m having with consistency .
@@BrandiWineRn I use half base c and half either Josonja varnish or triple gloss- that is my pouring medium for ALL of the paints (including the base) except for the cell activator. The base c has no added pigment so it doesn't affect the vibrancy of your colors. Some peeps find the triple gloss + base c makes too thick of a pm and use the Josonja instead of the triple gloss.
Hello from The Netherlands.I made many paintings but never tried this technique because i don,t know what to buy. I,m afraid to ask stupid questions but...interior paint like you use Valspar with a primer in it isn,t available here i guess, Is it wallpaint , a latex? Hope you can give me some clarity on this, thank you in advance, maybe the other products are available on Amazon, love your work👍
What I use to make the pouring medium is the tintable base paint that stores use to mix custom color paints with. They start with a tintable base which has no pigment added and that is what I use. I just tell the stores I'm making my own custom colors. I mix half of the tintable base with half of either Josonja varnish or triple gloss varnish. It will be a very thick mix but you can thin it with more of the Josonja. If you don't have a store nearby that can custom mix paint, you may be able to find a tintable base on Amazon and I know you can find the varnishes there. Best wishes! PS- I think they are probably latex bases.
What are you doing to get the black base? Are you buying black paint or coloring the white base #3 with tube paint?
I used cheap black house paint this time but do not recommend. Normally, I use the Oxide black with the 2 ingredient base then add some floetrol to thin it a bit for the pillow.
@@HarmonyHouseArt Thank you!
Where do you get the venetian blue color for your pillow
Muito obrigado por fazer esse tutorial adorei as cores
Você depois que colocou nos potinhos, acrescenta mais branco? Ou essa é a medida certa para uma única pintura?
Muito obrigado por estar aqui! O "branco" a que você se refere é o meu mix de flores de 2 ingredientes. Esses itens não possuem pigmentos como tintas - as cores claras são resultado de seus ingredientes. Eu coloco uma colher ou 2 de pigmento no copo, em seguida, adiciono o meio de derramamento de cor clara para fazer as tintas de flor.
@@HarmonyHouseArt muito obrigado pela aula q Deus sempre te ilumine e essa luz também fique visível em suas obras
@Alexandre M Thank you for the blessings! 💙💙💙

Wow that turned out gorgeous all those beautiful biggies so vibrant and shimmery, I love it.
Thank you for the kind words, Lisa!!!❤️👍❤
I used your recipe and the painting were beautiful, until they dried. They crazed. What do you use for the pillow pour? There's so much paint and it's way to thick. Help!
I mix my pillow paint exactly as I mix the colors, using the 2-ingredient pm plus acrylic paint. If it's too thick, try using the Josonja varnish in the pm instead of the triple gloss.
When I mix my paint and varnish 1:1 it is thick like pudding what can I do to thin it out it will not blow out this thick. I live in AZ could that be why?
Pudding is exactly how it should be but if you don't have a hair dryer to blow it with, try adding US Floetrol until it moves more easily. The other option is to use the much thinner JoSonja varnish instead of the triple gloss...this will result in a much thinner mix.
@@HarmonyHouseArt thank you and this pudding is pudding that mounds up upon itself and slips off the stir stick in a dollop. Perhaps I’ll try the other varnish and see how that works. Thank you so much for your inspiration and advise. It’s much appreciated.
Question. Is the untinted paint « semi-gloss » and the Varathane also « semi-gloss « . Thank you so much.💐
Hi Diane, the un-tinted base is semi gloss and the polyurethane is triple gloss. But, I don't think a glossy base or less glossy varnish would make too much of a difference. It's more art than science and I think there's room for experimenting!
@@HarmonyHouseArt Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me. Very generous of you. Now I will try you pouring technique. Namaste 💐
When you buy the tintable paint, you don't get them to shake it either correct? You just take it home and mix it yourself I've heard.
Correct, Joey! The tintable base is 1/2 of the pouring medium I use for blooms and the store people may think you're crazy buying it without having them add the color so I just tell them I'm doing it myself =)
Do you use house paint for your base and pillow also? I used my Bher paint straight out of the can like they say and it did not work at all.
No, I mix the base the same as the bloom colors. Don't like the way the house paint acts! lol!
@@HarmonyHouseArt Isn't the Valspar Base C considered house paint even though it is untinted. It is confusing me. Your PM uses Valspar + Varuthane + tube paint or pigments. So, what is the Pillow? Is it the same exactly as your mix for PM? Because I am understanding that the two ingredient mix is for you Pillow as well as for your Pouring Medium. Correct? And I thought that the Pillow should be a little thicker than the PM and the CA is even a little thinner than the PM. Is that correct please?
@@ItsVick I use the 2-ingredient mix for the colors and the base (pillow) and I leave them roughly the same thickness...that's how I do it. Everyone seems to have to find their own way with the blooms. Even if you have the same exact ingredients, your pour may react differently due to the climate you live in, specific paints used, etc. I just happen to NOT love house paint though I know that's what many use for the pillow (straight from the can!) You will have to experiment to see what works for you.
👍👍👍
❤️🙏❤️
@Harmony House Art .... I just read your response to another artist and.... PHEW!!!! I've been trying to understand how to mix the pillow forever! I take it mixing house paint....like 'Oops' for example, mixed with the 2 part pouring medium wouldn't work? Even to add floetrol to it maybe? I'm wondering if you had done that on this piece, hence, not recommending it. Also, I only have polyacrylic not triple based varathane. when I moved down south my big container of supplies never made it into the car....like the saw, drills, boat supplies (groan) and I have like a $1,000 worth still waiting for me to grab this summer. can't afford triple varathane (that I have up north, of course....w/my aussie Floe, JoSonja...ugh) at this time and I'm hoping I can use the poly in my PM. I've had to replace a lot and every time I see a different recipe....I don't have the ingredients lolll. Wondering what your opinion is on that. :-)
Hey Carol, I think it's best to try whatever you have on hand first. There are so many different recipes and all of them seem to work well, so you can be encouraged that your recipe doesn't have to be exactly like someone else's to work.
Is mica powder a pigment paint?
Mica powder is just that- colored flakes pigment that have no binder. You can add the powder to resin straight from the jar but for paints, you must mix them in some kind of binder.
I tried this recipe to do the red sunflower 726, but my paints are too thick, what is your paint to pm ratio?
This recipe is for the bloom technique only. For swipes, like video 726, the paints must be much thinner. Even though I ended up blowing the colors out, I was using a thinner mix. Here is that formula: th-cam.com/video/3LnCMc8xhDk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TPol1ZGbkX8yP1Q5
Thank you so much, can’t wait to try this again
Olá, a tinta e o verniz é a base de água? Obrigada!!
Obrigado, Irene! Sim, tanto a tinta quanto o verniz são à base de água!
Is your base the same consistency?
I try to keep my base the same consistency as the colors except when I use the satin enamel base which is much thinner =)
Can I use Vivid Enamel and triple thick.?Equal parts?
You can certainly try that, Rosanna. I haven't tried that mix and your mix may end up a bit thinner but that won't hurt anything. Please let me know how that turns out!
@@HarmonyHouseArt Thank you I intend to try it because I mixed some up today. I think if I can get a can of Behr 8300 deep bsse it might thicken it up.Just a dash.What do you think? Thank you so much for replying!
@@rosannahutson9757 Yes, the deep base will definitely thicken it up! I just haven't tried the Vivid Enamel in the mix! Good luck with your creations!!! ❤️🙏❤️
Gorgeous Lisa! One question- what is your base layer recipe (ie the paints you use to flood a larger canvas). Is it the same Valspar/Varathane plus paint mixture ratio or different?
Thanks so much, Judy! Yes, just answered your email! lol! 😅
Are you no longer using the Ovation paint but are now using this Vslspar paint in its place?
You may have confused me with another artist- I've never used Ovation..don't even know what that is. 😄
@@HarmonyHouseArt ok thx for straightening me out. I’m going to give this a try.
How is the minwax versus the triple thick???
Hi Brandi, don't remember trying any minwax so not sure how they compare.
Is your base paint the same mixture used for the Bloom?
Yes, Debbie! I mix my base the same exact way but usually have to add some Floetrol to the base.
@@HarmonyHouseArt , what ratio do you use?
@@debbiefiremanmarr7225 Of Floetrol? That depends on the paint- tube paint is heavier and will need more Floetrol than pigments or liquid paints like Golden or DaVinci.
