I know it was quite a journey for me to find the right pillow paint and pouring recipe for me. I did a lot of research, watched A LOT of other artists videos and finally it happened. I am really happy with my current recipe thanks to Molly's Artistry. I do not follow Molly's recipe exactly, but I will say if cost were not a factor I would. Thank you Molly!
I hope this video is helps you to find your favorite pouring medium!

So informative, thank you for your idea's, perspective and honesty. I love your videos ♥♥
Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much for sharing your recipes. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend. Thank you again.
Thank you so much from Australia. I’ve been looking for a tutorial as good as yours and I’ve just found it thank you.
Thank you, I’m just starting fluid art
Oh Awesome! Fluid art was very therapeutic for me at a rough time in my life. I hope you love it!
Thank you so much! I have been looking for information on how to prepare the pillow base coat. This was very helpful
Thank you so much, for this tutorial awesome instruction
Thank you I will use this!
Thank you!! Your ideas are awesome!!
Great explanation. The best, simplist, explanation yet Thank you
Been wanting this info for so long. Thank you.
Thanks Val for this video very helpful. Can this pillow paint recipe be use for swipe technique?
PLEASE GET A SILICON SCRAPER / SPATULA !!
I could onlu find the small bottle of Floelrol and that cap you have, I have one also and it does fit it. TY so much for the info. and idea's. I don't use silcone.
Thank you for sharing. Question: Will this work with black paint as well?
There are some blacks that definitely make a difference or give you a different reaction than others. Arteza is one of my favorites but I believe the Golden brand will also give you better results however it is quite expensive. Keep in mind that your reaction will also be based on the other types of paint you are using and that is a toss-up because I've used some very cheap paints just to play around and gotten awesome results so unfortunately I can't give you the one and done answer. My advice is don't be afraid to play. You can swipe you canvas if you don't like it but when I've taken the time to do that and keep notes I've come up with some of the best combinations for me personally. Happy painting!
Thanks you, your explanation , I’m a beginner from Amsterdam.. ..what do you mean with pillow paint….. it’s the language barrier…sorry for asking!
greets from Amsterdam
Hello..☺️so I have a question.. when using base paints ( recipe) if I wanted to change the color, would I just add to your base paint?
Hi Jennifer! If I understand your question correctly you are asking about changing the color of the "pillow" base paint that I was testing in this video? I would say that you could add other colors to your White House paint or buy it in other colors etc. and you should get similar results because it is the type of paint that gives the result but I have not tested that so if I were you I would buy a smaller amount and have them color it for you and just play with it. Let me know how it works out for you!
Hi, what's the difference between your pillow paint mix and white premixed? Thank you, Bob
What is the link to the Recipe from Molly? I am very new just trying to find my way through this journey. Thank you for the information I have found it helpful.
I'm sorry I didn't see this. Here is the link requested. th-cam.com/video/GaraaQrtuyA/w-d-xo.html
Now I know why no one answers my question regarding pillow or pouring paint recipes
Hi there, sorry for asking…. What do they mean with pillow paint … greets from Amsterdam ..I’m a beginner
Hi Val, in which one do I add color for pouring and how much color do I put in??
I don't see a link for the strainer lid you mention. Can you provide that? Thanks!!
Here you go, sorry about that. It's just called "Filter Cap for Floetrol Jug on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Filter-Cap-for-Floetrol-Jug/dp/B07ZCB87F3/ref=asc_df_B07ZCB87F3/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693369490500&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4688440319462802728&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033591&hvtargid=pla-845679839217&psc=1&mcid=7d0d69e83b5d32acb98bd94d3aac72d4&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw0YGyBhByEiwAQmBEWsztKE2SvV_osIV67umxcwOYEbt-CpgGKgdazLUYodu8Kke-tEqxnxoC_mgQAvD_BwE
I m new I had been using flood floetrol and little water but I don’t get big cells may be a little small ones 😕
What is pillow paint?? 🌴
What is shelf life of your mixture
Hi! I can't give you a definate time of expiration but I can tell you I have used a base that I had mixed over a year prior and I've had no problems. I do run anything that's been sitting for a bit through a strainer though because it's a real bummer when you get that piece you really like but it's got globs in it but otherwise you should be fine.
How would you make a black pillow paint?
I'm sorry Susan but I have not made a black pillow paint. Personally, I would check with @JMoPainting. Have fun!
Hello. I’m sure you have figured out by now that Home Depot does not carry Valspar paint. Valspar is a Lowe’s brand of paint. You can also use H&D 100% acrylic deck paint from sherwin Williams as your pillow.
Yes, no Valspar near me. There is Sherwin Williams though, thank you!
Good for starters, i just guess cause im lazy and hate the dirty containers.
Thank you for sharing your recipes. Once you have it mix, how many parts of paint do you add for the pouring medium and the Silicone pouring medium? If it is obvious I am sorry. Very new at this and appreciate the leg up in learning.
Wait.. Thought you said "not so expensive ?". Thoughs are all expensive , except the floetrol.
Sorry but you're extremely hard to listen to It's not just you, haven't you noticed that the artists with the most subscribers DO NOT SPEAK !! They do demonstrations & when they have something to say, they type out the sentences on screen... Just check out the # of subscribers artists have, there,s no talkers like Jay Lee with MILLIONs and talkers like you with LESS than 1,000.... by the way I wanted to watch your demonstration but you drone on and on and on and you didn't say anything.... SMH
It's really hard listening to someone who says "uhm uhm uhm" every other word.😢
Silence is Golden instead of saying uhm every other word.
I don't mind the talking/spoken directions unless uhm is in there...
Thank you for the informative video, but PLEASE become aware of all the “ums” you are using as vocal filler. It is maddening!
