Hello evryone. I used to do faux finishing. What I learned from him saved me a lot of grief. I'm going to share my Grandfather's tip when it comes to stirring and turning the paint. He was a painter and never ever used a drop cloth or roller. 1. When you buy house paint store the can upside down before and after opening. When the oils or other additives separate its at the bottom of the can. Slowly turn the can upright. ( it prevents bubbles ) . 2. Instead of stirring roll the can back and forth slowly and evenly as far as your arm reach about ten times. This is easier than folding not stirring the paint. Folding without breaking the surface of the paint thereby creating bubbles takes practice. Hope this helps and happy painting !!
Thanku so much Garrick, yes as a newby it does my head in and makes me feel really stupid coz I fail to grasp it, probably coz I've watched 100s of demo's. Now im just brain dead lol.. I knew I'd get it as soon as u started singing KC and The Sunshine Band lol..😊😂 Im 64 and that was my music growing up..thanks again Garrick ❤❤❤
So glad this was helpful friend. I am preparing a why your blooms are failing video and I think it will help. What parts are you struggling with the most?
Friend!! I love your videos! Your knowledge (and humor) make the techniques so much more understandable.You are a true artist. Thank you so much for sharing your work.
Great video. Get yourself a mini bellows (used to blow dust off of camera lenses) or even a suction bulb (used for sucking the snot out of babies) to blow puffs of air. Hth!
Quel travail tu as fait pour ce vidéo!!! Vraiment intéressant de voir que nous pouvons faire notre propre oreillée!! 👍 les couleurs du dégradé dans le swipe ajouté au bleu est juste WOW. 💙💛 J'ai pu constater qu'à tout tes talents d'artiste, ta voix radiophonique, ton carisme, ton humour, les vidéos amusants, tu es aussi un chanteur doué 😃. J'adore cette vidéo cher Garrick. Plein, plein d'amour pour toi!! 💞💌💞
Every house paint works differently. The reason most of us use it, is that it is economical. I use the PPG multi pro or Sherwin Williams because it’s economical and it doesn’t leave the measles on my paintings. I also love the Glidden semi gloss. I find that you only need a little of it to get your acrylics to move across the top properly. I worked at Home Depot in the paint department for years. I learned a lot about paint. I don’t add anything to it except a bit of water. Amsterdam paint is amazing paint and I use it for my blooms swipes etc but never for pillow….its too expensive. I use a mixture of different paints for my top paints. Usually making my own pouring medium. I spent 2 years coming up with bloom recipes after taking Shelee’s first course (literally texting her while I was at HD trying to find US equivalent paints to what she was using. I am an OG at these recipes. I have been doing this for over 10 yrs.) People also have to take into consideration the weather…what works for me in New England may not work for someone in Florida (higher humidity) or Arizona/Nevada ( dry, hot) I also use a large dehumidifier in my basement, where my paint studio is. Also if you find your pillow is too thin, let the paint sit out open for a day and it will thicken. Your video was very informative and fun. I am all about the bottom line and using less products to make amazing art. Your mixture is great for smaller paintings Loved watching you and will continue to do so. PS: paint peeling is very oddly satisfying😊
😂😂😂 the weather.. SMH 🙄.. don't get me started on that. I live in Minnesota, it can snow at a nice 48° one day, the next day, it's -15° and sleeting, next day, sunny and feels like spring, 100°s in Aug....🌡️. I keep all my paint in a spare room upstairs, that I try to keep at the same temperature all yr round. Even my spray paints have a spot in my basement that they share with my fossils, stones and crystals. 😂. It's the simple things in life that keep us happy.
@@aqua1082 my husband thought I was insane when I told him we had to go buy a larger dehumidifier because my paintings were cracking from drying too fast 😂 weather is a huge factor I try not to paint during high humidity. I have lost so many paintings I loved because of the damn weather. We get the same kind of weather here. It can be beautiful in April one day and 3 feet of snow the next. It’s a nightmare. 😉
@Itseemedlikeagoodida Hi! The humidity causes the top of the paint to dry too fast. When the top dries before the rest of the painting it causes cracking. You should never have a fan near your paintings for the same reason. You want all the paint to dry evenly at the same time. If the humidity is over 40-50% I won’t paint. I also won’t paint if it’s just brutally hot. I tend to paint from Fall to late Spring in New England when it is cool. I do furniture refinishing during the Summer and fall here
@@retreivermomx2847 thank you very informative, especially pointing out environmental issues that most may not take into consuderation. Paint peeling! Kinda like peeling elmers from your hand, slowly and in one piece! I didnt make the connection until now lol. 😊
Hi Garrick! I was delighted to see the title of this video! I had fallen in love with Rinska Douna's Dutch Pour several years ago. I loved the community that grew from that or at the same time as that. People began sharing their paintings and of course the mixture of paints used. The collective of beginners through experienced artists sharing freely is what kept me watching. What stopped me was when one artist began charging $99 basically for a recipe for "pillow paint" (& the new exclusive term for mixes to get cells... "cell activators.") Yes, she apparently taught ways to use this, but the $99 was for the "pillow paint" recipe. What a turn off! And I did turn off! Your video came up on autoplay & I'm writing this because of the title! I'm so glad the cat is out of the bag, & the free sharing in the collective continues! If you find this offensive, I won't be if you delete this. I am not knocking art courses in acrylics or any other medium. I find that very different.😂
Awwww well I'm glad you are watching again. I share alot as well some paid content now simply to offset the cost of painting and experimenting but I definitely get it. Happy pouring and big hugs. ❤
Thank you sooooo much! I just found your videos and you explained all the different bases, pillows, etc. I started out with paint pouring. I then went to colored pencils and using acrylics for flowers etc. But, to hear you giving me a refresher course, makes me want to Paint pour again!!! Thank you!!!
I once was painting the ceiling in an upstairs room during the hot summer. I went to take a hair out of the paint or pop a bubble (both were happening), next thing I knew I had to peel the whole ceiling off. So I painted a section to activate the old then peeled off in sheets. It wasn't so satisfying and I was crying. Next time I will allow myself to fully enjoy it. At the time it was time and money wasted. Both of which I did not have at the time. After the fact, once I had calmed down, I thought, "how cool were those sheets of latex?!
This is the first video I've watched that explained in detail whyyyyy the paint does what it does and a sub for stuff most of us have at home. Thanks! Subscribed.
Thank you ,thank you, thank you ! Sharing this information is a game changer for me as a budding fluid artist , I’ve wanted to try this technique for a while, but was a little intimidated. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Truly, one of the most helpful fluid art videos that I've seen in a long while ( the other ones were done by you, too! 😉) Happy Valentine's Day, Garrett
Oh my God. I really really really appreciate you making this video I’ve been doing fluid art now for about a year and a half and I never understood what pillow paint was or meant. I just know that it looked very thick and it was always used solely for the bloom technique. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Now that you so graciously educated us or (me). I’m so grateful. Thank you. As far as the comparison is concerned I like the flow trawl and glue mixture results better in the store bought house paint. I can hardly wait to experiment now that I know what to do.
So glad you did a video on this G!!! I feel like tinting the untinted house paint with acrylic paint always saves money and when I’ve done it the consistency is better especially for swipes!!!
Vielen lieben Dank🙏 für deine super Demonstration, Garrick! Es war für mich echt sehr hilfreich 👍! Besonders mit den Konsistenzen! Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪, Tanja 😊
Hi. Ive just come across your channel and videos, yesterday. Youre amazing!, Thorough, and have me laughing aloud. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and love,. and for nuturing inspiration❤
I have been following you back in the day because you give lessons like really good one’s and you still do to this day… I can listen to you and watch you all day long where there are other people that are trying to teach that you just want to fast forward lol
I really appreciate that. Sometimes I feel.like I'm talking too much but love hearing people say the way you explained it made sense. Happy Pouring my friend. See you in another one very soon.
I am just getting back into fluid art. I drifted into resin for a while, but fluid art is my true love. I just found you and watched this video and I really enjoyed it! I’m a new fan :)
So helpful again, great content. Thanks for sharing the context and providing different examples. As a beginner and someone learning from experimentation and reading in forums and from others, this kind of content is so appreciated
Thank you for this video!!! I get confused on which house paint to purchase and I see so many on Facebook handing out the wrong information as to base vs pillow, so I will definitely be sharing this video out to them! ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! It's so much information, and I struggled with what to present and how much detail, so there is definitely more to this and I will more info to the description. Thanks so much Julie.
Thank you! This is exactly the information I needed. You gave complete and easy to understand instructions. I have been trying to do blowouts without house paint and had resigned myself to getting some but will now try your recipe. Added bonus your videos are fun to watch😊
hey there..... Thank you so much for this video. I gotta be honest and say that I think no I know that "your" pillow paint concoction came out WAYYY better than the store bought paint!! The colors, the way it disperses, the flow, the cel turnover. And the colors you chose made such a beautiful eye catching few pieces of art. I'm going to have to use those colors myself. I can tell you love doing this, it shows in your creations.
Great info Garrick!!! I hate working with house paint. It's SO sticky and hard to clean up. I love doing blooms though, so I'm going to give this recipe a try ❤
I personally find housepaint easier available then all the glues and thinners available in the US. So therefore the video was more of a reaffirmation to still continue with housepaint for the blowout. But I also experienced that it does not work well for the swipe with Amsterdam color. Same results exactly in my beginner lab.
Another excellent and entertaining video! I'm saving this video (along with your other videos) and I take them out and watch them as needed. Garrick, "THE prescription man for pour painting" maybe I can come up with a better nickname 🤔 when I'm feeling better😋. But it does kinda work😁✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
I usually watch your videos a few times and pick up things I hadn't noticed before.. this time I learned about adding "better quality" paint to the mixture. I've tried this when I felt the pigment wasn't what I wanted but didn't want to scrap my paint mixture.
Garrick, is the Flotrol and the Elmers what you are you using to create those beautiful cells? Great video, thank you for going through all of this to teach us. ❤
Hi, new watcher. Floetrol is a very good product but tends to get gloops. If you take a piece of panty hose, a rubberband, and a damp paint rag, you can put a piece of hose over the spout of floetrol, use rubber band to hold in place, pour and strain, wipe with damp rag, and put the cap back on, ready to go next time. Of course, it applies with any like water based product.
Wow this is very interesting! Tks for sharing this. I just loooove watching your videos, you make them so entertaining and we learn a lot. One question though for this one...: you say you could have added way much water to your recipe but your home made pillow paint was perfectly ok compare to the branded house paint. So why do you say that? If you would added more water, your paint would have been way to thin, am I wrong?
So glad you enjoyed this! Depending on the paint and for other techniques I could have gone a little thinner but not necessary. I wanted people to understand you can make a versatile really easy.
You crack me up! Question: what makes you say they weren’t good blows? How are you evaluating that? Thanks! Really enjoying your videos and silly humor! 😁
Now that we understand pillow paint... Check out an explosion of ideas all on one canvas: th-cam.com/video/lF5pj7ytw5U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jsR8hGgbt7s85pnU
Hello evryone. I used to do faux finishing. What I learned from him saved me a lot of grief. I'm going to share my Grandfather's tip when it comes to stirring and turning the paint. He was a painter and never ever used a drop cloth or roller. 1. When you buy house paint store the can upside down before and after opening. When the oils or other additives separate its at the bottom of the can. Slowly turn the can upright. ( it prevents bubbles ) . 2. Instead of stirring roll the can back and forth slowly and evenly as far as your arm reach about ten times. This is easier than folding not stirring the paint. Folding without breaking the surface of the paint thereby creating bubbles takes practice. Hope this helps and happy painting !!
LOVE THIS!!!! This fills in the gaps of what I used to do because now I'll be doing this! ❤️
Merci pour vos astuces 😊
😂😊
That’s what I do with my cans of paint
Thank you
I appreciate your pleasant speaking voice and clear explanations. It makes you easy to listen to and learn from.
Thank you so much! So glad you found the video helpful.
Thanku so much Garrick, yes as a newby it does my head in and makes me feel really stupid coz I fail to grasp it, probably coz I've watched 100s of demo's. Now im just brain dead lol..
I knew I'd get it as soon as u started singing KC and The Sunshine Band lol..😊😂
Im 64 and that was my music growing up..thanks again Garrick ❤❤❤
Oh yes it makes us brain dead ! Same for me.
This was SO INFORMATIVE! Thank you.❤ This presentation took a LOT of thought and work. I really appreciate you, Garrick. Blooms are my nemesis 😢
So glad this was helpful friend. I am preparing a why your blooms are failing video and I think it will help. What parts are you struggling with the most?
@@GarrickBrownArtStudio the blowout. Epic failure. I have all but given up on blooms... I don't want to... I love them.

I usually watch your videos a few times and pick up things I hadn't noticed before.. this time I learned about adding "better quality" paint to the mixture. I've tried this when I felt the pigment wasn't what I wanted but didn't want to scrap my paint mixture.
Good stuff! Especially white paints for some reason. A good quality white paint goes a long way.
In ever heard of pillow paint before .❤
I’m new to this pouring art!! PLEASE PLEASE can you tell me if the house paint smells??? Great information and process.👏🏼👏🏼🥰💕❤️❤️🐶🇬🇧🇬🇧
No it does not smell at all.
Certainly NOT like an oil or enamel. Most acrylic paints have a very subtle aroma.
Awesome video!! So helpful!! Thank you! ❤
You're so welcome!
LOVE THIS1 I'm going to try it tonight. I'm curious if you can also make the pillow paint without the glue?
You can!! Let me know how it goes!!
Beautiful❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Thankyou!!!!
You are most welcome!
Thanks so much for doing this video. You’re helping a lot of us. You are so appreciated!
Happy to help!
You just saved me a lot of stress about stupid sherwin Williams pillow paint. I did buy Glidden premium base 3 - can I use that for my pillow?
Garrick, is the Flotrol and the Elmers what you are you using to create those beautiful cells? Great video, thank you for going through all of this to teach us. ❤
Thank you Garrick for sharing this. I don’t think I’ll be using house paint 😊🫶🏻
So glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great video
Hi, new watcher. Floetrol is a very good product but tends to get gloops. If you take a piece of panty hose, a rubberband, and a damp paint rag, you can put a piece of hose over the spout of floetrol, use rubber band to hold in place, pour and strain, wipe with damp rag, and put the cap back on, ready to go next time. Of course, it applies with any like water based product.
Thanks for tuning in love.
Wow this is very interesting! Tks for sharing this. I just loooove watching your videos, you make them so entertaining and we learn a lot. One question though for this one...: you say you could have added way much water to your recipe but your home made pillow paint was perfectly ok compare to the branded house paint. So why do you say that? If you would added more water, your paint would have been way to thin, am I wrong?
So glad you enjoyed this! Depending on the paint and for other techniques I could have gone a little thinner but not necessary. I wanted people to understand you can make a versatile really easy.
Thank you for this informative video!
I like the homemade one best on both
You've got options!!! ❤
You crack me up! Question: what makes you say they weren’t good blows? How are you evaluating that? Thanks! Really enjoying your videos and silly humor! 😁
I typically go for wide blowouts and not super small ones... I just think my compositions come out better that way. It's all preference. 😊
Thank you for simplifying! Just one trip to Home Depot!
Yes!!! Let me know how everything goes for you.
