602. Watch What Happens When You Tilt Like This! | Fluid Art

#fluidart #bloomblowout #deconstructedbloom Hi all! In today's fluid art video we are taking a bad blowout, change direction from trying a bloom vine technique and going with a deconstructed bloom. My student Ron was here watching the action, and you'll get to see exactly what and why I keep certain parts of the painting, and when to tilt or spin off the bits that are less pleasing. This painting was spectular and I hope you enjoy the video! Please stick out until the end to hear some important announcements; and as always, let me know your thoughts about the art in the comments sections!

Add small traces of water to thin if needed. Use the colors and brands of your choice! These tutorials are meant to educate and inspire! Here's how to mix: Pigments: For a 3 oz cup I add 1/2 teaspoon of pigment powder to the cup, then add enough gloss varnish (any brand; I use JoSonja gloss varnish) to cover the powder. Mix well until all pigment is thoroughly wet; then add the pouring medium; mix well. Recommend a Covid mask to mix. For any brand fluid or high flow acrylics: I put 2 1/2 ounces of the pouring medium into a 3 ounce cup, then squirt in color until I reach my desired shade. Mix well. For tube paint (medium or heavy body paint), I added an 1/2 ounce of paint (1/2 teaspoon) to a 3 ounce cup, then added 2 ounces of pouring medium. If still thick I add a squirt of Golden's High Flow Medium (thins and extends acrylic colors) OR water, and stir well. Cell Activator/Color: Australian Floetrol + any Amsterdam tube paint color. 2 -1 ratio Australian Floetrol to paint.
