Hi Jessica, I tried your new PM receipt, it worked out ok with metallic and most tube paints, getting descent cells. Only problem I have is mica powder, cell melts. I use Varathane Polyurethane, high gloss to wet mica power, mixed with valspar deepbace and Behr 8300 to right consistancy ( local home depot only have 1 gallon dynasty, I still have more than half gallow Behr 8300) I know I did not use GAC 100. What does polyurethane do, can it replace GAC 100 to mix paints for cells? When paints get thick, what is the best way to thin it? thanks.

What an amazing video! Thank you for the kind words and you are so spot on with your comments. I do love my hairdryer, and I tell students the best investment (after the SheleeArt class), is to spend the $18. For a can of PPG MultiPro and practice practice practice! I have hide and reveals on my list to try-hope I do your technique justice!!! ❤❤❤😘😘

Jessica, you are a genius!

THANK YOU 💖 I try to watch all of your videos, and the intro today is important. I don't do the Bloom technique. I can't afford the classes And the supplies that are not easily available. There are so many ways to create fluid art. Respect for the pioneers. Don't claim knowledge you don't have. Don't teach when you are still a beginner. Simple Respect. It's earned, not demanded.

Quelle est cette peinture blanche que vous appliquez en premier. C'est une acrylique mais laquelle ?. Merci pour le renseignement. Mike de France.

This turned out amazing! Beauty everywhere!

Man! I've been waiting for someone ( a veteran someone) to say exactly what you said. So many people posting videos of their fluid art now, which, fair enough they want to share their work, maybe find a revenue stream from their art that's all fine and dandy. But, "teaching" techniques within those videos without the accurate knowledge themselves is such a disservice to the art form.

Je suis vos vidéos avec plaisir.est-il possible de sous titrer en français.je suis abonnée et merci pour le partage.bonne journée.

Love 😊

I love the intense colors!

I agree! I did fluid art for about four years before venturing into the bloom, now at over 7 years. Start with easier techniques, then take shelees course

this is stunning. it looks like a banquet table to me. your pep talk made a bunch of sense for me.

You have such wonderful advice for people!! You are also so right about starting with one technique and sticking with it. I'm on a fixed income so I can't ever afford the classes or events but I've learned the bloom and now I've been leaning your technique and your pouring medium which is so much better than others. Thank you so much for your videos, they are always wonderful to watch!!❤

I love it!

I so love this

Hi Jessica, I have told you before that I watch a lot of fluid artists and you, by far, are my favorite. I finally broke down and purchased the Australian Flood Floetrol, and WOW, what a difference in cells. So, thank you! I also ordered your baby spinner, which should arrive next week. I am very excited. Thank you in advance. I have a request: would you make a video on how you frame and sign your art? You also don't seem to worry about getting paint from your fingers on the back of the canvas; another reason I am curious about how you frame. Thank you for sharing your knowledge; a lot of artists don't do that, and I greatly appreciate your help. Deb

Wie schade, dass ich so weit weg bin von dir. Deine Bilder sind der absolute Hammer. ❤️ Ich liebe sie. Nicht ein einziges würde farblich in mein Zuhause passen, dennoch würde ich jedes aufhängen. 😍😍😍 Verkaufst, und versendest du deine Kunst vielleicht, weltweit?

1st of all I totally agree with your comments Shelee‘s technique is definitely high sophisticated and yours as well. From my point of view the main point is to have the right together working ingredients and to figure out alternatives in case some of them aren’t available. I have meanwhile tested several ingredients alternatives and figured out the ones which working best for me. Your actual deconstructed hide&reveal bloom is due to the very well chosen color combination amazing as always. It’s always fun and inspiring to follow you along your fine arts journey Jessica👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️😘

I learned about pour painting from the Shelee art course. i have been a fine artist for more than 40 years. I had never heard of the fluid art world until 3 years ago. I was intrigued and thought it was something I incorporate with my fine art. I am so glad I took Shelee´s course. I struggled less with learning this world of fluid art. I agree Jessica with you when you are learning something new learn from the masters. And practice practice practice! There are fluid art techniques that can be learned pretty quickly this is not one of them. You are a gift to the art world. 💖💖💖

I'd love to see you do this and slightly lift the cup while moving the colors and the CA around like skimming across the pillow like a swipe, if that makes sense? 😂 I forget what they call that, like wandering maybe? Jeeze I forget! But it might spread the CA out more without picking up the pillow? But then why not just swipe I guess! 😂 Might be a fun experiment though! 😁

Great video! Great info! Agree with it all . Love you tons girl! Love this piece too ! Can’t wait to see you soon !!! 💕💕🐣

Spot on Jessica, I also think it’s the same with any craft whether it be painting, sewing, baking etc. Some people don’t have any imagination/skill of their own so they copy other people and then don’t give credit where credit is due. It’s a pet peeve of mine! This painting is stunning 🤩

Thank you Jessica for your wisdom. I enjoyed your video of your deconstructed hide and reveal. I am still practicing your hide and reveal. I am glad you mention private classes with you. I am very interested in doing it with you. This year Dallas won’t work. Neither will Spokane. But I am hoping they will do it again in Spokane. I would love to hear more about 1:1. Hope to hear from you. ❤️❤️

I’m not perfect at it but obsessed enough to keep pushing and experimenting!!!!!! YES!!!

A great, informative talk all newbies need to hear. Learning the correct method and materials is so critical to have a successful, fun art journey

It’s gorgeous thank you so much for sharing have a wonderful weekend

Beautiful~

Wow! I have not seen you do something with no negative space like this! Love the colours!

This video with your narrative was so helpful and true!! I can’t thank you enough for teaching me (and so many others) through your videos. You are absolutely amazing!! ❤

So beautiful, as always. Thank you for sharing your insight. Very encouraging. And I love the respect you show for other artists. Your outlook and transparency are a direct reflection on your awesome soul!

Jessica your advise is invaluable.❤

I love this! From start to finish your words were spot on! Shelee’s course is awesome and the FB group access to everyone who has taken the course and are willing to help out (including Shelee) is invaluable! You of course are a pioneer my friend and I have enjoyed watching you experiment and grow with this technique! Beautiful outcome! Love all the colors. ❤️

It’s a great coarse just do it for yourself!!❤

Shelee's course was such an eye-opener for me...and I tried it, then laid it down for three-ish years. I picked it back up....maybe a year and a half ago. I fairly stink at the mouth blown Blooms, but I love playing with the sub-techniques, as it were. I'm working on my "splatter blows"...and kind of everything else. I'm hardly "good", but I enjoy the practice. I will see you in Dallas! (I'm helping Brian and Nate.) This painting of yours is pretty damned cool! I suck at sticking with one technique. Super spiffy with UV light.

I totally agree with your comments on learning, I did the course, but just cannot blow out a bloom. I use a hairdryer, what a mess, but so much fun. The back of your canvas is so clean, I got paint everywhere. I have run out of walls, so now I do pots and rocks.

I remember the experimental stage! So many different recipes to try and duplicate what Australian floetrol does. In the end nothing can duplicate Australian floetrol😂 at least in the United States, but what fun that was experimenting and seeing what everybody did and shared. I kind of miss that time in the journey, it was exciting!

Awesome outcome, I love it!! 😍🤩😍

Thank you for the background information and recommendation!

Wie immer, sehr schön. 🎉

This is a Winterstrom masterpiece! I have yet to find an artist who can do this kind of art, your own technique! I love all your art works!!!!

It’s very intriguing. I love it.

How would GAC 800 work for dispersing the pigments? Any particular reason to use the 100 instead? What about a pouring medium, like the liquitex IRIDESCENT? That's just what i have on hand.... I'll get the 100 if it's really that much better...
