[@scubarojo]

Sometimes less is more. Very pretty.

[@CheriBomzArt]

Aussie Floetral has a couple additives. One is a wood conditioner or something. Thanks for this. Tilting can distort cells. I prefer spins. Will keep watching...

[@karenstrong8887]

So gorgeous. After watching another one of your video’s earlier today I went and did a bloom painting with cells. It isn’t as lovely as yours and I still have flocculation on the edges. I was also so excited because I saw what I was doing wrong that I mixed my paint wrongly. I am starting to have trouble thinking of three things at the same time. It doesn’t matter what my painting looks like. You fixed so many problems I was having. Thank you. ❤️

Hey, I'm in the UK too & can't work out if they're all using emulsion (for walls) or gloss (for woodwork) as pillow paint! What paint are you using please?

I just came across your channel when looking for a cell activator recipe. I learned so much more about the pillow paint. I too wondered how Shelee pillow paint moves so quickly. I’m going to try your recipe. I look forward to looking at your channel for other videos 😍

Gorgeous 👍💯%!!

[@brianlavigne596]

How much acrylic paint do you add to your glue mixture? Your cells are so good!

[@biner59]

Gorgeous...love the experimenting. I find the same thing. Would love to see you play around with North American floetrol for the cell activator. I am in Canada as well and refuse to pay the crazy prices for Aussie floetrol.

[@lisamarvinart]

biner59 thank you! I did in the beginning and it was hard lol. Maybe I’ll go back it now that I know more!

[@biner59]

I ring a little glue and conditioner does work but I see it so it’s very poofy if that makes sense. Would be nice to see them side by side but I don’t have Aussie floetrol...but you do 😉lol

[@stephengriffin1541]

Please can you explain the difference between paint and cell activator? Also I tried to do a pour and used satin house paint (emulsion) and then used acrylic colours mixed with liquitex medium. All of my colours dissapeared into the pillow of white when I tried my first ever swipe. I am very new to fluid art and am having far more failures than successes, but I gues that’s quite common. Any advice would be appreciated. Your pours look effortless and amazing by the way🙂

[@amycarpenter6699]

Wow!!!!! LOVE IT!!!

Madison G thank you!!

[@Kadence333]

Hi Lisa. Great painting. I just happened to search for different pillow paints that others use. And that mix looks great. Gonna try that. Also I have an idea you may like as well. Instead of glue, what about a textile medium. They've made to be stretchy...but they are very very fluid so would need to adjust the ratios. Just an idea. I use folkart textile medium in my cell activator. I saw another artist use GAC 900. Its a textile medium as well for fabric

[@bonniemorris8704]

SSSSOOOO beautiful. New to you and subscribed! Look forward to seeing even more! Great instructions and thank you for sharing!!!

[@lisamarvinart]

[@cherylarilotta9207]

Just wondering if silicone can be used as a cell activator for this technique? Your work is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talents

Love It, i tried everything but never get the cells 😩😩 what do I do wrong, please tell me 😄

[@dovespaligrino8312]

That is beautiful..

[@Vishgayamenon]

It is stunning, but what do you mean by this has cell activator?.what components are there in the specific clrs and why?

[@amberzec]

Torch the white paint lightly to remove the bubbles

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

Very beautiful thanks so very much :)

[@lisamarvinart]

Angela J, Saca's Art 2020 thank you!!

[@helenrothwell5160]

If you're using Australian floetrol do you bother with glue as well and is your ratio then 4:1?

[@artiste247]

Love experimentation

[@paolaandreatta6087]

Wow❤

[@mamasuzi29]

This came out amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@lagitanne2000]

beautiful

[@cynthiawilson8294]

Spray the back of the canvas with water so it tightens nicely for you. Also, the higher the gloss of the pillow paint, the more it will stretch.

[@sandrabarrett-hoomani4822]

That makes sense .. even though a Satin house paint is listed in the #sheleeart USA product list for the pillow paint.

[@cynthiawilson8294]

I don’t do Bloom technique, but I am a nerd.

[@terilechner]

@@cynthiawilson8294 I'm glad to hear that because I have semi gloss for my pillow paint. I do use Sherman Williams color to go and it is only in Satin. Seems to work great and I can have it colored any color I want and a quart is less than $9.00 in the US.

[@loripyter6158]

That is as good as it gets!

[@donnadecicco]

I love it!!

[@DorEli533]

Amazing cells. What are you adding to your regular colors. I'm a bit confused about the ratios. I have the pillow ready to go but I'm mot sure if you add polyacrylic to all the colors or just the cell activators

[@shirleyann1901]

Stunning

[@spire4101]

Do you have a video on how to make a cell activator? Oh and by the way this is absolutely phenomenal! The colors are incredible. Absolutely eye candy.

[@pamelalengyel2841]

Just found you. You are very talented. I just joint the group and class. Lots to learn. What size and where do you get you spinner and other supplies please.

[@jeanmastrangelo1157]

Absolutely gorgeous… I agree don’t tilt it it’s perfect… The only thing I probably would have done prior to that was to tighten up my canvas a little bit with water… I’m trying to get a bloom but my pillow sucks and I use the same recipe you use glue all flow trawl and I put in titanium white and mine came out like crap but I also use the hairdryer and I am bad really horrible with the hairdryer then I tried to blow the store and it was too late I had just playing messed it up But nothing is a mistake everything is an experiment and a suggestion…

[@sherrieasbury3279]

Just some friendly advice make sure to scrape the paint off your spinner as soon as you're done because if not it will just keep piling up and piling up! I just wanted to share that with you cuz I noticed you had a lot of paint on your spinner! 😆💜🌸

[@carynpercell8979]

Are you mixing anything in with all your colors, for example water?

[@pattymccord2537]

I love the colors! Turned out really nice

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@diannebrunner6386]

Gorgeous! Love your videos!

[@TimeforColoursAcrylicPouring]

Wow Lisa, you really master this technique! I love it ❤ unfortunately I've tried with UK Floetrol I cannot get those cells. As I live in Germany is pretty hard to purchase US or Australian Floetrol 😕

[@lisamarvinart]

It is really hard without Aussie floetrol! Have you looked up European recipes?

[@CheriBomzArt]

Do have any hardware/paint stores there? Suppose u do. A place where house painters go. Ask for a paint conditioner. Amazon, FLEET Farm, Lowe's may ship.

[@knottedgems5835]

Stunning!!!!

[@pauldriver9615]

Really love your videos. I've just subscribed to the Sheleeart Course and used your code. Can't wait to start experimenting!

Yay! Have fun!

Do you use Glidden premium semi gloss pure white base 1 or base 2 which must be tinted?

[@debraderrick3911]

Love it the colors are amazing. Thank you for sharing

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@debramclaughlin7525]

sooo beautiful. Does the art still look as good now? have not used the glue yet some say the colors yellow over time if use the glue. Thank you for sharing this process.

[@brenda33181bs]

Do I have to use house paint ? What else can I use? I'm not understanding what you mean when you are calling your paint a cell activator ? Are you meaning that you've added cell activator to those particular paint colors?

[@Carole_Williamson]

Ok, so, this is 2 years ago. Do you still mix your pillow like this? And how do you tell if it’s stretchy? personally I could only tell the second, the mix, was thinner than the plain pillow. Couldn’t tell anything else

[@carollenolin7249]

I am in Quebec city, I would like to buy the exact products you showed, could you please write it down because I do not know what is 4 parts of glidden, with Elmer's glue you take and what is the Watco tintable paint you take. Thanks in advance.

[@blanketyblankblankety]

This is awesome! Question… for this technique I notice many artist use wood. Can this be done on canvas?

[@lisamarvinart]

It can but it sags

[@acrylic.paint-pour.clogger]

Hi Lisa, I'm a new subscriber, and I'm wondering if you live in Canada? (I do.) Paint is so expensive here, and so this time I tried buying the professional house painter's paint by Behr. It has the number 100 on it. It was $10 cheaper than the Glidden Ultra, which I bought the first time. It seemed thick when the salesperson stirred it, and it seemed thick when I poured it on my canvas, but like the Glidden, it didn't seem to stretch much. Unlike the Glidden, my colours, that I applied with swipes and a CA, kept sinking into the pillow! I swiped colours over the pillow paint at least 4 times in total, and still those swipes shrunk in size. The result was very unsatisfying and I'm afraid to try it again with out adding something. (I wish I could attach a picture.) I'm going to try adding some glue and US Floetrol as you suggested to see if that helps. Thanks for this video! I'll let you know what happens.

[@Blondie7676]

What kind of glidden paint ?

[@Roxy4utube]

Well, this one is way stunning! Got a little confused with your colors as you were layering them. Got to go back & listen again. After watching this video and then the next one where you experimented with 5 different combos, I think I like this one with the glue all best. What do you think Lisa? Which one is your very favorite? I am going to go to Shelee FB and see if maybe you already answered that question. Would love to see your Sneakers sometime. Must show him! Keep well. C ya shortly on FB! 😘😍🥰🐇💕

[@lisamarvinart]

I’m still experimenting! I’ve also tried adding a bit of water when I want to use the hair dryer!
