Hi Everyone,
*Of NOTE*, in this tutorial, I’m using Glidden GLN6413N. About a year ago I switched to Valspar 833124 and I’ve been using that since. EITHER paint is perfectly fine for this recipe. They are interchangeable.
A few people had questions about my pouring medium and paints, so I decided to make a video during my next mixing. I use these colors in my next tray which turned out fantastic, so the results validate the process! So this video is for the visual people because, sometimes it's just better to see the creation than read about it!
In this off-the-cuff, but pretty detailed video, I cover with close up detail:
Pouring Medium
1. My ingredients and ratios for my PM that I currently use
2. Measuring those ingredients into the PM mixture
3. Mixing the PM for use with the colors
The Colors:
4. The starting point ratio I use mixing the PM with the colors
5. Mixing Gold with the PM and discussing color adjustment and consistency
6. Mixing Bronze with the PM and discussing consistency and showing how to THICKEN a paint
7. Taking a Yellow and discussing consistency and showing how to THIN a paint
The Pillow:
8. Next I show my Pillow paint and consistency I'm looking for.
I will have a different video showing how I mix my American Floetrol Cell Activator video just to keep the lengths shorter and videos more focused. Here's the link to How I mix my CA Video 141: • 141. Cell Activator Re...
For all of this I cannot emphasize the importance of CONSISTENCY throughout and you must have all three components: Pillow, Paints, Cell Activator to their correct consistencies so that they do their job separately and collectively in making a piece come to life. Each component has a different consistency by design (And of course the mastermind of all this technique is SheleeArt). Strangely, I'm able to get good results not using the 'recommended' ingredients, mostly because when living in California I couldn't get the Behr 8300 recommended paint for the pillow among other reasons, so I had to go with other options trying to get the same end. Someday, I'll try those ingredients and of course you will know.
My Current Pillow I use is PPG Multi-Pro 47-3110 Interior Eggshell
My Current PM I use Glidden GLN6413N with MinWax clear gloss varnish 3:1 ratio
I’ve started using the JoSonja gloss varnish in place of Min Wax and it works the same!
I hope this video being hands on and up close will give everyone clarity!
Thanks,
Louise
