This was the best way to really show the consistency of the 3 types of paint. It is a big key on making or breaking a painting. No one until now has done such a Perfect video as you did. This was wonderful! Thank so much! It made a big difference for me. I love all your colors that you use! This video was so educational and was a great visual. Thank you!

[@johannebrun3409]

I love that you show the poured version!! Soooo helpful

[@user-cb7ti2um1w]

I learned a lot. So thank you so much for doing this so we can learn 🙏🥰

[@LeftBrainedArtist]

This is my kind of experiement Lisa. Thanks so much.

[@lisamarvinart]

Glad it was scientific enough 😂

[@FluidNationArt]

You could blow mud and it would turn out beautiful!! Great job showing the difference in thickness, thank you!

[@lisamarvinart]

😂 I’ll try!

[@margaret7620]

Excellent demonstration of how differences in consistency = differences in result. Thank you!

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@myriamtoledo3641]

I recently started pouring and learning how to do the Shelee art blooms. The consistency is the hardest to learn and picking the right materials. This video is awesome. I learned a lot. You were very specific in showing and explaining the differences in the paints and consistency. The visuals were great. Thank you.

[@jillsines5587]

YES!!! Thank you SO much for this comparison video--my paintings have definitely been #1 the too-thin consistency. I prefer the term 'lightning' rather than 'spindly' lol 😁 Now I'm excited to thicken things up for better-shaped cells!

[@Eatsleepart]

Even your " off " stuff is beautiful! More beautiful than anything I've ever done. Wow your so gifted and talented! Beautiful job. Thank you for explaining everything so detailed. I NEEDED to see this! Thank you! 🙏

[@cnbowles1]

This was so helpful..thank you for taking the time and energy to do this for us🥰🦋

[@Marie-LouiseArt]

Such a comprehensive explanation Lisa! Thank you angel! 😇

[@lisamarvinart]

You're so welcome!

[@donnabeasley251]

Welcome back Lisa! 👏🏽😊

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@andreabarrett7742]

Most definitely the best consistency vid I’ve seen! And I’ve seen A LOT! Lol. Thank You for putting in the time to show us this. I’m sure for you it’s boring to do these vids since I’m sure you can mix your paints with your eyes closed, but it’s so very helpful for us newbies, so thank u! 🙏

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw thank you!

[@lynne2945]

Firstly it’s great to have you back, hope you had a wonderful family holiday. A big thank you for taking the time to do this video. It’s an enormous help to me. I love the second one with the perfect consistency.

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw thank you!

[@janstringer4233]

Welcome back! I have missed you and hope you had a great holiday. Thank you for this video, I have learned a lot.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you! ❤️

[@valeriedaprini4251]

Hi. This was so very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to do it. I love your way of talking through what you are doing. Great energy and enthusiasm!

[@jeannineeverson1070]

Thanks beautiful, just what I needed today. Bless you 🙏🏼❤️lots of people like me are visual learners, this is the best video yet for showing us consistentcy.

[@sfwandhrw]

Great video Lisa! Very helpful. Thank you!

[@karenavery3672]

Excellent, just what I was looking for.

[@sharondaggett4399]

Great video. It really helped see consistency better than a regular video. I so appreciate the time you take to help the rest of us!

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw I’m so glad!

[@jeezjaze]

I just love your personality, makes it so much more inviting to watch your vids. Ty for sharing your knowledge!

[@connieking4167]

Welcome back, hope you had a wonderful vacay. Love the video, thanks so much for taking the time, and expense to make it. It’s really helped to see the consistency. Thinking maybe I’m to thick on my mixes.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@joeycasey2323]

Awesome video Lisa, it was very helpful!!! Thank you, you are the best!

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay!

[@donnascreativedabblesplayi9549]

Thank you for such great information in a visual form!!! Very helpful!!

[@Pashanny824]

That was a perfect analogy of the different viscosities. The 3 drip test.❤

[@Heidi.P.L-PourLove]

This is a great demonstration, really helpful to See the different consistencies and results of them. And also beautiful results 😊 Thank you so much for showing 🙏

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@Durga695]

Perfect timing for this video, addresses a really crucial factor and really helped me gain more insight into what I am doing well and what isn't great.

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay!

[@stacey6730]

Welcome back from a well deserved vacation 😀. Fantastic video. The part that was most helpful for me and you said yourself, was seeing it with your eyes.. putting the puddles down up close showing the consistency and what the mounds should look like really helped me understand it better. Seeing it in the cup especially darker colors is hard sometimes. I learned alot in this video and I would love to see one on the consistency of the CA. Great job Lisa 👏

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@MixedMediaCraftsbyDiane]

Thank you very much Lisa. Seeing the different consistencies has helped to see the cells we are looking for. I like the medium and thick consistencies.

[@birdingsue]

This video is very helpful. I have saved it and already watched it twice.

[@lisamarvinart]

Amazing!

[@kimberlyaltman5535]

Very helpful, Lisa! Thanks!!

[@micha12908]

OMG I missed you. I missed your quirky words you say. Your always make me giggle. This was an excellent video as always. Xoxo

[@lisamarvinart]

😂 thank you!

[@victoriabrown567]

Very very helpful. Just what I needed.

[@marjbarnes131]

Great video. I struggle with consistency with just about any technique. Glad you're back.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@CnBArtStudio]

Great info LIsa and VERY helpful. Thank you.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@patgreene4029]

Great video Lisa! I enjoyed watching it and learned a lot. It also explained some of the results I have seen on various blooms I’ve done. Now I know why they were like that. Thanks so much. 😁

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@tinawillard7767]

Lisa this was amazing. I an new and I think I am just listening to to many artist. This is exactly what needed. Now to find your cell activator and I will be golden. Thank you so much for taking the time to help ones that are struggling.

[@lisamarvinart]

I’m so glad!

[@jenniferpena6534]

Love this video thank you. I’m getting ready gathering ingredients to start this technique you’ve been a big help thank you

[@juanita920]

Wow thanks so much for this tutorial!! It all makes sense. Thanks for explaining everything.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@carolynbrew3770]

Oh goodness I have been very sick with the same thing and haven't Painted in two weeks so did a few blooms yesterday and almost passed out 😔 This is going around especially with kids I have granddaughter who was sick at Christmas she gave to me

[@zina6581]

Great video!! Thank you so much!

[@palmbeachcoastercompany7596]

Firstly, welcome back! Thank you for this video, super informative. It’s so hard to tell consistency from people’s videos because they are often sped up or slowed down. My paints could be thinner and they look runny in my videos because of the editing. This was just perfect because it was real time!! Thank you again, time and effort and expense all appreciated!!

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw thank you!

[@dominikakowalska8103]

Thank you Lisa!! I needed this video!!

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay!

[@carolineg.5461]

I'm sure if it's a begginer than blow out the 3 pieces we have more difference. 😂 You are so skillful that you are able to adjust the way you blow to get the best result. 😁 A most interesting video with very visual examples. In addition, you generously give of your time, your products $$, to teach us the art of bloom. You are so pleasant to listen to and easy to follow. No matter the length of your videos, I am captivated by what you do or show, how time flies with you!!! 💙💛💙 Thank you sooooo much Lisa Marvin!!🤩

[@margaritaphobe]

Welcome back, I hope you all had an amazing holiday, with many treasured memories made ✨. Thank you, for this video, the time you spent in filming and editing, the cost of your paints and other products used as well as your time. Time that you have taken away from your own painting and/or time you have sacrificed with family and friends. Just want you to know, that I sincerely appreciate you doing these videos to educate and help all of us, new to bloom technique. I certainly didn’t like the too thin paint bloom, as it looked a little muddy in some areas and the cells and lacing certainly didn’t hold up. Love, love, love the ‘just right’ bloom and that Lemon Sorbet, definite favourite of mine ♥️. I have a difficult enough time, blowing out a bloom with perfect consistency, no way, could I blow out a thicker one 🤣. Sorry for long comment. Thank you 🙏 ♥️💯♥️💐💐💐💐💐

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw thank you so much! I really appreciate it ❤️

[@dawnhoge]

Thank you for this great video. I have never seen the kind of comparisons you did. Now, I think I understand the consistencies that I need.

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay!

[@holisoyloli]

Thanks Lisa, very interesting, I have learned a little more about consistencies, which I needed!😊

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay!

[@marybethslayden5585]

Perfect! as I knew it would be. Love that you are super carefree. It's encouraging me to relax and enjoy the process more and more. I get a bit OCD while learning, especially when things don't go as hoped. Your video explains a lot for me as to why I get some of the results I get when I'm trying to bloom. Got a stack of 54 canvas panels, super inexpensive, for me to practice on. I have 39 left. Wish me luck and good blooming!!! Thanks tons!

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw I’m so glad!! Have fun!!

[@tammylynnarts23]

Oh Miss Lisa, I think this is my 4th time watching this video. Lol. But consistency is so key and I see now I was on the thin side for blooms. Thank you so much!! 🤗

[@lisamarvinart]

Oh yay!

[@beetongirl]

Nice to have a couple weeks to find new inspirations for your art!

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay, thank you!

[@virginiasadberry2972]

Thanks Lisa, this is so helpful. I will try again and hopefully I will get something more like yours, which are so beautiful.

[@lisamarvinart]

Have fun!

[@JRB1691]

Thank you so very much for this video, I now know that I am in the too thin group and need to thicken my paint a bit to get the look of your second painting. This was so helpful and I can't wait to try with thicker paint. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay!

[@4fsake2024]

This is very helpful!

[@mariasolmirarodriguezsilva8620]

é aprendido muchísimo contigo 😊tus videos son largos pero entretenidos,los veo de principia a fin, por qué con tus demostraciones se ve perfectamente los resultados al momento,ademas eres muy divertida.gracias por tu paciencia y genersidad👋👋

[@gr8PoPcorn]

You are right. After looking side by side, the middle consistency, your consistency, is the best for color & cells. You are good, my dear. Really good!

[@gr8PoPcorn]

And of course, thanks for teaching & sharing. This was a great video. You are so helpful & much appreciated !

[@JBpourart]

Thank you so much, I learn so many things from you. Thank you❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw thank you!

[@luluspittles5424]

Thank you. You are a gem.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@cindykirk3153]

Thank you so much ...my cells when I first pour and blow them out look great but next day they look horrible all the cels are gone or very wonky....you have showed me my paints are way to thin ....I will adjust and hope I get better results ❤❤❤

[@natalybernard1195]

Thanks Lisa !! I’m beginning and this video helped me soooo much !! I’m looking at all the pieces I’ve done and I can see my mistakes now mainly du to bad consistency 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@lisamarvinart]

I’m so glad!

[@yvencia1150]

Thank you for sharing 🎨🎨

[@ilonakirsch3344]

Great Video!

[@debbikaplan1255]

This was super helpful. I have been doing too thin. Sickly cells that melt. Hope you had a fun vacation. Thanks for this demo.☮️💙

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@99rainbowsartstudio]

That was great !! Thank-you so much!! 😊

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@69Germaine]

great teaching video. Beautiful art.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@diycardboardcrafts65]

Thank you. This was very helpful. I am just starting to experiment doing blooms.

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay! Have fun!

[@RebekahSue]

This is a great video, Lisa. It reminds me of a science book my mom showed me when I was little, with spider webs done by three spiders, who of whom had been given THC and LSD. Too big, too small, just right. Have a safe and wonderful holiday!

[@lisamarvinart]

Oo that’s cool!

[@michellej7mj]

Thank you for this wonderful video I have not even done my first pour yet as I’m trying to absorb as much information as possible and this was so very helpful, appreciated. 😊

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you! Have fun!

[@KaleidoscopeFA]

It’s beautiful

[@urvashimehta8709]

Thank you for the comparison. Very vivid and infirmative👌🎶

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@marisabermudez9891]

Thank you so much again Lisa for your time and knowlage! I think it is very clear now, even though it is still dificult to me to get the right enamel here in Spain... or they are too thick or they are to thin😥. So every time I mix, I have to adjust... Happy you had a nice holiday!

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay!

[@Pashanny824]

Lisa, I’m a fan of your videos and enjoy them a lot. I found that JoSonia makes my cells squirrels. I use it very modestly.

[@lisamarvinart]

Yes! You have to make sure to have the perfect consistency!

[@lindamayall8706]

Thanks! Very helpful!🤗❤️❤️

[@lisamarvinart]

I’m so glad!

[@99rainbowsartstudio]

Love that apron!!! Very cute!

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@mylilbostons]

Thank you so much! This has helped me understand why exactly I'm getting faded colors and spindly cells. I keep thinning my paint because I am thinking it's too thick. Opps- wrong way😆need it to be thicker!

[@sharonbacon7489]

Outstanding video. Love how you got the camera down at eye level so I could see the mound formation. Im sure this is going to help. : )

[@KimsArtAlchemy]

Great video on consistency. You can really tell the difference in the cells and how the paints blew out. Personally, I don’t like the “too thin” look. The Goldilocks one is gorgeous of course. The “too thick” one has its place- it had great cells and a cool softening of colors around the edges. Thanks for taking the time to show us what can happen depending on consistency. ❤️

[@lisamarvinart]

Goldilocks! ❤️

[@JennifersAcrylics21]

Ohhhh I see the difference in all 3! Your go-to is definitely the best looking, I love the lemon sorbet is that a piggy? I thought my paints were thicker but they all end up looking more like your thin result, hummm. Back to the mixing for me! Thank you Lisa for showing the differences. Do you still have the dried pieces? Would love to see them dried too. Hugs from Colorado

[@miramota7772]

Thank you very informative!

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@audegregoire2244]

Hello Lisa 🙂 thank you so much for your sharings 🙏 I am in love with your paintings !!! I just wonder how the consistency of the pillow and of the cell activator is the best ? You may have told about it but I am french and certainly miss some explaination 😏... all the consistencies have to be the same ? Or the cell activator has to be thinner than others ? And what about the pillow ? And the blowing must be important as well I guess. The middle of the puddle first and then a soft blow through the exterior of the canvas ? I hope my questions are quite clear 😀... And I thank a lot everybody who can answering me 🥰 ! Have a nice day 💕

[@SnarkasticSunny]

1st time here...that apron will look beautiful as you get paint on it! Can't wait to watch this so gotta' go..."Hi!"...☀️in CA

[@lisamarvinart]

😂 hi!

[@SnarkasticSunny]

#2 is definitely the best of 3...but I do like the cells in dark part of #3... But colors didn't really move out to edges & I can't blow that hard! Will be hurrying a bit more on my quitting smoking if am blowing out paints! Either that, or passing out from blowing so hard! "Face painting" my blooms!?! Ha-ha! (Do I want thick or thin for that?! LOL) "GEE Sunny...your bloom looks like it has a squished nose profile in it." 😆 LOL

[@Angie-zx8ft]

This tutorial is the $#!%!! I soo understand & can contemplate what u say & as well as I doooo..I am still trying to find “my” perfect consistency. I feel as tho I know exactly yet I have my shitty mixing days when I get flocculation or tiny cells or even none & just lacing & u know that’s when the Dr.’n em up comes in & that is where we or I lose measurements lol..so at that point I just keep experimenting & crossing finger. Anyway u know ur stuff & I thank u for sharin what u do! Knowledge is power!!

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw thank you! Yes, we still get bad days 😂

[@kristyramirez556]

They all look great. I’ve been trying out new untainted.

[@lisamarvinart]

Oo fun!

[@lyndaburns531]

Great information-especially for a newbie! Thank you for spending so much time to help us out. I have a question. You mentioned Behr 8300 for a pouring medium. When I looked it up, it says it’s oil based? I’m not sure if I’m looking at the he right thing?

[@myrawedemire5946]

Thank you…yes learned from this. My question regarding cells …Many have said that cells shapes in the bloom comes from the ausssie floetrol in the cell activator ….so wondering about that

[@lisamarvinart]

Yes the flo makes the cells, but the density of all of the layers of paints makes a difference!

[@theparticularartist32]

This was very helpful! I took the sheleeart class and this is a great augmenter to that! I have made the mistake of too thick and too thin paints... one thing also about too thin that I didnt realize but shelee told me was that the extra jo sonja can cause cracking/crazing!! It was happening to me along with the squiggly wonky cells! So that would be another reason not to go too thin! Always err on the side of thicker if you are going to err 😂😂

[@lisamarvinart]

Ha yes!!

[@janicejolly3954]

Very informative, Thank you, xxxooo

[@lisamarvinart]

❤️

[@feliciachild8804]

Very helpful video thankyou. Would it be possible to do a video on how to do the methods it takes to achieve the different designs?

[@lauraoakman-ve3yw]

Hi Lisa. Loved this tutorial, thank you so much. One question.. when you mixed your pigment in the varnish, disd you add behr also like the tube paints, or just varnish? Thanks. Love your work, I know I've told you a million times, but I really do. 🙂

[@marytrujillo2394]

Your work is beautiful! I hope mine can look half that good. lol

[@jeanniekalogeras]

I needed this video 😆 I hope you didn’t make this cuz of my last post asking but then I hope you did so thank you again Lisa!!!! 😆 ❤❤❤

[@lisamarvinart]

Yay! No I plan these videos in advance 😂 But they always seem to relate to someone!

[@myriamklein6673]

Thank you so much for the video, it is extremely helpful. I’ve been trying to watch videos to see which ones show how the consistencies look but this one is by far the best. I have a small question, for the spinning how do you adhere the canvas to the spinner? I feel very reluctant to spin a little harder for fear the canvas flies off … which I’ve seen happen. Thank you

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you! I just put a little paint underneath:)

[@rheaclarke9798]

OMG, we have the Julia Child of all paint mixing recipes … seriously… this video was the best, to help me work with my own mixes.

[@lisamarvinart]

😂 love that!

[@lisadumas6422]

Lisa I thought if it was too thin to add more bear 8300 and obviously I was wrong but my question is if you're using fluid paint like you did how would you thicken it app for some reason the video kept repeating it so three times before you actually did the drug test. Which could be my junk phone. Thanks

[@megiball1020]

I am struggling with my cells in a bloom. I have tried many things and I am not being successful. Will a very hot work area cause issues??

[@cindylu3037]

I'm kicking myself for not watching this when it first came out. I'm testing the runny floetrol. Each time I get good cells then watch them melt. It became apparent after watching this that my colors are too thin!! I'm gonna try again tomorrow with thicker paints. Wish me luck!! Thanks for this video Lisa!!

[@lisamarvinart]

😂 hope it works!

[@BrandiWineRn]

My colors are probably slightly on the thin side but when I blew mine out they wanted to almost come back in on itself. Idk if u know what I mean. I didn’t use a lot of the colors bc it was a small test and probably used to much pillow. How to thicken my pillow up ? I am using Glidden premium white in eggshell. Also would love to see what the different cell activators would do to thin to thick and just right! Thanks so much also when u do your drip test can u try also using a very small amount bc I don’t mix up that much of each color bc I don’t want a ton leftovers. Also wow that behr is sooo thick compared to my valspar. To thicken my paints should I just add more color

[@fugoogle1965]

Lisa where do you think your “perfect one” would fall if you were using a consistency chart to check the consistency of your paints?

[@santababy1952]

This is a good timing for me as I just did my very first bloom on a tile and it cracked all to pieces. I know for sure I didn't leave too much paint on because I barely got it to move enough to finish covering the tile so I'm thinking my pouring paints were too thin on top. I simply used Glidden Premium in semi-gloss with some GAC800 in it. If my pillow was OK will it split if your paints/pigments were too thin? About how many seconds would you estimate the trace of whatever you put on your pillow be before it disappears? I've invested a bunch of $$$ if I can't get this down. I know, just keep practicing and practicing. I was easily discouraged and because I am disabled with my spine it took me 3 days to recover from it after mixing and retrying 4 times. SOS! Thanks so much for all your instructional videos.

[@marywuattoux9085]

Know the feeling. I needed more seeing of the consistency! But watching is not doing!!! Thanks for sharing/comparing the different pour/consistency your expressions tell a story ...great lungs and Talents... marye on...

[@clydebaisey3484]

I have just realized that I have always had my CA too thin. it disappears under the last color. But I do have questions? Is there a way to thicken too loose of a CA? Can you use liquid paint as a CA and how do you thicken it?
