I have been watching and learning about all types of art for 4yrs and was frustrated with the secrecy in what people use for PM. I care for my elderly sister who has an intellectual disability as well as immobile. It has been hard to take her out because of her disabilities. I paid to do the Shellee art course months and actually haven’t finished the video. I finally now have found a way for my sister to do something at home. She says I can’t paint and I said you don’t need a paint brush. I had a builder give me some of his old house paint woohoo. I am going to transfer the paint into milk bottles and hopefully have some use for the paint. I am a country girl where we had mainly what you can find and manipulate. Ihave an idea of using a liquid floor polish to thin paint. Ha ha I have been accumulating a lot of different mediums paint pigments stencils canvases and 6ml mdf rounds. I have done a few pieces of art happy with some and not so happy with others. I enjoy watching the simplistic tutorial for my sister to follow. She has short attention span so the little squeaky toys adds a laugh for her. So thank you for sharing.

Love your channel it’s so nice to listen to someone who speaks slowly and explains everything. Glad I found it.

Thanks so much for helping me out with my art journey.

[@MariaWalker-qo3vi]

Omgosh! THANK YOU for saying that about the house paint and the reason for it! I’ve watched at least 70 videos about PP, trying to figure this whole rocket science project out, and you are the ONLY ONE that explained that it’s just because of COST! I’ve been stumped, wondering what is the magic of the house paint! I have acrylics galore (including Amsterdam, liquitex, golden, as well as all their pouring mediums and additives), so I can proceed! THANK YOU SIR! 🤗❤

I am from Serbia and i just received my Ozzie Floetrol from a great ebay seler from Australia, the company is called wholesalepaintgroup. It arrived in about 15 days via Australian post, and it cost me 100$ australian, or about 50 Brritish pounds for a pack of 3X500ml, so 1,5 liters total, with shipping.

I always feel like a beginner every time I do one of these. So thank you for a new idea. To me they always seem just like a background I'm in landscape artists so I'm thinking once The fad goes away. Maybe that these could be used for a background for an ethereal picture painting. I don't know if I'll ever get used to them as just that as as a painting thank you❤

[@karenbowman2303]

Just came upon your channel. Both are beautiful You used house paint as your pillow, but ppl say you can't torch house paint, it leaves a film on the top of the paint. Is the house paint used straight out of the can, no thinning it down.

[@venomfluidart]

Thank you Karen, it's a myth you can't torch house paint, people that say you can't are doing it wrong. Keep the flame away from the paint, it's the carbon dioxide the flame produces that pops the bubbles , not the heat ( c02 is heavier than air). Yes the pillow is straight out of the can, nothing is added. 👍🐨

I am not Venom Art but the brand is JoSonja gloss varnish but if there is a German equivalent- like what you use to wet your pigments, if you do that, or to thin out your bloom mixture, if you do that, then use that.

How do these dry, does the CA sink? And do the cells disappear?

Great video! I'm in USA where Aussie floetrol is cost prohibitive so it's great to find a recipe that doesn't use it. I'm curious what makes using the "right stuff" (Aussie floetrol, etc) more gallery quality than paint and water? Is it the quality of pebeo paint?

[@reinettemarais6868]

After about 20 different videos I discovered you and at least understand more than nothing with the others. What is the Joe Sonia for. I am in South Africa and will definitely not found it here. Thanks for your awesome video and excellent explaining

[@venomfluidart]

Thank you 👌🐨 The josonja gloss varnish is a waterbased polyurethane, it helps stop the water breaking the binders that hold together acrylic paint. Acrylic paint doesn't like it when you add more than 30% water to it. Also being a hi gloss it helps with cells, as it changes the surface tension of the cell activator ( and who would think science would be helpful in painting lol ). As you are in south Africa, I'd try a different water based polyurethane gloss varnish that's available there and experiment with it. I hope this helps 👍🐨

[@sandranaylor536]

[@isabelvera8464]

Excelente video. Gracias por compartir. Me gustaría saber si a la lámpara negra le colocaste Jo Sonya. Gracias ❤

[@bella-bee]

Thx that was huge fun! Think I’ll give it a whorl! Does the Amsterdam work because it’s denser than the pigments and the pillow paint?

[@barbararichter7077]

Have you thinned the house paint at all, & transferred to a bottle??

[@cathyhaase1550]

I try the paint and water with the house paint for a pillow and the large white round dots came through. I also used amsterdam paint with American floetrol and min wax wood conditioner for my CA. I don't like the big round dots they are not cells. What di I do wrong?😮

[@venomfluidart]

Because you mixed water with your house paint pillow, you don't add anything to the pillow paint. It won't work if you don't follow the instructions in the video. 👍🐨

[@cathyhaase1550]

I am sorry I miss lead you. I didn't add water to the house paint. I just poured it straight from the can. I mixed my acrylic paints with only water. Thank you for replying.
