Ok. I watched your videos yesterday and today I have made kind of a bloom but I know what I need to do now. The cell activator worked as it should but I already had mixed paints but they are liq pm and floetrol mix. They didn't work that great and I do t believe thick enough. So making up fresh tomorrow and will perfect it. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you very much.

[@GarrickBrownArtStudio]

Aww Leah I hope that the new mix will work. Keep tweaking your recipe and it will all come together!

What is your pouring medium and why do you add flow medium? Is it needed?

[@CheriBomzArt]

Flow medium helps with cracking? Gac 800 generally does.

[@GarrickBrownArtStudio]

Hey there! So I change pouring medium pretty frequently. This was a mixture of liquitex pouring medium and Glidden esstentials semi gloss as I needed to mix up a new batch. I dont measure anymore because I can tell better off the flow. I will try and do a pouring medium video soon.

Hi Garrick great video! Just a suggestion it made a huge difference for me was buying the cake spinner 12inch off of amazon it's only about 15 and it turns the blooms from so so to holy crap they grow huge. It's not the plastic top it's the steel one!

Do your tiles have a glossy finish? Does the finish or type of tile matter?

[@GarrickBrownArtStudio]

I use both! It doesnt matter if they are glossy or matte.

[@ArtbySusanKing]

Congrats! glad I found you! Beautiful bloom! Question, do you ever use in-tinted house paint in your pouring medium?

[@GarrickBrownArtStudio]

I do from time to time!!! I love trying new products haha. I adjust my paint when you untinted house paint. its a little thicker.

[@pattiporter9728]

Everything I’ve read states the CA should be the thinnest, thinner than the colors and the pillow being the thickest. Your CA looked thicker that your colors but had beautiful cells. I’ve had cells but before I’m finished spinning they have sunken into my colors. My CA looked as thin if not thinner than your colors. I’m going to try and go with a thicker CA tomorrow and see what I get. Do you think I’m on the right track? Thank you for your video. It has been enlightening.I have taken the Sheleeart course and have watched tons of videos.

[@rozbudell]

I was staring at his CA too... and I’m going to try a thicker CA to see if this helps me too!

[@jeniferinps]

The CA is much thinner than his paints you can tell because it drips off not drizzles. Also Aussie floetrol is much thinner than American floetrol. It should always be thinner if too thick it won't move the way it needs too!

[@GarrickBrownArtStudio]

Hey Patti!! If you are in the group shoot me a message. I'll try and find you. My CA is thinner. It can gove the illusion of being thicker but its the way it drips off. It drips in large drops usually whereas the paint drips nore in longer drops. Hope this makes sense. The best thing I ever did was make my CA and just add a little more to it and test a bloom in between. Hope this helps!

Hey Cathy! I have in the past but definitely time to do it again. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

[@victorial.miller7953]

I did notice that you added the "mt flow medium" to the American Floetrol but you didn't add it to the Aussy Floetrol one. So I going to assume that you DID get a different result, right.?

[@elzbietaaugustyn7594]

Would you be more specific what you use for base, also you do not mix paint with floetrol??

[@GarrickBrownArtStudio]

Base right now is satin colorplace thinned with water. I have a new video coming very soon specifically about the pillow.
