“Now I was talking about something before interrupted myself. Hmmm we’ll never know, I guess. Oh” I swear I love you so much 😂😂😂😂

[@terilemaster4405]

I love them all ❤

[@pinkmyhair-JeCroisArt]

I really like your color palette. I think my fave is with the dark CA on white pillow. I don’t mind your voice-overs…enjoy watching your painting no matter the presentation 😊

[@69Germaine]

I really enjoy this type of video. It's a great learning video.Thanks

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@lisePaquette-ue1to]

I love them all Lisa. They are very beautiful, and please don't be so hard on yourself.

[@cherylarilotta9207]

Oooh I definitely like the dark on dark! And I’m with you, I hate when I do a bloom and the pillow comes through 😣 mostly if it’s a white pillow. But, I loved the “ what was I saying before I interrupted myself?” Girl, you’re the best! Thanks for sharing with us 😊 I learn, laugh and love your stuff!!

[@PrincessJazmina]

Lisa I love these colors together!! Especially with the dark CA!!! The 1ST one was absolutely my favorite

[@wahineotepo]

All are prettiful 😉 I liked the dark CA on the white pillow. Even though the white showed underneath, it kinda gave it a 3d-ish look. I reckon a couple layers of resin coating would make it pop out more too 💕

[@Carole_Williamson]

OMG Lisa, I absolutely love this first one, gorgeous. I don’t really like the ‘Dark Night’ with those wonderful blues, but mostly I don’t see it and see all the wonderful colors. I love the white as well. I like the dark on white too. Love them all. My ‘perfect’ bloom is a spin swipe where I manage to not press too hard and don’t smear the CA and colors near the outside of the circle. I like the smaller cells, personally. And I love color, bright or pastel like, or both. Not really into browns or greens (except bright greens or dark green CA). I guess swiping is my favorite type and spin is my favorite type of swipe. And I don’t like to put colors on top of each other, I like to keep them mostly separated so I don’t lose any of them. SW C2G “Moscow Midnight” is very similar to “Dark Night”, just FYI. I personally just don’t like the opacity of store made pillow (except white and black), that’s why I like to make my own pillow for colors, specifically Amsterdam Prussian Blue Phthalo, love the effects of the transparent pillow.

[@marlenedrewes]

Golly, number 2 is nice but 3 probably my fav. A bit of pillow paint showing through is nice for contrast. Lisa, thank you for no music but you really don't have to talk all the time if you don't want to. We can watch in silence here and there, but your chatting is entertaining.

[@gailk3136]

I loved that first one!!!! (I do like lacing) OK, the second one is awesome. The third one is fabulous. That pillow coming up is so pretty in the fourth. Your "failures" are still stunning

[@pattymccord2537]

Hi Lisa, my favorite bloom is when the cells come up nicely and the lacing is pretty. I appreciate you giving us your time and teaching us what happens when things aren’t right. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

[@melissahatfield4773]

Happy Easter. I love dark colors and have all my life and so even with my paintings I chose dark colors over light. But I like the white pillow with the dark cell activator.

[@domimassou5457]

All paintings are so gorgeous and also the one you did’nt keep 👏👏👏

[@pcornell3410]

Wow, I just learned more in 15 minutes than in last 50 videos! You are amazing and thank you so much ❣️

[@connieking4167]

Love them all, but really like the light on light with these colors.

[@sandiguinnartescape]

These are all pretty. My perfect bloom is different on a small substrate as opposed to something larger so it’s hard to say but I don’t like wonky cells. I like crisp and multicolored ones.

[@micha12908]

Dark on dark is my favorite. But they are all beautiful ❤

[@lorishaw8116]

I liked this lesson! I am so new that I don't know what the perfect bloom looks like. LOL Thank you for showing us the comparison.

[@michelepenirian7638]

I love the white pillow with dark ca😍the best, but all are so pretty

[@partywithpaper7732]

I like the dark cell activator the best versus white. As far as the pillow, I’m always used to white but I blow through to it so I’m considering using a dark pillow so I think my favorite may be the dark cell activator on the dark pillow.

[@bettyknight3824]

All lovely but my fav is dark on dark. Thanks for a great Demo❤🦘🦘🦘

[@joeycasey2323]

This was very interesting to watch. I think I like dark cell activators and dark backgrounds. But honestly, I haven't made a good bloom of any kind yet. Thank you for doing these videos. I am coming to Pour con and am taking Shellee's class and pallet loaded swipes from you!! I am over the moon to get to meet you.

[@lzfluidart8315]

These are great things to share. You know, I always thought I liked the lighter CA but I like the darker better! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@bonniewood5286]

Your Canadian!! Me too, your the first Canadian I’ve found! Thank you for all the tips and tricks!💗🇨🇦

[@sherrieasbury3279]

The first comment I left was at the beginning of the video and now it is 10 minutes and I think you're on the second one but I want to let you know that they turned out absolutely beautiful. I found it better weathered with me making my lip glosses or whatever else that I make them and then let it sit for like 10 minutes without looking at it then! coming back and looking at it and then I hope you like all I really like that just like you said LOL

[@carolynhenderson4142]

Wow Lisa...I rewatched this video and it really helped me to understand a lot about pillow color and activator color. Thanks from 2 hours East of you!

[@lisamarvinart]

Glad it was helpful!

[@HIS_HER.O]

I love the white on white and dark with white CA. Well hell I love them all….guess it just depends on the mood. Maybe dry dark base, dark CA and light color?

[@christiepeiffer5432]

Hi Lisa❤. I really enjoy watching you. You always have some kind of lesson. It is so easy to say, “take it easy on yourself”. I hear that all of the time from family and friends. But as artists, we always think….”oh! I could’ve done that better”, be it color choice or composition, we are just certain we could do better. At least that is the case for me, every painting I have done, I study it and ALWAYS find something to criticize. 🙄. Keep up the videos please. You really do beautiful work. BTW…love them all!

[@CozzyKorner]

I think I almost always like a dark pillow and dark cell activator.❤

[@CraftyChickenMom]

I honestly love them all !! I love dark on dark but also love the white in white and the dark in white lol . I love the cells and lacing and not wonky that’s perfect bloom to me . Also I like both voice over and real-time! Just happy to watch your videos ! Can’t wait till you’re back 💕💕🐣

[@nellieknowsbest9746]

Thank you for sharing. Of the 3 I preferred the lighter one. I also prefer the no music. I usually watch at a speed of 1.5 (adhd'er) and the music is not pleasant then.

[@miramota7772]

I always tend to like the dark cell activator! Happy Easter!

[@OAKbyBetina]

Oh my Lisa, I love your honesty. Can't wait to meet you.

[@phyllissmith9323]

Dark on dark, love this vid. Tks Lisa

[@lorrietavares1669]

Hi Lisa I love the dark on dark best but really like the other ones as well. I apologize in advance for this long comment that you have to read when you have so many others to go through but I need your help with a question. I have never ever attempted a bloom with house paint. I purchased a gallon from home hardware and it said clear base. I thought it said deep base. I stirred it up and I’m not getting any bloop not even close to a bloop. I wanted to be a blooper. 😂😂 the can was on clearance so no returns. Can I add anything to it? I have been watching and learning so much from you for so long now and cannot believe that I’m even asking you for help. The paint I bought is from Beauty Tone underneath that it said Natura and then Pearl and then it said down at the bottom clear base. Thank you Lisa for everything you do. So appreciate you.

[@opald1275]

Thanks for creating this video it really put things in perspective for me. I love them all.

[@Pashanny824]

Happy Passover Lisa & Mo & Eliot!❤ Loved every piece in today’s video. Also, most definitely 💯 quit being so hard on yourself and predicting a fail right at the start. I love you Lisa, so please know this comes from my heart. Most of the time we are our worse own critic.

[@kriswartboutique]

Love them all but the 3 rd is my favorite

[@kimbarboza3473]

This was a really great lesson. I don’t think I have an idea of a perfect bloom style. I love both effects of black and white CA. My favorite was probably the white on white. Because I love seeing the different colors in the cells and I really love the watercolor effect. I think I remember you saying you don’t like to use a straw to blow out the thick CA parts. Why is that? I seem to never be able to go back and blow out the thicker parts after the fact so I use a straw. But I’m wondering if I’m just screwing it up more.

[@susanmccarthy423]

I like to hear the artist talk. then music.

[@mncamper1840]

Great video! Thank you! Do you or can you thin out your pillow? You may have touched on this before but I just don't remember.

[@gardnersgatherers9402]

Your videos are very helpful. Thank you

[@PrincessJazmina]

ABOUT TIME!!! I’ve missed you!!

[@lisamarvinart]

😂 I’m back to normal next week!!

[@PrincessJazmina]

@@lisamarvinart way too many vacations for you!! 🤣🤣🤣 We need you too!!! I want to see you do some BIG canvases or boards. Like a 24” x 48” perhaps!! My oldest son (34) went crazy on the 70% Michael’s sale. I’m thankful but a girl needs some help!! I need something easy (obviously idk what I’m doing) to make 2-3 paintings for my stairs!

[@fionapopovic4523]

Sorry Lisa, however I’m no help at all. I love all three 🤣. For me a perfect bloom, is when I successfully manage to do half of one 🤣. Enjoy your vaca at Niagara Falls. Have a safe and wonderful trip ♥️💥🙏💐💐

[@thislittlepiggy3349]

Happy Passover ! 💕🐷🐰 luv ya girl !

[@tatianafalcone4978]

Lisa do you use anything to make the pillow paint, thinner?. I used color to go and I think it was too thick, no cells..

[@CozzyKorner]

Does the duel cell activator give you both cells and lacing?

[@ginagonzalez8923]

I love them all! I was taking notes the whole time you were talking so thank you for the voice over! Also, i use STW CTG Extra White and im fairly new to this and have realized w this vid that its too thick how do i thin it out?

[@lisamarvinart]

You can use a bit of us flo :) or thinner pillow from another brand

[@ginagonzalez8923]

@@lisamarvinart oh perfect ok! I was going to pick up some Glidden Essentials like you use but have 3 bottles of SW CTG so didnt want to waste it lol. But i have a ton of US Flo so ill try that. Im thinking consistency should be more like condensed milk?

[@cherylmossing6317]

I'm not getting many cells alot of lacking what am I doing wrong?

[@leesahscottage663]

Loved all of them, Lisa!!! ❤❤❤

[@PetraSchmitz-si1ui]

Hi Lisa I have all the products, but it doesn't really work! I also followed your instructions, such as cell activator, pillow, etc., but it doesn't really work! Greetings from Germany Petra

[@penelopem629]

My perfect bloom is the one that works 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sherrieasbury3279]

Not only you are the paint to thick like you said it seems like you put way too much on there and there was so much that needed to be blowed out is that it was hard to do. I don't do this artwork but I watch it be doing a lot and learn about it and I've learned that the spots where your cell activator is still thick and you're not really getting the cells to come through you can take a straw so you can have a specific place that you could blow on and hard enough to where it will spread. Just practice doing some stuff with the straw on a small canvas and if you don't like it just scrape it off and try again and that can be like you practice canvas. I know a good person to watch and learn a lot is The Painted Dreamer, she is such a kind-hearted, caring,funny person with a great personality and is a great artist and I'm think that you will really enjoy watching her and if you do go to her page can you please leave in the comment section that I recommended you to her, I would greatly appreciate it! I wish you nothing but by the way I love your work, you use beautiful colors and you try different things, thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day! 👩‍🎨💖🌇🌃🧡🌅🏕💛🏜🌠💚🌆🌃💙🌁🌉💜 🧑‍🎨

[@tammytyo8871]

It's so funny because you weren't impressed at the beginning of your first blowout and I'm thinking I'd give anything for one of mine to look that good, LOL
