I sell these on my homepage and if you want to up your game and create on big canvases, you seriously should check it out!
DISCLAIMER: It's a tool for serious artists, I always recommend getting a small , cheaper spinner to try if spinning is your thing first. After you've tried other versions, I promise you'll appreciate this guy over all of them if you work with big heavy canvasses and you spin all the time, like me.
For medium and smaller Canvasses, check out my new tiny and mighty Bäby spinner!

Hi Jessica, I loved all three of your paintings! I'd be over the moon if I could even come close to creating art like you! I screamed no Jessica don't scrape these paintings! Girl, you never listen to me! Lol🤣 The last one is my favorite though and I love watching you create your amazing art. Thanks for another awesome video! You're a talented artist and so generous with sharing your knowledge in your videos. You rock ❣️😊❤

[@Linda-z3g3k]

Question: what is the advantage of pouring over a painting versus scraping it off?

That was so tricky and wonderful! Thanks

The last one has beautiful combo colours. But realize, what's perfect to you is not the same for others. I think they were all perfect in their own right ☺️

Thanks again, Mark!

Just have taken the time to watch one of your older making of videos. Your hide&reveal technique in combination with scoop&drag is definitely incredible Jessica👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️🎄🙂

[@karawanser6391]

[@markandroes537]

Very, very cool. Picasso tried to paint the perfect painting for 90 years. Keep chasing it because you paint many great paintings trying ❤

Amazing!

[@sandrabenner5698]

Loved the 1st one. Sigh.

[@cheryltyler9412]

I’ve been doing fluid art on my own for around 3 years as therapy. I’ve never seen this technique. My heart is so happy!

[@WinterStromArt]

Because I made it up. But a bunch of people are doing it now. It all comes from the bloom technique I just added my own spin

[@OAKbyBetina]

Gorgeous

[@WinterStromArt]

Thank you so much!

[@jenniferfowler6290]

I totally loved the 1st one before you tilted it towards the end of that 1st segment. It was amazing! They were all beautiful but that was my fave 😁

[@WinterStromArt]

Thanks for your feedback, Jennifer!

[@Heidi.P.L-PourLove]

Oh wow, they are all beautifull. Almost cried when you poured over the first 2. 😀 I would be sooo proud if i could make such beautifull pieces. 😍

I loved the 1st piece… tail and all! It was Stunning But I Do understand it’s the Artist that sees it differently many times

[@pennyhaase744]

I received a small portfolio of some of your pieces back in Sept. I look at them daily !! I have some time off of work coming up and plan to spend it trying to "master" 🤣 this technique. YOU are the expert ! The is just No End to your beautiful talent Jessica !!

Hi from The Netherlands, first of all it was very painful to watch that second one go, i was so in love with it😢. I am very excited to see you doing this technique it,s absolutely gorgeous. I,m also into liquid art but haven,t figured out how to start with this technique, i can,t get my hands on Behr gloss glidden whatever you guys use. What i can get is just normal latex wallpaint eggshell or something does not exist here i guess . First video of you i see so i,ll have to figure out what you use .But again i,m very inspired, bye👍

[@WinterStromArt]

Maybe I can find something for you one day. But for now I'm clueless. Sorry to disappoint you

[@Cocoandindy]

I just love the first one…still watching…..wow! You poured over it!!! New sub ~ thank you 🤩

I know i did. Sorry. It might happen here and there. Nevertheless, thanks so much for being here, Rebecca!

[@d1analockwood499]

Thank you for an inspiring video, your voice is calming & easy to listen to. Just love the effect of the scoop & drag though I've not mastered it yet, hopefully one day. I need to master the perfect pillow first 😅 I'm happy I found your video today & will hunt for more ❤

That little piece of cardboard or whatever it is you're using two layer colors on looks like a little miniature clipboard. The last layer you put on that black that's what I'm wondering the consistency of it is? I love this technique and you do it so well. Always turns out so gorgeous.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Ahhhhhhhh....that my good pieces should look as good as your rejects! ROFL. I adore the "tail" in the middle of the first one. I love the new Prehnite...and I want to try the Southern Ocean Blue SO much...but I'm on a buying moratorium for the present. Love the third one! Which gold are you using for your CA, pretty please?

[@WinterStromArt]

Thanks kelly! Well, you HAVE to try the southern ocean blue!!! I use a mix of all goldens golds that they make...

[@JaneGrise]

What is the point of using Boom Gel in your swipe rather than black paint with cell activator? I love watching you paint.

[@WinterStromArt]

I’d say personal preference. The boom gel is tricky because it’s thicker than my regular paints but I can use it straight out of the bottle. And it is super stretchy which I loooove

[@karinliebtschokolade8157]

Hey Jessica, wann gehst Du auf Deutschlandtour? Ich war leider unpässlich die letzte Zeit, komme hier vorbei und finde Deine Technik wieder und immer noch faszinierend. Irgendwann habe ich mal Platz genug für einen Spinner 😍

[@luluspittles5424]

Hello Jessica. Quick question: did you modify your gold CA after the first pour? If so, could you tell me if you added more paint or more floetrol please? I am doing okay with copper CA but have a helluva time with gold. Thank you. Cool video - your generosity, as always, is much appreciated.

[@WinterStromArt]

I'm not 100% sure but I think I thickened it up a little. I usually for that I add some paint. To make it easier I use a new container, put the extra paint in there and then add the too thin CA slowly to the paint. that way you get less clumps.

[@luluspittles5424]

@@WinterStromArt Thank you. Having mixed Atelier rich gold (one part) to Ozzie floetrol (1.5 parts) and stirred the bejeebers out of it, it does not run off the stick at all. Same with Pebeo rich gold. They both repel from the sides of the container but I don't see much 'cratering action' on the stir-stick. Will give it a try though. Oh, I just replied to your lovely email from today. Thank you so much love.

[@CraftyChickenMom]

Cool process , so just g possibility ! Loves the second one ! Just curious do you know what perfect painting you’re chasing … or will you just know when you see it ? 💕💕🐣

That's a good question. I hope I will see it, let's put it that way...

[@giuliettakristinsson7520]

Hello Jessica im a beginner and am watching different videos. Love your technique… question do you also add medium to your acrylic colors?

Hi Guiletta and welcome! This technique is based in the sheleeart / bloom technique. I have a complete tutorial about my recipe and how it works. I'd recommend watching it. I have all background knowledge packet into it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3m2pJawqd-KnLc

[@WinterStromArt]

All my ingredients are listed in the description. You're also welcome to watch my bloom recipe tutorial where I get into depth of it all.

[@lisadumas6422]

😮😮 I have a couple questions on your last layer before you use your palette knife either the black one or the blue one you just did what is your consistency of that paint like the one that's in the bigger bucket or cup ? Thanks 😉 ❤❤❤❤❤

[@susanmiddleton5818]

Beautiful job on all! Which spinner are you using? Baby or convertible?

[@WinterStromArt]

In this one I'm using the baby it's perfect for the medium sizes. the canvasses in here were around 8x8

[@aslisarty]

Hello, wonderful swipes 🥰, I have two questions. Your black 'fake pillow' seems to be a more fluid consistency than your colors. Is this the case ? Secondly, why do you use the boom gels on top of the CA, is it so that the cells hold better ?

[@WinterStromArt]

the boom is of thicker consistency so it surrounds the CA and hols it's shape better. It just has a different effect than my other colors. The faux pillow is basically the same consistency than the other colors. It might tend to be a little thinner it's better than thicker

[@aslisarty]

@@WinterStromArt Thanks a lot 🥰, will definitely try the boom gel with the CA

[@cwv-artistry]

This is the 2nd one of these I've seen you do, I was curious if you used a black or colored background if the colors would be more vivid when you scoop and drag them?? This way you don't have to worry about picking up the white pillow.. just a thought..

[@cwv-artistry]

Btw my favorite piece of the 3 was the first one it was absolutely stunning and that tail you hated created so much depth it was soo awesome I hated to see you destroy it

[@WinterStromArt]

You’re right with this I want to pick up some of the white. It makes the colors above it glow.

[@cwv-artistry]

@@WinterStromArt you're absolutely right about the white making the colors brighter but I'm still very curious how a colored pillow would do with this technique

[@WinterStromArt]

Oh, I know rewatching and editing it I yelled at myself

[@cwv-artistry]

@@WinterStromArt lmao 🤣 I've done the same thing tho!! I still would have loved to have that piece on my wall!! I guess it just wasn't meant to be more then a ghost hiding behind the finished product 🤣

[@joannecavallaro5606]

Good morning from Vancouver Washington! I love my large spinner but its in my garage and it’s pretty cold here. I have a question about the colored pillow. I finally got five pieces i loved the other day and every single one cracked 😱 They were mdf, regular wood and canvas. So today I tried more on tile so i can soak them worst case. Not as bad but still cracked. I was really careful about extra paint. I’m kind of stuck. Should my faux pillow be thinner than the pigments? But still thicker than the cell activator of course. I never get cracking. I’m not new at this and i do absolutely love the effect with your style but damn!!! Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@tinawillard7767]

How do you keep the paint from cracking? Or do you spin most of the paint off?

[@WinterStromArt]

Yes, that’s what I do. If I leave too much on it will crack. I spun until nothing moves anymore, that can be hard to tell because the paints are so thick.

[@sujakable]

I see that you apply many color layer by layer will it crack after dry

[@lydiadevries8408]

Have you tried to colour the pillow with ink?

[@WinterStromArt]

I have not, but would think you'd need a lot of ink....

[@barbaraostlund4784]

Which TLP was the pink one?

[@lisadumas6422]

I guess I don't know what you mean by Foix pillow ?

[@WinterStromArt]

I means 'fake' pillow instead of using a black pillow underneath I'm using a black color on top to fake a black background

[@lydiaveldhuizen3157]

1 and 2 where the best for me. Sorry I don,t like no 3 to Dark for my taste.

[@WinterStromArt]
