# 345 - NEW - Paint Mixing Tutorial for 3 Different Floetrols | Acrylic Pouring | Art Demo

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Hi everyone - I hope you all find this video helpful. I can’t believe how long it took me to do this from beginning to end! Wowzers lol 😜

[@mariaresto8219]

Australian one looks better on the blooms only.

[@mariaresto8219]

I liked them all, but flood floetrol gives a smooth finish look.

[@GrammaDecker]

Really appreciate the time you put into this video!! It was really helpful!

[@carmendoyle9786]

DuPont paint make flowtroll that clear like water it like aussie one ! And so cheep ! Letting u know

[@marielebow2976]

Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@brittanymetelus]

As a teacher, I really respect everything that you put into doing this video. Aside from Gathering all the materials, the time commitment is huge. And as many others will agree I'm sure, thank you for doing this and for being so generous with your time and your experience and knowledge.

[@tammyandersonart]

Alot of work goes into these videos especially when teaching. I get exhausted just setting up and mixing the paints but it helps people so it's a win win! Great video my friend and as always ty so much for being so supportive😘

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Thanks Tammy. You’re so right - a lot of work and it’s exhausting but I’m happy to see it’s helping a lot of people. ❤️

[@Vanessa-zh7dr]

Tammy you also constantly do so much and all of your hard work is greatly appreciated 😄 we love you too 😄😘

[@suedavies]

Thank you so much for testing the UK Owatrol, I felt the Ausi Floetrol was the missing link to my painting disasters. Now I know I was just mixing my Owatrol and paints all wrong. I just love everything that you do but especially thank you for helping and educating us here in the UK. 😘

[@carolinewaterstone2624]

I agree with all you’ve said 😊

[@dianemcarthur2631]

Amsterdam paint and Australian Floetrol is what is used as a cell activator which you used as your base so I think this is why you got an excessive amount of cells. We don't normally use Amsterdam as our base here as it is too expensive. Us Aussies have trouble with mixing ratios because our Floetrol is like water compared to yours so we get a different result if we try to follow your videos. This has helped many of us see why we have these paint mixing issues so a huge thank you from down under.

[@lemzulueta3274]

My favorite is the U. S. Floetrol. It’s your kind of art

[@brendaroberts1550]

Thank you for putting all of this together, you are very much appreciated and loved by me and many other viewers. This sure helps a lot...

[@dawnyoung4077]

Really appreciate the effort you took out to show everybody floor trials over it’s beautiful. All three of them are. Thank you very much and have a wonderful evening or day and a wonderful weekend. Thank you for being. You

[@vickiberry7302]

OOOHHH Kanella, I have to send you a HUGE THANK YOU from Acrylic pour painters everywhere. This was an amazing and informative video. What a sacrifice you made spending so many hours experimenting and searching till you found the answers... Again Thank you. The paintings are of course amazing. Honestly I can't tell you which one I like best because the more I looked at them, I'd change my mind. So I can't give you enough praise. Go get something to eat, love on your family and get some well deserved rest.

[@lizymojica5676]

You are the best at explaining!! Love love love your style!! Feels like you’re in my art studio teaching me!! Thank you for taking your time and support for us beginning this beautiful journey!! 🙏🏼💖

[@RebekahSue]

Thank you thank you thank you! - I'm a geek who loves the science behind the paint BUT I don't understand the chemistry. Your work was extremely useful. I'll be adding your notes and the transcript to my pouring notebook. I'm off to go make a glorious mess. Be safe shopping, and ... GO EAT.

[@mypurplelyon]

I'm so glad to hear you say you like the American Floetrol best. It's the only one I use, and for the same reason. I like the soft edges and colors, and not an overwhelming amount of cells. I personally don't like a lot of cells. I like the subtle look. To many cells, and large cells just take over a painting and makes it look yucky. Thank you for the demo. It was interesting and helpful.

[@d.debellis5091]

You are a natural at teaching. Your videos are so informative & we appreciate the time & effort you put into your videos . This was great !

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Thanks 🙏🏼

[@AllisonGoodwin-f8l]

Thanks heaps for taking the time to do these paintings, much appreciated!❤😊

[@southernwaysdesign7744]

They all are gorgeous in their own way American is softer and pretty but it does help everyone around the world to know they can use the other to brands and get gorgeous paintings thanks Kanella for all your hard work they all are gorgeous!!!

[@Ellabobel]

The Australian one is heaps better

[@nancyb7398]

I agree, they are all so pretty!

[@mumo9413]

Flood= Ethereal, Aus= Galaxy crisp, Owatrol = Heavenly I think I'm going to try & mix flood & Owatrol. I feel an experiment coming on! My 1st place most educational video on the tube. Much appreciated!

[@liannejanosevic807]

Thank you so much for the demo Kanella. As an Aussie, I have been waiting with bated breath to see your ratios for the Aussie flo. I was so interested to see that you added no water to the flo, as I find I can’t seem to push it around on my canvas without some H2O in my mix. Will go back and try again. I also try adding no flo to a few colours to reduce that abundance of cells. Thanks for all the time you take to teach us what you know and learn xx

[@gillianbalfour5823]

I also use Aussie Floetrol and I add water and it stops so many cells. Personally I liked the third painting the best.

[@artisinspirationandcreativ3302]

American/Canadian floetrol looks best .. you are the best teacher, i appreciate Kanella

[@stephaniepotterart]

As soon as you finished the 1st canvas I said out loud, “ That’s bleep’in Gorgeous!” I love the soft flow of the American/Canadian Flood the best but these all look Amazing 🤩 in their own right. Thanks so much for all your hard work and showing us all the differences!!! It’s appreciated & the colors we perfect!

[@marielewis1581]

Thank you for the time you take to produce these videos. I have been watching them for quite some time, always saying to myself, “I will begin this journey tomorrow”. Today is never tomorrow, but I have cleared several problems as well as excuses. Maybe today is tomorrow!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Get started! What do you have to lose?

[@IngridSavell]

45:56 Thanks Kanella! As an Aussie this was brilliant to see and will help me modify my mixes. I adore your art ❤️.

[@shelleynutbrown8118]

Wow, this video is amazeballs. So much detail and so valuable to someone like myself who is literally just starting out. I think I’ve done 3 paintings so far and really struggling with paint consistency. You have no idea how appreciative I am of you giving up the best part of your day to make such a helpful video. I love what you said in the beginning. As a viewer watching any video, I find it very frustrating when people ask questions that have clearly already been answered. You were polite but direct, love it! I’m in the UK and used Owatrol for the first time yesterday. Luckily mine wasn’t clumpy at all and went through the strainer pretty quickly. However, I let my paint sit for a bit and when I poured they had thickened up to much but I was scared to add more water. I used 40g floetrol, 20g paint, 10g water. This clearly wasn’t right...back to the drawing! Thank you again. Ps, I love your studio :)

[@Jesjosif]

She advises 10g paint 10g Owatrol and 10g water - that’s why yours was too thick.

[@cleoklepzig4595]

Kanella, this is a great video. In addition to the obvious differences in the floetrol, the biggest take away for me is the importance with knowing the consistency to be able to predict the results. You are definitely on the top of your game!!! Keep the videos coming, I’ll keep watching. Sending ❤️

[@bonniedavis293]

I touch it all the time and get paint all over me. I really enjoyed you taking the time to do this video. thank you!

[@debbiemartschinke5316]

Thankyou, Thankyou ,Thankyou for taking the time to experiment . As an Australian ,,, I really like the Flood floetrol pour. Just too many cells with Australian floetrol.. Also great to see you using paints that are available in Australia . 🧡💙💕

[@sandyrobbins9654]

A suggestion for your broken torch bottom, cut a piece of cardboard to the appropriate size and either tape or glue the cardboard for stability. Loved the demo!! 🤗🤗

[@WillLive4God]

I loved each one for different effects and reasons. I would use the Australian floetrol for the white sea or beach effects. We need all those hard whites and extra bubbles on the beach. I think that the experiment is a success. Thank you Kanella for putting so much effort and love in to each video.

[@brendagurley2551]

Wow! Thank you for taking all the time to work on this presentation. I’ve been wondering what the difference is for all the “floetrols”. Now it is so clear. Different looks for different types of projects! I prefer not to have too many cells since to me they resemble intestines! Lol. You just can’t unsee it once you see it! Others say caterpillars, so I realize I won’t be buying too much from the Australian floetrol except for the centers of flowers as activators as Sharmin does in Milkyway. This hobby can get so expensive and it helps to know what works best for the designs I want to make.. I hope you got some food and lifted your feet for a while after working so hard to be a blessing to so many who needed this video! Heartfelt thanks!

[@dawnmichelle717]

I have thought intestines as well so you're not alone.. Lol 😂

[@jancharlton2770]

This was such an interesting video Kanella. I live in the UK and can easily get Owetrol but the others are extremely expensive to buy. I always thought the Owetrol was a really inferior product but you proved that it can really produce a good piece of art. Thank you and I will keep practicing x

[@willowwilson5358]

You know I'm watching your mixing videos and remember people making comments on a video about how everything is a secret .... what on earth !! I think you've just given away every 'secret' you have 😂 thankyou for all your time and effort ... feel like I'm getting free classes lol 🧡

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Yes. There are a few artists out there who don’t like to share the ‘how to’ or materials they use. To each their own I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ I share everything and anything I can. That’s why I have this channel. To share my knowledge and help others.

[@yvonnacatton586]

Thank you for doing this Kanella ❤️ I’m so glad that the Aus one turned out the way it did lol, I’ve done so many scrapes until I just decided on paint & water for Dutch pours! I think I’ll try the glue & water pm just to see otherwise it will be a costly exercise, again thanks for taking the time to do this ❤️🇦🇺❤️

[@jeanroberts3949]

Thank you for showing us the difference between the floetrol

[@channingmcdonald6199]

I love how the Aussie brand held the depth of color

[@NewLeafEnterprises-gy6qt]

Hi Kanella from Pensacola, Florida. I'm so glad to have found you and your teachings. Love your paintings, love your techniques! I haven't tried my first painting yet but will in the next 30 days thanks to you. thank you so much.

[@anitamatser-baring7999]

Dear Kanella. Thank you very much for this test. I can only get Owatrol and had a lot of problems . It still didn,t work for me. Now you have given me a way out which i surely try.💐

[@johannebrun3409]

I am FLOORED by the Owatrol!!! Wow!!!

[@johannebrun3409]

I think I’m going to try to do a piece with just one or two colors with the owatrol.

[@Kathy-Carr]

My favorite was the Owetrol, then American the. Australian. But the Aussie one would work well when you wanted cells but didn’t want to mess with silicone? Thank you so much for all the time you spent doing the testing. I appreciate it and I think everyone feels the same. ❣️. Maybe when you are rested, a canvas with a combination of all 3 Floetrols….. thank you 🙏

[@mistytaylor5622]

I was thinking at first that I liked the Owatrol best. But looking at them again after you cleaned up the sides, I like them in the same order as you, Kanella. Guess I'm not much of a cell gal either. Thanks for all your hard work & time spent on this video! Great Job! 💙

[@kathrynm7720]

🤣 Kanella, I was watching on my other KZbin account (my main one) and my battery died!! So charging it and switched over to my secondary account. Now I'm afraid to fast forward 🤣 But I must say, you are so generous with your time and knowledge and essentially are giving us all a free very high level tutorial. I have massive respect for you Kanella!! My favorite is 1) American floetrol, 2) owetrol then 3) the Aus floetrol. The Aus looks like a gorgeous blown out bloom. Owetrol somewhere in middle of it and NA Floetrol.

[@mellodym5931]

FYI: You said it Very nicely! Your time is valuable and if people don't listen, oh well. Just so you know, your videos are one of the few I watch that I actually do watch every minute of on almost every single one! Sometimes more than once! I find the info in your videos very valuable and I greatly appreciate it! That's part of the reason I watch you ... to learn! #3 was definitely my favorite until it sat for a bit. #1 was very pretty until it ran off the canvas but after it sat a bit, it became a toss up between #1 and #3. I like them both. #2 is pretty but very cell busy. Thanks for all your hard work and determination, Kanella!!! You are appreciated!

[@fredachesner7933]

I want you to know how much I appreciate all that you do. This video took a lot of time and effort. You are an amazing thoughtful person. I learn so much from you and your videos . My favorite was theovitrol then the floetrol . I live in the US and can only find floetrol but now I wish I can find ovitroel Thank you again for your hard work and time ❤️

[@tinamerrow7319]

Hi Freda ! Owatrol can be found on Amazon $24.95 for 2.5L, also I saw it somewhere recently when I went to get US Floetrol but I don't remember if it was Home Depot, Lowes, Aubuchons.... I know it was a hardware store 🤣 but that's all I got!! It is a bit more pricey than US Floetrol but way cheaper than Aus Floetrol with shipping !! And appears to be worth it!! Good luck!

[@yvonnegent7723]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have Owetrol and American Floetrol but American is harder to get in the UK and we pay a lot of tax to import it and it really takes a while. So grateful to have the ratios I had worked out confirmed as I had mixed it to your ratios initially the same as American Floetrol and it was way too thick still. Very grateful for this. Owetrol is so thick. Xx😘❤️

[@MrsGreen_Apple]

Wow! 🙀 I super love your 🖌 art 🎨 videos🎥, they are so 📚 educational🎓. You are setting the goals higher and higher each time. This is what I wanted to know. Thank you for your experiments and valuable time.

[@MsAngel3208]

Hi Kanella. I can only get Owatrol here in the UK so i just wanted to say how grateful i am that u did this video. Thankyou so much. x

[@Sussanah26]

I use the Aussie Floetrol and I have never got as many cells as you did in my Dutch pours, ( personally I love all the cell action) so I will start experimenting with paint brands, I do usually add a small amount of water as well and my ratio of paint is more. Thank you so much for this amazing video, it is very much appreciated.🇦🇺💖🌹

[@catherineb2463]

I hate our Australian Floetrol for the Dutch / hairdryer pours

[@shirleyjenkins11]

Same here. I've never had cells like that and I use mont marte paints a lot. It was disappointing, too busy and sharp. I wonder why..was it the Amsterdam or 24k? Have you used either? ..I haven't

[@shirleyjenkins11]

hi Kanella, thank you so much for this video that you made with so much effort and effort but also with so much enthusiasm! I live in Italy and here I find Owatrol. thank you for explaining and demonstrating the correct proportions for each product!!! You're fantastic! a big hug 🤗

[@sdavid2311]

Thank you so much for this video. Appreciate all the time and effort This took for you for putting this out for us. I am in India and all of these 3 floetrols are quite an investment on my budget. This video helps me make not only a calculated buying decision but I also already have the mixing ratios tested by you. This is so very helpful and I hope this message conveyes my gratitude. Honestly you are one of the few artists on here who are not just putting out their art but helping others too in the entire process. A million billion times thankyou for what you do here ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@emmakate8686]

Everyone who found this video informative, entertaining or just loves kanella, make sure you like the video and let the ads run through, it’s the easiest way to support your favourite KZbin artists ❤️ monte mart brand has expanded so much in Australia, they have soooo many products available and it’s how I got started but luckily we now have access to Amsterdam etc through local online shop.

[@elizabethnavarromartinez8429]

Thank you Kanella for featuring the three different floetrols & for Saving us time & money. I watch to learn & your wisdom & artistic experience..is amazing! Your so talented & honest with your audience..thank you for your time and efforts I appreciate it!💕😉

[@beatrizvandersee4593]

Hello Kanella! I thank you so much! 🙏💕💕 You have done such a big affort and I know that you have done also a big favor to all of us in Europe who are watching and loving all your beautiful paints! Thank you for sharing your experiences with all the different kinds of Floetrol! A big hug and many many kisses from Germany! 😘😍🥰😘🥰😍😘🥰😍

[@jaalabroome4231]

The edges are more defined. Has a flames like look, and American/Canadian floetrol looks soft like a river ;)

[@Ellabobel]

No true definition on the other two!!!!

[@loistager1460]

After drying I think I choose the American one because of the softness and colors appear to be richer. Thank you for taking the time. Has explained many details.

[@janinewardenoceanjaysartis4937]

Kanella, The time you spent doing this is so thoughtful for those who use different floetrols. I can only get a different one in my country but I am thinking it is closest to the owatrol. Hope you had a great lunch and put your feet up! :)

[@vannajay8267]

I love them. They are all beautiful and great color choices. I do agree with you 100% on the order of favorites. Thank you for doing this video. You did a great job explaining everything and made it so informative. I for sure understand the struggle with the doggies. I have a little yorkie named Sophia and she is so attached to me, I cant do anything without her right beside me. Makes doing my paintings and other things difficult at times, but shes like my little kid and I love her so much that sometimes I look at her and get emotional. Lol.

[@Rocket-Groot]

OMG OMG OMG!!! You are our queen 👑 you should have seen me and wife glued to TV watching this amazing video!!! Thank you so much for taking the time and making it ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for considering all viewers and using paints available for everyone ❤️ Definitely will use new ratios for Owetrol ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pattirussell3650]

Very interesting. Thank you for all your efforts. It is much appreciated. And you have 3 new pieces to sell!!

[@cheryltrue1092]

What a job! It was so professional & a great tutorial. You're a wonderful teacher.

[@marywaid2947]

Thank you so very much. You have made it a lot easier for us and now I feel like I can try pouring again. I have been so frustrated because I haven't gotten good results but now I can try using your recipe and maybe I can hang a painting in my living room 😅 🇺🇸

[@lynwalsh5974]

Because I have Aussie Floetrol here in NZ I’m going to try playing around with ratios, starting with 1:1:1 Floetrol:paint:water to reduce the cell activity while maintaining the thin consistency and see how that goes.

[@oliviagordon4695]

Have been pouring for nearly 2 years with minimal success so Kanella’s floetrol video was a make or break for me. Result ?? I’m in love. Watched the video twice, made notes and followed the recipe.Thanks again for sharing your artistic know-how and taking the time to put it together for us. Took me nearly 3 hours to do but worth it.

[@Chris-zd1bm]

Thank you so much Kanella for taking your precious time to teach others how to get started. You're simply amazing and I for one cannot thank you enough. I think I have now enough confidence to get started on my very first flow art. xxx

[@Bev67]

Me Too! Its 4 months getting materials Id need, but can't get myself started. Scary Stuff! I mixed all my colours today, tonight was the night. Then I found Kanella by chance with Lisa and can't get enough of her. Shes so energetic, enthusiastic and Talented, I love her, this is also my 1st comment EVER! Yes, of course 😢Kanella too, God love her, nice to see Tammy Anderson comment. ❤

[@crystalcave8451]

I really like the third one for the cells and the colours, but overall they all look great.

[@sharons7949]

Thank you! I've been playing with the Australian Floetrol on coasters and trying the bloom technique and swiping. I've been getting some fun results. I also have been swiping the paint on my table and ending up with awesome skins for jewelry. Win win. 💗 Thank you again for the details and time you share! Hope the dogs had a blast as well. 🐾🦴

[@michellepike1882]

I love the last one because it has the cells and softness to love it all are nice

[@jaalabroome4231]

With the different effects, I wouldn't mix the floetrol, but what do you think? The Aussie and Olle possibly. You know if you have paint left over, or premade bottles and what not that could be doable. My favorite is the Olle.(ollie) I'm calling it that. I feel it deserves a nickname too.

[@callimedved9189]

First of all...you are an ANGEL to have done this. Thank you for taking hours of your time to do this for us - it's so worth it and informative. Agree with you that the Aussie floetrol produces too many cells for a dutch pour - absolutely love #1 and #3. Really like the type of cells the owatrol produces. In my opinion, You nailed it on the consistencies! Appreciate you doing the drip tests as well. You rock!!

[@mercedescampain8249]

My favorite one owatrol, floetrol and Australian in that order, beautiful painting wow wow 🤩

[@jospilsbury6970]

Love you Kanella! I feel your pain. I swear, I heard a few of my teacher lines. I am forever repeating myself because my students don't listen and sometimes they have their hand up and ask a question I literally just answered, but they were too busy thinking about their question to pay attention to what I'm saying. It is the bane of my existence! 😂😂 However, I still love my job and it's amazing showing people how to make beautiful things and seeing them make their own interpretations. You do a great job and I appreciate all the effort you put in. Xxx

[@reggii1734]

I’m new to fluid art and use Australian Floetrol, I’ve found adding a bit of water to the mix helps with the movement but yeah, lots of cells 🌻

[@nancyalroy5138]

Thank you so much for all your hard work. This experiment was so important to a lot of us. So happy owatrol came out so pretty, that's the easiest one for me to get, though not cheap. Love your art!!

[@andreeamarginean6069]

Thanks a lot for the video. I appreciate the great effort you put in. I use Owatrol and I know how many liters I almost wasted experimenting with the consistency 🙈. I am a true beginner, but your previous videos helped me a lot. My first painting (80 x 160 cm 😊) turned out amazing and it is a lot thanks to you! 🤗🤗🤗

[@DianeMerriam]

This is probably the best, in-depth comparison of all three I've found so far ... and I've done a lot of looking. I appreciate your time and efforts that went into putting a video like this together. Yep. Subscribed and rang the bell :)

[@luciecooper5961]

Huge thanks from the 🇬🇧 You're an amazing artist and teacher, you've given me sooo much help and understanding as a newster to this hobby. I couldn't understand why my attempts were so different and with this fabulous experiment it's given me confidence to carry on after so many unsuccessful hiccups due to using owatrol and its consistency difference. Love all the videos and thanks once again x

[@jennifergrauer6353]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Kanella! This video is so very helpful! I really love the effects you get with American Floetrol, and seeing your results from our Aussie Floetrol, and the Artist Loft issues you have been having, has shown me that the products are why my Dutch Pours never turn out the way that I would like them to. (I am not happy with the riot of cells and lacing that I keep getting.) I love that you have given us the consistency ratios in products that we have access to. Using that consistency as a base, I can work on reducing the amount of Aussie Floetrol, in favour of water, to calm down the cell action, and hopefully achieve a result closer to your American Floetrol results. I am so excited! Thank you so very much for all you do for us!

[@angelfromhellshawna]

This was so fun!!! Seeing how each piece reacted so differently with the different mixtures...AMAZING!!!!Thank you so much Kanella...for all of your hard work!!

[@nancytravis2183]

Thank you very much for taking precious time from your busy day to teach others.It is so appreciated. Very good info!

[@fayvoyiatsis2660]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us all, you are so very much appreciated ❤️❤️❤️. It’s so good to know I was not going mad or just downright silly as I tried so hard to follow your recipe and was just never really happy with the results I was getting with our Australian Floetrol. Watching you video I think your Australian recipe wil be good but will be next used with similar colours in various tones with less contrasting colours and might help soften the overall results a bit. Anyway one again thank you so much and I look forward to some time off work soon to give it a go myself. ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍

[@tracym6297]

Thank you so much for making this video. I love all three pieces but I think I'm with you on the American floetrol being my favourite. But wow! They're all beautiful! And I watched the whole video. I watch all of them all the way through. 🙂

[@jenanstey7295]

Thanks for this, I use Aussie Floetrol, I've never had that amount of cells, even tried Amsterdam Titanium white as a base and didn't have that amount of tiny cells, out of all the base paints I prefer Liquitex Basics Titanium White. But I also add water to the paint, not all get the same amount of water though.

[@RochelleJones-bf8ve]

Thank u, thank u, thank u soooo much for doing this. I’m in NZ and couldn’t understand why my Aussie floetrol didn’t look like yours!! So appreciate it!

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Jordys_Cursed_Camera]

I love them ALL!! Especially the owatrol one which I didn't expect bc I love Australian floetrol. Excellent work Kanella love all your art. I've learned so much from your videos and hopefully I'll be as good as you one day!!

[@kingloki-yz5yl]

This floetrol thing drove me mad last year since its where you live that decides which one we can use [without being shafted] so i gave up and went with liquitex. I avoided floetrol videos like the plague rather well i thought but cells......i like cells. So yesterday i bought owatrol since its the one we get here knowing it was different to both the others and was already disappointed before it has even been dispatched. So imagine my surprise this afternoon to find this video! Boy oh boy do i feel better now. The start of the owatrol segment did s..t me up a bit with the lumps but seeing the results soon cleared all that. A big thank you for this video. I can guarantee im not the only one. Godspeed.

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

You’re very welcome

[@johathaway5566]

Thank you so much for ALL of your hard work and dedication Kanella! I watched the WHOLE VIDEO and it was filled with an abundance of information. I agree with you on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place paintings too. You are the best!!! I hope you relaxed and enjoyed your well deserved lunch 😋

[@karentemplesnow8960]

This is so helpful Kanella. It explains the mystery of ratios, because, using owatrol and trying to follow a US pm mixing tutorial, I couldn't understand why my paints were so thicK!

[@lizhill2026]

Thank you so much for doing this for everyone, the results are really interesting, all pretty in their own ways. The Flood floetrol certainly produces softer edges. I use Owatrol and I’m really happy with your results. I’m so glad you used Amsterdam and not Artist Loft white. I’m off to order some scales, I eyeball everything 🤦‍♀️. You’ve worked so hard producing all this, hope you know how much it’s appreciated. ❤️

[@cheryl5416]

Are you in Canada and if so where do you purchase your Owatrol?

[@lizhill2026]

@@cheryl5416 no, I’m in the UK.

[@1969strangelove]

I am so glad the third one is your favourite. That’s the product I use as I live in the UK so purchasing US/Canadian or worse Australian floetrol would be far too expensive for me. Thank you for doing this video which confirms few things ..... yeah 😃👏🏻👍🏻

Kanella THANK-YOU so much for doing this..you're an angel💕 now I feel like I can give our EU Owatrol a chance Again 🤗💖💖

Aussi flo shouldn't be too thin. There was a bad batch going that was like water. I had one and returned it for a new one. I wonder if you got a bad one.

What consistency would you expect the Aussie product to be Jenny? I’ve not long purchased a bottle but haven’t opened it yet so no idea what it should or shouldn’t be like

[@animaljammerrares6301]

Well the the thick ultra really really came out beautiful I mean they're all great and I love the intensity of the color in the middle one but that last one was awesome

[@emilyrosscampos9334]

Thank you so much Kanella for taking your time and showing us the difference between the three different products. It certainly makes a huge difference between the three different products and how they react to the paints. Well done!

Wow dear Kanella, thank you sooo much for all your hard work and efforts in experimenting and sharing the results with us. I really appreciate it. My favorite is still the first one with Flood Floetrol mix 😉

[@KanellaCiracoArt]

Thanks hun

[@lauriesylvia985]

I have to agree with you, Kanella, I like the the North American floetrol the best. I love Aussie floetrol in blooms, and although the colors are more vibrant in this demonstration, it isn’t my favorite. I may have to purchase the owatrol, it’s very pretty. Thank you for your demonstration!

[@beverlypeterson291]

How incredibly sweet you are to have taken so much time to do this amazing video!! I learned so much from watching your work! My fave was the Oetrol then the flood Floetrol. Thank you again, this is invaluable information, especially for new learners like myself!!

[@veronicapeace1948]

My favorite is the Amican/Canadian Floetrol piece. It flows beautifully. The Aussie Floetrol piece has a lot of lacing which is perfect for the bloom technique. The Owatrol piece is also beautiful. Especially for Dutch pours. Well done Kanella. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate the differences between each Floetrol. Very interesting and informative video.

Thank you so very much for all your hard work doing these for us. They are all so fantastic. But the US flotrol is my favorite too. The UK one reminds me of a water dragon. So pretty.
