Lisa.. thank you so much for this tutorial! As much as I am in LOVE with acrylic pour paintings... I have hesitated to give it a try.... Primarily because I live in a small condo where storage and activity space are limited...and let's face it... paint can be messy! BUT... you have just given me inspiration!! With minimal paint, pigment powders, a cell activator, and a few tools... I can do this... and possibly keep the mess off the carpet. Gosh... I'm so excited now. Thank you!

[@kaymarkley5390]

Love your work, I m new at this craft and trying so hard to achieve some of the ways these pours are done. I've tried many recipes for the mixing the paints, can't seem to get all the cells even though I use the exact recipes. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but I love your work.

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

Thanks so much, Kay! In this bloom technique, the cells arise because the paints we use as the "cell activators" are very thin and stretchy. You can blow or swipe them over the other colors and the other colors pop up through the parts that stretched out. These are very different from cells that arise in regular pours- those are usually from the friction of the paints and the oils used in them (and the oil in Floetrol encourages cell development.) Hope that helps!

[@heatherannobeirne5555]

I would like to start by saying your creations are always stunning. I watch your videos over and over again, they are all amazing. I have had zero luck in succeeding in doing blooms or much else for that matter.I decided ti try and use the exact ingredients that you use. I went to purchase the Valspar paint and was surprised there was 3 bases. Do you always use baser c or does it vary depending on the colours you are using? Thank you so very much for sharing your knowlerge and for all the videos you have done.

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

Thank you for the kind words, Heather! Yes, I only use base C because I typically use darker colors (which C is designed for) so not sure how much difference you'd see with the A & B.

[@heatherannobeirne5555]

@@HarmonyHouseArt Thank you do much for getting back to me so quickly.I am getting so overwhelmed with all the different recipes out there. So many just font seem to work fir me.

Have a wonderful day.

[@janebrownell6828]

So helpful. Think you can show us how you mix this recipe with tube or jar paints?

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

Thank you, Jane! Tube paints are the same 2-ingredient mix then you will add Floetrol to thin as needed. Usually about 1 part paint, 2 parts mix and 1 part floetrol for brands like Amsterdam and Liquitex basics. 💞🤗

So, it's not untinted gloss paint, it's the BASE for making paints that you need. Of course you you skip it and see what happens though.

@@HarmonyHouseArt thanks!

[@rbeaddesigns]

Hi Lisa. It’s pretty but I kinda liked it before you spun it 😀 Got a question: the pillow you used, did you actually use black house paint or did you use something else for that color? One more thing: I find it’s much easier to disperse the pigments first in about a tablespoon of either your mix or JoSonja. Then when you add your mix it’s very fast to combine because your pigments are basically paint at that point. You can get all the granules mixed in super well with mixing the small amount first. At least that works for me.

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

Super, Roberta! I'll have to try that! Yes, I just used house paint pillow this time but don't recommend it. 😊🙏❤️

Hello Lisa !! I look your mix for the first time. I have a question for you. The valspar is very liquid and blank? Is dry transparent? is like the satin enamel Behr 8300? But this binder is soooooo thick comparated to Valspare...😂😂 It's just for verify my PM. And think than I have find why you have the paint more liquid for the bloom dutch. 🥰❤ Your results are soooo amazing when you do the bloom dutch. Is it important to verify the transparency of the paint for do bloom flower? Thank you so much to help me sweet Lisa. ❤❤❤

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

Thank you as always for your kind words, Caroline! No, the Valspar is very thick like the Behr brands and has no added pigment but does have a natural, light yellowish color from the ingredients in it. If your bloom mix seems too thick, try adding Floetrol or JoSonja varnish to thin it out a bit. Even though Floetrol is not thin, it helps the paints move around and go farther because of the oils in it. The brand of base paint you use doesn't matter but the climate you live in does affect how the paints work together.

[@carolineg.5461]

@@HarmonyHouseArt Thank you sooooo much for the answer. Your so sweet to answer me. ❤❤❤

[@joeycasey2323]

I have another question if you don't mind. I just noticed you used black satin enamel paint for the base. What is your recipe for that? Same as the colours you mixed?

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

No, the black satin enamel base is much thinner. I mix 1 part DecoArt black satin enamel with 1 part Artist Loft Soft Body black. To that mix, I add 2-4 parts Floetrol, then a few drops of water if needed.

[@tonyajackson0960]

Is mica powder a pigment paint?

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

Mica powder is just that- colored flakes pigment that have no binder. You can add the powder to resin straight from the jar but for paints, you must mix them in some kind of binder.

[@brendagurley2551]

What are you doing to get the black base? Are you buying black paint or coloring the white base #3 with tube paint?

Pudding is exactly how it should be but if you don't have a hair dryer to blow it with, try adding US Floetrol until it moves more easily. The other option is to use the much thinner JoSonja varnish instead of the triple gloss...this will result in a much thinner mix.

[@michelel1852]

Hi Diane, I think it's a reasonable question and I'm not aware of any danger associated with the ingredients I use. When it comes to varnishing your pieces, I would suggest you take them outside because of the strong fumes.

[@ItsVick]

@@HarmonyHouseArt Isn't the Valspar Base C considered house paint even though it is untinted. It is confusing me. Your PM uses Valspar + Varuthane + tube paint or pigments. So, what is the Pillow? Is it the same exactly as your mix for PM? Because I am understanding that the two ingredient mix is for you Pillow as well as for your Pouring Medium. Correct? And I thought that the Pillow should be a little thicker than the PM and the CA is even a little thinner than the PM. Is that correct please?

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

@@ItsVick I use the 2-ingredient mix for the colors and the base (pillow) and I leave them roughly the same thickness...that's how I do it. Everyone seems to have to find their own way with the blooms. Even if you have the same exact ingredients, your pour may react differently due to the climate you live in, specific paints used, etc. I just happen to NOT love house paint though I know that's what many use for the pillow (straight from the can!) You will have to experiment to see what works for you.

[@dianedompierre4488]

Question. Is the untinted paint « semi-gloss » and the Varathane also « semi-gloss « . Thank you so much.💐

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

Hi Diane, the un-tinted base is semi gloss and the polyurethane is triple gloss. But, I don't think a glossy base or less glossy varnish would make too much of a difference. It's more art than science and I think there's room for experimenting!

What is your ratio between pouring medium and tube paint

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

Hi Amanda! I don't measure things out but am guessing it's probably about 1 part paint to 2-3 parts of the 2-ingredient pouring medium. With tube paint, I also have to add a little floetrol since the mix is so thick.

[@joeycasey2323]

When you buy the tintable paint, you don't get them to shake it either correct? You just take it home and mix it yourself I've heard.

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

Correct, Joey! The tintable base is 1/2 of the pouring medium I use for blooms and the store people may think you're crazy buying it without having them add the color so I just tell them I'm doing it myself =)

[@Risingphoenixx66]

Hello from The Netherlands.I made many paintings but never tried this technique because i don,t know what to buy. I,m afraid to ask stupid questions but...interior paint like you use Valspar with a primer in it isn,t available here i guess, Is it wallpaint , a latex? Hope you can give me some clarity on this, thank you in advance, maybe the other products are available on Amazon, love your work👍

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

What I use to make the pouring medium is the tintable base paint that stores use to mix custom color paints with. They start with a tintable base which has no pigment added and that is what I use. I just tell the stores I'm making my own custom colors. I mix half of the tintable base with half of either Josonja varnish or triple gloss varnish. It will be a very thick mix but you can thin it with more of the Josonja. If you don't have a store nearby that can custom mix paint, you may be able to find a tintable base on Amazon and I know you can find the varnishes there. Best wishes! PS- I think they are probably latex bases.

@@HarmonyHouseArt , what ratio do you use?

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

@@debbiefiremanmarr7225 Of Floetrol? That depends on the paint- tube paint is heavier and will need more Floetrol than pigments or liquid paints like Golden or DaVinci. You will have to experiment to find out what works for you and your particular paints. If it's too thick to blow, add more Floetrol...that kind of experimenting is needed by each individual.

Are you no longer using the Ovation paint but are now using this Vslspar paint in its place?

[@HarmonyHouseArt]

You may have confused me with another artist- I've never used Ovation..don't even know what that is. 😄

@@HarmonyHouseArt ok thx for straightening me out. I’m going to give this a try.

Gorgeous Lisa! One question- what is your base layer recipe (ie the paints you use to flood a larger canvas). Is it the same Valspar/Varathane plus paint mixture ratio or different?

Thanks so much, Judy! Yes, just answered your email! lol! 😅
