and now, to the art:
If you need an overview to my ingredients and the whole technique, you might want to watch this:
• A complete tutorial of...
My POURING MEDIUM
Behr Dynasty deep base semi-gloss and minwax polycrylic (roughly 2:1) from Home depot
And thinning to the right consistency with JoSonja gloss varnish (Dick blick, jerrys artsarama or Fluidart.co)
Paints mixed with my PM:
Golden - teal
Firedots pigment - caribbean blue (discount code below)
Amsterdam - prussian blue, oxide black
TLP - macaw
fluid-art.co/ for TLP and SUP, Silicone mats, Palette knives etc.
The magic juice/Cell activator is mixed with australian floetrol. (1:1)
paints added:
amsterdam - oxide black
The wall paint I use for my PILLOW PAINT is Glidden essentials 'white' in eggshell
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SPINNER I'm using is my own design and creation. Every single work step is done by my hands and my table saw (operated by me)
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!

What a totally satisfying splatter-blow! 🍾😃

[@abbieyandle4986]

I imagine your classes will be amazing. Thank you for teaching those who can't attend these conferences and not being pushy about it. Jessica you are one of the best 💓💖❣️🎉

[@WinterStromArt]

Thank you so much, Abbie. I don’t want to annoy people but on the same hand I have to advertise a little but. It’s tough sometimes

[@abbieyandle4986]

@@WinterStromArt you are too adorable to be annoying 🤣🤣

[@bostonbutterfly4473]

Beautiful 🩵💙🩵

[@HeyRaeSunnyDay]

This pieces just wonderful! I was a little worried the primary part of the composition almost fell off the canvas, but your tilting brought it back into PERFECT harmony with the space. Genious.

[@Sunshine-md9jj]

As always, Jessica, - beautiful process with amazing results! Your videos are sooo inspiring ! Thank you 🙏🥰

[@WinterStromArt]

I’m so happy you like what I do. Thank you so much for your kind words

[@annruef9859]

What would happen if you spone your pillow a little before you added your paint? I watch you always, your the Beast! Thanks for sharing!

[@WinterStromArt]

That would definetely help. Thank you

[@sallysharma7483]

This is a very special one 👊🏼 sooo inspiring as always 💖

Beautiful! I learn something every time I watch you play - thank you.

[@BERNIEARTFLUIDE]

Merci pour tes partages, expérience et continuité font de beaux tableaux 👍🙂🎨

[@lucybloom7600]

Good morning Jessica! Thank you for your colorful video today. I really like those little bubbles. Of course the splatters are fantastic and dancing. That was a good blow for sure. Just loved how the composition expressed herself with the expansion of the splatters. They turned into a very interesting design. As always your color combo with these blues and the sheen of the Macaw just make for a beautiful painting. Have a great day.😍

[@luluspittles5424]

So fun to watch you learn and to teach simultaneously Jennifer. The pillow paint struggle continues for me too.

[@WinterStromArt]

😂 you make me smile, Lulu! Thank you

[@tina-ec7ce]

I LOVE the results….but I Do Absolutely understand the pillow situation because it was ABSOLUTE Stunning after the 1st smaller spins But… I’d be Beyond Thrilled if my pieces turned out 1/2 as Amazing as yours do! Ty for sharing, teaching and bringing us along your journey! 💙💙💙💙

[@HeatherReneeAcrylicpour50]

Gorgeous Jessica!! I have tried using just think acrylic paint,& it pretty much did the same thing but I felt something was missing so I mixed some house paint into my white acrylic paint & I loved what that did as my pillow. It was stretchy enough but I could feel I had more control over my paint use for some reason. It kept everything I did intact. Also what I do now cuz I struggle with paint usage of any kind but mostly pillow just as you, so I've been taking my canvas & putting one extremely thin layer tilting until I'm there then add my pillow whichever style of pillow I may be using that time just some on the canvas in the middle stretch it out as far or as little as you like & go on with your design. For me doing a thin base coat down first really helps me see what I actually need & I'm not worrying about all the edges & stuff ,it allows me to just spend the time I need on creating my masterpiece 🥰🥰Hope this makes some sense to ya! If u try it I'd lobe to see what you think of it. ❤️🥰

[@WinterStromArt]

Thanks for sharing. I’ve been playing with that a little. You might be onto something (sorry for the late reply btw…)

[@debrahaberman5592]

❤

[@WinterStromArt]

Merci 💕

[@lorricat5897]

This happens to me all the time,I love my composition and then the spin or tilt! I use too much pillow paint I think.

[@WinterStromArt]

Dang! So much to learn still!

[@Daves_drh-acrylic-creations]

That final splatter blow was epic. ❤❤❤

[@WinterStromArt]

It truely was a good one! Thank you

[@christinaschwertfeger3195]

I love this 1.. I gotta try this kind.. ❤ it so much...

[@WinterStromArt]

You should! It’s so much fun

[@paulagoynes]

I like how you just let loose and try different things. I like the painting. ❤

[@WinterStromArt]

That’s the way. Free as an artist 🤪

[@michellemyers8439]

I love that you are always experimenting and growing. So many folks I've followed have become "one shot ponies". I love your splatters. I also think you may be correct about future plans. Oh...and by the way...I LIVE your fuzzy hair. 🤣

[@michellemyers8439]

LOVE not live. 😤😡

[@WinterStromArt]

Thank you so much, Michelle! I appreciate you and so does my hair! 😊

[@odilehelbongo5221]

I learn so much with your videos. Thank you thank you💝😘 this piece is gorgeous !

[@RosePatakyArt]

Gorgeous!! I’m learning as you learn and love to watch your videos! Great work! 😊

[@pattisoutherland3791]

I think this is your best splatter painting yet! What if you just put a thinner base coat of the house paint 🤔. Would that mean less spinning?🤔🤔🤔

[@WinterStromArt]

It would mean less spinning but also my composition would sink too fast anc the cells wouldn’t be as pretty.

[@fluidartscape]

Love your approach to creating art…… thank you so much for sharing your talent ❤

[@WinterStromArt]

Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@deborahobrien255]

LOVE IT!!! You said you tend to use too much pillow paint. What if you tip the canvas with the pillow paint on it BEFORE you add your pouring medium. That way, if you stretch the pillow paint, you won't have to tip or spin as much later. Hmmmm.

[@WinterStromArt]

That would restrict my actions. The more pillow I use the more I can move it around and change the composition. Unfortunately I don’t know ahead of time how much I want to move it. When I used less pillow the other day I wished I’d used more because I couldn’t stretch it enough. It’s a fine line

[@karl-friedrichjagau9974]

Awesome pouring and helpful tutorial video especially your additional explanations. Good job Jessica👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️😘

[@WinterStromArt]

Thank you so much, Friedo! 🌸

[@CraftyChickenMom]

Love the color combo and those bubbles are pretty sweet ! 💕💕🐣

[@lindajakub624]

I love the splatter. Must be thin paint? Right? So pretty.

[@WinterStromArt]

I think thinner paint helps but I just use my regular consistency

[@joycedavidson8702]

This is gorgeous. Beautifully done. ❤

[@WinterStromArt]

Thank you so much!

[@trac4967]

Nice! 😍 Have u tried Blackboard paint...works really well as a base for this #Phenomenart 🥰

[@WinterStromArt]

Wow, that would be so cool. I have to try it out

[@marliess.]

Yummy 🤭🤷‍♀️🤗🫶

[@Heidi.P.L-PourLove]

OMG... gorgeous ❤

Thank you, Heidi ❤️
