Sometimes we have to take control of life instead of life having control of us. Glad to hear you are taking control of things! I am always in awe of your work and I constantly learn from you. Keep being you and doing the art that you love! 😊❤

[@alisonlyng3520]

That blue base is just gorgeous. And you've got the cloudy ethereal effects satin enamels give. Both beautiful pieces. ❤

[@pcornell3410]

Love your experiments and your creativity on KZbin. Please do not leave it!! This was a wonderful video with DecoArt Satin Enamel. Thank you for sharing ❣️

[@marjbarnes131]

Wow I love both of them. Really like the smokiness of the second.

[@tina-ec7ce]

That was FABULOUS!!! Omg … you just get better & better! I Love your style!! Like I LOVE your style sooooo much!! Ty for sharing, teaching and experimenting to help us learn along with you !! You Rock!!! 👍🏼❤️

[@likeacanvas.7]

I watched all your creation videos on KZbin more than I do on IG. I love all your paintings so please don’t ever think about not posting them here ❤ The Paynes’s Gray and Hammerhead combo is a hit!

[@debrahaberman5592]

Last weeks dried result painting is gorgeous! Enjoyed this weeks paintings as well. I so love your style. Watching you create, is really an experience.

[@tanjawiegrefe7335]

2 wunderschöne Bilder ❤. Sie sind PERFEKT, MEGA, BRILLANT. Auch wieder das Minimalistische❣. Satin enamels scheint ein tolles Mittel zu sein. Danke 🙏 für die super Demonstration. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪, Tanja 😊

[@kevinmccartney4906]

Beautiful results with the satin enamels - thank you for sharing, Jessica! I really like the cloudy effect and it's fun to see you experiment.Totally enamored with last weeks piece too! 🤍💙🖤

[@lovefluidart3120]

Love you and your work- so beautiful and I never imagined how gorgeous the satin enamels would be in a swipe- I'm in awe!

[@CathArtistry]

I have been feeling a similar kind of frustration about not having enough time and energy for everything in life, including doing art. Thank you for voicing the problems we can run into on social media forums, and being true to you! You and your art are inspirations. Thank you so much for sharing! 💖I am loving these wonderful swipes too!

[@brendawashington206]

Glad to hear you are making more time for the things that bring you happiness. Beautiful piece Jessica😁😘

[@claudiamann7111]

That blue base is just gorgeous. Great paintings. Also love your dried painting from last week. Thanks so much for sharing. Can't wait to see more of your experiments.

[@CnBArtStudio]

Hi Jessica. These are great!!! I love how the satin enamels create a soft cloudy ethereal look. It’s beautiful. On the darker background it is great. Thanks for inspiring me to try new things my friend! 🤗❤️

[@vioricapertescu7410]

Wow! I love this pictures!❤

[@melodywilson5255]

Ooo ooo that's awesome! I love bloom swipes. I love cloud pours. Why not do both?? Love it!

[@WinterStromArt]

Yes!!!

[@Catherine0122]

Soft and beautiful! Love your experimenting. Thanks for sharing.

[@patriciastephens-ch2us]

Jessica, I love the satin enamel swipes!!! I can see a lot of possibilities with it. I also love your dried swipe painting. Oh and my spinner is awesome💕💕💕

[@7fossilfiend]

Now that I completed the video, I LOVE these pieces!! I must try. 😊

[@carlakoyak1129]

Your satin enamel pieces are very cool. That second one looks like a x-ray or some kind of scan. Awesomeness Love your dry piece. ❤

[@thislittlepiggy3349]

Super love you Jess! Love all of you ! Keep on experimenting! Keep doing you !! 💕🐷

[@Charlene-jd8hy]

Excellent observation about media outlets!

[@SaraTaylor]

Wait… what!? Girl, two worlds collide. I’ve always put satin animals in a separate box from bloom. Way to blow the top off that idea! You popped your first bottle… Let’s see what happens next! Waiting with bated breath. Appreciated your comments on social media, it’s a trudge and can be quite draining. I don’t know what Instagram is thinking, dropping that reel bonus… congratulations for moving on to bigger and better things! Much love sister machine.🤘

[@lydiadevries8408]

Awesome the painting “where u wanna be”

[@willashriver1356]

Beautiful! Stay on your list, honey! I have lists, too. Also - I've never been on Instagram, so I won't miss you there... I've enjoyed your work here on KZbin- thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! 🤗🤜🤛👏👍 ✌🤟

[@johannebrun3409]

Looooove the satin enamel effects!! Well done!!

[@FloatingDreamsStudio]

Oh Jess it dried gorgeous! ❤❤❤. I love it so much! Great idea with the satin enamels! I have a bunch of colours in that so something else to add to my list to try! My fave girl ❤️

[@lindabrown7436]

Glad that you you choose to take a break from Instagram. As a viewer I stopped Instagram because I could not see who and what I wanted. The enamel applied over house paint produced a ghostly effect that I like very much. When enamel is used with straight paint as a base you get large fluffy cells and tiny white dots that can change the appearance of the composision. I have been play arounf with the ghost effect using the enamel and like it very much. I love watching your videos and always learn so much from you. I am still working on getting my knife swipe technique dialed in. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us,

[@AugustsAcrylicArt]

Great idea trying the enamel in there. Thanks for sharing your experiment!

[@sjpouringcolor8359]

The enamels give a softness to the firm cell outlines. I’ve it.

[@karl-friedrichjagau9974]

Marvelous and definitely excellent artwork as always👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️. By the way I’m absolutely with you that you’re going to take an Instagram brake. Looking forward to watch further of your making of videos on KZbin Jessica🙂.

[@pamh9674]

This is awesome!! Will definitely add to my list to try. Digging the denim color too.Thanks so much you talented and clever human!

[@marliess.]

Jessica, die "Experimente" sind der 🔨 !!! Und das nicht nur, weil ich ein Blau-Fan bin 😄 Zum "üben" sind die kleinen Leinwände ja gut, aber für das, was da entstanden ist, waren sie definitiv zu eng. 🤩 Das jetzt trockene Bild ist 🎉🎉🎉

[@kimberleewixom5112]

I totally love your art and learn so much from you! Thank you so very much!

[@pinkmyhair]

Excellent video. Love last weeks dried results. This video’s experimentation with satin enamel was beautiful! Gave such an ethereal feel! Looking forward to seeing you play some more with this and where you can take it!

[@BillRobersonArt]

Experiment successful!!

[@rebeccabarnes3324]

Beautifully Created !

[@fluidipityfluidipity3085]

Looks super in the swipe! Only have tried it with cloud pours & love that effect. Good on you for experimenting! Love the dried result from last week too😍😍

[@Charlene-jd8hy]

GREAT results ❤

[@SorayaZiziArtist]

So gorgeous Winter!❤❤

[@tawndralove9854]

Thank you so much for dropping this today. I know you are at FAE but I was having withdrawal this week from seeing your videos! ❤

[@tamzart7974]

This turned out absolutely EXQUISITELY!!!!. I am so very proud of you Jessica, you are an amazingly talented artist and second to none with such an awesome soul. Gosh I wish the Australian economy and postage was (trying to think of a words without using words I might get in trouble with) lol!! 🙄🙄😖😖🤑🤑🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣anyway it SUCKS. I so want a piece of your art in our home 😢😍🤗🥰❤One day 🤞🏼🖖🏼🤞🏼

[@TravelerPaints]

Cool to watch, like the effect. Often use satin enamel but only in thin paint techniques, never tried for a bloomtype technique. 💙Nathalie

[@MariaGorettiCF]

You work is fantastic ❤ Thanks for charring…

[@ItsArtByDonna]

Always inspiring!

[@Heidi.P.L-PourLove]

Beautiful, and what a great Idea with the satin enamel, love the puffy look it gives. 😍 I totally get you're frustration, i haven't got the energy, to put content on my Instagram, i feel like KZbin and Facebook is enough for me at the moment. 😊 13:33

[@barbaradeerfield2204]

They look amazing, the dried one is pretty. I've used satin enamel base then took a line of blue long ways down the canvas then the same with a little brown and a gold. Then swipped on both side horizontal. Afterwards I spun and it looked like a stream of water or melting snow running over snow covered rocks.

[@julianapeyravy2432]

I love your method!❤

[@joanndavies1356]

Love all of your work!! 💙

[@leesahpink701]

Beautiful 💙

[@claudiamarseille5057]

Love how the painting seems to come to life out of the mist. I guess the mist is because of the satin enamel? Going to try this. Thanks for the lovely art And ideas.🤗

[@catpender9807]

I have been following you a very long time and I rarely just see your posts on IG. I agree

[@janettefowler1825]

Love the clouded wipe….

[@genevievechalifoux1925]

You are amazing Jessica!!!

[@lisajones2992]

I absolutely love this work- it’s like a soft storm! Stay creative & happy. Life’s too short for anything else.

[@m71113]

I've got a cloud pour mix recipe mixed up from Willie B. One part paint one part Vallejo pearl medium and two part floetrol. Will try that.

[@WinterStromArt]

I don’t think it really matters what you use but the consistency should be similar to the other colors. Let me know how it went!

[@bramstayer]

Ok So I've not painted in a month & then last Saturday at 230am my beloved cat Hector died a quite sudden death. He was fine the day before. I just didn't have the $4000.00 to save him. So they charged me $1000.0 to put his pain away then, to sleep. I'm devastated, but all this week, I thought well I've got my paints, tools & all new canvases, and I could just try something new. I also have 3 jars of DecoArt satin enamel white. I finally watch one of my subscriptions I chose you. I'm picky about who i spend time with. None of us getting younger. Thanks for an idea ive had ever since I got blooming in my works. You spend SO much money so you wanna produce. I donated some paintings to the nurse office. The doctor got so many after I made him two.. so cuddle your wee ones. Hectors all the videos Id made in the last month. The art wasn't happening. I put his last day there too. He was only 10. Cheers. I will tey toput simething on here this weekend. I LOVE the PUFFY effects of the SA. Don't You??

[@tamzart7974]

😢🤗💝🤗😢 I am so sorry for your loss sending you Love and Light. Jessica is such an inspiration and a master class artist second to none. ❣

[@bramstayer]

@tamzart7974 you're very kind. I have videos of Hector on my channel. It's really too bad I waited until my daughter got home because then we took him to a 24-hour vet. Now he's gone, and I'm gonna try to make some art. If I can stop having these real swings of pain. I know it's not unique, but it hurts me more than I would expect. Jessica is in a class by herself. Thx again.

[@feyrabass]

Sweet! When I was finding my niche (Dutch and Bloom Swipes as per You) I also tried a couple satin enamel pours. Usually mix paint into enamel, use as base under pour, and use sparingly, as it will take over. I never thought to use it like this. I'll be trying out your new Bloomington today. Thanks for the video! (PS - F Instagram and stick with KZbin!)

[@sandiguinnartescape]

Very cool. I will be trying that today.

[@m71113]

I wondered if I could use paints from two different pms, ie satin enamel with water and floetrol, along with those with bloom pm. You answered my question. Sweet! I've got a lot of floetrol sitting there once I switched over to bloom/your pm.

[@WinterStromArt]

Well, there you go! I have neglected that idea since then. Let me know what you find out if you try it! It’s a lot of fun!

[@odilehelbongo5221]

Mais que c’est beau, que c’est beau! Merci de partager, de nous étonner et de nous inspirer. Vous êtes unique et si talentueuse. 😘💝

[@cathyjantzen6069]

So cool!

[@karineVallee]

Good idea i love it

[@lydiadevries8408]

That one is so pretty

[@BeckDamArt]

Very nice, Jess! I have tried satin enamels, but only once, and it was a fail! But I'm going to have to try again cause yours looked great!!!

[@feralart22]

You are so innovative and creative...I just wish I could tolerate house paint...LOL! I love the minimalistic second swipe! Gorgeous and cloudy and I'd hang it on my wall! And that dried result is so awesome...What good work!

[@Ken.at.icon.art.canberra]

Your work is a constant inspiration to me, and my partner. This is another exciting example, thanks for sharing!🎉 Rock on!

[@renaemoore6747]

You go girl! So glad we were able to meet at FAE, you’re darling, and I enjoyed so much learning from you. 💓 Do you cover your spinner? I got mine home with me on the airplane!

[@maryellenrichards391]

I haven’t watched last weeks video that you showed the dry piece of, but I will go back and watch it. That piece is absolutely stunning.

[@WillieBStudios]

What!!?;???? Omg I'm getting ready to do clouded swipes lololol ! And some more Clouded blooms ! I just saw your video pop up and I was like ..hold up!!! Yeah Instagram I'm kinda hating lately as well ... I feel like when I work hard and post...nothing gets views ....but if I just slap something together ..it gets views. 🤦‍♀️ Anywho...back to watching you!

[@CozzyKorner]

I’m just about to try my first cloud pour 😊

[@marliess.]

Außerdem finde ich es total in Ordnung, dass du ne Insta-Pause machst ! Social Media kann ein Zeiträuber sein 🤷‍♀️

[@lydiadevries8408]

Awesome

[@g.e.2900]

Hi Jessica, I love your art, and the denim color is gorgeous! What a fabulous idea to use satin enamel to swipe with! You rock girlfriend!

[@PrincessJazmina]

They are absolutely beautiful!!

[@lindalarrymore2591]

Wow Jessica, never thought of this. I love your art and I so impressed that you are working with wood and make frames. I love painting and woodworking too. Other than in Vegas, are you going on Shows?

[@jacquelinestephenson2101]

Like OH WOW

[@markandroes537]

Awesome…don’t go away or quit

[@sandrabarrett-hoomani4822]

The eyes at 13:33!

[@jankowaluk5737]

did u say 'da bomb' ? it dried lovelyish and i love 2day's effort😊 getting 2 feel/like the funkiness of ur style 'til next time ❤

[@WinterStromArt]

I guess, I did say that... 🤓

[@erwe99]

Mir gefällt bei Deinen Bildern vor allem, dass sie minimalistisch sind. Nur ein paar Farben und die schreien einem auch nicht an. Weniger ist wirklich mehr (hattest ja mal an Deiner Pinwand 😉)

[@lydiadevries8408]

Ah nice satin enamel I have not yet tried

[@nancykanyuk5369]

Your base coat is straight house paint?

[@goldenfluidart]

Ooh that gives a really interesting effect!! Glad I stopped to watch 😊

[@jobo8819]

Yeah Instagram has lost it's mojo it seems. And I hear Tik Tok has it' issues to with its security thing being CCP owned. YT shorts seem to be going gang busters thou. Not sure if you get monetised for those however. Love your work, you are so creative.

[@nancykanyuk5369]

What is black cell juice?

[@julianapeyravy2432]

Tada!!!

[@7fossilfiend]

You're not being pouty. I have not reached this realization quite yet but I do know IG has NOT been profitable for me (everyone swore it was the way to go...) either!!

[@g.e.2900]

Hey Jessica, I sent you a message on your website about the painting you did last week.💙🩵💙
