My Blooming Journey Continues. Acrylic Pour Painting, Flow Art, Fluid Art Technique,

You are the first person to explain this, that actually made sense to me. LOVE it!

[@COZCreationsArt]

That makes me happy Honi

[@jeaniesutton5563]

I’m so glad you are part of my acrylic pour life. That gold gave me chills. 😊

[@COZCreationsArt]

Jeanie you make me smile. Thank you

[@dawnkaroub7153]

I have to agree with everyone else this Bloom is breathtaking! But it is you! Your eye has you see the litte something extras that could be added to make it spectacular where others may have left it as is. Thank you for teaching and taking me on your journey. God Bless.❤

Lovely Cathleen! If you want a black base but only have white housepaint you can cheat and lay down a big ole puddle of black first as your first color, then go from there. I think Shelee has some vids or reels showing this, plus it’s a good hack to use up leftover paint that’s no longer pure white. I add a little bit of water to my PM mix-I used to use straight JoSonja but felt it dried out my paint. Happy blooming doll!!!

[@COZCreationsArt]

Karen thank you. Wishing you Joe and Chloe a wonderful Holiday Season

You did a great job on this painting, Cathleen! Great composition and colors. Big hugs. 🎶💞🎶

[@COZCreationsArt]

Thank you again Jan

[@michellemyers8439]

I would say your experiment was a success. The colors are just glorious and you got your bloom effect. If both blooms had been blown out before "deconstructing " I (a person who has NEVER done a successful bloom 😂) think would have bumped it up to a whole other level of beautiful. Great teaching video...great outcome. Thanks!

[@COZCreationsArt]

Still watching but wanted to come in really quick… I’m still a blooming amateur and practicing like crazy BUT…I’ve been going to Sherwin Williams and buying the little jugs of “Color To Go” tinted in any color for FREE as my pillow paint! Lisa Marvin taught me this and it’s such a great paint to use for your pillow. At my Sherwin Williams, I can get it sometimes for under $8.00 a jug! Hope this helps and happy blooming. Going back to see what beautiful creation you bloom!! 🤗

Really stunning Cathleen! When I was watching my husband came by and said, " that is beautiful! I really like that!" He said in a way that he wants me to paint one like it. I would love to, but I don't have room...yet. I have space for my pearl cell paint and ingredients and then my regular pour painting ingredients...and I've literally painted myself into a corner😏. So, for now I'll just try to learn as much as possible. Thanks for clear instructions...I need it!😁 Merry Christmas Cathleen 🎄☃️🎄☃️🎄

Absolutely gorgeous!! Love your colours. Now I have to get some lakeside!! In Canada, we use Sherwinn Williams color to go and they will tint your pillow paint for you. But I love your idea way better because you could make all kinds of colours with one can and not have many different cans of different colours. Takes up way less room!

[@cindylu3037]

Wowza that’s stunning. I’m a bloomer.. love that technique. One small container of pigment can be added to 1 gallon of paint and be bright n shimmery. I mix mine in 2 oz containers and only use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. A little goes a long way. I also buy oops paint at Home Depot. If it’s too thick I thin it with polycrylic. If it’s too thin I use a scoop of my Behr 8300. Walmart’s Color Place eggshell or satin also work as pillow paint n the sell many colors. I haven’t tried Sherwin Williams but hear it’s a great one too. Good luck on your blooming journey!! I can’t wait to see what you create!😊🧡

[@lindalambert3077]

A fantastic bloom stunning does untinted mean it’s no colour transparent?

[@COZCreationsArt]

Linda when you buy house paint at Home Depot or Lowes, most is untinted. Then you show them the color swatch that you want and they mix it up for you. You don’t want then to add any tint to the paint. You add the tint when your mixing. The Behr 8300 from Home Depot works well because it has no titanium white in it and the consistency is perfect for blooms. Make sense?

[@lindalambert3077]

@@COZCreationsArt I’m in the U.K. so we don’t have that paint only wall and ceiling which is white or all different colours. If I use my White House paint in my paints it would pale all the colours ?.

[@neophytosjuliana]

Hi Cathleen I had been trying this blow technique without using house paint and I had destroyed several very large and twin canvasses. Still trying to figure out why we cannot do this type of pouring with normal paints???!!!!!

[@COZCreationsArt]

Well the recipe for the PM is so important. There is something about the house paint that holds the shape of the blown paints and allows you to stretch them. I am. Sure if ya keep at it that you will find something that works

[@g.e.2900]

Cathleen that's stunning! I have a couple of questions for you. How do you know when you've stretched it out enough, is it too get the excess paint off or are you after composition? I know you're not a shiny girl so when it's dry what will you use to finish it, varnish, or resin? All the blooms I've seen have a resin coat on them. I ask because I love your style and well, I'm just curious! I think you're a COZMIC BLOOMIN GIRL ❣️😅 (say that 3 times) Looks to me like you're an expert and don't need any practice COZ you nailed it! Hugs my friend! Happy New Year Cathleen. I love you!
