How the amount of the pillow paint affects your composition and how to fix it. swipe spin art

More stripes today with some changes. I changed my pouring medium for the lines I'm adding. All I do is leave out the varnish so my paints get heavier and denser. I want the paint to sink so it creates more distinct lines. Let's see how that went!
Also we're finding out how important the amount of pillow is for your composition.

My Pouringmedium (for the swipe paints, which I haven't actually used in this video...):
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)
The magic juice/Cell activator is mixed with australian floetrol. (1:1)
The colors:
CA: Amsterdam oxide black and deep gold mixed with bright gold
mixed with Behr 8300 untinted house paint
(to the consistency you want it to be)
golden fluid - naphtol medium red, carbon black

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.

GREAT JOB JESSICA !!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THE BOLDNESS OF THE DEEP RED , AND ALL THE OTHER GREAT COLORS THAT BROUGHT OUT THAT RED .

Just discovered your channel. Love your Art. Your videos are so informative I’m slowly working my way through them and trying to master the art of ‘swiping’. I live in the UK and not many of the products you use are available here such as . Behr, Gliddens, Minwax, Aussie, American Floetrol. I imported 4 galls of Aussie Floetrol and a few tins of Minwax so I’m good with that for now. Just found a single UK outlet for JoSonja varnish so will be ordering some. I’m still looking for an alternate product for the pillow as Semi-Gloss isn’t an option.

[@WinterStromArt]

Hi Lottie and welcome! I'm not familiar with products of the UK but I heard that Valspar Express Coat silk in pure brilliant white might be an option as your pillow. It's a dark bucket with a green label. Sorry I can't help more

I’m not sure what you mean with blooming gel. Did you mean boom gel? This is just a paint I use and does enhance the cells but it’s not responsible for them.

[@greerswearingen4433]

Can you share why you use house paint as your pillow base vs acrylic art paint? Just curious! Thanks

[@WinterStromArt]

Hey! I use house paint as my base basically as a vehicle for my composition. It’s based on the bloom recipe that @sheleeart came up with. The house paint is thick and stretchy perfect for expanding your composition with tilting and spinning. With most of other paint or paint mixes your paints on top would just sink through it but I want it on top. I hope, I’m making sense here… I could go more into it but it might be easier if you watched my recipe tutorial. That might answer your question better…

[@brigitteweber3352]

Wunderschöne Kreation. Easier to get the ingredients in the US, Canada and Australia. Germany is still far behind☹️. Schönes Wochenende

Dankeschön! Ja das stimmt leider. Ich frage mich, warum das australische floetrol nicht mehr eingeführt werden darf. Ich wünschte, ich wüsste über deutsche Zutaten Bescheid...

[@mattieyoung1644]

I love your work, what is a cell activator?

Hi Mattie, my method came from the sheleeart bloom technique. the basics are consistency based (check my recipe tutorial for more information) you layer from thick to thin. the thinnest layer on top is called the cell activator. its paints mixed with australian floetrol
