Welcome! Thank you for being here. If you're new, please consider subscribing! I sincerely apologize to those who depend on close caption to enjoy video content as I am unable to add it to this video. I am not sure why sometimes KZbin rejects the option but I always try. I will reach out to them to find out why it always has to be such a struggle. I do not have extra time to manually add them, if I did I certainly would but it would add so much extra work and time that it wouldn't be worth it to upload any videos with voice. Let's see if we can get KZbin to do better!
I found this color palette on Pinterest, it just showed up in my feed and I loved the colors but the chosen pantone colors aren't necessarily right for a bloom. I found that out really quick! They probably could have worked eventually but, after several attempts and substitutions, I decided it was best to select my own colors visually, colors that I knew would play well together, instead of struggling with what I was given. Break all the "rules"! I decided that I wanted a translucent pillow so it wouldn't interfere with my color intensity and, since I was going translucent, why not go with a glass surface?! Flat glass can be a challenging surface to work with so I highly recommend covering your finished piece with a cardboard box until it is completely dry so the layers will all dry at the same time. I walked away, distracted by life, and forgot this rule. You will see at the end the tragedy that ensued.
My translucent pillow is 16oz of Behr eggshell untinted base C to 4oz Flood Floetrol and 2oz matte gel medium(any brand is fine). This mixture yields 22oz of fairly clear pillow that dries to a satin finish which makes it perfect for wood or glass surfaces that you want to see through.
My bloom colors are all mixed with Behr 8300, the original, and Josonja Gloss Varnish. Pigments are dispersed well in a small amount of Josonja first then 8300 is added and Josonja to thin. The colors I used for this swipe are as follows:
Golden Fluid quinacradone nickel azo gold(discontinued)
Amsterdam pyrole red, ultra marine violet(with carmine and dioxine purple), ultra marine blue, caput mortuum violet(with tlp nightfall and grenache), azo lemon yellow(with ultramarine blue and reflex green). The custom colors start with the primary color choice and I add a blueberry size drop of the secondary colors. Pigments are as follows: TLP Horizon, custom Pearlx red russet with polycolor(stonecoat) pearl violet and TLP nightfall.
My cell activator is Amsterdam primary yellow, a tiny bloop of pyrole red and a blueberry size bloop of copper mixed with Australian floetrol 1 to 3.
The 10" glass trivet came from Dollar Tree!
