It's all about the CELL ACTIVATOR | SheleeArt | Crazy Colors

CELL ACTIVATOR! Yes it is what helps to make the cells. In this episode we experiment with double cell activator. I tested transparent, semi-transparent, and opaque cell activators under titanium white CA in this video.
Here are 3 tips that can help you with your cell activator.
+ Some brands just don't work as well being cell activators. You really have to experiment if you want to branch out. Amerstam's titanium white and oxide black are my go to. I know its a but cliche because everyone uses it but that's why. I enjoy Master's Touch as well.
+ 3:1 or 4:1 Australian Floetrol to paint is your recipe... honestly there is no need to vary from this much. It works. If your bloom isnt working and you are using this recipe look at your pouring medium and paints first.
+ American Floetrol: If you don't have access to Australian Floetrol, American Floetrol will work but much more finicky. There are a number of recipes out there and I cannot say that any of them work for me consistently every single time. My favorite recipe is 6 parts floetrol to 1 part paint with 4-8 drops of minwax wood conditioner (red canister). With this fresh is best in my opinion. If i let this sit around for a couple days it usually no longer works for me... no idea why though!
+ I would always pay the extra money to use a quality paint brand for my CA because we're blowing and stretching this paint most so we need good binders and flow for amazing lacing and cells.

[@pshaffer727]

Always enjoy your videos, Garrick, gonna need to watch this one again, in the mean time I'm curious about the paint containers that you apply your paints with, are they squeeze bottles? And where do they come from ~ Looks like an easier method to apply the paint to the surface rather than with a stick ~ Now, I'm embarrassed 🥴 to ask but - is it difficult to put the paint into the bottles? Thx, Garrick, love your style

[@GarrickBrownArtStudio]

Aww you are fine. I get my tiny ones from the Dollar Tree. I just put paint from a little cup. It makes less mess and last.

[@susanlevy5136]
