Wow that is GORGEOUS the colors are amazing ❤

[@colleenmclachlan5503]

Excellent result, I absolutely love them. That pillow colour is really unique. You do such a great job of explaining and inspiring Lisa!

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw thank you!

[@klartistic]

Absolutely stunning Lisa. That base colour was beautiful 😘🇦🇺

[@Carole_Williamson]

Would love to see your Paynes Grey CA compared to these blacks……..and whatever other dark CA’s you use. This is great, thank you again Lisa. And your Blue Heron sort of looks like a dark periwinkle. When I was itty bitty, my bedroom was periwinkle. And I still love the color, I’m 2 weeks shy of 62…………..yes, on Christmas Eve.

[@baileybrowndawg]

Beautiful colors!

[@stacylampack4443]

Luda thirst r so so pretty! Love the base color so much 🥰

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@deborahwispinski3253]

Absolutely beautiful. I love the 3 pieces together. I think the black cell activator gives a great contrast to the softer blues etc. Appreciate the many tidbits of information you share and I very rarely fast forward through any of your videos as I don’t want to miss anything. 🤗

[@lisamarvinart]

Wow! That’s a compliment 😂

[@jeannineeverson1070]

I’m Australian, I live in Australia, I have floetrol readily available. So why every time I mix Amsterdam and flo 4 to 1 I get the consistency of water. Not creamy at all . I see you all mix and I never get that consistency . So I thicken it more. So confusing. 🤔

[@dianedompierre4488]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. OMG! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@robynfryman4549]

Love the colors! Beautiful!! Thank you for doing this experiment. I also find black cell activator finicky. I have tried several brands of black paint. But I have not broken down and bought the Australian Flotrol yet.

[@lisamarvinart]

Oo so worth it :)

[@marjbarnes131]

Thanks very informative. All came out beautiful.

Thank you! Me too!

[@RaeleneRyan]

Absolutely Twisted Art JoSonja works as a Activater

[@joeycasey2323]

When I was in Shelee's class at pourcone, she had a black cell activator. I don't know which one she used but when I was finished blowing it out and it dried with really deep lines of the black. More so than her white. Does that mean I didn't blow it out enough or was the black thicker that the white?

[@CarolePenhaleKing]

They are gorgeous, love the colours. Love oxide and lamp black. I use black mostly. I find white finicky. What brand Payne’s grey do you use?

[@lisamarvinart]

Amsterdam :)

[@josiecapps2555]

#1 spectacular 🌟 #2 outstanding ⚡️ #3 awesome ✨

[@lisamarvinart]

😂 thank you!

[@karenjeffrey7722]

Please tell me if you used silicone in the black activator

[@saraclark4944]

Love the colors! Beautiful triptych for sure! I have never used lamp black (pretty sure that’s what you said lol) I have always used oxide black. I completely agree black is finicky when used as a cell activator, I have much better luck when I mix it at a 3:1 ratio. You mentioned the lamp black seemed thicker so maybe the oxide is best at a 3:1 ratio 🤷‍♀️ anyway gorgeous work as usual!👍👍

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you! Yes so finicky! So if you want to thin it, the ratio would be more like 5:1, 3:1 would make it thicker :)

[@saraclark4944]

@@lisamarvinart right, that’s what I am saying I have better luck when it’s thicker so I mix it at 3:1 ratio. You had said the lamp black seemed thicker and I think it produced better results in your experiment so perhaps if people are seeing finicky results with the oxide they could see if a thicker ratio helps. 😂 it’s been a long day not sure this comment makes anymore sense then my first one.

[@death057]

So have you seen Golden's interference paints? Any of the interference pigments are transparent they're absolutely made to go over darker colors if you were to adjust used the interference colors mixed with something like a acrylic medium or if you want it thicker a gel medium after dispersing them with a little Joe Sonia you would have something very similar to the golden interference paints the thicker or thinner the medium would determine whether it was the thicker body or thinner body paint. In other words interference paints are made to be a glaze and with a black canvas I have noticed that the interference paint does not like to move as much on black gesso I like it dries too quick and it really shows the brush Strokes and it doesn't matter if it's a mixed piggy or golden interference which I spend using since I stole them from my mom in the early 90s LOL. It's going to sound strange but try using a makeup brush like something that's made to put on powder foundation something that's supposed to help blend and buff you can actually use that to get some beautiful like glowing Halos I use it to show light glowing around a lamp in night scenes and also try prepping the black canvas with a little bit of acrylic medium over the gesso there's something about black gesso it makes interference paints act differently. I have been playing around with pigments almost as long as golden interference paint and up until this past January I had never done paint pouring I did a bunch of black and white spiral paintings that I use the interference so at one angle the painting will be black and white and at a different angle the interference paint gives it colors but trying to mix interference with a tube paint will most likely take away from the interference the paint you use could surround the pigment particles unfortunately the best way to get the interference is to use it over the color you wanted on which looks amazing for highlights sparkles dewdrops and with a makeup brush you can actually do a really cool blend on a black canvas with no brush Strokes because that's what makeup brushes are for

[@pouringwithsonja1231]

Love the triptych 💗

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@Pashanny824]

Love this.❤

[@terilechner]

Jodie from The Painted Dreamer has used Jo Sonja Black Umber and even Mattise before. I've tried the M Graham and love it!

[@lisamarvinart]

Yup those work too!

[@bstanevich]

Gorgeous blooms, but I wish you’d done a side by side of the 2different cell activator blooms, so we could compare them. I can’t tell you which one I prefer.

[@julieharris6990]

This is absolutely stunning!! I am so impressed by your work, im a new subscriber as well as just learning this technique.

[@lisamarvinart]

Aw thank you!

[@elementofnature3695]

Perfectly ✔ done ✔!

[@jessrenin]

I've been following your bloom recipe for the blooms with either tricorn black or Glidden essentials eggshell... I love the idea of using different colors though is there a rule of thumb or can I kind of just get any old color house paint as a pillow?

[@lisamarvinart]

Sherwin Williams in any colour always works! Might have to then the lighter ones

[@jessrenin]

Thank you❤❤

[@susanbrocksmith4255]

Love it!

[@margaritaphobe]

Another winner Lisa. All three are stunning. I loved the comet mixed with the paynes. Absolutely gorgeous. Have you had your heating fixed? Are the truck drivers still on strike?

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you! Heat is fixed!! Truck drivers still striking 😂

[@margaritaphobe]

@@lisamarvinart Hooray! Thank God, you finally have heating back. Love to you and family ♥️💐💐💐

Beautiful ring 💍 s

[@kimkelly6823]

Love this.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@terilechner]

Lisa, they all turned out amazing. Do you think the cells were tighter with Lamp Black because it was thicker? I saw on my monitor that the Lamp Black is softer in color than the Oxide Black? Did you see that also? I love that color from Benjamin Moore, I haven't gotten any of their paints yet! Thank you for doing the side by side on the Amsterdam paints. Would you consider doing it again with the Matisse Black and the M Graham? Would be cool to see dried results of all of them to compare!👏🥰👍🏼❤️

[@lisamarvinart]

Yes I think so. Maybe oxide would be better 3:1 but it already looked so aggressive 😂 I can definitely do another comparison!

[@Skippy66]

Beautiful 💖

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@mikezeelenyou]

Just wow 😍

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@carolhalpin481]

Hi Lisa! I love this and wanted to ask you a question since you mix many of your own colors. Have you ever mixed a paynes grey? In a pinch, when you don't have it on hand....it would be good to have some type of recipe. Thanks!

[@lisamarvinart]

Oh good one! I will do a mixing video!

[@Littlewings1211]

Apologies if you answer this further on in the video but can you please explain what the difference is between all of the different black shades?

[@lillianruiz464]

They all three came out very nice. They are beautiful. The colors altogether came out very nicely. But I do think that the lamb made more define cells.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you!

[@joyceblackburn6431]

My goodness !! This is so gorgeous!! Hope I can make one as pretty as yours one day !!😊😌 Question: why do you use these wooden boards instead of plain canvases?? Do you use them for something else than hanging them on a wall ? TIA and have a nice sunday !

[@lisamarvinart]

I use wood for the hard surface :)

[@terilechner]

Which black did you find was darker?

[@dianedompierre4488]

Hi Lisa, this is absolutely stunning! Is the base paint you are using, is regular paint?

[@lisamarvinart]

It’s Benjamin Moore :)

[@lynne2945]

All 3 are beautiful, love your vines so much. Thanks for doing this experiment as I have been using Atelier Mars Black and really don’t like it as it seems to take over too much. Just about to order some Amsterdam paints so I will definitely go for the Lamp Black.

[@lisamarvinart]

Thank you! Hope you find a good one!

[@MsLBMS7258]

Gorgeous color combo! Yep, I’m going to “borrow” those colors. LOL! Question: When mixing Prussian Blue with the interference you say it’s TLP sequins, but when layering the paints you say it’s TLP comet. I’m pretty sure the label said sequins but not certain. Do you know which one you used? Thanks so much!

[@FloatingDreamsStudio]

It was sequins 😊

[@lisamarvinart]

It was sequins! Sorry 😂 they are both similar and I love them both 😂
