Oh, please, learn from my mistakes! First of all, start small! If you eventually go bigger, make sure you mix up enough paint. That saves you nerves and money!
OK, enough yelling
My Pouringmedium:
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)
My recipe for US Floetrol Cellmix
1part paint Golden titanium white (works best)
1 part glue all
2 parts US Floetrol
a few drops of wood conditioner
acrylic ink as a thinner possible
The paints I used are neon pigments from This little piggy. You can get them at Fuidart.co
blickrylic black (Dickblick.com)
Firedots - pearl black (Discoundcode below)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The spinner I'm using is my own design and creation. Every single workstep is done by my hands and my table saw (operated by me)
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.

That my dear, is a rainbow trout in the highway. The master photo bomber wants to eat it. It’s a success in that we learned so much from you having the confidence to show something that did not totally please you. I wouldn’t scrape it unless I was out of canvas and had a better plan. Personally, I dig it big time. But yeah, my failed attempts (all of them so far) serve me to appreciate even more the artists I follow and admire. It ain’t easy folks!

A dog always adds charm.

[@lynne2945]

I think it’s great. Keep it. Once again thanks for sharing, it’s always a pleasure to watch you paint.

[@CnBArtStudio]

I love the colors you used but your right they dried less vibrant than you would think. I do love love watching you swipe. You have such great technique and I learn so much. Thank you for sharing.

[@teristanaford1575]

A coat of resin will make it totally awesome. Neons are not my thing usually but this is is cool💛💜💙

I really liked both your paintings you have a unique approach to applying the paint and I love all the twists and turns and that you do with with all of it they are really remarkable

[@beverlyfrederick7670]

You make me smile...I love your silliness and your art!

Thank you, Beverly. That made ME smile! (sorry for the late response...)

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you!

[@ItsArtByDonna]

Hell ya! Keep this RU kidding me!!! All that Smokey Lacey celly fluorescent color!!! Get that black light asap I wanna see!!! Beautiful!

[@WinterStromArt]

Thanks Donna! Don't worry, it's still around. Haven't gotten a black light yet...

A different color background might have been better .. but EVERY piece you do is Amazing!!!!

Pop a coat of resin on it and I bet those colors will sing ! loks galactic !

That painting's nice but I will take the dog. I hope you treat her well. She seems to love you.

You make me smile in each video! A pitty that cells did not hold, but it is pretty any way! Thanks for your time and humour!

[@PiecesofTaraArtistry]

Jessica! I just love your videos. You are so unique and I just love your perspective. Your viewpoint is so important in these paintings because you really make us think about perspective and composition. I love all that you do and have no doubt your channel is going to continue to skyrocket! ❤️❤️❤️

[@WinterStromArt]

Oh, Tara, I JUST saw this. Thank you so much. This means a lot, especially coming from you.

[@margueritejewett7355]

AWESOME PIECE . LOVING THE PALETTE THE COMPOSITION TOO. ITS FREAKEN STUNNING

[@KB-el8zm]

It did lose some vibrancy but I think a resin topper will amp the intensity up quite a bit. A lot of times the paintings that I love wet but I'm kind of meh about when dry seem to come alive again once I add a resin coat. Nice work! And smooches to Helga!

[@margaret7620]

I like this very much! (… also like your photo-bomber. LOL)

[@Alysbar]

Love it!! Don't destroy it😁😁

[@WinterStromArt]

Thanks, It's still alive!

[@Alysbar]

@@WinterStromArt Thank goodness! 🙏

[@sandiguinnartescape]

I think it’s awesome.

[@mayaasrawehaydar2169]

I loved both of them the first one looked like an African queen. You are an amazing artist a total inspiration I hope to be able to swipe like you one day

[@WinterStromArt]

That’s sweet, thank you

[@RebekahSue]

It's wonderful - and you can get a black lightbulb at Home Depot next time you get paint. Thank you for the lesson, Jessica.

[@KamillesKind4565]

So yes I found you today you definitely match my drive just a mess of fun. I enjoyed your painting I'm learning everyday and applying it every weekend 💖

[@WinterStromArt]

Yay! Welcome aboard! I’m happy you’re here

[@matthiasmelziarek5890]

Wunderschöne Farben, mich lenken die hellen Grautöne etwas ab (gute Entscheidung, den ersten Versuch zu verwerfen) . . . Aber mit Epoxidharz wird doch alles wieder intensiver

[@lucybloom7600]

Hi Jessica, I love your composition and the colors are awesome. I really like the upper left middle pinks and oranges where you go in real close and show the white netting. I like the cells where they created a different type of cell structure. That was really exciting. I especially love the frenetic and energetic movement as the composition dances across the canvas. I thought it was a great opportunity to show us how a painting consisting of very bright colors, in this case neon, can become absorbed into the black base layer when we least expect it to do that, but that it does happen because it's the nature of expermenting. Again the composition is insane and abstract and I'm drawn to it as one of your most exciting paintings. It would be interesting to keep it and see if it changes anymore or if you can paint on it later in some way or.....gosh you could keep the parts you love the most and cut off parts and make it into a whole new painting, Re-stretch it onto a smaller frame or create something different like maybe a hanging mobile stretched in different ways. Or.... create a wire or wooden frame to make an abstract lamp and stretch the painted canvas around where the light or (a black light) will shine thru the bright colors and cast upon the room. Who knows you might blow your own mind and ours as to what you'll manifest. (It is really a cool painting. I'd ponder it and give it a chance.🎨🐾your doggie likes it and sat in front of it ' to claim it's good!' 💖🤔🎨. Yep I love it!

[@WinterStromArt]

You have great ideas! Thank you

[@Lynn_Clifton]

This has completely inspired me to work with neons sith black base. I've been playing with black base swipes for the last week (ran out of the white I use for my base when my order from Jerry's was back-ordered/canceled) and produced my newest "fav." Now I'm going to go for bigger, bolder with the neons for sure! Also, there are no such things as "rookie mistakes" - there's only growth 💗 I always try to remind myself of this so the things that feel like "mistakes" aren't discouraging. Mistakes are things that aren't "supposed to" happen, growth is the thing that we should always be reaching for! You are an amazing artist and most likely that's because of growth 😍

[@WinterStromArt]

I’m absolutely on your side. The process is the goal!

[@cheryl3895]

Beautiful!

[@FloatingDreamsStudio]

LOVE IT GIRL! 💙💕💜

[@judyfrank2380]

Love you ... Love your work. Thank you soooooo much.

[@WinterStromArt]

Awwww, thank you, Judy! ❤️

[@mywifetheartist]

Gorgeous.

[@andromedamoon3915]

Actually I love it!!! I think a coat of resin or gloss varnish would set it off even more.

[@loudandclassyart6542]

I like the first one it was cool and the background brought something different but the 2nd one was amazing blew me away!! Awesome job 👍👏🤗

[@EleniShiaArt]

Its really pretty 👍

[@gratefulcreations]

It’s a keeper girl!!! You rocked this one!! Thanks so much for sharing

[@OAKbyBetina]

I love it but not the white dots. Can't get use to them yet. Maybe if you modify the black pm, it might not eat up the top colors. 🤔

[@vioricapertescu7410]

Wow! Fantastic! Congrats!❤

[@WillieBStudios]

Girl....I'm loving this ...that second piece 😍😍😍....you and bright colors....make sense! Funny enough you make me want to buy all the neons...can you believe I dont ave any of them. Lol And 8 can see what you're saying about it dries ..but gosh the composition is so gorgeous...and I absolutely think it's worth saving!

[@NikiDArt]

It is drop dead gorgeous! ❤️💜🧡💛 That composition is perfect! I actually liked the white dots too! I filmed a meteor effect swipe a couple of days ago and purposely flicked white on to get that same effect.

[@Lynn_Clifton]

You know that moment when you're watching a pour video and say something out loud half to yourself and half to whoever can hear you? My out loud comment in this video was "Man I REALLY want to learn the scoop and drag, I can't believe how cool that looks. Niki D does some incredible scoop and drags, too!" And here you are in the comments. 😍😍😍

[@Heidi.P.L-PourLove]

I love them both 😍

[@leehill7598]

Very nice. Lovely😊

[@FluidNationArt]

I love it but you are right too many white spec. They drive me nuts when it happens to me! I like the “f word” too I busted out laughing! Love your videos immensely!!

[@WinterStromArt]

thank you so much! I'm working on incorporating bubbles on purpose. We'll see how that'll work out!

[@FloatingDreamsStudio]

Fantastic! Love the colours! ❤️🇨🇦

[@FloatingDreamsStudio]

What is your black opaque?

[@WinterStromArt]

It is Golden mars black, if I remember correctly. Nowadays I use Blickrylic, it's cheaper and I need a lot of it....

[@JBpourart]

This, however, is far from the colors you use. But it suits your character - warm, funny, happy ... Good decision, for the second attempt. Wonderful final result.💜💜💜

[@Grammyof3chicks]

I love watching you work…I learn so much from you! I’m wondering if it would work if you would use a black pillow?

[@WinterStromArt]

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if an in tire black pillow would swallow the colors even more. But it’s probably worth a try

[@pamh9674]

Love the composition! I haven’t figured out how to keep black pillow from “eating” my colors away either except for when I use a matte soft body-that seems to hold up.

[@WinterStromArt]

Oh, interesting…which brand is that?

[@pamh9674]

@@WinterStromArt Liquitex Softbody in the little bottles

[@terilechner]

Jessica that is amazing! Do you think it would help to mix the neon Piggies in Neon Liquitex soft body or regular Bodie paints? I really love the final piece!👍🏼🥰👋🐷🐽🐖😎

[@WinterStromArt]

Hi Teri! I think that's a good idea. I might also swich completely to tubes, it's just less hassle with the mixing...

[@terilechner]

@@WinterStromArt so true! I know you can disperse the neons in 98% alcohol or in High Gloss Varnish!!

[@efluidartstudiopriscillab]

A series of good lessons and a great experiment. Why don't you use what you have and keep portions and add new sections over the top in places? Theres still a lot to love in what you have already. That's an experiment I myself am trying to get more nerve to do now.P.S. I probably would have kept the first one .I find the odder a piece often the more outstanding

[@WinterStromArt]

You’re right, there’s so much you can do after the pour. The possibilities are endless

[@efluidartstudiopriscillab]

@@WinterStromArt Thats funny...my second published book is called Unlimited Possibilities. lol

[@WinterStromArt]

Oh, you’re a Writer? What kind of books do you write?

[@WinterStromArt]

I just looked you up. How fun! Congratulations

[@efluidartstudiopriscillab]

@@WinterStromArt I'm surprised you weren't aware of me .Ive become utterly addicted to using me spinner. So I've been sending people your way for spinners. My carpenter doesn't want to make them.

[@carolmatlock7035]

I have the same thing happen to me as you with this piece. It's like the top coat lines dissappear as it dried. Yours is still a nice piece, unlike mine. Have you figured out what was the cause. Hopefully you will see this comment.

[@WinterStromArt]

Hi carol, I’m assuming my base paint was a little thin. It’s easier for the top layers to just sink through while drying.

[@carolmatlock7035]

@@WinterStromArt that sounds like that may have been the problem as I added flow trol to the pillow because I had been getting some small cracks. Won't do that again. Thanks

[@marjbarnes131]

The first was nice but the background did seem to distract me from the rest of the composition. The second was stuuning.
