Painting With Mica Powders? ✨ How To Use Them In Acrylic Pouring 🧡💛💜 Tropical SheleeArt Bloom!

[@lauriewilson4741]

There’s so much to like about this painting. The yellow is an eye catcher, it IS the happiest color 😊. The middle swirl is perfect and of course the cells

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you! Yeah I love this one 😁

[@lauriewilson4741]

@@AnnaBlountArt it’s flipping gorgeous. You’re a wonderful painter

[@AnnaBlountArt]

@@lauriewilson4741 Aw thank you! 😊

[@robinruby3156]

Lovely! I think I’m now ready to purchase some of these powders for my next project.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Fun! Good luck!

[@carolstedman6631]

Loved watching this. I’m very insecure about mixing paint colors and embellishing. But I love this form of art and look forward to your videos!

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thanks! Yeah any time I have a pretty design I get scared that I’ll mess it up by embellishing!

[@RaindropArtbyNikkiRainey]

This is beautiful, Anna! The colors worked SO well together and I love the lacing! Great job!! :)

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thanks Nikki!

[@OAKbyBetina]

Great colors and beautiful bloom.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thanks so much!

[@Terisemptycanvas]

I just got some! Thank you for having this up!

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Sure thing! Enjoy!

[@Terisemptycanvas]

@@AnnaBlountArt just curious. Have you ever tried using masking fluid under paints and coming back in after drying to hand paint the covered space?

[@AnnaBlountArt]

@@Terisemptycanvas I don’t think I’ve put the masking fluid on a bare canvas before. If I’m going to hand paint, I usually do it right on top of the pour!

Hi, this is beautiful. I just bought the set of 10 chameleon pigments and thought I'd watch a few videos before I use them. I mainly use my pigments in paint pours. Tried the bloom technique a few times and I will need more practice for sure. I hope the chameleons work for that!

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you! Yes, this video shows chameleon powders in a bloom pour. I have another video that shows how to mix them for regular acrylic pours by adding them to gloss gel first!

[@joeycasey2323]

@@AnnaBlountArt Oh great, heading there now. That's how I do my other pigments too.

[@paulagoynes]

Really loved your color choices! Reminds me of a hibiscus 🌺.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you! Yeah I loved those colors together.

[@millyfluidart7482]

Thanks for this tutorial, have you tried Behr 8300 high gloss untainted enamel is so transparent your micas and acrylics paint look exactly like the tube or mica color, it’s really the most transparent I have tried

[@AnnaBlountArt]

I haven’t yet…couldn’t get that one when I first tried blooms. But I literally bought a can of it yesterday!

[@marthaalvarez214]

Great video. Loved your color choices. I finish my paintings with resin as I like the way it looks . The only down side is it is so expensive.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you! Yeah I haven’t used resin much but it does make a very unique look.

[@loricleary4473]

Beautiful Anna 💕

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you!

[@annerenold5753]

What size was this please. It is beautiful. I am learning to use mica powders and your video was so helpful.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

The canvas? 10x10”

[@AnnaBlountArt]

And I’m glad it was helpful! I have another video that shows how to mix them for a more “normal” mixture, rather than a bloom pour.

[@Jesjosif]

Thank you for sharing! It is hard to see the shimmer effect when it is dry, I think if you used a flash or ring light we would be able to see it better! I really appreciate this video as I’m gathering lots of tips and info regarding the use of mica powders. Can you see the colour shift I wonder?

[@AnnaBlountArt]

I’m glad it was helpful! The last few shots at the end of the video show the shimmer and the color shift pretty well I think. Definitely flashier in person and hard to catch on camera.

[@paulohaver7435]

You mention in many of your videos your "Bloom Mixture". I am new to this, but what exactly is your "Bloom Mixture"?

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Yes! The bloom pouring medium is different than any other pouring medium. Here’s how I mix mine! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmWxfKmlfcuZrc0

Referring to house paint; is this interior or exterior? Relating to pillow paint.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Interior latex house paint!

[@robinruby3156]

Thanks!

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank YOU!

[@lauriewilson4741]

Anna, do you have one of those tiny blowers? Looks like a leaf blower

[@AnnaBlountArt]

No I don’t have one of the mini blowers BUT I just got a mini hair dryer!

[@lauriewilson4741]

@@AnnaBlountArt it’s hard to find one that shoots cool air w/o holding down the “cool shot” button. I bought one off Amazon that advertised the cool wd stay on but nope. Maybe do a vid with your new blower so we know if u like 👍

[@lauriewilson4741]

I think it’s Carols Art room that does modifications that I think are cool. If you haven’t watched her, go ck out.

[@paulagoynes]

Good morning!

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Hi!

[@TheCof6656]

my acrylics just eat my mica T_T you can't see it at all

[@AnnaBlountArt]

That’s too bad! Are you mixing your powders straight into your paint? Or do you mean that the mixed mica gets swallowed up in the actual painting?

[@TripleG69]

Hi, love your work. You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing. ps.Just wondering if you have seen this lady and how she embellish? kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4rJZqaDoJyDndE

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thanks so much! No I haven’t seen her before, but those are some beautiful embellishments!
