PEARL. SWIPE. SPIN! Fluid Art Tutorial

[@MaddyT54321]

Hi Sarah I really love your work and this piece of artwork is gorgeous. As a newbie to this style... could you please, when you have time, pop on here the most current links to your Pearl base coat and puddle pour recipes 🙏 I've been watching your videos and I may sound a bit daft but I am getting muddled. I love the effects in this piece 😊 thank you so much 💗

[@SaraTaylor]

Great suggestion! It’s an effect achieved by using a very thin basecoat with satin enamel in it. I have a really great paint Mixing video that might help answer some questions. Pearl base coat recipe; kzbin.info/www/bejne/q56lcqN3aq95ebc This video is great because it shows how a lot of the effects appear in real time and I talked through it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ-Zoqlpq6yLq80

Fantastic!! Great color combination. Loved watching all the cells pop with the black. Thank you so much for sharing.

I have tingles up my spine and tears in my eyes. There is so much richness in life through colour , you do know how to encapsulate and transcend a piece into life. This is GORGEOUS!!! ❣😂😂😂❣ Thank you Sara for sharing your awesomeness. The gift of love is the greatest gift one can give and your art is just that through you. Created with love for all things of this earth (Gaia) and this magnificent universe we share. Namaste 🙏🕉 Love and Light to All 🕉❤

[@teraperry1008]

This one is very different from your normal process of pearl painting. It's very dramatic and bold! You could not pass this painting without stopping to admire and stare at it for a while. I'm curious to know how you feel about this style you have created. I think it's a great addition to your carefully curated portfolio... if you will. I know that there will be plenty of people who will see this and will commission you to create one for them. I love the flow of colors and where you pulled out the black puddle paint. I often think of your comment on painting and seeing where it might be "stuck." It helps me to move the paint where it's just not quite "there" yet😁. It's bold and beautiful, Sara!😊✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[@SaraTaylor]

Thank you, Tera, it’s not often somebody asked me how I feel about it… 😁 When you ask that question it really got me thinking. Honestly when this painting was complete, I felt a sense of completion and satisfaction with this part of the journey. Ultimately, this is what I was going for with this concept! It’s funny when that happens, the question is, will I visit it again or just move on.😂💕

Thanks Nate 🙏❤️

[@Candyliz2003]

Sitting on a stool mixing paint til my butt goes numb. Waiting for the paint to calm -- for the bubbles to release -- I actually get butterflies in my tummy as I get everything ready! Planning and preparing for a painting is my "new love" -- every time!

[@SaraTaylor]

That’s amazing! I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying every part of the process.💕

[@Candyliz2003]

@@SaraTaylor it took me 50 years to finally get my studio and the time to do this! Could I please ask a question? How do you avoid the canvas sag when you start pouring? I pre-spray and let the canvas dry. I've stuffed the back with cardboard (hate doing that). Is it the quality of the canvas/ frame?

[@candacequalabirch9187]

LOVE this one!! Bravo!

Thank you Lori 💕

[@coloringmyworld10]

I really appreciate how you have the sense in how much to 'fuss' with a painting and when to leave it alone. I haven't learned that yet and usually keep fussing with it until I ruin it and scrape off the paint. Expressing art is not just sensing what colors, direction, and style to use. It is equally important to know when it is done. I'm not sure I will ever get that part.

[@SaraTaylor]

I always say to try to follow your instinct, when it feels like you’re moving backwards instead of forwards it’s usually time to stop.💕

[@cathiewhitney-allen2578]

How do you get such beautiful cells? I've used thin paints, thicker paints. I've used thicker black on thinner and thicker colours and the opposite. I'm very jealous of those beautiful cells.

[@ColettePosé]

Magnifique autant dans les couleurs que le dessin ❤

[@SaraTaylor]

Thank you 🙏

[@margaretep.]

Genial!🧡💛💚💙💜

[@laurieransom2105]

Very interesting, let me see if I got this right. It’s like a reverse bloom or swipe. Instead of using the basic mixture your using base coat with satin enamels and then swiping for the reactions with a puddle paint. Basically the same chemical reactions. Thoughts colors are very vibrant. In the jar they’re much different than when you laid them down together. This is one thing that kept me from doing these techniques. I have such a hard time picking a group of colors that go together. But it’s always the same, you never know until ya try putting them on canvas. Even if it doesn’t look like they compliment, it’s like creating a new color once they re down on canvas.

[@SaraTaylor]

You’re correct on the technique!

[@ElisabethLaffray]

SUPERBE 😍

[@cathiewhitney-allen2578]

Hi Sara, how fo you grt those beautiful cells? I have used thinner and thicker black paints on thinner and thicker colours. I'm very jealous of your beautiful cells.

[@SaraTaylor]

This is basically the Bloom technique using a cell activator. This video may be helpful, I go into more depths, and there is in-depth recipes in the description of the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGXYXod8g9Klhrs

[@leonardcain]

Wowzers! Amazing how many cells you’re initially getting just dragging that deep bl/ gr. base color along the first “S” form! Think that’s basically the satin enamels doing that? Txz jeanne

[@SaraTaylor]

Good observation! It is the satin enamel base that’s causing that reaction with the black puddle paint.

[@dianekessler8862]

What’s the ratio of art deco enamel to paint. Anything else added? Your pours are so thin and it lets you whip things around easier. I love watching you create but my paint is never that thin. I’ve follow so many recipes. I usually end up putting water in . What do you use to thin paint? Thanks…for everything.🙋‍♀️

[@Whatintheworld259]

Sarah This is gorgeous absolutely gorgeous. Just wondering if it’s not the same as the cell activator for the bloom? What is your mixture share that information thank you

[@SaraTaylor]

It’s actually the same mixture as my puddle paint, just floetrol GAC 800 and Liquitex p.m.

[@Whatintheworld259]

Lovely Sarah can this only be done with house paint as it’s dense

[@SaraTaylor]

I always use house paint for the pillow.

[@cathiewhitney-allen2578]

Hi Sarah, you said there is satin enamel in all your colors. How do you do that without making pastels? The swipe would be grey. Help, I'm confused.

[@cathiewhitney-allen2578]

I might have figured it out. Do you use behr 7300, it's satin enamel?

[@SaraTaylor]

That is correct!

[@goddessrocks12]

Does the black have a cell activator in it?

[@SaraTaylor]

Great question, no, it’s actually not a cell activator! It acts as one though… This is the Pearl technique, so all the colors are the pearl basecoat, and I’m using just a black puddle paint

[@jimfisher5916]

I have a complaint! I followed your instructions and they don't work😂. How are you so good?

[@SaraTaylor]

Oh no, I’m sorry. This is a pretty complex technique that takes a lot of practice and experimentation. I’m hoping to release a comprehensive digital course in the coming months.
