Using 2 pillow paints for a "Scoop and drag" fluid art painting, testing new pigments, sheleeart

Welcome and Hello, artsy friends! At first I apologize about my sound issue in the video. Quiet Voiceover and then my music decided to do whatever it wanted to. But luckily, every time I make a mistake, I learn something…
To the point:
A hidden pillow? Well, basically it's my regular pillow with a layer of paint on top of it. And you have no idea how much depth it adds to my scoop and drags... Just see for yourself!
In the video I talk about new pigments that I'm using. The Firedot pigments. I don't remember what I call the shop but I know I didn't use the right name.
I got them from Pixelpaint design shop
pixelpaintdesigns.bigcartel.com

Athena, the rose gold pigment is a ‘This little piggy’ pigment.

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.

Super gorgeous. Love how this one stretched and filled your board. Love your explanations. Thank you.

[@WinterStromArt]

It’s quite a challenge to make it fill the whole canvas. I had to practice a lot

[@joycedavidson8702]

You are the master at this technique. I absolutely love this piece. Gorgeous. 😍

[@margueritejewett7355]

WOWWWWW. THATS A AMAZING COLOR SCHEME . GORGEOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT . ITS THE BOMB . YOU DID A OUTSTANDING JOB JESSICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WinterStromArt]

You are so kind! Thank you very much!

Beautiful Jessica! ❤

I am so jealous of you and your amazing talent. Great work, want to be like you when I grow up. I enjoy your quirky personality and your use of black. Thanks

[@loudandclassyart6542]

Great job, very beautiful colors and cells and the details that the stretching expose more of, love seeing the process👍👏

[@WinterStromArt]

I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you!

[@margaret7620]

I can understand why this piece sold quickly. It is fascinating. The ghostly illumination from the white pillow when you scoop and drag through the dark overlay is really neat and I can’t wait to try something like this myself.

[@WinterStromArt]

I know! The effects blew me away. It’s tricky sometimes, but nothing some practice can’t fix.

[@bonniebell1098]

I understand why it sold wet. It looked amazing 🎉

I’ve not seen the scoop and drag before now. It’s so cool. I must give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

[@WinterStromArt]

Thank you so much! Maybe you haven’t seen it before because I’m the inventor?! But there are people doing it now too; for example Jodie from „the painted dreamer“.

[@gretchenslagle5011]

Thank you so much, Christine!

[@angelarae]

This is genius--double pillows--I see huge implications for this new idea!

[@WinterStromArt]

Yes, I developed this a little further and now I’m a little better at picking up not too much of the white which makes it look way better, I think. Thank you

[@lydiadevries8408]

thank you for showing, this is awesome

[@shawna4801]

@@WinterStromArt Lady, you're an inspiration! I'd like to ask your advice if you have a moment. Should my pillow paint be thicker/thinner/same as the colors? My blooms keep cracking which is making ME crack.🤔🤨😱

[@WinterStromArt]

@@shawna4801 yes, the principle of this technique is layering different consistencies. the pillow being the thickest followed bu a slightly thinner paint mixed with the pouring medium and a third layer, the cellactivator which is mixed with australian floetrol. The pillow should be thick and hold its shape for a while before it spreads out but thin enough to be able to move.

[@ThePaintedDreamer]

Amazingly awesome my friend! Gosh I just love this! I like to use my Infinity PM same way as the background or extended pillow because it’s nice and thin but I’ve been having good luck recently with tinting my own pillow a cup at a time. Possibilities are endless girl! 🤩🤗💜💜💜

[@WinterStromArt]

They sure are. That’s why I love this technique so much. I might give that a try at one point. Basically tinting your own pillow is like pm without the varnish. Funny, I never thought about that before
