Thanks for sharing Karen! 🤙🤙🤙

[@CheriBomzArt]

Thank u for this! Almost caved & bought Aussie. May try Aussie, if price comes down.

[@debiwade9656]

Thank you!!!!!

[@cynthiasterling7892]

Thanks for showing the U.S. Floretral. ( l’m sure it’s probably the same as Canada) where l live. I heard the Aussie Floretral makes more cells. Yep the Aussie does produce more cells & lacing. I heard it was expensive to order it from Australia. Too bad they couldn’t make the same in Canada/ U.S. Thank You for showing the difference. I watch Gilly Kube in Queensland and she has so many cell’s & beautiful lacing. Thanks again Karen for your trial. ♥️💕

[@darlenebaldwin1398]

💖💖💖 So lovely of you to share...as always! 😊

[@sushigilmour9336]

You are the perfect instructor...clear and easy to understand and funny as well!

[@tammyandersonart]

I'm happy you did this. There are so many people out there that truly believe that the type of floeteol their using is the reason why the bloom isn't working for them but I use nothing except American Floetrol and now you just also proved that its more about the consistency and the manipulation of the paints then anything. Great video Great art💗

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

Thank you Tammy!!

[@slbslbsuzanne]

I love your videos !!! I cannot wait to use the hairdryer. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!! PS you are a delight to watch.

[@marygidzinski8653]

Thanks for sharing Karen! Interesting comparison!

[@babs629]

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when your camera turns on....we see your smiling face...then you start to giggle!!

[@gloriasgallery820]

Dry good tutorial! It shows what can be done without the cost of Aussie Flotetrol!

[@ronlyngarrett2611]

I love this color combo!!!

[@gracielacantulozano4186]

Love your videos and all the explanations!!! Tks 😊😊

[@samanthasky4463]

thanks so much Karen, love learning from you.

[@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987]

Beautiful work. I actually like the way the American version turned out just a tad more than the other but I can't say that has anything to do with the floetrol. Thanks for sharing this. It's hard deciding which medium to go with sometimes.

[@karenmanson1782]

👋 Karen. Both beautiful. Will practice my puffing as full of hot air 🤣. 🙏

[@susansilver2000]

These came out great thanks for the experiment

[@lynnrussell467]

Fabulous lesson, Karen! Thank you so much! Abs besutiful! 💕💕💕💕✌☝

[@MonicaMuil]

Now I see why the Australian one is so popular, love that one 100 % better!

[@whiskeyb4breakfast62]

I’ve always used the American floetrol. Works great.

[@Lyricallor56]

Both beautiful!

[@agould105]

This is the BEST instructional video I’ve seen in a long time! Your explanations were easy and I can’t wait to try this. This is a new technique to me and you explained everything wonderfully. Thank you!

[@elysefontaine2601]

Very helpful.. Thank you. Moss green is beautiful like that second Bloom. The minwax is a game changer!

[@judithdigisi6450]

I love the color combination. Beautiful pieces!

[@marygrinage7059]

Thank you ...love watching you and love your personality. You are a GREAT instructor and appreciate your willingness to explain everything!

[@lauriecassada4787]

Thank you for the little spoon tip I love them..

[@lesleylang3020]

Thanks for showing the American Fowetrol !!! The Ausie one is hard to get in Canada and you have been so kind to show your recipe. I just love the the outcome of your paintings. You have made me so excited and giving me such inspiration . I am so Thankful!!! You are the best!

[@JoaBea4]

Great video! Thanks! Both are beautiful!

[@colleensandy3219]

Thank you I have COPD so I think I'll try the dryer.

[@cathyclemmer2059]

Thank You for sharing this experience with us. Very helpful. You are such an amazing artist.

[@vonellevanzant237]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great experiment!

[@charlessonnichsen2780]

Thank you for the great teaching information, and recipes. Going to try.

[@evelynwarner517]

Thank you Karen you could never bore me with your instruction. Everything we need and all the whys

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Karen! I have a question... do you have to use Color Art pigments? Can this be done with regular acrylic paints? (I use mostly Amsterdam brand, which is one of the few artist quality paint brands I can get here in Costa Rica) Maybe metallics or something mixed with pearl medium? Thanks in advance!

[@caciliaeferl1094]

Wowwwww, the second is without words....! Amazing!

[@joyousruby2967]

Great info at end too thanks. What is difference between Base Paint & Pouring Medium?? Please. I'm.confused..just started out & used only base paint with flowtroel..& colours. !??? Where does the pouring medium fit into it!. ? Thanks 😁😅😁

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

Full recipe comes up on the screen at 26:10. The base paint is used alone as your first puddle on the canvas. The colors are mixed with the pouring medium recipe; and the cell activator is a separate recipe that goes on last before you puff.

[@joyousruby2967]

@@WaterfallAcrylics thanks so much! Finally someone ki d enough to.explain in simple terms. Bless you..I'm.in uk..So having long wait for my Aussie Flowtrol!. We can only get Owatrol here..and can't get many cells. So I'm hoping it get better results asap. Thanks again. X😁😍😁

[@judyplant346]

Ok great comparisons and agree they are both scrumptious!🥰👏👏👏 I am looking forward to the formula and experimenting! Thank you so much!

[@christy7635]

Thank you!! I learned a lot watching this and have saved it :)

[@jwiki1]

Cool beans! Great comparison and beautiful colors!! Thanks Karen! Lots of Aloha sent your way! ❤️🤙🏼🌺

[@caciliaeferl1094]

Everything what you make is special.....! Love it! Cäcilia 🙏🤗🤩

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

What's great about using the minwax w/c is it doesn't repel resin,even though it's an oil base. If you try 1part Amsterdam paint to 7 parts floetrol gives you smaller cells kiinda lacing effect

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

Yes I know. I stopped using it tho because it’s so toxic.

[@FluidArtbyChristineMorris]

Karen, Great tutorial for newbies doing blooms, very thorough and detailed recipe for those in US. Thanks and have a great day!

[@ocean8434]

My favorite video of yours! Exciting to see how they both work! Aloha !

[@dragonflyacrylics2542]

Thank you for sharing your recipes, tips and for your kindness🌺❤️🌺have a wonderful evening.

[@FiandMe16]

Than you for sharing with us. You do such beautiful work! I really appreciate your experimenting for American Floetrol, and sharing so generously. Even writing it down for a screen shot! You have always been generous, I think you must have a beautiful soul. I watch a lot of pouring channels in bed at night. And don’t want to wake my husband. Since I don’t want to use ear buds, I will watch them without sound. But I can’t do that with your channel, because I enjoy your personality so much! You are funny and real and you tell great stories, thanks again for sharing.

[@woodworkinggirl2163]

i was so bummed at first because aussie floetrol is so expensive, but now i found this video and yah🤗 i’m so excited to try your recipe. i have bottles and bottles of American floetrol so now i want to play. thank you so much for posting this and making it so easy to copy your recipe. you have it so simple to follow, i much appreciate it❤️christy from Va

[@mandamorris7934]

I've watched this a dozen times Miss Karen...and every time I get a little braver... I dig your work and you and Miss Julie were my first addictions...and I've seen you scrape... hey its just paint right? Oh geez I'm so excited I might actually DO IT this time!! Thank you for being you.

[@cindyhose7206]

Thank you for this! Love it! I have been waiting for my Australian Floetrol to arrive, but I ordered these materials and will try to get cells! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@melvaperunko42]

Thank you so much! 💗

[@annettecahalan2170]

Hi never mind I’m at the end of the video and see your pillow paint 🥰🥰🥰 is this still your most current recipe?. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us. Very much appreciated 🌻🦋🌻🦋🌻🦋🌻🦋

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

I’m using PPG multi pro in eggshell as my pillow now.

[@candacedowney9439]

Love the colors you used so pretty

[@kim99may]

Thank you for posting recipes long enough so we can screen shot and try them! I adore your art. You are funny too.

[@אילנהלרנר]

Thank you so so much I love you without knowing you I love you that because you ditch us to do something so special and easy way. Have a marvelous day and continue teaching such a great things to do. With love Elana

[@paradisemaryann]

I want to take the time to thank you for all your time and videos. I have learned so much that I am in a competition of Friday the 11th. The only fluid artist and boy, there are some talented artists there. Connect is a place for emerging artists and have been asked to be a mentor in this art form. Any hints?

[@JMoPainting]

I really need to get me some Australian Floetrol if the difference s that HUGE! Wow stunning!! Thank you for sharing your art with us!

[@danielletini2004]

Thank you so much for that video greatly appreciated 👍💕

[@gratefulcreations]

Very nicely done!! And yes, you probably were a teacher in a former life. And you’re good at it!!

[@mandamorris7934]

Oh holy moly.... wow... I really need to do this... I'm so jazzed about learning this!!!

[@magnificentyou2279]

You're a hoot, as always! And amazing! And generous! And thorough! And an excellent instructor! So very much appreciated! Such a fabulous contributor to the community!

[@kian4753]

Hi, what is the ratio for your pillow of house paint and gaac?Thank you so much for this demo, very helpful.

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

4 cups of paint; 1/4 cup of GAC800.

[@lynnoble8229]

Beautiful, love the results

[@dafadilly615]

Great job! Yay!

[@lalaloopsychika]

Karen (the good kind) I used your formula and it worked great! I was just using amster white and water, which worked well, but the addition of the glue in your formula added so much more structure to the cell lacing...I did three just to see if it came out the same ...it did and i love it! Thank you!

[@paulinemstampfli2234]

Beautiful 😍 Do you have to clean your canvas when you use minwax just like you would if you used silicone?

[@WaterfallAcrylics]

No

[@markguildeaart7170]

Wow, what a fantastic video, sooo informative, thank you so much, they both look amazing 💚☘️👍

[@annettehill6264]

Karen. I love what you did here and I have watched you many times. This gave me a lot of info that I needed. You did a great job in explaining and caring about your subscribers enough to show us what works best for US Floetrol and AUS Floetrol. Very great job and I thank you for sharing.

[@leestein2639]

I took a virtual lesson with Karen a few weeks ago and she's amazing! So kind and informative, but also hones in on where you need the most help - I highly recommend!!

[@erinwood4968]

Thanks for making this tutorial and comparing the 2 Floetrols. I live in the US and bought some floetrol already, looking forward to giving it a try 🙏😊

[@pattir2198]

Thank you so much for giving us another option for the bloom technique besides the Australian Floetrol! Can't wait to try it! Again, thank you so much for sharing with all of us!! 🥰
