Tara I'm sure I already commented I know I spoke with you and back when all this started well I went with your recipe don't I forgot the gag 100 so I still need to order it and I'm waiting on two more of them 5 ml bottles like you put yours in I just wanted to thank you so much for putting this video out and I so wish I could come to take your course but unfortunately I can't. So have a safe trip and have fun and always be safe. :)))
Game changer Tara!! I do love your work and so appreciate you sharing. I didn't have GAC 100 on hand but did have some 800. I used the snaked amount possible to wet my piggies and it worked. However, I am heading to the Art Store next week and will pick up the GAC 100. Thank you again!!
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry I’m so excited my Valspar arrived today… I can get back to painting hopefully this recipe works for my p.m. because I was an 8300 user of Behr Thank you again
Thanks for sharing your new PM. I couldn’t get 8300 out here so I’ve never used it, but I definitely want to try out your recipe. I like how you went over the difference in mixing pigments and tube paint. I have some CTG I bought months ago and haven’t tried so I need to pull that out. Love the painting!!!
Beautiful color choices and I love the base you put your bloom on. Thank you Tara for another option for a medium. I think leaving out the varnish will prevent the paint from becoming “goopy “ after sitting awhile. Just my opinion..❤
Yes Paula!!! You honestly don’t have to remix your paints each time you want to premix and don’t use them all up in thr same session. There’s no varnish to remix in! It’s great! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
🎉 thank you so much for sharing the recipe I am a new fan I absolutely love your work and have I can't believe I wasn't subscribed so I'm going to share this I definitely loved it and yeah I'm subscribed so thank you so much and this is a beautiful beautiful piece, and I look forward to much more!!
Thanks so much Kathy! Btw…your art will be coming to you soon. It has been too humid to varnish outside here the last couple of weeks. Tomorrow should be better though so I will varnish tomorrow and get your art out soon! ❤️
Tara. Love your video just found you today. Been watching and collecting tons of supplies could you tell me about your spinner. This piece is stunning. Ty for your information. Hugs
@mrsCJust4fun thank you so much! My spinner is from the amazingJessica at Winter-Strom Art. Here is a link to her website. It is my favorite spinner. This is the smaller one. winterstrom-art.com/
Thank you for the mixing video, I just got my 1st pigments, and using Josonya is quite smelly as varnish can be. I couldn't paint in the house using it, living in AZ desert, it is too hot to work in the garage during the summer, so I am going to try the GAC 100, see if my housemates can tolerate the smell of the paint with that method. Thank you
Sure SM! The Valspar is too thin on its own…it won’t hold up the cell structure. The Behr Dynasty is too thick on its own so you have to add something in to thin it down and most people use a varnish to do so. I don’t like using varnish because it always makes my cell activator melt my cells and they are not frost one clean looking…if that makes sense. So I found that when I combine the two base paints I don’t need to use varnish at all. Which for me is a win win. Hope that helps! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Hi Tara, thanks for the great video. Question…why don’t you mix the valspar and behr together as I noticed you have them in separate bottles. And just an fyi the tool that goes on the end of the dryer is a concentrator the diffuser is the big round piece for curly hair. Can you tell I was a hair designer 😂 I just love your work💜
lol! Yea I always get the name of that dumb thing confused! 😆 I don’t mix the two because sometimes I don’t want to use the Behr dynasty…especially if it is a tube paint. Each type of paint has a different consistency so I separate them so that I can get the perfect consistency for the type of paint I am using. Does that make sense? 😆
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry oh totally. I do the same thing and I thought I was doing something wrong and now I see you doing it. I’m so in love with your art. Hugs
I am so excited, I have 2 classes with you in March! I am doing your 3D flowers course and your Bloom course! Do you think I can take what I learn in the flowers class and apply it to the 3D scales? That class conflicts with another I wanted to take.
@@kristietemple7947 That’s awesome Kristie! And of course! The movements are very similar! You will definitely be able to Transfer the skills you learn to the 3d scales! Cant wait! ❤️
It’s a great combo! I do not thin out my SW color to go colors. Usually I have to open my container for a couple days to thicken them up. As far as sheen…I believe that all color to go colors are satin. Hope this helps!
Thanks Susan! I will link and article that will explain the difference! Basically for my applications GAC 100 is specially formulated to wet pigments to make pigments into paint and GAC 800 is specially formulated to reduce cracking and crazing on pour painting. Here is the article: justpaint.org/gac-specialty-polymers/
Very pretty! I have a question- I saw some house paint colors I like and wondering if you have any clue how I could make those colors from acrylic paint?
Thanks Susan! You can google how to make specific colors. Otherwise the only way I know how is to just start experimenting but google is a good resource. Also the is a lot of videos on RUclips about paint mixing. You can try that! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Hello Tara, just wanted to thank you for this new recipe. I have one question for you can you please give me your 2 to 1 ratio for PM in grams for both pigments, tubes, and fluid paints. Thanking you in advance 😀😀
Hello Yuvonne! Your welcome! Sooo…when you are measuring the pm it is basically 2 grams Valspar to 1 grams of Behr dynasty. If you want to make more you just scale up from there. As you saw in my video I did not weight my pigments or my tube paints. And as I don’t work in grams, I work in oz on my scale that is something you might have to figure out. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help but I hope I am making sense. ☺️❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so much for sharing and your work is beautiful. If you don't mine my asking, where can I get other colors by Tri-Art Liquid: Turquoise Phthalo that you used above? I searched Amazon but I could not find the same bottle, nor the way Tri-Art is written (the script). Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
What type of paint is the gray base? Eggshell, semi-gloss, gloss? Sorry, I’m new to the Bloom technique. Very pretty design. I like the use of a colored base!😊
Tara , I have a question when it comes to TLP or any other brand of Mica powders, as far as them diluting completely in the Valspar kind of makes me wonder or want to put a little bit of Jo sonja just to make sure they're dissolved and diluted. With that said in your video it seems to work just fine with the Valspar. I'm just afraid it won't. And I love the painting I think it turned out gorgeous I love the wispies at the top and the negative space. It's gorgeous. I've had the same ingredients but I've been waiting on fluid Art co for the squeeze bottles and I just got them 2 days ago and I just got them decanted last night so I haven't tried it yet . Thanks for sharing this video I definitely referred back to it because like I said I was waiting on those same squeeze bottles you're using . Thank you so much for putting on this video on mixing, I appreciate it so much. Thank you stay safe always.❤❤
I’m sorry I am just seeing this question. I wet my pigments with GAC100 before adding them to my pouring medium. That way they are fully wet and ready to integrate. You can also use gac 800 or Liquitex pouring medium to wet them as well. Another trick is the scoop them in a little gloss gel and integrate them with that and then add valspar pm. With the thicker paint you probably don’t need any of the Behr dynasty (that is if you do it the gel way). Hope this all makes sense. ❤️
Thank you so much Janell! I honestly have never used it. I would look at the description on Golden’s website and compare it to what the Colourart website says. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. ❤️☺️🙏🏻
Do you have Lowe’s Canada? That’s where you find it. My pillow paint is PPG Multipro in eggshell. It’s found at Home Depot. As far as what’s available in Canada - Lisa Marvin uses just the Behr Dynasty and I believe Josonja but I’m not sure. You could check out her channel.
Thanks Shelley! This is actually a Jessica Winterstrom spinner. You can buy it at winterstrom-art.com already assembled. It is her baby spinner. I have the larger one and it comes already assembled as well except the arms are detachable and easy to attach if you would like them attached. Hope this helps! ☺️❤️🙏🏻
Thanks for the new recipe ! Looks like it works out well ! Do you use the Gac100 if your paints need thinning ? That’s the point I usually use too much gloss ! Thanks ! Lovely painting !
@@susanwilayto8833 Hi Susan! Yes the PM works out well. I use the GAC100 to thin as well but if you stick to this recipe you shouldn’t need to thin. ☺️❤️🙏🏻
This is so beautiful Tara ✨ if I ever paint again I hope I remember this pouring medium 😂 Resin made me lazy ! Hate cleaning up! But love my friends so always watch 🥰 and am always inspired 😘 love you 😍
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry I was going to ask the same question too. But as you said the paints tend to thicken as they sit or if you haven't used them in a long time. Also would you use the Gac 100 to wet your pigments as well when you are mixing them into a normal paint and adding gel gloss?
I honestly haven't used it enough to know if there is a big difference in pouring. The couple times I have used it I haven't seen a difference. That being said the Expert series does have some different colors that the Basics series does not have.
Sure Kathy! The Valspar is too thin on its own…it won’t hold up the cell structure. The Behr Dynasty is too thick on its own so you have to add something in to thin it down and most people use a varnish to do so. I don’t like using varnish because it always makes my cell activator melt my cells and they are not frost one clean looking…if that makes sense. So I found that when I combine the two base paints I don’t need to use varnish at all. Which for me is a win win. Hope that helps! 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Is there any reason not to premix the 2 deep base together in a container? Also where do you get those bottles with the blue lids? I thought someone said Lolivefe but I can’t find them on their website.
Hi Kathy! I’m sorry this response has taken so long I am just now seeing it. I get my bottles from fluid-art.co they are the best! So the reason I don’t mix it all together is that some very fluid paints need more of the dynasty than the thicker paints which usually just need the valspar. It is easier to mix for different paint viscosities when they are separated. Hope this helps and isn’t too late! ❤️
@@bethalvarez6956 Good question Beth! So the Valspar on its own is too thin and the Behr Dynasty on its own is too thick. I do not use varnish in my blooms to thin down the Behr because I end up with wonky cells. Sooo…my solution is to use the Valspar and thicken it up with the Behr. Hope that helps!
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry it does thank you very much. I’m on information overload. I know one thing for sure you have to pick something and stick with it because there’s too many opinions and too many recipes and it’s starting to make me crazy.
I love the gray paint you used for your background. What a fabulous idea. All I’ve ever seen is black or white stupid question number 6420. I guess you can use any color paint you want you can just tint The pain if you choose, am I correct this opens up a whole new thing for me, I paint pictures. I’ve never done this and I am just so intrigued by it, but I’m afraid to pull the trigger cause I get confused. Too many cooks spoil the Brew, but I heard good things about youand decided you were going to be my go to
@@bethalvarez6956 So if I were you I would stick to Sherwin Williams Color To Go to start with if you will be tinting it. Usually when you add color to a base paint it thins it down so it will be thinner than just a white. In that case I get my color to go and open it and leave the cap askew to let air in. The air will thicken it up. You should give it a stir every few hours. I would keep it open like that for at least 12 hours…stirring every 3 hours. You can leave it without stirring but it will create a film overtop that you will have to remove completely otherwise little bits will dry in your paint. You may want to master white before you move onto colors bases. That will help you determine if the consistency is right or not. ☺️
When people say they’re using their black activator, they’re white activator they Amsterdam cell activator. Are they basically saying that that’s the color they added the activator to?
Cell activator is the mixture of paint with Australian Floetrol (or some have recipes for American Floetrol). The recipe I use for my cell activators is 1 part paint to 3 parts Australian Floetrol. If you look in the description box most people will give you the recipe for their cell activator and other useful information. Check it out! ☺️
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry i’m catching on I’m about to go get a pen and paper and write all this stuff down. I mix some paint for the first time the other day and it was flow draw and gag 800. I hope it works OK I’m just pouring it over that I had.
So pretty. Prehnite and lakeside are now my favorites too❤️❤️❤️

@@PiecesofTaraArtistry it does thank you very much. I’m on information overload. I know one thing for sure you have to pick something and stick with it because there’s too many opinions and too many recipes and it’s starting to make me crazy.
I love the gray paint you used for your background. What a fabulous idea. All I’ve ever seen is black or white stupid question number 6420. I guess you can use any color paint you want you can just tint The pain if you choose, am I correct this opens up a whole new thing for me, I paint pictures. I’ve never done this and I am just so intrigued by it, but I’m afraid to pull the trigger cause I get confused. Too many cooks spoil the Brew, but I heard good things about youand decided you were going to be my go to
@@bethalvarez6956 Yes it can be tricky at first! ☺️
@@bethalvarez6956 So if I were you I would stick to Sherwin Williams Color To Go to start with if you will be tinting it. Usually when you add color to a base paint it thins it down so it will be thinner than just a white. In that case I get my color to go and open it and leave the cap askew to let air in. The air will thicken it up. You should give it a stir every few hours. I would keep it open like that for at least 12 hours…stirring every 3 hours. You can leave it without stirring but it will create a film overtop that you will have to remove completely otherwise little bits will dry in your paint. You may want to master white before you move onto colors bases. That will help you determine if the consistency is right or not. ☺️
When people say they’re using their black activator, they’re white activator they Amsterdam cell activator. Are they basically saying that that’s the color they added the activator to?
So is there flowtrol in there or whatever?
So I’ll take the HEART as a yes, that’s funny
Cell activator is the mixture of paint with Australian Floetrol (or some have recipes for American Floetrol). The recipe I use for my cell activators is 1 part paint to 3 parts Australian Floetrol. If you look in the description box most people will give you the recipe for their cell activator and other useful information. Check it out! ☺️
@@bethalvarez6956 I responded to your question in your above comment.☺️
@@PiecesofTaraArtistry i’m catching on I’m about to go get a pen and paper and write all this stuff down. I mix some paint for the first time the other day and it was flow draw and gag 800. I hope it works OK I’m just pouring it over that I had.
