You don't tell too much! You help SO much!❤
@@dlyose thank you dlyose, I am actually really happy that I help so much😘
@@dlyose I wish I had someone like me when I was starting out.
@@LouiseMcKayArt I absolutely appreciate you!
More gorgeous colors. And more gorgeous tiles.
Thanks Lisa, 💙🩵more coming in this palette! It’s a keeper!!
Hi from Yorkshire in the UK! As a newbie to the fluid art world, your depth of knowledge and teaching qualities is so helpful. Thank you.
@@grahamclements-turner1148 thank you Graham, 😘welcome all the way from UK, I’m in North Carolina USA. I’m sure you’re gonna find a lot of fun with Fluid and hopefully I can be helpful.😊
Your amazing talented skilled artist dear Louise. Impressive your artworks and results.
Thanks so much 😊Nanete!!
Please don't change your willingness to share, you don't talk to much, your informative and have a great philosophy of teaching.
Thank you, Janice, I may run out of things to share though😂😂😂 once my well goes dry🤣🤣. Yeah, my attitude is I can share every single thing I know and it doesn’t hurt me or make me vulnerable because one or someone has to be able to do it themselves!!! So no loss for me here. I just hope that if somebody directly takes something I do or use they give me at least some acknowledgment though. That is the proper thing to do.
@@LouiseMcKayArt I acknowledge that your recipe for the American Floetrol worked when nothing else did and you helped me establish that using a scale and tightening up on consistency of paints is very important, at least until your good enough to eyeball it. I've turned out some nice pieces and have started selling. So thank you and would love to know your layering tip but I can't make it to DC, maybe in future.
Amen @Janiceveline3681!

Brilliant Louise Aunt 😊
Congratulations on your views ❤❤
Colorful and beautiful outcome

Louise, those beautiful coasters in the beginning look very similar to the ones I won in the giveaway. You always bring so much sunshine to my gloomy days with your positivity.
@@byronchandler5000 thank you so much, Byron. 😘I’m glad these remind you of those coasters. There are some slight differentials, but they are very similar. Glad you enjoyed.💙🩵

Beautiful, Louise!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Nikki😘 I appreciate your support and you leaving your thoughts.
Oh my goodness, Louise! The spit issue in either plastic, silicone metal straws drives me cray cray! Thank you for enlightening me (and surely many others) with regard to the paper and the spittle. 😂Obviously, my art degree didn't prepare me for such logic! Seriously though, you are amazing and we all appreciate your sharing. It's obvious when others don't share most all of the details. Your transparency has won you a new raving fan! I am so glad I found your channel and I am telling all my artsy friends. 😉😻🤸♀
Yes, yes, YES Laurie! I’m trying so hard to grow dying it right sharing good stuff. Please share away have all your friends subscribe, between art and the bears videos I post, there’s something for everyone. Thank you so much, rave away!!😘😘😘
@@LouiseMcKayArt Fantastic! My stepdaughter hiked a long stretch of the Appalachian Trail and she will love the bear vids! I'll let her know and my other peeps, too! Thanks so much!

Thank you Louise and I do believe that your "saying too much" works best for you. Dont worry about the others. Beautiful coasters. Heres hoping mine turn out beautiful as well.
Thank you, Elizabeth and best wishes to your creations as well😘
OMG is there a color palette you can't do??? These are the most beautiful. Thank you so much Louise for your tutorials and I'll be seeing you in DC!!! Yaaaaayy
Carefree you are far too kind, and I do love working with different color, palace and making up combinations that are unexpected! Can’t wait to see you in DC😘
Hi Louise, a lovely colour palette and no gold, thank you for sharing and there’s nothing wrong with saying too much, we’re very appreciative 😊✨🫶🏻
Thanks so much Kat, I appreciate your support!
Gorgeous! Those colors are my jam!❤❤❤

thank you 💙so much Yen
Lovely 😊
@@Lee-Anne-ow3uo thank you Lee Anne😘
Dang, I wish this art form existed when I had to opportunity to take part. Love watching though- and seeing these amazing creations appear. You are a true artist Louise. I get memories of mixing my glazen for the pottery. Lovely thoughts. I agree about the fabulous color combination 💙💜🖤💙🩵 You can share all you like. Be yourself. It's the forst time I've heard a plus for paper straws. They are horrid to drink with🤣! .Again- stunning 🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
Thank you so much for being here my friend from down under😘 Anita, I really appreciate all of your lovely words and I absolutely agree with you about papers draws, being used in the conventional sense… But for Fluid art and blowing the paint, perfection. Thank you so much for being here . 💙🧡
Louise, I don't know of one artist, who has not kept one secret to themselves about their artwork 😉 and I appreciate your artistry and your secrets 😊 These turned out brilliantly, and express each other, while being a color all to themselves. Again, you have the gift of knowing what colors to use, and where to lay them down so that they combine your paintings, into beautiful pieces of artwork!!! Again, I appreciate your teachings, and time...be safe, "Happy 4th of July"! 🤗☺❣
Once again thank you so much Jude, I love your support and opinion here. Happy 4th to you too! Enjoy the freedom and fireworks safely!
Gorgeous looks very impressive ❤
Thank you! Cheers! Sofia 😘
Love the colours!

Really beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊so much Dawn!
Thanks Louise. Be careful of those bears, love from NB Canada!
@@brendataylor5928 will do, momma surprised me this time!
Firstly, Louise, I have also been told on many occasions that, that I say ‘too much’ however, I no longer care, as if people don’t want to hear me, they can walk away 😂. Just keep on being you. Always speak your truth!
Secondly, that blue colour palette, is so rich, it really is gorgeous 😍♥️💐💐
@@fionapopovic4523 thank you Fiona so much for your support and when I say I say too much, I’m referring to spilling too many tips! But honestly I’m good sharing tips! Thanks for all your support!💙
@@LouiseMcKayArt yes, I knew that’s what you meant. Just stay true to yourself, Louise. You can give all your tips and tricks away, however that won’t make any one, an expert or proficient at the Bloom technique. That can take many years of practice and learning, about the paints, layering, the blow and the chemical reactions of the paints. Take care Louise, stay safe and keep on blooming ♥️💐
@@fionapopovic4523 thanks again, Fiona, that’s exactly what I think I can lead the horse to water, but I can’t make them drink. Have a happy Fourth of July.🇺🇸
Hi Louise these are beauties, just want to wish you and your hubby a great 4th of July🎆🎇❤❤
@@janmaulMansfield5436 thanks so much, happy 4th 🇺🇸
Great tips in here and interesting about the layering being the opposite of what you heard at FAE. Love this color palette!!
Thanks 😘August, and I came up with the layering on my own. Always being different
You used my favorite color, blue. Now I'm getting real inventive here. I can't help but wonder, what a bloom would look like if made on a poster sized palette.
Thanks Ozwald, it would look like a big bloom. 🤣 I do need to go big for fun!
I really love the colours of these!! When I first saw them, I thought you had used silver CA. I Saw Amber Goodwin use it with blues and it looked fabulous!! Your cells turn out great with you recipe. Beautiful coaster!! I love listening to the birds while you paint and I imagine you do too. ❤
Thank you, Joey, 😘I have never tried silver cell activator. You’ve given me an idea. I do have another set of coasters coming up similar pallet with silver in it and they are fabulous. You’ll get to see them in another week or so. And yes, I do love the birds as well.😘
@@LouiseMcKayArt Looking forward to it!! ❤
I sooooo wish I could come to the fluid Art experience. Love watching your videos. ❤
@@stacylampack4443 thank you Stacy, 🩵it should be really informative and fun for anyone who does, especially for me who it’ll be my first time!😳
@@LouiseMcKayArt You're gonna crush it!!
@@laurienoe1233 thanks, I want to really help the ppl who join me!
@@LouiseMcKayArt Your positive attitude is so refreshing! Thank you! Honestly, at this junction, I just want to watch your tutorials because they are so enlightening and encouraging. 🙂
@@laurienoe1233 awe Laurie, thank you so much, your words make me happy!😃
Just lovely, I think I am going back to the American Floetrol recipe (yours) as the Australian does not seem to be better to me, not enough to justify the price.
Thank you, Janice, 😘that’s exactly how I feel, they’re kind of interchangeable to me, but if I had to pick I would go with the American. The Australian definitely help me out in the winter time when it was cooler in the art room.
I'm gonna go back to your ca recipe because my aussie floetrol mix is failing too often.
Funny, I asked if you'd tried this color combo adding a deep violet in another video and I'm seeing a deep violet sitting off to the side in this video lol
Awesome tip on the straws!
Thank you so much, Dawn, I hope you’re staying cool out there. And yeah, that straw is a game changer at least for me such a relief, knowing that my spit is not gonna fall in. And yes, I have had the color combination, adding violet as well. I’ve done it in prior video. I don’t know sometime maybe three months ago. Thank you so much for being here. I appreciate your comments.💙
As I have “said” many times, you are a wonderful teacher. Can you help me. I cannot blow to make a bloom (due to medical issues, not smoking related!) The straw is not strong enough and the hair dryer is too much. I have a mini dryer but it doesn’t seem to have any strength, whether I use attachments or not. Am I just out of luck to make blooms? I have been trying to find alternatives techniques that roughly resemble a bloom. I’ll bet I am not alone in having this challenge. … Thank you for all that you so freely offer us. You are under no obligation to share anything you do! But, you do! We all appreciate you!
thank you 💙Susan for being here, there must be an in-between dryer and step above the mini and a full blow dryer. I wish I had a better offer for you!
I wish!
@@SusanTofteland-ef9nu Hi Susan. You might try an air brush to "blow" your paint around. Good Luck.
Louise what is TLP ??? Love your videos beautiful colours.hope someone will let me know what TLPis❤❤🥰😍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🐶😊
Sorry Maureen, I meant to explain that, TLP is This Little Piggy pigments or mica powder available through the Fluid art company!
Louise these are beautiful! Where did you buy those straws? I didn’t find them on Amazon?
I didn’t, I inherited them from the fluid art experience that was here In Asheville. I got lucky, just google the brand… thank you Kathy💙
Hi Louise, I would love to use your CA recipe. I am in the UK and have got a good combination of ingredients that are working well but use Australian floetrol. It would be so much cheaper for me to buy American floetrol and use your recipe but will it work well with my ingredients here in the UK. I know thats a really hard question for you to answer but do you find your recipe pretty good with other ingredients you may use in the US. Thanks Liz
Hi Liz, honestly, I have no idea how my American Floetrol sound activator will work with your ingredients from the UK, the only thing to do is to try and see how it goes.🇬🇧
where do I find that turntable mine is not woth the money doesnt spin much

Many of us can’t afford to travel, perhaps do a smart art course we can pay online?
Thank you, Susan, 😘I totally understand and I definitely could put together a PDF or video series for a private classes. I am offering to do customized personalized tutorials at people’s request based on what they need to know up close and personal or resolve whatever problems they may be having. I mean, I couldn’t do an art course online, but I don’t know if I have the energy to put something like that together.
