Great info Tash. It may be obvious, but I'd like to add that it's most important to get each of your colours to be the same consistency as each other for the one pour. Also, as you mentioned, the thinner the consistency, the easier it will be for the cells to move up through the paint. Yet, also the thinner the paint is, the more likely the colours will blend together. With the metallics, I have found that if they are the same consistency as the other paints or thinner, then they are likely to form a thin layer over the top of the colours. If you want cells from the metallics and for the metallics to have lines of their own, then i find having the metallics thicker than the other colours works well. For instance I usually mix my DecoArt Extreme Sheen 24k 3 parts paint to 1 part Floetrol. (I pour into a container three of the 2oz pots of the 24k, then add one pot of Floetrol). Of course, each artist has their own preferences.
Hi may I please enquire where you purchase the Deco Art paint that you use, and mentioned above? Truly appreciate if you wld share your info with me. I can't fund this particular paint? Vinnie 🥰👌
hi there lovely lady , another great video ... I have some acrylic ( black & white ) from the paint section at builders. Can i use this in conjunction with the craft acrylic colors (dala) I have? thanks
What is the ratio for the ring pour medium and must I use modge podge or do you give alternative recipe's too? What is the most important factor in achieving a great ring pour? Lastly the birds and waves were putting me to sleep and I felt a bit distracting from listening to your great advice. Just some constructive feedback. Thx
Thanks, I have since changed the background music so thank you. The consistency needs to be the tickets for ring pours. It's tough to give a ratio because it depends on the colours you choose and the brand. So try rather get it to look like the thickest consistency in this video 👍😊
Thank you, modge podge is a decoupage medium, like a glue / sealer. It's used to stick and seal paper to wood for instance. This makes it a good binder for a homemade pouring medium 👍
Very helpful. Thank you. I am a beginner with acrylic pouring, ..... Help ! .... Please can you tell my why my ‘colours’ are bleeding into my white paint. I use pva, paint and water. The bleeding is more significant with black, magenta and dark purple, although it can occur with other colours also. I use a ‘normal’ white, would it be better to use Titanium white ? The bleeding can happen in most techniques/consistencies . Many thanks
It could be that without a binder our pigments are running into the paints. That's why most pouring medos have a glue of some sort. If you're only using water, you rely on the quality of the pigments. Does it happen even with the thickest consistency?
Do you add your modge podge to your paint as is and thin after the paint has been added to the consistency you want? The video appears that the modge podge has already been thinned and then added to the paint.
Hi Kim, you're correct I mix mod podge and water to create a homemade medium that's much thinner than store bought ones, but still helps bind. I think it was my 2nd video I made 😊
Helpful! Thank you :) 1 recommendation: turn off the peaceful water nature background sounds- I found it a little difficult to hear you and found it a little distracting from all the useful info you were providing :)
That too, and less chance of the paints mixing and then your rings keep their form too. But you will need more paint to cover the canvas as thick paint doesn't move much👌
@@HappyArtistTash I think the consistency of number 2 should work. Also, when adding paint around the pour to give more flow, is it better to use similar colors? I find that white or black tends to show through the lights or dark colors. But it somehow seems to work for all the RUclipsrs.....Lol. And it doesn't look like using black canvas goes well with light colors. Especially on the edges.
I totally agree, I feel like we've Ll watched so many YT videos that use white or black as base colours that we don't feel comfortable to try other colours. I know usually it's because those two have a higher density and are therefore heavier and should stay at the bottom. Unless the consistency of the base is equal or thinner than your colours. I'd definitely stick to your similar colours that you'd use in your pour, that way there's no mixing, as you say 😉
That's a completely different technique and use of products 😇 I do have a bloom style recipe using South African products, but cannot take credit at all because it's best to do her online course 👌😅
Thank you I can never get that right, to thick crazing, to thin cracking, paints drying dark,got a bloody house full of them, makes a bloke feel like chucking it all in:(
Hi Happy Paint Pourers, Has anyone discovered the correct S.African house paint to use in a successful Bloom Pour Technique, yet? I have tried, and tried, with NO SUCCESS, it is so demoralising, yet I can't give up, not yet anyway. Please help, if ny ofyou have had successful Shelly Art, type Bloom Fluid Art pours? 🤪

This is BRILLIANT info yes, thank you for adding this in 👏🤩

I am referring to the Deco Art Extreme Sheen 14K paint.
Thank you.
Vinnie
I think it's only over seas?
Thanks for the illustrations for consistency. This helps me a lot. Subscribed. 👏🏽👏🏽
Best paint consistency video I have seen! This makes it very clear and is very well demonstrated
Thank you very much for the support
This helped me so much thank you
Loved the way you explained
Thank you
Thank you ....very informative and simply put!
Thank you 👌
Thank you so very much. This really did help me. I may need to watch it more and more.
🤗
Glad it worked for you 🙏
A great and informative video! Thanks for sharing all of this knowledge.
Thank you so much, so glad it helped 🤩
Awesome! Very helpful info!!
Thanks for this info.
Thanks this is quite informative!
I'm so glad to hear it 👍
Thanks Tash - useful info :-)
great informations 👏👏👏 thank you for sharing 👍😊
Have a nice day 😊 ❤️
Let's stay connected! 😊
Thanks Tash...much appreciated...will u use 1 or 2 for the bloom technique?
Actually each layer has a different consistency 😊🎨I'll show it on my vid this Saturday 👏
hi there lovely lady , another great video ... I have some acrylic ( black & white ) from the paint section at builders. Can i use this in conjunction with the craft acrylic colors (dala) I have? thanks
Yes you can 😊 although their consistency may be different so I'd first mix them in totally and only then add medium as needed 😁
What is the ratio for the ring pour medium and must I use modge podge or do you give alternative recipe's too? What is the most important factor in achieving a great ring pour?

Hi, i was wondering if you do a demo on bloom technique sonetime. Thank you. Love your work.
Hi, I do have a bloom recipe in one of my earlier videos using south african products 🤩

Hi Tash, at Builders in Cape Town they refuse to sell the Dulux Luxury silk ultra deep base without a colour added to it.
That is so odd??? I bought mine in builders in somerset west and odly enough, I actually saw it at checkers hyper the other day too?
Plz help me to decide wht to use for pillow colour which house paint good in uk .thanks
Hi, I'm in SA so it's very tricky. Have you done the sheleeart online course? She gives her paints for blooms
So the thicker the consistency the better for ring pour so it doesn't sink when you add to pouring cup?
That too, and less chance of the paints mixing and then your rings keep their form too. But you will need more paint to cover the canvas as thick paint doesn't move much👌

@@HappyArtistTash Okay note to self, make base flow a bit more fluid! You have been so helpful! Wish me luck :)
Absolutely, good luck and I hope you have fun 😉
Here in Bulgaria, mod podge is not available, only Elmers School glue and Elmers glue all, can I use this and do I need to modify the amounts?
Yes you can I would probably try 1 to 1 ratio as the glue is quite thick right??
@@HappyArtistTash I use Elmer's Glue All here in the States and I mix 70 g of glue and 30 g of distilled water. That's my pouring medium.
Brilliant idea
Where is your consistence for the sheele bloom art?
That's a completely different technique and use of products 😇 I do have a bloom style recipe using South African products, but cannot take credit at all because it's best to do her online course 👌😅

Just keep at it, you'll get the hang of it
