Couldn’t agree more. She’s taking her time and paints to try and teach free

I actually like these types of videos because it shows us the steps for testing 🙂And shows that KZread artists aren't "perfect" the first time.

Thank you so much for this! I was getting so discouraged trying to master the bloom. Not even master...just come close. I'm not going to give up. I know I can do it. Thanks for getting me out of the pity party and for helping me not feel like a total failure. The explaining why the different products do what they do and how they interact with other products and why x + y will make Z instead of just a recipe that doesn't obviously work for every technique and every type of paint. You make logical sense out of the trial and error and what steps to take to try to correct issues and why. For me ,understanding what each product does, what its function is , makes a giant difference. So, again,thank you for helping me keep my sanity and my hair from bein pulled out. Love watchin you work your magic, from Dallas! Thanks😊

I’m so glad you did this video and didn’t figure it all first. This is the gluppy stuff I get. And I’m never exactly sure how to fix it. So Thank You! And I think I’m going to have to take class, because I really want to do blooms!

Not boring at all. For those of us who are beginning painters it helps us understand how different paints work together or not😅. Also it gives me ammo to use against my husband when he complains about me spending all the money on expensive paints. Thanks for that. I am still trying to figure out a justification for the Aussi Floetrol. 😊

It’s ABSOLUTE Magic when it comes to cell activator… And the bottle lasts long time because you don’t need much

Hi Lisa, I sincerely appreciate you experimenting, with is ‘bloom style’. I’m sure everyone watching your video agrees with me, when I say, this was NOT boring. I love watching these experiments and the many processes involved, while searching for answers. Thank you, for all you do 🙏♥️💐💐💐💐💐

Love your videos and how you show it is a process of understanding instead of a magic formula. This allows expanding one's own creativity instead of just copying someone else. You're never boring and watching your videos is like visiting a really kewl friend. Thank you for the beauty you create and the smiles you bring to my face.

great presentation, lisa! thank you!!!

I love learning with you as you go, you did an AMAZING job!!! ❤❤❤

OMG Lisa!!! It looks like a whales head popping out of the ocean!!! I LOVE IT!!! 💜💜💜

Thank you!

Lisa this was an amazing tutorial and I thank you so much for taking the time and the cost of all the materials to show this video

Hi Lisa I know Kanella talked about the artistloft pillowpaint ate up the colors. Maby if you tried your usual pillowpaint just to se if that was your problem...... and thanks for trying ❤️

You are such a gem Lisa! A scientific-type you may not be but you have common sense galore. My blooming journey has been fraught with 'pillow issues' mostly due to availability in France, manufacturer recipe changes and the radical changes in ambient temperatures of my home. Just wanted to mention that the last one you did looked a lot like the one I did using your Elmers glue/paint pillow recipe and Boomgels for my colors. Fantastic job - you always make me smile.

Elmer's an boom gell,,,,.🤔I'll have rp give that one a try ... boom gel, for stretch and Elmer's for STRUCTURE. SOUNDS INTERESTING.P

Hello Lisa ty for your experiment on the blooms. Very informative.

Happy Birthday, Lisa. You’re a hoot❤️

Great learning video! I think it's actually cheaper, in the end, to just get the good stuff from the start😅. 😍

I enjoyed watching that so much! Thanks for this demo Lisa 🤗

For CA you can use Liquitex Flow Aid Additive instead od floetrol. With Amsterdam paints I got nice cells And Chris Glatie made quite decent pillow from acrylic paint and PVA glue

this was a really helpful video as I'm learning. have been experiencing a lot of the breaking through the base cells and this really helps understand what may be wrong with my "formula". I've yet to try house paints, but have seen some of your other really helpful vids and think I'm going to give it a try. I'm hopeful with the amazing guidance you've shared that it may be the right way to go for me.. and my wallet!

This video was not boring! I appreciate you walking us through the different experiments! It was super helpful!

I know you said some people don't like the long videos where you do trial and errors taught me so much . Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything and an easy-to-understand way and I loved the trial and error like I said

Lisa keep doing what you do, off w/the naysayers. I really learned a lot from you. Thanks 😉 girl

I do "love how u do your "work !! & u are "pretty "funny to. "u go "girl (smile)😘

I did blooms without house paint when I first started but I didn't use ready mixed paints even for the pillow. Just used tube paint thinned with American Floetrol and water

Excellent information. Thank you.

Hello I’ve always used my own pillow mix - which I found to be easier in many ways. I use AL white/Floetrol and gloss gel

Not boring! Very educational to those of us that are new to the science of paint. I adore your need to experiment!

Lately if I need a black pillow paint I actually use the gloss gel/floetrol pouring medium mix and that seems to work pretty darn good. What's really ironic is that I actually started doing paint pouring this past January 2023 right around my 45th birthday and I gravitated towards the bloom I took the class and ironically I get the bloom and I got it quick but I can't do a decent ring pour or flip cup to save my life. As soon as I try to stretch it even on a spinner I end up with the wobbly line thing then again I don't think I've ever been good at doing anything in a straight line LOL

you are wonderful to take your time and try to figure out different options for people to be able to use for the bloom technique...so for anyone who dares to give you a hard time about "not figuring it out first then filming" stuff them in a sack of ungratefulness and send em on their way...love all you wonderful people who do these videos for us, and love seeing all the beautiful artwork created. Thank you!!

Many different artists recently ( from what I've personally seen on KZread) have used Flood Penetrol in replacement of Australia Floetrol so maybe you could try using that in your bloom experiments without house paint. I loved the tutorial by the way! I've been trying to find an alternative method to doing the bloom technique without house paints because of the mess and the smell so I hope it works out for you eventually! Much love from America! ❤️

Fun play time! I love it!

It's so encouraging to watch your process as you try to figure something out. The only house paint I can get is the gel sort that just doesn't pour at all, so this gives me hope I can work something out. Your approach to pouring is right up my street. 💖

You are so cute and funny and make me laugh while learning from you! 😄🥰

That Artist's loft ready to pour paints doesn't like to play with other paints in my experiences. I enjoy when you share your experiments with us. Loved the look when you took out the craft paints. Thank you, Lisa for all your videos

Happy birthday! You're a baby still! hahaha 44 was a great age.

This is just fun Lisa, not a waste of time. I think this 1st one is cool. Not boring at all. You are always fun to watch. NO, figuring it out with us watching, is definitely part of the fun. Going through the process with you teaches us things. BTW, 4 is my favorite #. I wore #44 through 4 years of high school basketball and softball, 24 volleyball

Thank you for doing this test Lisa. I would like to figure out how to do this with just acrylic paint instead of house paint. I have seen another artist make a cell activator with Amsterdam Standard paint, acrylic ink, and water and made some beautiful cells.

Thanks for sharing the experiments! Love all your trial and errors! I am crazy but love the eat up paint cells 😍

happy birthday!!!!! 🍰💐🍹🥂

I think this video was very interesting. I've watched some videos where they use regular paints and the floetrol with titanium white by amsterdam for CA, even just water with it. Tammy Anderson has done a lot of videos with blooms and regular paint. I think you showed a lot of us the progression quite well. I think the fact that you were using the cheaper paints made it harder. For the pillow especially Artist loft is known to eat paint.

@Lisamarvin if you want your pillow to be more stretchy try the string medium by liquitex. Its extremely gooey so you can make long strings of paint. You can even get some raised lines if you like. But I'm digressing. It will make your pillow more stretchy. You'll have to play around with ratios. I wonder what will happen if you make the pillow really stretchy ..🤔🙃

Love watching your videos, you are a kick. Thank you for doing these experiences with us. You never know, until you know! Grateful for you 😊

In my opinion you should have used the tube paint for the pillow and the pouring ready mix for the cell activator.

hahahaha, I think I'll stick with the expensive stuff. Thanks for the experiment.

Hi Lisa, I have been following you for the last year. I just love your blooms. I am going to the bloom class within a couple months. Cannot wait!!! ❤ your videos!

oops, my comment didn't go anywhere - just saying that some of us need what you call boring while we are doing other things as well. Plus it is great to see paint pouring videos using cheap mediums.

Thanks for sharing your experiments with us. Love your vudeos

I have been using the vivid enamel from colourart to mix up my pillow. I add Liquitex white and a little water. So far so good. Thanks for this educational video!

Great video thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤❤

Love the experimenting ! Thanks for showing us. Love it and happy almost birthday !! 💕💕🐣

Amazing work 👏👏👏

This was very interesting. Your experimentation is beneficial to all of us who are learning. I've been using the American floetrol mix of 10:1 and 9:1 for C/A with success. I may break down and order the aussie, but the shipping is a killer. Watching you try all the additives, and mixtures is quite fascinating to me. Certainly not boring. Ty for your insight, patience, and skill.

I enjoyed the trial and error. I'm always up for learning.

I use the paint in qt. Jug right out of bottle for pillow. Didn't thin.

Happy birthday you are young🎂

I bet for that pseudo pillow paint if you were to have added either golden tar gel or liquitex string gel it would make a big difference because the pillow paint always seems to be more stringy if that makes sense. Maybe if you do this again you can experiment with one of those I personally love both the tar gel and the string gel

For sure! Liquithick works as well!

This is fascinating I have done some of those. I tried golden gel gloss and us floetrol worked better than a true pm like liquitex

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I don't have that much patience. :)

I was just watching I forgot now lol that there is a try art for the pillow . I want to take the balloon cards and I see you have a link for it. I don't know if you're getting kickbacks if I use your link or not but I'm gonna give it a shot. And thanks for all you do and share with us it reallythanks.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

maybe its´s the artistloft pillow. Thank you for sharing your experiment😊

What kind of Artist loft pouring medium are you using? “Sorry I realized you used Liquitex”. I use the Artist Loft Pouring Medium & add a little water & the Artist Loft silicone. They have them right with the Artist Loft ready made pouring paint. I stated using the Artist Loft ready made paints as my pillow as well & they have been coming out great. Thank you for all your Art & experiments.

I have three children older than you are. Do you feel better now?. It is 4.30am. I will watch the rest when I wake up. ❤

Isn't Artist Loft flow white infamously known to eat colours? The one thing you didn't try to change was the pillow. Maybe using a better quality white tube paint as a pillow would have worked?

I love your videos lisa. Definitely need the special sauce.. Australian floetrol definitely made a difference. I totally wish you lived closer to California so I could paint with you. I believe we would have a blast but I mean I do feel like I know you and your family from the hundreds of videos I watch and you know nothing of me. Lol Sorry for rambling but love yah back

I watch you a lot now. I was a pen & ink artist, but I am getting older and this looks like so much fun. I have heard that you can use white glue to create cells. Do you know anything about that ?

You have stumbled on a recipe for cloud or pearl pours. The matte medium must be similar to whatever is in Decoart satin enamel.

Thanks for doing all the experimenting for us. I love watching your process. Happy birthday!! P.S. I would love it if you would zoom out a bit more so we can see more of what you are doing and the whole work space. Just a suggestion…😄

Keep on experimenting ❤ Okay once you did the cell activator, I feel better. Fulfilled. 😅 Thank you Lisa❤ Keep up the good work. This is the second time I viewed this one. I think it’s your pillow that is the cause. I have used Liquitex pouring medium in addition to the regular Behr Jo mix with some success. Do you think Shelee went through this?

My bday is Sunday, the 19th…. But I’m Much older … turning 64 yr 🤪😩😟🥺 in fact my 1st Son was born in 1975…so I was a Momma before you were born.. gosh I feel old this bday.. lol 😂 We have quite a bit of the high strung kind of constantly multitasking qualities the same…. Also that lack of wanting to measure, stay exact … lol I just Love you February Babies… Us Pisces are The Bomb!!!… just sayin lol 😍

Good experiment but something about those pants..I tried to use everything but House paint..I found only House paint work s and not all house paint work's..I truly found that if you want to achieve blooms like Shelee art and Lisa Marvin.. Follow with the recommendation for the tried and true way.. ♥️

Artist Loft I have heard is having a problem with their White paint. Iv heard it goes bad fast and smells after it has dried!🤷‍♀️

So, what we discovered was that the craft paint was inadequate for the job and to probably avoid it no matter how cheap you can buy it, it’s false economy , better to put that money towards buying decent house paint for the pillow or a better mixing medium. As I struggle to get Aussie Floetrol in the UK, I just use 1:1 Amsterdam Titanium White or Amsterdam Lamp Black paint to water and that gives me great cells . But thank you , I don’t buy craft paint any more . Those kits you get for £30 give you a taste of what’s possible but you quickly outgrow their possibilities . Research is all and things that worked yesterday may not work today . 🤷‍♀️that’s fluid art for you !

It's the artist loft paint as a pillow. It eats up the paint if you used Amsterdam i think you would have a better result

Some of us like boring, to a certain extent PLUS we like seeing experiments with cheap paints and mediums etc. Also, some of us are doing various other things while we watch so we don't need something too interesting. I am filling in with more lines a drawing I am doing.

The problem with these methods is the face is it’s more of an inconvenience adding all the different products versus just getting the house paint and flow trawl

Try swirling a squre or your finger, or swipe

I found that the liquithick additive didn't mix well- it was really hard to get rid of the lumps.

Terrific information but there is no substitute for the SheleeArt class and hours/days of practice. Even then, with all the correct ingredients, it is hard to be as consistent at the KZread stars. You are awesome to try to help but it is a choice: get the right materials if you want the right outcome. Thank you for sharing ❣️

Titanium white from liqiutex basic as the pillow maybe
