#pigments #fluidart #bloomtechnique
Hi all! The Fluid Art Co is getting ready to release some new pigment colors on October 13, and I got my hands on a few of their new colors! Today's video will highlight the beauty of Billabong and Wild Atlantic; both of which played beautifully with Golden's Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold and Iridescent Gold Bright. I also used some Golden Titan Green Pale, which I initially poo-poo'ed but boy was I wrong! The color accentuated the rest perfectly! I'm so taken with this color scheme and these pigments that this will be a series--I have two more videos (each better than the last in my opinion) and I might do a fourth! I'm also using a 12x24 canvas! I haven't used this size since I moved out of my kitchen in January! It's a little tricky doing the bloom technique on a canvas that is long and narrow as you don't want it to look too leggy, but I think I pulled it off!

THE RECIPE:
House Paint-base aka puddle for the substrate: PPG Multi-Pro in Satin at Home Depot.
Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator:
Behr 8300 Untinted Deep Base Paint (Home Depot); and Valspar High Gloss Ultra Base C Untinted base (Lowe's). 50/50. Mix well. NO varnish added!
Use the colors of your choice! These tutorials are meant to educate and inspire! Here's how to mix:
Pigments: For a 3 oz cup I add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of pigment powder to the cup, then add enough gloss varnish (any brand; I use JoSonja gloss varnish) to cover the powder. Mix well until all pigment is thoroughly wet; then add the pouring medium.
Golden, Atelier, and Da Vinci Fluid Acrylics: I put about 2-2 1/2 ounces of the pouring medium into a 3 ounce cup, then squirt in color until I reach my desired shade. Mix well.
For tube paint, I added an ounce of paint (heaping tablespoon) to a 3 ounce cup, then added 2 ounces of pouring medium. If still thick I add a squirt of Golden's High Flow Medium (thins and extends acrylic colors) and stir well. All pigments are 1/8th tsp. pre-disbursed with a small amount of JoSonja Varnish to wet it (stir really well), then add into a 3 oz. cup of Pouring Medium; stir well.
Cell Activator/Color: Australian Floetrol + Amsterdam Deep Gold. 3:1 Floetrol to paint.
MY SUPPLIES:
Varnish: Golden Gloss Archival Varnish Spray can version
