First:  BIG NEWS!  The Fluid Art Boutique (FAB) is back!  This time we're headed to the Southwest to Santa Fe, New Mexico, April 1 - 3, 2023!  We have two new guest artists joining us; both very talented!  Check out @JMoPainting (Johnny Morrison) and @CrystalCoastOriginals (Amanda Edwards).  New lower pricing and the venue is amazing!  Hope to see you there!  You can sign up for classes at https://www.fluidartboutique.com

It's the end of an era.  After nearly 4 years of filming in my kitchen, I finally rented my own art studio!  I've been busy with the build-out and hope to give you the tour in the next video for breaking it in and getting messy!  For this video I had to cobble together a few remaining paint colors left at home, and was forced to use my personal hairdryer to blow out the blooms.  It was a bit of a disaster and have nearly 3 hours I only had two small pieces of art to show for its.  The green round is super pretty though and fun to paint in my kitchen one last time.  Let me know what you think!  Cheers, Karen

*************************************************************
Colors/Brands/Pouring Medium Recipe:

House Paint-base aka puddle for the substrate:

PPG Multi-Pro in Eggshell.

Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator:

Behr 8300 Untinted Deep Base Paint (Home Depot); JoSonja Gloss Varnish 3:2 ratio paint to varnish.  Mix well.

Brands/Colors mixed:

Golden Fluid Acrylics in Phthalo Blue, Phthalo Turquoise, Iridescent Bright Gold, and Teal.

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 then I'll add a teaspoon of varnish/water to thin.  (I make a bottle of "Jo-Wa" by adding 1/3 JoSonja Gloss Varnish and the rest water, and keep it in a squeeze bottle and use as my "water.")

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 Lamp Black and Amsterdam Grayish Blue.  Approximately 3:1 ratio Floetrol to paint.
