- Fluid Art Blooms: Australian Floetrol vs. US Floetrol vs. Amsterdam Paint vs. Wood Conditioner
Everyone asked for a video for the differences in floetrol and the different bases of cell activator. My favorite honestly is the paint and water by amsterdam. I am so glad i did this paint/art experiment to determine this. It now give me another experiment to do on a round board to see if large scale the amsterdam paint and water reacts the same. So much love to you all for the support. Happy painting!
The colors are a mixture of floetrol, gac800, and gloss medium and varnish 50/30/20% thats my regular pouring medium
original bloom technique: shelee art: www.sheleeart.com
Canvas is 4.25 in tiles
Floetrol US: mixed 1:1:25 paint to pouring medium
then i added 3 drops of wood conditioner to the US version
Floetrol Australia: mixed 1:1 paint to pouring medium
Amsterdam: 18 grams paint, 7 grams water

Hope you enjoy the video! Thank you so much for watching. Happy painting!
I am so happy that I found acrylic pouring/fluid art a few years ago. It has helped me in so many ways and it just keeps getting better and better. This visual arts creative outlet has made me so happy. I am loving this abstract art! I hope to keep doing this for years to come! I have always been fascinated by modern and contemporary art. There is something about it that is so freeing and expressive. I love acrylic pouring because I get to experiment and really join the creative side of my brain with the scientific part! There are so many different fluid acrylic pouring techniques out there, so much more to try and have fun with. Make sure you are subscribed to my channel so that you may learn and be creative with me. I love hearing all of your comments.

Hope you guys found this one useful! Just a raw video of the comparisons of the different cell activator ingredients. Maybe next year I will learn how to pronounce floetrol 🤣🤣🤣. As always, happy painting! ❤❤❤
MOLLY'S ARTISTRY looking to buy the last one you used Amsterdam I don’t know where to find it
@@cynthiaelder it was just a little tile! I didn't post it for sale!
MOLLY'S ARTISTRY No I need to know how to buy the product called Amsterdam that you use in place of flow trawl?
@@cynthiaelder no, amsterdam is a brand of paint
Oh ok just looking to get better cell results and of course order on line can you forward me your complete recipe ?
The Amsterdam & Water is awesome! Thank you so much for doing this experiment, you have made it affordable and have the same if not better then the Shelee technique. I truly appreciate all the experiments you have done for us, as many cannot afford to do these experiments, thank you Molly.
I'm not sure if I've misunderstood, but despite the cell activator now only needing to be Amsterdam plus water, don't you _still_ need all the mixing paraphernalia products, because you still have to create a Pouring Medium to dilute the paints before you even start? PM needs Floetrol, GAC800, gloss medium, varnish etc, yes...?
The cell activator bit is relatively tiny compared to the volume of PM needed for each pour.
As I say, it's possible I've missed something important en route here, but I'm relatively new to this, and still trying to understand it all! 🤗
13:59 Hi Molly, the Amsterdam white and water is just the cell activator and a process separate from thinning your paints for a pour? The thinning of the paint is done separately using what ever recipe one uses as a pouring medium, such as Floetrol, varnish, GAC 800or whatever a person uses to thin paint? Thank you for the lesson it’s easy to see what cell activator works best!
Thanks so much for this analysis. Believe it or not just today I was in my studio experimenting with additives to the American floetrol in order to get the same results as the Australian floetrol, because I can't in good conscience keep paying such exorbitant amounts for this bloom gold. The minwax is okay, but not exactly the same effect. Now the water and Amsterdam white?! Wow! I'm getting out of bed right now to go try it. Invaluable info!!! Thanks! ❤️
The Amsterdam paints and water was the prettiest by far. This is such a challenging technique. Thank you for sharing your talent ❤️💕. Stay well
This was incredibly helpful to see the side by side comparison! I've been reticent to try the bloom recipes I've seen because of the sheer numbers of specific ingredients required, so this video gives me hope!!!
Wow, I think you just broke my brain. I would have never thought to try just the paint and water. I just spent a month convincing my husband to be ok with ordering the Australian floetrol, so I am very happy that you did this! You Rock!! Hope you are staying cool down there on the surface of the sun! Stay safe!
Thank you Molly. Love that you teach us new pourers all you can.
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I am probably much like everyone else who stumbled upon this art form and then fumbled for a month or so with recipes to make the ingredients react a certain way to produce the coveted cells, buying a bunch of stuff . Trying to find one recipe by sifting through all of the visual material available is time consuming and while every video I watched provided more ideas I just wanted a base point to start at, a constant, something to turn to when nothing I experimented with that day worked. Your video summed up the basics of how to repeatedly produce pouring medium and activator combo from fairly common ingredients that will do the same thing every time. I took the course after the fact but you were the little light bulb that initially went on in my head with your technique. Thank you
Hi Molly & thanks for this tutorial. It took me several months to finally figure out that there are three different mixing methods & ratios per each painting.
-base pillow paint
-cell activator
-colored paints
That would be so helpful if you did a video on explaining which each one does what & how along with a precise recipes for each individual phase of the process. Just an idea that would be very helpful in separating those three components.
That would, indeed, be great.
Agreed ... Hail!
It took me many many months to finally get that as well!
Great demonstration, but confused on recipes.
Did you add titanium white to the 1st 2 demos?
Love your talent and how helpful your are to your viewers. Keep up the lessons for us beginners.
What a fabulous video! Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and do these for us to learn!
Yes Molly! That was very very helpful who knew huh? 😀❤️👍
Wow! Cosmic! I got my paints. I got my canvases, blow dryer, torch, dollar store stuff, apron, puppy pads, and floor tarp. Everything but my medium. Well done Molly! You saved me ! You’ve given me a medium ! I love it! Thank you ! I’m ready to start painting. I have Amsterdam paints including white! WooHoo
This is just the cell activator though, isn't it? Rather than the medium used to dilute the paints, which we'd still need to get. Looking at Molly's description box, she's still using Floetrol, GAC800, gloss medium, and varnish in her Pouring Medium for all these examples, no? 🥴
You made my day laughing…
This definitely was an awesome experiment Molly! Look how easy was for you to create cells, actually with all of them! I loved the Aussie mix and the last with Water & Amsterdam. I guess it doesn't matter how you mixed your paints since the cell activator was what created the Shelee Bloom! Fabulous! Thank you so much Molly! You're the bomb! 😁Keep well dear Molly! 🙏Love you, 😊Bunny🐇💗😍 P.S. They were beautiful...as usual!
Thank you for all you share, Molly! Like you, I'm in love with the Amsterdam effects. Very interesting to see how they all differ. Take care! ❤
I love 3 and 4. Those cells are beautiful and the colors that come out! Thanks for sharing and explaining!
So next experiment, it would be interesting to know the difference in results using Amsterdam and water, golden and water, Liquitex and water, house paint and water.
What if you did a experiment with tap water, boiled water, hot water and a weary expensive bottle water. Thanks again for your tutorial videos 🙏🏽🤗
Thank you Molly, I have been experimenting for a year and you solved my problem in 15 minutes!!!😉
so glad!
Molly, thank you sooo much for the comparison video for the bloom pours. Haven't tried them yet, but after watching your video I am anxious to try them. Sooo very helpful, thanks again.
Thanks for doing this experiment - very different reactions with each combo. All 4 had something really nice about them!
The last two were my favorites and I really love the veining and cell action on them
This answered many questions I had - thank you for posting this experiment.
Molly, thank you, great demonstration of the different techniques. The water mix is my favorite. I love the colors showing. 😊
Thank you for this. Total game changer! Who knew! This changed my CA forever, or at least for the foreseeable future. Thanks Molly!
Thank you 🙏🏼 I haven’t wanted to invest in this technique but now I can play! 💙
I love the Australian flotrol one and the last one best. I love all the webbing and lacing. ❤ thanks for comparing them all, it really does help.
Thanks for sharing this!
Molly I’m so happy I found this tutorial! It was very helpful.
I love your work and I’m thank full for all your help.
#4 for the win! Love the tutorials, Molly. Thanks!
I may have to start doing these again. This video is awesome-sauce!
Very interesting and thank you for including Australia. I wish we could get the same paints as you have in the US. Not surprising I will vote for the third one 🇦🇺👍🎨😊
Yeah .. me too; tried to be objective. I was really weirded out that American Floetrol and Australian Floetrol are so different.
Definitely helpful!! Thank you so much for showing all 4!
Thank you Molly !! Your videos are so educational and doing these comparison helps so much to decide which to buy. The amsterdam is also my favorite!!💕😍
Thanks for the instructional video, as always Molly. I usually paint with the Rinske model of Amsterdam or W-N paints just mixed with water and/or with water and a little Floetrol. Have you tried all the paints mixed with your medium mixture vs mixed with water? Would be interested in a video that shows the differences.
Thank you Molly!! It definitely shows the differences between them all - Do all know if all the Amsterdam paints react that way or just the white?.... thank you for all your clips - love watching them
That's a good question and one I was wondering about too.
You can try it. Doesn,t cost you much. Just make litle flowers and blow them out.
I love that you do these tests and show us beginners. Thank you so very much.
I'm from Australia so I'm a little parcial to our Floetrol, however I do like the Amsterdam one also.
This HELPED me so much! I’m new to pour painting and I tried watching a few other videos about cell activators but your style sticks with me. I probably had a teacher like you, plus you HaVe the Product in front of each tile the whole time. 🤓💗🎨
Great experiment! Will definitely try without the Aussie Floetrol because...$$$! The bleeding you mentioned is desirable though-the watercolor effect-it looks amazing dry!
Thank you Karen! Let me know what you find. I know you have the aussie, try with just the amsterdam amd water, keep it thick and let me know. I have no doubt you will.come up with something gorgeous as you always do!
Been testing too. Autralian Floetrol not being available, the ususal Floetrol being very expensive here in the Netherlands, the most logical choice for me was Amsterdam & water. Gave great results. Thanks for your experiments, Molly. Love watching you :-) Stay healthy!
the Shelly mix Australian floetrol with amsterdam titanium white so your getting a mix of 3 and 4
I’m so glad I found this video! I would love to try the bloom technique but when I saw the recipes some North American artists use because we don’t have Australian Floetrol my reaction was best summed up as 😳. I stopped taking notes about half way through their videos! My professional career was spent working in a lab. This is supposed to be a leisure retirement hobby not more lab work! Now I know I can give this a try without stressing about obtaining some 7 different ingredients! Thank you so much.
My favorite is amsterdam & water!!! Amazing! Thanks for sharing your experiment! ❤️
Molly...Molly...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS. I only had Amsterdam Sky Blue ...and it worked. I am done with all the other products. I love all your help. Thank you soooo much
That is awesome, glad it helped!
Thanks Molly!!! Now I can use up my hundreds of dollars of supplies and become a little more frugal... love 💕 that!! The first one has a snake 🐍 head in it!! Lol 😂
These all look great! Do you mix the paint and add floetrol on top or not
The paint in the ring pour is my regular medium. The white paint is just amsterdam white with each of the 4 types stirred in, ratios are below the video in the description. Just stirred in together
I'm glad you asked, cause from the video I was not aware that there was white paint involved, since Floetrol is white too.
@@ValeriePallaoro i explained it at the very beginning, its amsterdam white mixed in with each of the pouring mediums used. Sorry if that was confusing !
@@MOLLYSARTISTRY hi Molly ...please could you tell me if you use Amsterdam Titanium White or Amsterdam Zinc White with your mediums, specially for the water experiment . Many thanks in advance 😊
I have just been watching everyone with these blooms and haven't tried it. I love your Amsterdam solution!
Thank you so much Molly!! The Amsterdam and water worked perfectly!
I'm going to give up my floetrol for water. Lol I'm going sober lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's funny...I'm jumping on the wagon too! lol
Thank you Molly for the great explanations on the "bloom" technique.
I love the 4th and 3rd pour. This was very informative. Thank you for posting.
Hi Molly ... I watched you on Instagram and now here. Thank you soo much for doing this experiment. I do like the Australian Floe but honestly for the money I like your Amsterdam pour! What a shock! It looks great!
Great teaching ! Loved the Amsterdam and water . Thank you
Thanks for the experiment! Loved the comparison. Last 2 were the best.
I am brand new to this type of painting and this is probably one of the most informative videos I have found!! Thank you!
I can't thank you enough. The Amsterdam paint works fantastic!! Thank you... thank you.
Great video, Molly! I'm learning a lot from you and really enjoy watching!
Thank you so much for all that you share with us. Beginning a newbie I surely didn't want to pay the price of Australian floetrol. You really make it so enjoyable watching your videos and they are so informative, so again Thank You
Whoa!!! That was amazing! Specially the last one with Amsterdam plus water! Thanks a lot for sharing this!
you are so welcome!
I definitely love the last 2... Thank you so much for sharing this video with us, and this is going to be very helpful when I purchase my paints... Blessings and be safe 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome, informative demonstration. Thank you Molly!
Molly, found this EXTREEEEMEEELY helpful, I honestly don't want to have to buy so many different products to "try" this technique, for making a "pillow" then "ca", there are so many videos on this and they're all different in one way or another, Thank you, Thank you for doing what you do, I'm feeling more confident in trying this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm ready to get started. I'll be using Amsterdam pearl and water for my first ever attempt. Excited, nervous, HAPPY!
wonderful!
Amsterdam is my favorite!!! Great job molly and thanks for showing us with different results how it all works and use whichever you have !! Thanks sweetie
Molly I totally agree. Number 4 is the best one. I love it. So so much better then the others ones. Thank you for sharing. Very educational. Good job girl.
Thanks Molly! I love the Amsterdam paint tile the best.
Amsterdam has my vote. Thank you so much Molly. I love your paintings. You are great.
Love your channel! Been really getting into pour painting and you and Olga Solby have been the perfect teachers for every step of the way! Your art is amazing btw! Thank you for sharing and always teaching and inspiring! 💜🖼

Totally agree! Olga and Molly are the best. Thank yo so much!
Thank you, Molly, I like that you do this and it helps me decide what I want to get next.
Thanks, Molly, that was really helpful!! Appreciate your info sessions but really LOVE your paintings!!!❤️🌷
Wow! Great tutorial. I have never been interested in trying the bloom because of all the expense. Maybe now I can change my mind! Thank you so much!
Molly, that's my first comment over multiple hours of watching your videos and tutorials.. and i want To thank you a lot for all the help in learning fluidart ! Also I think your one of the best explaning everything in such details that we are able to REALLY understand what we are doing and looking for... so thanks again 🙏
Yesterday I made my first gorgeous and controlled swipe thanks to you and Olga ! 💜🧡💛💚

Hi Molly
What an informational presentation. That's a mouthful.LOL The Australian and Amsterdam pieces are my favorites. The lacing and colors are so much more prominent. Great video. Leta👌👌👌
Thank you!
Thank you for this video! So helpful! Love that last one!
Molly, this is a game changer, can save potentially LOTS of $$, thanks for sharing!
I love the look of #4 best. Fascinating to see the differences between the media.
Definitely helpful.think I’ll make coaster as Xmas gifts now👏🏻👏🏻
SO INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL.
THANKS MOLLY!!
I love the same one you do! The corner of that first one is awesome. Those lines are beautiful.
Good evening, Molly. Nice video. #3 is my favorite. Have a wonderful evening 💚
I love 3 and 4....😍💞
Thank you for giving us such great tips...blessings Molly.!! ☺🎶🎹
Great vid Molly. Certainly explains a lot and I really do like the Amsterdam blow out the best. Super job. Hugs :)
Really learned a lot and verrrrrry much want some Amsterdam paint! I'd just purchased a small can of the Minwax wood conditioner today.
Thank you for your videos! Just started painting again a couple of months ago and have fallen hopelessly in love with fluid art!
Thank you so much! I enjoy learning from you and appreciate your help with my own painting journey!
You are so welcome!
Nice comparison. Thanks for doing it for us!
WOW! Molly so helpful and would save bundles of money. Thanks so much for your info. and trying the different test!!!
The colours are gorgeous! I like the Australian Floetrol and the Amsterdam and water ones best.
Thanks for sharing and the last one was definitely best!
Thank you for this Miss Molly!! It did help alot!
That was great info Molly ty so much for taking the and effort. Helps a lot ❤
Really interesting Molly, you comparison really does save me frustration and $'s - thank you!!
Amazing! Thanks for the tests!!!
Very interesting test. Had never seen anyone do a straight pour and then blow it. Bravo for you for doing it.
This was sooo helpful! I'm glad to have stumbled upon this video. Thank you!
I loved this experiment! I liked all of them but will use the Amsterdam paint, best one I thought, too!
Omg thank you so much! I love the Amsterdam 😍. I use Floetrol now and I get so good cells but not like that. You are amazing and so talented and so helpful. Nothing but respect for you that you help others try and improve themselves and figure things out. 💕
thank you so much!
I am based in the UK Ihave watched so many videos so many ingredients and got totally confused. The activator is my biggest fear and this has been so helpful. Thankyou 👍😁
Hey Molly, I'm new to all this and jumping from one technique to the next. I LOVE the blooms but it is so hard to get anything off the shelf here in Puerto Rico and Amazon takes 6 weeks to deliver. I saw this video after days of hitting ALL the local hardware and paint shops. Thank you so much. I know this is supposed to be fun but the wild goose chase was bringing me down. You saved the day. Much love, prosperity, and good health to you my dear. You are a Godsend.
That's great Michelle, I hope it helps!
This is the most informational video I’ve ever found thank you so much .
They are all super cool!!! But I’m tied between the last two!! I love the way all the colors popped in the last one though!! ❤️❤️❤️
I would never have known about Amsterdam pouring medium if it weren’t for you Molly. Thank you so much.
What I used there was amsterdam titanium white and water, but yes they make a pm too! ❤
Thanks! This helped me, a SUPER green rookie just tryna find an enjoyable hobby, soooo very much! I love your videos. Thanks for all of them. You do beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
👍🏼🥰this demonstration is awesome, they're all so beautiful❤️ my total favorite is #4, but I really like #1 & #3 very much too😍thanks Molly, you have inspired me to try this cool technique😊😎
Super excited to have seen this as I was browsing your channel, I love the Amsterdam & water, it’s basic, accessible and less expensive added bonus I don’t have to play mad scientist and get frustrated, , it’s so confusing sometimes, thickness, pillow, ca, little cups....that’s why I stick to easier pour techniques but here you’ve done it for us. Thank you so so much.
