- If you're like me you LOVE blooms, but don't want the hassle and expense of experimenting with house paints. I'd much rather be able to create a similar effect with acrylic paint and mediums I already have on hand. So I put my analytical brain to work experimenting with different paint brands, thicknesses, and additives as well as different blowing and stretching techniques. The result is this tutorial which I hope will allow you to achieve consistent success with you no house paint bloom goals. Scroll down for mixing ratios. Thanks for watching!

Ingredients:
*Medium Body Acrylic Paint such as Liquitex Basics or Artists Loft (Michael's Brand)
*Floetrol
*Elmers Glue-All (I've heard Elmers School Glue works as well)
Mixing Ratios
Base Paint and Colours: 1 part paint: 1 part Floetrol: 1 part water
Cell Activator: 1 part titanium white*: 1 part Elmers Glue-All water 70/30 mix: 1/2 part water..... paper test thicknesses and adjust until base and colours are all equal and cell activator is slightly thinner
*while I've found this ration will work with most brands of paint, I do recommend using a Titanium White for the cell activator. Titanium white is one of the heaviest pigments and more likely to produce a reaction
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’ve watched dozens of others that require buying a ton of products that I wouldn’t use otherwise so I had finally decided to give up on creating bloom-type pours and then I saw this. I have everything on hand so I, of course, immediately went to try it out and it worked! Best tutorial I’ve seen!
Wonderfully clear information. Thanks!
A lot of artists sell and get sponsored to sell products so it makes it confusing to people on what products to use. And they think they have to go out and purchase hundreds of dollars worth of products. Thank you for telling people you don’t need these expensive products.
You’re a fabulous teacher! Thank you for sharing this with us newbies!! ❤️
Awe 🥰 thank you! Appreciate that! Let me know how it goes if you end up trying it!
Thank you, you the only one who said the wait time before spinning it out. ❤
Best, clearest, tutorial I have seen so far, and I've watched many. Thank you.
Thank you for an excellent tutorial! It is clear and easy to follow, covering all the steps with just the necessary talking.
Of so many videos I’ve watched, this is the first time someone mentions the need to wait for the paint to rest and why.
Haven’t tried it yet but soon will.
Looks beautiful!
thank you so much for going slow. I’m very new at this and it’s so confusing and I’ve gone through so many supplies and it’s mind-boggling and costly. I didn’t know that I should let it sit for that 15 to 20 minutes. I’m going to try that excellent tip. Thank you so much and your blooms are gorgeous by the way.
I love how easy this is and you don’t need complicated recipes to get the same results! Thank you for sharing your tips & tricks ❤
Very good tutorial. I will share this with my online paint pouring friends. Thank so much!
Thank you for sharing , the first best detailed and beautiful video that i've ever seen ❤❤❤ . Just subscribed
The best advice I have ever had for bloom pours. It actually worked for me! BTW, thanks for making this available without having to pay for a course!
Thank you so much, clearly explained, I can't wait to try it! Beautiful work.
Thank you! 🥰 Love to know how it works for you!
Thank you for this. I have been looking for pours that didn’t use house paint. The house paint and varnish just makes it too expensive for me and too confusing. Loved your results!
You are Absolutely Amazing! Thank you so much for this information! ❤️
Thank you so much! 🥰 Glad you found it helpful and I'd love to know how it goes if you try it!
Great info, very pretty 🤩 thanks so much for sharing ❤
Thank you! Appreciate it! Love to know how it goes if you end up trying it! 🙂
Excellent 😊
Thanks - Big help ❤️😍🇩🇰
Thank you because my blooms are hit and miss after several years and I am tired of the mess that house paint makes.
Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Thanks for watching! Love to know how it goes if end up trying it! ☺
I can't believe i finally found someone that explains this in lamens' terms. But i don't understand why you need a cell activater and floetrol, which i thought was a cell activater .please help. i dont understand. Just subscribed. Thank you 😊
Again.. Thank you for a great tutorial!
I have the exact same puppy pool and it fits on my art table. I put black thick plastic in it for easy clean up.
Love it thank you thank you for explaining this process. It’s excellent.
Thank you for this!
To clarify:
For your cell activator
70% glue all 30% water and then u add more water????
Great video! Thank you so much!
Hi, thanks for this tutorial. I'm hoping to try it out soon. The cell activator, is it just glue and water? Is there any oil product mixed with it? Are you still painting? Will you be uploading any videos in the future? Hope you are well.
I've been having so much trouble with blooms lately I'm new to blooms
Aqui não temos o Floetrol
Usi cila branca e verniz para fazer o medium
Acrescento tinta esmalte à base de água para o travesseiro
Muito difícil obter as células 😢
Just wonder how you would use TLP and other pigments with this new/different bloom recipe
I'm not sure, I'm afraid. Pigment powders are something I have yet to delve into! 😅
Can you make the cell activator without the glue all,I have Floetrol and I have silicone drops but I haven’t started making anything yet?
Is there something I dpcan do to eliminate all those tiny white dots?
Where do people put ink in their CA? I haven't seen that.
Easy recipe.
Thank you! What is more cost effective… the house paint or the base paint you are using?
Thank you for sharing!
Hmmmm, well, I guess ounce for ounce you might be able to get house paint cheaper. I guess when I mentioned expense I was more referring to the expense in wasted product trying to find a mixture that worked in a medium I'm not familiar with. I was more interested in creating a recipe that worked with paints and mediums that I already had on hand, not necessarily that it would be the cheapest way to create a bloom.
What's in your cell activator?
I’m not getting why people use acrylic ink to their CA . ?? Isn’t paint good enough if using glue or silicone oil ??
I have not done one yet-still studying the methods, but is using house paint method a more glossy finish?
I don't think the finish is more glossy with house paint once dry. You'll notice that most people who create blooms, either with house paint or just acrylic, often finish with a topcoat of resin to add back the depth, sparkle, and glossiness the paint has while wet. I think the house paint can create a more dramatic effect IF and it's a big IF you can find brands and ratios that actually work. It takes a lot trial and error and can result in a lot of money wasted on house paint and sealers that might not end up working.
Can you please clarify the cell activator formula? What part paint ? What part Elmer's glue all? What part water? I'm really hoping I can reproduce (atleast a little) your results.
Sure, so if you look in the video description the way I mix it is... before I start mixing the cell activator I dilute my Elmer's Glue all at a ratio of 70% glue to 30% water and mix well. This is a standard mix for people who use Glue-All as a medium and I always have some of it mixed up and on hand. For the cell activator I mix at a ratio of 1 part paint: 1 part Elmers Glue-All medium (already diluted 70:30 as mentioned above): to a 1/2 part of water. So in other words if I used 2 ounces of paint I would add 2 ounces of Glue-All medium and 1 ounce of water. I then test my thicknesses on paper and add water to the cell activator bit by bit until it is slightly thinner than the base and colours. Hope this helps! Love to know how it goes for you! ☺
@@studioteal2552 it helps a lot, thank you. I have not used Glue All before. I've just used plain Elmer's glue, wonder if they are the same. Your video was great, especially the thickness test!!
@@CathieRichardson9802 Not sure if they are the same. In Canada we can get Elmers Glue-All and Elmers School Glue. As far as know, both work.

Where did you find the puppy pen? Are you in the US? I only see the metal or plastic ones.
I found it on Amazon. I'm not in the US though, Canada
Look for pools, not pens.
