If you enjoyed this video my Shelee Bloom hack video will knock your socks off: • Shelee Art BLOOM HACK!...
Pillow: PPG MultiPro in Satin and Pastel White (Home Depot)
Pouring Medium 1 : PPG Timeless has been replaced with the PPG (Base 3) Breakthrough
1.5 Ounces of Pouring Medium +
Half Jo Sonja gloss varnish and american floetrol (.5 ounce total) +

1.5 Ounces of Valspar (straight from the can)
.5 Ounce of American Floetrol

You are more than welcome! I can't wait to see what you will create.
@@GarrickBrownArtStudio Hi Garrick!! I can't share my paintings with you because I don't have a channel and I'm not on any social networks by choice. 😉 My sales are made in an end-of-life center. They display my works, fluid art and bloom. The center is private and collects donations to continue to exist. They are so full of Love in this place ❤️❤️❤️ so I give them half the price of the painting sold in exchange for me being able to exhibit. 🙏 I sold around 40 paintings in 2 years. Big and small. I'm happy that people like this type of art which is almost unknown in Quebec.
Hey my friend I just love love love your tutorials you are definitely in my top three favorites to watch, plus that beautiful soul of yours you always know how to lift people up and your work is just completely amazing you really have inspired me so much!

Thank you Garrick for your recipes and tips and you made beautiful blooms. I enjoy these type of videos. It’s so helpful. ❤
Thanks for watching friend. ❤
Wow you were so right about that Golden ...I like t.
Golden is super pricey but the product is so intense and pigmented... Sometime we just have to splurge every now and again.
I have only just found your channel and am blown away with how easy you make it seem. I wached your process and will attempt to blow out a little differently, by blowing the middle out well first. I tend not to do that. Unfortunately, I live on one of those little islands where Floetrol is unobtainable. They will not send it and nobody here supplies it...yet. So, glue/water is my only option but I can get good results. Thank you for this video, I will apply it to my art and let you know! P.S. You are an inspiration!!
Yes I would love to see your results. Thanks for stopping by!
What a terrific video, Garrick! Packed full of helpful info and entertaining as well...you had me laughing aloud at times. Love you, buddy. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it and could laugh some. Makes the editing worth it lol

Hey!!! How are you? I hope you are feeling better!
Very nice video. Step by step and also the first I heard say house paint is not necessary. You make pouring videos fun to watch. Love it. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤
You are more than welcome! House paint is great but not necessary forsure.
Man I'm all about that thick deep base as a PM since Seattle. and this just seals the deal for me even more. I bet the ppg deep base and the satin play well together, too! Also, so jelly of your QNAG, I'm about to go black market for that stuff. I LOOOVE the way it thins out and gives so much depth!
Did you ever find is QNAG? If not I will see if I have a little tube I can send you.
I’m going to try this recipe today! I’m struggling with consistency. Yours seems more fluid than others I’ve seen. What dose it mean if you don’t get the halo?
I just bought a gallon of the PPG multipro eggshell and Behr 7300 deep base. I will try these with the same exact colors and compare. I definitely will consider buying your specific recommendations next time. Do you have a definite favorite between the 1st & 2nd PM recipe? Absolutely love that first bloom❤️
Love them both Kathy! Right now i'm just mixing them because i have made so many small batches for content creation and commissions.
Garric in minut 2:35 you mix paint and flouritrol ( but you do it like normal part of pouring mix and minute 9:38 you do the same but you say it will be your activator , what is the difference? Or both will do cells as activator ? 🤔🥴 very confused for me 😢 please can you detail it for me! Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 ❤
On you cell active can you use American floetrol
How do you stir up you pillow so it’s blended before using it?
Great video. I always use Artist Loft mixed with Liquitex pm instead of US Floetrol (mainly bcuz at the time I was trying out the AL for the pillow I was out of US Floe so I used Liquitex) & I've just stuck with that ever since. How you blow the CA definitely has everything to do with the outcome, whether using AL or house paint, always best to blow the CA "across" the colors to avoid the CA & colors trying to hang onto their comfy pillow & dragging it with them. Lol 😂😂 (that's how I think of it in my mind) lol like trying to get a little kid out of bed in the morning !! 😂 I personally ONLY use that World's Smallest Blower & found some AMAZING Nozzle attachments that were designed & created by another Artist (Tracie Reed) specifically for that blower & creating Blooms & it creates the perfect "Petal" design & it super easy to maneuver to perfectly blow the CA over the colors. Great results every single time. !! Thanks for sharing your experiments & results !! 😊😊
Thanks so much for watching. I could never get the little hair dryer to work the way I like it but you are correct we all have to find our own way and try different things!
@GarrickBrownArtStudio Have you tried that Worlds Smallest Blower thing itself, what actually makes it as great to use for Blooms as it is, are the attachment nozzles created by Tracie Reed, they make the airflow so much better & help to create perfect petal shapes. Works great for smaller blow out techniques also. The only things I would say it excellent for using is for Blooms & blowing computer keyborads to get any crap from between the keys. It's too small to be effective enough for any other uses that I know of. Much much smaller/compact than even the smallest travel hair dryer. 😊😊
Hi Garrick, Love your videos! I have a couple of questions… where do you buy Australian Floetrol. Also are those round palettes made of canvas and what are you using as a spinner? Thanks so much! Harriet M
Hey Harriet! Australian Floetrol can be bought at Fluid Art Co or Pixel Paint Designs. My discount code is in the video for the Pixel. My spinner is a metal cake spinner ... also a link in my video to it. Worth every penny!!! My round canvases come from a couple different places.
Hi Garrick!! Thank you so much for this video!! The blooms can be very tricky and frustrating but when you finally get them it’s amazing. I just went to my store here in Canada to get a can of PPG breakthrough in satin base 3 and it was 180$! Is it that expensive in the states?
WOW!! That is expensive. One gallon here is about $50 bucks!
So is this in place of the bear 8300 and it just Sonya recipe? Thanks and appreciate this video you're putting on for us.😊😊
Yes it is, well alternative is a better word. ❤
Garric where you buy this covers plastic red for your can paints?
Lowes and home depot ❤

The cell activator consistency looks the same as the paints. How much thinner should it be? I am struggling to get cells in my bloom and I am using Australian floetrol
The CA should be considerably thinner friend. Very short mound and should completely disappear.
Great tutorial my friend, love the lacing and the color. Did you fire Hilda again? 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching Lillian! Noooo not yet though Hilda is a trip already and hasn't been back a whole month.
Hey, Garrick! Love watching your videos, and I take lots of notes. One thing I would love to hear each time, though, are both the brand and the name of each and every paint color. Are the blues in the last two: Golden's Teal, Cerulean Blue, and Turquoise Blue? I don't have enough experience yet to know all of the many blues, and each maker seems to give its own name to things. If you have time for a reply, I'd love to know the maker and the name of those 3 blues (I think you only added Payne's Grey to the first bloom, and I've now watched so many of your videos, I'm not sure if you didn't also say that the blues were all from Golden....I'll have to review my notes!). Thanks ever so much!!! Susan H.
Hey Susan!!! Just seeing this but I gotchu in some future videos. Thanks for watching love. ❤
🤙🏽
Really beautiful. 😊
Thank you Lee!
Hi Garrick. Can you tell me what josanyo is? I’m a newbie struggling to get cells going with my paints and I am unfamiliar with this product. I looked online and there’s a lot of items by josanyo but it would be great if you could tell me what you used in this video. Thank you
Hey! Generally people are referring to the green label gloss varnish. What recipe are you using? Its notnalways neccessary.
Where is a good site to find that blow dryer???
Heyyy this is the one I used in the video: My BabyBliss hairdryer (small and powerful) amzn.to/43WqPK2
Dear Garrick, what is the ppg and valspar in Europe? Because I do not know. thank you very much.
Unfortunately I don't have a ton of experience with European products but to guide you you want an untinted base C or D or 3 or 4. It should dry clearish. Start with a couple sample jars and test.
Wait a minute how is it not going to be the exact same comparison if the paint brands are not the same?? I’m asking because I’m new to this and it didn’t make sense but then again maybe it doesn’t matter. Please let me understand so I can learn.😊❤ Thank you.
I'm confused. 😢 I heard you say 1 1/2 oz of pm but you're scooping from the base can of primer. Then 1/2 of josanja, floetrol and paint and that should add up to 2 ounces of pm. Please help
The recipe is in the description love. 2 ounces of paint in total then add your tube paint.
I only have owatrol floetrol and my results are terrible!
Owatrol takes a little bit of work to get to work. It is thick so thinning down will help.
beautiful.... but I wish someone actually made a video with products that you can actually buy in central Europe! None of the ones mentioned in the videos I like are available around here and I'm not paying double the price of the products extra for shipping + taxes
Unfortunately, since I am across the pond I have the same issues you have getting products available to you to me. Are there any artist in Europe on KZhead that could point you in the right direction?
I'm just to tired and poor to go out and buy even MORE house paint ! Stuff ain't cheap. So far, none the recipes have worked. I think I'll go back to the original acrylic paint pouring. This is getting to be WAY TO MUCH. Thanks Garrick , you a true gentleman.
Audrey hey there! Don't get frustrated. What paints do you have? You probably have something that will work! I have tried several brands. Let me know hun. Most brands will work around the same recipe. Use tube paints to start.
😢😢 It's based on American products not possible to find or extremely expensive here 😭😭😭😭😭
