Hello evryone. I used to do faux finishing. What I learned from him saved me a lot of grief. I'm going to share my Grandfather's tip when it comes to stirring and turning the paint. He was a painter and never ever used a drop cloth or roller. 1. When you buy house paint store the can upside down before and after opening. When the oils or other additives separate its at the bottom of the can. Slowly turn the can upright. ( it prevents bubbles ) . 2. Instead of stirring roll the can back and forth slowly and evenly as far as your arm reach about ten times. This is easier than folding not stirring the paint. Folding without breaking the surface of the paint thereby creating bubbles takes practice. Hope this helps and happy painting !!

Every house paint works differently. The reason most of us use it, is that it is economical. I use the PPG multi pro or Sherwin Williams because it’s economical and it doesn’t leave the measles on my paintings. I also love the Glidden semi gloss. I find that you only need a little of it to get your acrylics to move across the top properly. I worked at Home Depot in the paint department for years. I learned a lot about paint. I don’t add anything to it except a bit of water. Amsterdam paint is amazing paint and I use it for my blooms swipes etc but never for pillow….its too expensive. I use a mixture of different paints for my top paints. Usually making my own pouring medium. I spent 2 years coming up with bloom recipes after taking Shelee’s first course (literally texting her while I was at HD trying to find US equivalent paints to what she was using. I am an OG at these recipes. I have been doing this for over 10 yrs.) People also have to take into consideration the weather…what works for me in New England may not work for someone in Florida (higher humidity) or Arizona/Nevada ( dry, hot) I also use a large dehumidifier in my basement, where my paint studio is. Also if you find your pillow is too thin, let the paint sit out open for a day and it will thicken. Your video was very informative and fun. I am all about the bottom line and using less products to make amazing art. Your mixture is great for smaller paintings Loved watching you and will continue to do so. PS: paint peeling is very oddly satisfying😊

😂😂😂 the weather.. SMH 🙄.. don't get me started on that. I live in Minnesota, it can snow at a nice 48° one day, the next day, it's -15° and sleeting, next day, sunny and feels like spring, 100°s in Aug....🌡️. I keep all my paint in a spare room upstairs, that I try to keep at the same temperature all yr round. Even my spray paints have a spot in my basement that they share with my fossils, stones and crystals. 😂. It's the simple things in life that keep us happy.

Hello there! I just read your comment and as I have NEVER done any of this before, was wondering about the humidity factor? I live in Southern Florida (need I say more about humidity?) and am just wondering in what way does the humidity affect the paint or final product? I see you mention cracking. Is there an acceptable humidity level or at what percentage of humidity is the cutoff in determining whether or not it's safe to paint? Thanks in advance! 😊
@retreivermomx2847
Ай бұрын
@@FunWithEnduringArts Hi! The humidity causes the top of the paint to dry too fast. When the top dries before the rest of the painting it causes cracking. You should never have a fan near your paintings for the same reason. You want all the paint to dry evenly at the same time. If the humidity is over 40-50% I won’t paint. I also won’t paint if it’s just brutally hot. I tend to paint from Fall to late Spring in New England when it is cool. I do furniture refinishing during the Summer and fall here

Hi Garrick! I was delighted to see the title of this video! I had fallen in love with Rinska Douna's Dutch Pour several years ago. I loved the community that grew from that or at the same time as that. People began sharing their paintings and of course the mixture of paints used. The collective of beginners through experienced artists sharing freely is what kept me watching. What stopped me was when one artist began charging $99 basically for a recipe for "pillow paint" (& the new exclusive term for mixes to get cells... "cell activators.") Yes, she apparently taught ways to use this, but the $99 was for the "pillow paint" recipe. What a turn off! And I did turn off! Your video came up on autoplay & I'm writing this because of the title! I'm so glad the cat is out of the bag, & the free sharing in the collective continues! If you find this offensive, I won't be if you delete this. I am not knocking art courses in acrylics or any other medium. I find that very different.😂

Oh my God. I really really really appreciate you making this video I’ve been doing fluid art now for about a year and a half and I never understood what pillow paint was or meant. I just know that it looked very thick and it was always used solely for the bloom technique. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Now that you so graciously educated us or (me). I’m so grateful. Thank you. As far as the comparison is concerned I like the flow trawl and glue mixture results better in the store bought house paint. I can hardly wait to experiment now that I know what to do.

Newbie here. Haven’t done my first pour. Been watching UTube first. With your video making Pillow Paint, I understand the purpose of a paint pillow and the background paint is to give depth to pour and allow the pour to move over the canvas. So my question is “ Why is the white pigment needed when the pillow and background paints, 99% of the time, be covered up with the paint pour?” I understand that adding the pigment will change the thickness. Does adding the pigment change the overall pour?

Hi, new watcher. Floetrol is a very good product but tends to get gloops. If you take a piece of panty hose, a rubberband, and a damp paint rag, you can put a piece of hose over the spout of floetrol, use rubber band to hold in place, pour and strain, wipe with damp rag, and put the cap back on, ready to go next time. Of course, it applies with any like water based product.

Hey new friends!! Student level acrylics are most of your Beginner tube paints like Amsterdam, Master's Touch, Blick, Artist Loft brands. They are like entry level but by no means bad. Taking it a little further you could actually create a subcategory of paints just withing these brands based on their pigment loads. Some brands are better than others but this is what use in 85% off all my paintings.

I’m gonna tell you what stresses me out… Is the medium’s that’s what stresses me out… Because some people use American Flood as their medium, some people use behr deep bass 8300 C with josonja,, etc.… That’s what I would love for you to teach me on which medium use for which which thing

How does the cost compare for a gallon of the home mixed version versus a gallon of house paint? Is this alternative just for people who can't access house paint, or does it save money?

It is an alternative. Prices of PPG MultiPro Satin base have cooled considerably over the past year. It had ballooned to $19.98 and now I found it for $15.98 at my local home depot.

Wetting the back of your canvases and letting them dry tighten the canvas. I do this every couple of months to the ones I have hanging in my house. I also do it to every canvas before I paint. I soak them then blow dry them to make it taught before I paint.

Thanks for all the info! I’m about to take the plunge soon fingers 🤞. I’ve heard some say not to use Elmer’s glue…that it will make the whites turn yellow. Your swipes are always so beautiful, do you ever find this happening?
@GarrickBrownArtStudio
4 ай бұрын
I don't worry about it only if I'm using alot of white but while glue is not archival quality paints with good binders will be fine. Your paintings will outlive you. I'm not concerned with what it will look like in 200 years haha because I will be long gone.

do you mix CA with the colored paint before pouring it onto the pillow paint or just put it on the palette knife before you swipe?
@GarrickBrownArtStudio

Straight to the palette knife if I am swiping. You can put it on top of your colors and then swipe if you want to. It really comes down to preference. But you shouldn't be mixing your CA with your colors.
