Breaking Free from PPG MultiPro: Embrace the Black and Succeed

#arttechnique #deconstructedbloom #diypainting In this video, I tackle micro air bubble issues with PPG MultiPro, leading to a bold switch to black paint. Witness the drama, learn tilting for composition, and see how SheleeArt’s bloom technique transforms into a deconstructed abstract piece. It’s a journey of determination and ingenuity in the world of fluid art, giving the painting a mysterious, otherworldly vibe. Dive into the practical side of overcoming challenges and creating compelling abstract pieces. #FluidArt #AbstractPainting #ArtTechniques Colors for the deconstructed bloom include Golden Teal, Ultramarine Blue, and Amsterdam Rose.

PATREON: THE RECIPE: House Paint-base aka puddle for the substrate: PPG Multi-Pro in Satin at Home Depot. Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator: Behr 8300 Untinted Deep Base Paint (Home Depot); and Valspar High Gloss Ultra Base C Untinted base (Lowe’s). 50/50. Mix well. NO varnish added! Use the colors of your choice! These tutorials are meant to educate and inspire! Here’s how to mix: Pigments: For a 3 oz cup I add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of pigment powder to the cup, then add enough gloss varnish (any brand; I use JoSonja gloss varnish) to cover the powder. Mix well until all pigment is thoroughly wet; then add the pouring medium. 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 I add a squirt of Golden’s High Flow Medium (thins and extends acrylic colors) and stir well. 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 Carbon Black and Titanium White . 2.5 -1 ratio Floetrol to paint.
