Watch as I create the stunning "Dream Catcher" art piece using a deconstructed bloom technique with a hair dryer. Learn the bloom recipe and color harmony tips to create your own beautiful masterpiece! This slightly deconstructed bloom is so pretty and has such an etherial quality! I keep staring at it and that's always I good sign that it's pleasing to the eye. My layering of the colors in this video also breaks all the "rules" with the bloom technique. Instead of starting off with my usual transparent color, I opted to start with an opaque (teal), and layered how I pleased from there. This is a continuation of the last video; and I suppose this might be a mini series because I really like this color palette, and I think I want to add some gold to the mix in the next video. This is an 18x18" canvas, and I used a PIXY floater frame (see link below) to finish it off. Thanks for watching and let me know what you think!!

THE RECIPE:
House Paint-base aka puddle for the substrate: PPG MultiPro in Satin from Home Depot, or Color To Go Extra White in Satin from any Sherwin Williams store. For this painting I used Color To Go in Extra White from Sherwin Williams.
Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator color:
You’ll need: Behr 8300 Untinted Deep Base Paint (Home Depot); Infinity Semi-Gloss Base C Untinted (Lowe's) and JoSonja Gloss Varnish OR Minwax Polyacrylic Gloss. I use a quart measuring cup (HD + get a lid). Mix up 12 oz. of the Behr 8300; 6 oz. of the Infinity, and 4 oz of varnish or the water-based polyacrylic to make 22 ounces of pouring medium. Stir well. NOTE: If your Behr is thin, you may not need the varnish so add a little at a time to get your desired consistency. This recipe is a guideline depending on the viscosity of the untinted house paint.
Use the colors and brands of your choice! These tutorials are meant to educate and inspire! Here's how to mix:
Pigments: For a 3 oz cup I add 1/2 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; mix well. Recommend a Covid mask to mix.
For any brand fluid or high flow acrylics: I put 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 (medium or heavy body paint), I added an 1/2 ounce of paint (1/2 teaspoon) 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) OR water, and stir well.
Cell Activator/Color: Australian Floetrol + Amsterdam Titanium White, 2 -1 ratio Australian Floetrol to paint.
