#82 Oh my! Those Amsterdam Pearl Paints! 

Thank you so much!

I also did see the faces! It’s really original! I wonder why there are little black dots? Is it because there is a medium mixed in the black?

Trying to answer that regarding the black dots. It is a "pour over" so that may have something to do with it. But, I am quite sure it's my base paint that is trying to peep into the pour. It's not the pouring medium since I use that same recipe with all my paints. It's the Artist Loft Soft body paint. It even tried to break down on the second pour. That could be too much water to thin and not enough binder.

Thank you very much, Darnell!

So cool!

Thanks for tuning in!

Thank you so much. These were fun to do.

@@bonniesacryliccreationsart Absolutely my pleasure to watch your awesome creations!

Thank you Judy. It is rather magical! Appreciate you watching.

Linda, it really is fun. Challenging to Try and keep track of what colors were puddled where! 😂. Thanks for watching.

Janese❤ Thank you! I’ve got my thinking cap on! 😂 Got some ideas. They sure are fun to play with. Appreciate you tuning in.

Thank you so much!

ТОЖЕ ТАКОЙ ВОПРОС. НЕПОНЯТНО. МОЖЕТ,ДОБАВЛЯЕТСЯ В ЧЕРНУЮ?

My first time using them. Really fun and mysterious! 🥰

Bonnie, I did a Dutch Bloom about a year ago with same colors. Try it. It will come out beautiful.

Betty, I actually thought about doing that! So, yea, I'm going to try it. Thanks!

Thank you very much. These really are fun colors

Thanks, Donna. I'll be playing with these some more. So fun!

Thank you very much!

Thank you! 😊

Thanks!

Thanks so much! I'll probably be putting up another video in a couple days. I've been gone from my studio for nearly 2 weeks. Good to get back to it.

Hi Dawn. Thanks for tuning in. I use a different P.M. depending on what type of pour I am doing. For these paints, It's just my normal p.m. of 70/30 Floetrol to Golden's Gloss p.m. Then I mix a ratio of about 3-4 parts of my p.m. to 1 part paint. So depending on the desired consistency, then add water to thin. These are Amsterdam paints so they have really good binders and can be thinned down fairly well. I hope that answers your question.

I mix them with my pouring medium: American Floetrol and Golden Color Gloss medium. 3-4 parts p.m. to 1 part paint. And add water to the desired consistency.

I purchase my paints both online and in local stores. Fluid Art.Co has quite a few options from their TLP pigments to different tube paints including these Amsterdam paints. So, it just depends on the brand & types of paints I am needing.

I use my normal pouring medium that I mix myself for all my paints (other than the bloom or Fiona's Reverse Flower Dip) which is a mix of 2:1 parts of American Flood Floetrol to Golden's Gloss p.m. Then I mix that even parts to the paint and thin them with water to desired consistency. Some paints, such as Amsterdam and Holbein have really good binders in them so I can actually mix 4 parts of my PM to 1 part paint then thin with water. (FYI, you shouldn't use just the American Floetrol as it will dull the colors. Adding the GGPM adds the gloss back and it has binding properties in it, too.) Hope that helps you.

@@bonniesacryliccreationsart thank u so much

They are fun! I mixed them with my normal pm. 2:1 of Floetrol to Golden Gloss pm. And water. The Pearl paint consistency was fine, but my black base doesn’t seem right. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it❤.

Hi there. Thanks for tuning in. My base paint... the black is slightly thinner than the puddled pearl paints. But not by much. Hope this help answer your question.

thank you!!! I spent all day trying to get a good pour but the paints were just rolling over the black paint. I mixed half black paint and half floetrol.. Then I tried other black paints with half Liquitex and half floetrol....Should I try tube black instead of the Artist loft soft black? Happy thanksgiving!!!!

I make my own p.m. of a mix of American Floetrol and Golden Gloss Color pouring medium. For these paints, It's just my normal p.m. of 70/30 Floetrol to Golden's Gloss p.m. Then I mix a ratio of about 3-4 parts of my p.m. to 1 part paint. So depending on the desired consistency, then add water to thin.

I prep my canvas by taping off the back. That's all I prep. When creating, I only use Cell Activator (C.A.: 3 parts Aussie Floetrol to 1 part paint), when I am doing blooms. I never use silicone oils in any of my pours. Hopefully that answers your question. Thank you for watching and tuning in!

I make my p.m. of American Floetrol and Golden Gloss Color pouring medium. (70/30) So, for this, it's just my normal p.m. apx. 4 parts to 1 part paint. Then depending on the desired consistency, add water to thin.

Thanks Amanda. I just used my regular pouring medium that I Premix & keep in a big jug. I use a 2:1 mix of American Floetrol to Golden Color Gloss PM. Golden Color Gloss P.M. has the binders in it. And, Except for my TLP's, I use that for all my pours. Just add water to get to the consistency you need for the type of pour. Hope that answered your question.

It's magic! LOL! Just kidding. When you put those Amsterdam Pearl Paints on a dark background, they all dry showing their spectacular colors.

I just use my normal PM that I mix and store in a big jug. same as I use for all my pours except my pigments. It's 2:1 American Floetrol to Golden Color Gloss PM. Just add water to thin as need after you mix with the paints.

Of course. I make my own P.M. of basically 2:1 parts of American Floetrol to Golden Color Gloss pouring medium. (Or you can do 70% American floetrol to 30% Golden color gloss pm.) The floetrol can kind of dull your paint so adding the GCGPM will not only give a gloss but it also has binders in it so as to help your paint not to break down. I then mix it about 3 to 4 parts of my PM to my paint when mixing then add water to thin it out to the desired consistency for the pour. I hope this helps. BTW: this is not a recipe for pigments but just for tube paints or heavy body paints.

I usually just eyeball it. My pouring medium is 4 parts to one part paint... but the water will vary depending on the paint densities.

Yes, I totally get it. When I first started out, I had to go with less expensive brands. I have come to realize that I need to use less paint with the better brands as they are so much more pigmented. I appreciate you watching.
