Guess we need to find new words to compliment your beautiful works so you don't get tired of the old words! Nikki you are making me al.ost like orange and yellow 💛 well when you use it I like it!
Thank you so very much Laura! 😀💖 You know what's funny I didn't think I liked them either!!! I've never been a yellow, green or range lover! Strange how we change 😁
I don't know if anyone has ever had their "eyes leak" after watching a video of pouring. I think I'm broken, because mine did 🤔 You have such an eye for color! This is absolutely stunning💞 Thank you for posting this😊
MESMORIZING POPPING COLORS , JUST INCREDABLEY STUNNING N BEAUTFUL . NIKI , YOU HAVE A GIFT FROM GOD TO CREATE SUCH STUNNING ARTWORK FOR THE WORLD TO SEE !!!!!!!!!
Hello Niki.... Suzanne from CT, USA. I am currently taking the Sheleeart course as you suggested. She is very talented. What I love is that she actually shows us step by step how she mades her pouring mediums for both pigment and tube paint, her cell activator , her base pillow. She says she wants everyone to succeed and that is amazing. However, I LOVE YOUR style. After listening to your video #93 I think on how you mix things together I wrote everything down. I’ve tried at least 2 dozen times trying to get your big cells etc. And I have failed. I lost count on how much paint I’ve scraped into the garbage. I use all the really good paints and I’m losing my shirt here financially. PLEASE help us by showing us exactly what things to buy ad how you actually measure things to create your pouring mediums, CA etc (see above). I understand you did your tape, but something is terribly wrong . I’m sure that other fellow artists worldwide are experiencing the same disappointment in their work. PLEASE redo that tape and take outmeasuring spoons if need be..bring it down and explain WHY you you do what you do. Case in point, your bass pillow is Amsterdam titanium white, a squirt of GAC800 and a smaller squirt of a binder. Great..however that is soooooo thick that NOTHING MOVES. It needs to be made thinner.. but you don’t explain how to do this.. what do we add? Niki , you are amazing at what you do and its a compliment that you have so many followers and people asking questions. I thank you in advance for your consideration in my request. Have a Happy New Year and may God bless you and all your family. Suzanne U.
Thank you very much Suzanne 😀💙 The base pillow for blooms and swipes isn't Amsterdam it's white low sheen or eggshell house paint with a splash of GAC 800 added. It shouldn't be too thick to move it should just leave a heavy trace when you drizzle. If though you're using Amsterdam, as you said above just with GAC 800, then yes that would be thick but that's not used in the base/pillow. Amsterdam (and other brands is for the cell activator but you only add floetrol to this). As for using measuring spoons I wouldn't know where to start as I have never measured ratios sorry. Honestly, it's far better to learn to eyeball and go by the consistency. I show the consistency of my colours and my CA in most of the videos at the beginning. I can't tell you what is best for where you live, but in the Sheleeart group there is a handbook in the files for each country to tell you which pillow/base to use. Which untinted or deep house paint (for the pouring medium) to use for your colours and of course you can buy Jo Sonja for the varnish addition everywhere. As for the CA I use various brands, it's kind of trial and error to find ones that work. You really do need to use Australian Floetrol to get the best results though. Amsterdam is a good starting point, you don't add GAC 800 to it. Then once you get all the right products for your country just mix to a consistency which suits you. If you see various videos we all like varying thicknesses, I like mine on the thicker side, so mine leaves a heavy trace when drizzled that does not disappear. This is more important that measuring spoons, as every brand of paint differs, even colours in the same brand, so you really can't go with measuring as then every one you mixed in different brands would differ greatly. This is why in video #92 I show how I add a tiny amount of tube paint then add the untinted house paint and Jo Sonja gloss varnish, then mix until you like the thickness. The acrylic binder is only added to dry pigments for their dispersion begs you add the untinted house paint and varnish. However, you can Assisi disperse with the Jo Sonja too. After that it's really trial and error. I did Shelee's course two years ago so I've been practising a long time now and found my style, but I have had a lot of failures along the way, and it took me months to achieve anything I liked in the beginning. So, don't give up, enjoy, don't be too hard on yourself as it will take a while to get the hang of it 💖 Happy New Year!
Love this, spectacular artist you are, the colours look like a vintage retro stain glass window. Your rainbows are always magical and magnificent 🌈 🎨 ❤😍🥰😘
It is beautiful and I was a glass artist until my hands couldn’t do it anymore. The colours do remind me of glass but I cannot imagine cutting so many pieces. I would rather paint it. Thank you. 🌸
I'm 12mins in and I'm in awe and the music fits so well you must have a beautiful soul young lady. This is my 1st time watching it won't be my last. This is beautiful and it turned out so amazing those colors you've got a good eye. Tysm for sharing big hugs ⏰🤗💚
This piece is so beautiful it is inspired me to get to my painting tomorrow and paint all day. I just love the colors in this just absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this with us.
It looks like a closeup of a beautiful butterfly wing. This is absolutely gorgeous. You definitely have your own unique aesthetic. I hope you blow up. Just subscribed. Can’t wait to see what else you create!
I was not expecting that spin! 😅 And I love that you don't talk and I can just watch the process. Most of the time I'm thinking, "ok, shut up and show me!"
Very lovely!! I learned a great deal from watching. This is how I have wanted my paintings to look when I use metallics, but it hasn't worked out so far. Of course, I have only done 5 or 6 paintings so far...can't afford to experiment too much.
