#abstractpainting #fluidart #deconstructedbloom
Welcome back, lovely viewers! I’m thrilled to return with a fresh dose of creativity, and guess what? My ankle is on the mend!
Prepare to embark on an artistic journey as I unveil the exciting launch of my new SheleeArt Blooms series! ✨ In this episode, I’ll be working with a mesmerizing color palette featuring the enchanting hues of Golden Fluid Acrylics Cobalt Blue, Teal, and Titanium White, complemented by the rich tones of Da Vinci Fluid Acrylics in Payne’s Gray.
This captivating video is just the beginning of an exhilarating fourpart series. Trust me; the creative process wasn’t all smooth sailing—I almost let perfectionism get the best of me! But fear not, for art always finds a way. Watch as I transform a near disaster into a stunning deconstructed bloom, a technique I love when it’s deliberate.
So, sit back, relax, and let your artistic senses come alive. Your feedback means the world to me, so don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments section. Thank you for being a part of this journey!

THE RECIPE:
House Paintbase aka puddle for the substrate: Glidden Essentials in Eggshell (Home Depot) I ran out of PPG MultiPro in Satin, which is my favorite. Also 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 22 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. predisbursed 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 Deep Gold. 3:1 Floetrol to paint.
