This is an excellent tutorial! Going to have to try the wrecked technique. Looking forward to the Polypour demo-mine is on its way and I have no idea how to use it! Beautiful results as usual Erica! ❤️
Wow. Erica . Your friend Karen from Waterfall Acrylics recommended we watch your technique for the bloom recipe. Im so glsd she did because your mixing is awesome. Then when you done your 3 bloos on that wooden circle, it turned our absolutely stunning. Those colours ,together are fabulous and when i saw the Cels and webbing im not surprised Karen is showing you off to her subscribers. She is my No 1. Im not only in hysterics at her stories and her laugh but her Artwork is Beautiful.... Im so glad I watched your mixing because your the first person to use a product that I know..lol. Homebase is my local hardware shop. Im new at this and your instructions are perfect for me. We even have the same scales and 3 different sizes of plastic cups. 😅😅. I look forward to seeing many more of your videos in the near future. Love from Scotland 🏴 Sandra xx ⚘
Kate Sullivan, thanks so much for naming the plant. I saw it and told Erica about it but could NOT remember the name to save my life! Whew, I am so glad you came up with the name The painting looks exactly like them!
@@santababy1952 I couldn't remember the name either! I used "Google Lens," snapped a picture, and it did the search for me and gave me the name. Funny how something you've known all your life will slip away when you want to think of it!
You are one of my favorite artists ..you inspired me.. I have watched video after video of you and a few other ladies on here Tammy Anderson, Rinske Douna, Olga Soby, Mii paintings, Gilly Kube.. you ladies just are so fantastic and I am so excited to start my pouring I can't wait to do it thank you! for all your work and sharing all your talent...
Thank you so much!! I know that was long and not real exciting for you but I really appreciate it. I suck at blooms but this gives me a reason to try again!
This reminds me of a trip to Buchard Gardens in Vancover BC in the late 1980s. The hanging begonia flowers glowed just like this painting. Very helpful tech support.
This is the best tutorial I've watched so far, of the bloom. Thank you so much for all the trouble you took to explain step by step, so well. It's much appreciated. I love the colors you used. It was beautuful. Looked like a caladium leaf. So pretty. Look forward to your next you tube.
thank you! Lots of thick house paint to keep them floating and I also believe that the gel I put in the bloom recipe not only helps thicken up my mix but also helps hold the shape of the cells and lacing... i think lol
Erica Hughes Art I looked for the Golden gel but don’t know the exact same. They make so many that I got confused. What is the name of the one you use? I love that you get so much out of the paint, with very little waste! Just amazing. Thanks again
Thanks so much for this video. Hubby and I are going to have a ‘bloom off’ this weekend 😂 on little mfd coasters. Again, thanks for your time and sharing x
I am so pleased Erica that you must be in UK despite your accent!! 🥰 so hard to find stuff that they use in US or Australia in stores in uk so thank you 🙏 Great tutorial clicked liked & subscribed 👍🏻
Absolutely brilliant, simple tutorial but very effective and informative. Thank you for taking the time to do it and as always, I loved the result and your colour choices 😍. One quick question for the 2 different pm recipes, have you found whether you can pre mix in larger quantities and store in airtight containers so you have it ready to pour for a week or two, or is it better for a couple of days pouring?
This is absolutely beautiful I’m gonna try and re-create this I just mixed up my paints tonight I’m so excited I don’t think I’m gonna be able to sleep!
Love your paintings and tutorials. I am still fighting the “measles” every now and then! I have found if you do your tester on a piece of photo paper and it dries well it looks good in an IKEA box frame. Saves waste!
Couple questions 1. When using such thick paint, how do you prevent crazing? 2. How well does this technique work on larger canvases? Like a 20x16 3. What does base C mean and why is it important? Thanks for your help 💗 love your work
thanks for sharing everything, I'm in the UK and have substituted the valspar for dulux wood and metal untinted deep base, it works great especially with the Vallejo gloss - ended up buying the Aussie floetrol after trying and experimenting with everything - huge difference, thanks again.
Hey Janine. Is this the paint you used? I'm in the UK and struggling to find the Valspar paint. Thank you. X www.amazon.co.uk/Dulux-Quick-Gloss-Paint-Metal/dp/B00M7104M4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Dulux+Wood+and+metal+untainted+deep+base+paint&qid=1609958429&sr=8-3
Great tutorial Erica! I’m curious about the polypour .. I got some late last year but couldn’t get it to work the way I wanted to, I’m excited to see your video on it, I may have to revisit it ☺️💜
Hi Erica, i've just started paint pouring and have been watching lots of your videos as i'm in sunny Scotland,lol. You are very skilled and make some beautiful pieces. I was hoping you could help me . I can't seem to find the valspar wood and metal paint base c anywhere , could you let me know where you get yours from ? i've found everything else lol. If i can create something that even remotely resembles your work then i would be one happy chappie and showing it off to everyone,lol. All the best Allan.
I see why I keep hearing you are the queen of the bloom.
WoW this is very satisfying to watch

Hi Erica! This piece is beautiful and looks like Caladium leaves! Almost exact colors too!

I've wondered about the dulux! I might have to try it out! thank you!
Hey Janine. Is this the paint you used?

Hi Erica, i've just started paint pouring and have been watching lots of your videos as i'm in sunny Scotland,lol.
You are very skilled and make some beautiful pieces.
I was hoping you could help me .
I can't seem to find the valspar wood and metal paint base c anywhere , could you let me know where you get yours from ?
i've found everything else lol.
If i can create something that even remotely resembles your work then i would be one happy chappie and showing it off to everyone,lol.
All the best
Allan.
It’s at B & Q - the Valspar paint counter. You can ask for the uncoloured pot of paint. I’m in Wiltshire in southwest England. xx
Pretty. Reminds me of Coleus leaves!
Thank you! Great video! 😍
Reminds me of coleus plant ❤
