    You know I'm super appreciative of this video! It's really hard. There are those who can't, even with a discount, afford the class, and need help with detail like this, but it's also hard because we want to honor Sheele, and her launching of this discovery in art. It's a tough balance. What makes it harder, is when the product can't be gotten by all that's being taught with the art. Then we other countries do the work to figure out what works the best, find it and then it's discontinued. Then it's back to the drawing board. I hope Sheele understands why youtubers are trying to help others, if you're going to launch a technique with specific products... you need to make sure everyone who pays for that class can't get those products and it have done the work to find each countries equivalent. That would keep her invention proprietary, but because she didn't, it almost has to be reinvented be each person where they live and what they can get to work. No disrespect to Sheele, but someone with good business practice doesn't get mad when a technique gets taught and it can't be replicated due to the product being unavailable to a purchaser. I wouldn't expect it. I still say, take the class, you do learn alot, but all that learning does no good without the product to make it possible for each one who pays for a class.

This showed how thick to make your pillow. I have to try again! Love your channel! Down to earth and easy to understand! Marvelous!

    Lisa this video is very much appreciated you taking the time for all of this who watch you. With that said yes I can't afford to take the class at this point and I'm having an issue with space room temperature Etc. I would love to see a video with you trying PPG multi-pro eggshell like Karen uses on waterfall acrylics. And the floetrol for that's what I've been using I do have a little bit of color place from Walmart and also mixing your tube paints , I do have the bear 8300 and polyacrylic and a little bit of jo sonja . I'm sure in the drop list there is a place to watch how you mix your two pains and mica's I keep watching these videos and writing them down and all the different videos and different how everybody uses their pillow and what pillow they use it's to be so overwhelming. If that's something you're willing to try out the PPG for the pillow? And the mixing of the two pants in my bed for the pillow or the bloom? Thank you God bless for you getting on this video. Your appreciated. Thank you God bless stay safe and be well. 😉🤩🤩❤❤❤❤

    I just finished comparing 4 pillow paints and wasn’t happy with any of them. I only had theGlidden used for samples and the results from that were sending me to check out the Glidden essentials. I’m so happy for your test and don’t worry about the length of the video. I wish it had been slightly longer so I could have compared them all together. My impression was that adding the glue yielded stronger cells. I need to look at it again, but it looks like the Premium is the winner. I missed Shelee’s video comparing US paints. I’m heading out to find it now. Thanks for sharing all of your work!!!

    I use PPG multi pro from Behr and I put some GAC 800 in it and I find it's thick .. however if I swipe or blow spin the cells are beautiful like stained glass however when they dry the cells are not as crisp as they were when wet ...so I think it's because the pillow is to thick....no one has been able to tell me if that's the problem...also my pieces come out more watercoloring looking I like that but I want more cell looking ....can you tell me if it's because the pillow is to thick?

    So many ways....have you tried just the color place satin in white from Walmart? I have seen several use that without having to add any floetrol for the pillow paint. I used to do it your way and without Australian floetrol, didn't have great results. Also, check out older videos for blooms from Kanella Ciraco. She is up there in Canada too and had great results. I think so many ways to do these, makes your head spin. Thanks for sharing!!!

    Just curious, probably bc I own an ACE hardware, I am curious why you didn't thin your acrylic house paint with water to make it thin enough to flow. I use floetrol as well,.
    Second is that many people do not realise that most paints are made the same way. Especially the lower end. With that in mind I would like to say that using less expensive but not necessarily cheap paint will work fine for what we do.
    East said I realise maybe I will be brave enough to do a video. Thank you

    Hi Lisa. I'm so confused. Why is the base paint mind have to be different than the pillow type of paint. I hear people using Behr satin enamel house paint for the base and then using Glidden satin house paint for the pillow. What is the difference. What types are they suppose to be? I see everyone using different than each other but no one is saying why to use this type for base and another type. Just when I got it I dont. I have Glidden Premium white base satin but I don't know why that used for the pillow only and not the base or in the pouring medium. I have Behr Premium plus deep base 7300 which I think is suppose to be the base. Why is used there and not in the pillow or used in the pouring medium? What is minwax polycrylic? I bought it but don't know where to use it. How I'm seeing JoSonja everywhere and I don't know why that is everywhere now or why it's used. It says varnish but the polycrylic doesn't say varnish on the can but people are substituting it for JoSonja. What is Behr transparent wood conditioner penetrating oil and when is that used? I wish I could send you pictures. I realise there would be no time for you to answer. I just want to start painting. Thanks

    • @lisamarvinart

      I know it can be very confusing. I have 2 suggestions, if you really want to learn how to bloom, I would buy the sheleeart class, which is about $65 with the discount code. Would save you a lot of money on wasted paint and frustration. You can use the code sheleeart15lisa for 15% off. If not, find one artist that you like and use their ingredients:)

      @@lisamarvinart OH - I am listening now and you are SOOOO CORRECT ! I'm going in circles trying to replicate Shelee's blooms and it is definitely an issue due to the difference in the paints in USA vs. Australia. I'm going to finish watching your video and THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing this info.
