- Hello and thanks for your visit!
US Floetrol! Thanks to Jodie @ThePaintedDreamer , who reminded me of the good old US recipe of a Cellactivator.
Please, check out her latest experiments with US Floetrol as a pouringmedium...
/ thepainteddreamer
I'll give you a little history time, how the US Version got developed. And still I don't know, if it just was coincidence or knowledge...
MY 'naiomi' recipe for US Floetrol Cellactivator
1part paint
1 part glue all
2 parts US Floetrol
a few drops of wood conditioner
acrylic ink as a thinner possible
I used the following paints:
in my CA:
Amsterdam - Titanium white
in my pouring medium:
Golden paints heavy body - paynes grey
Firedots pigments (Discount code below) - pearl white
boom gel - willie wag tail black
A big shout out to my lovely Patreons Katrin Ga., Lisa C., Susan Far. and Dianne Her and Elise ...You simply are the best! I am so happy you are with me on this journey and help me support my art.

Thank you for your experiments because some of us can't afford all the fancy stuff.
I just want to thank you for making me smile. Fun to watch.
YES! That’s wonderful. I’m glad you’re here!
Thank you very much Jessica, keep experimenting with the American Floetrol, and you can advise us more. especially to the poor humans that we can't get the Australian Floetrol. 😊
Yes, it's expensive! But isn't it cool there are alternatives?!
Jessica, I enjoyed that very much.
Jessica! I’ve been watching videos on fluid art for a few years now. I learned so much from this video! I really want to give it a try. It’s so amazing how you really teach me on your videos! Thanks so much for your kindness and talent! 💗 I’m glad I became a Patreon!
I’m so glad you think so. I’m happy to help 💕
They're both pretty cool, Shelee. Fun to watch and learn. Thank you ! 👍😎💗
Thank you, Kathleen!
Beautiful ice fountain
So nice to see we have options!
We do. Even though we need to play around a little
Thanks for this. Beautiful results!
Love the results and thank you again for the lesson prof dr Winterstrom!
Very stunning. Cool cells. I love to see your paintings. Love your swipe and scoop.
Thank you so much, Charlotte!
Just beautiful both pieces. I love your experiments!
Thank you so much!
You nailed it once again!!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge..love Paynes grey. Both pieces are so pretty😁
Absolutely great tutorial video. Many thanks for sharing your experiences Jessica👍🏼⭐️😊👨🏻🎨
My pleasure 😊. Thank you for watching!
I love to watch how you swipe, because it is difficult for me. Your videos have helped a lot. These two paintings are beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm glad I could help. Keep practicing. That's the only way....
I love watching you paint and talk and thanks for showing your experiments.
Thank you for watching!
Fascinating. (Picture AND experiment). I mentioned to Jodi, on her last video, that I have been fooling around with a CA using US Floetrol with some tar gel (the one I have is from Golden) because of it’s stretchy properties. It gives me cells and lacing just like AU Floetrol. The only problem is that the stretchiness sort of continues. It “relaxes” so to speak and the cells and lacing lose their crisp look. Thinking about some glue or some Mix Pour to stiffen it up. I like to experiment.
Could you share your CA recipe using the tar gel please
@@millyfluidart7482 Sure, but, as i said, it’s not quite right yet. It tends to “relax” too much and I lose definition. My little batch was: 1 oz US Floetrol, 1 oz Golden tar gel, 1 1/2 oz water, and 1 oz paint. My plan is to play around by maybe decreasing the water down to 1 oz and/or adding a bit of glue (Elmer’s) or Mix pour.
yes, it sound like it is too much water. Isn't experimenting the most fun!?
@@WinterStromArt It is and you are correct. Way too much water. I tried a different approach, comparing consistency between AU floetrol to a US + tar gel, then adding drops of water until the US concoction looked and felt the same. Then I mixed up some CA (3 to 1) with Amsterdam Oxide Black (my first CA color) of each kind. Tomorrow I’ll try them out on a bloom and a swipe - have to make up a couple of colors. I already used up the dregs I had laying around. LOL. It’s the most fun.
THANKYOU SOO MUCH OR ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE 😊
How beautiful! Super!❤
Enjoyed this very much. I do love your personality, your facial expressions are a bonus! 😊 both pieces turned out beautiful!! 💜😍 thank you!
Thanks Mary! I can't help it ... 😂
You are a wonderful weirdo and I’m so excited to just randomly come across your page!!!! I have been banging my head over the dang cell activator… you speak to my babble and I totally flipping understand now. I can’t wait to go try it out right now 🎉❤ thank you so much
Wow! That’s so cool. I’m glad I could help! Are you sure it was random? Maybe it was destiny 🤓
You have helped me so much!!! I would love to take a class!!! I have spent $$$$$ all my money trying to make beauties like yours. I did ok 40% of the time…. But your recipes and experiments have helped me tremendously today!! I’m buying your spinner. I am
Going to send you money for helping me once I get paid. For now, many thanks. Saying prayers for you that God continued to bless you! I love the way you speak, discuss. So glad I happened upon you. Have a great day Knowing you helped a struggling and frustrated and nearly broke fellow artist!!! 😘🦋
Thank you so much, Gina. I'm happy to pass on what came to me. All the best to you!
As usual, both pieces are so beautiful. Also the experiment. I never tried with US floetrol, but I will some day for sure! Thanks to share your art with us!👏👏👏
Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful piece. You merged the two sections so well. Love it.
Thank you, Mary. I’m glad you liked it
I want to thank you yet again for your tutorials. You got me swiping with a pallet knife, I didn't give up until I got it. I also was having issues with my ca. I watched this yesterday and after work I tried it and wow..you rock and thank you so much again ❤️
Oh my gosh, that’s awesome! Thank you so much for telling me. That brightens my day (probably more than one…)
Fabulous!
Thanks
Fantastic video, thank you for experimenting. Love both the paintings especially little bug guy, really cool 🙂🍀❣
Thank you so much.
What a great concept! Unfortunately, a black cell activator with paint gray paint and a white cell activator on the white pillow does not make for a great contrast when viewing on a small cell phone. I’ve been binge watching your videos last night and this morning (Milky Way turned me onto you) and I am amazedAt the depth that this technique offers. You feel almost as if you could stick your arm in between the layers there is so much depth! Thank you for sharing your time, your talent, and your expertise with us!❤
The experiments are very informative but...your teaching and art skills are just amazing...I always enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing your experience, thoughts and creativity with us...be safe..peace and happiness to all...✌🤗
Gosh, you scared me for a sec there. Phew… I’m glad you like it ❤️
@@WinterStromArt Never fear...your work is always amazing...I keep watching over and over to try to get that lift method down but I just cant get it....Keep making beautiful art.
Dein letztes Bild ist echt super schön geworden UND ich liebe deine Spielereien mit der Farbe. Ich glaube ich werde sowas auch mal versuchen ☺️
Ich bitte darum! Bin gespannt was du zauberst
Just discovered your channel couple weeks ago and can’t stop watching your magic work. Love the process and the results are always amazing. But today, the second painting brought tears half way through, and usually I am not so easy with them😂. Wow! I am speechless- absolutely stunning 😮❤. I just hope that I will achieve something like this one day 🙏🤞. PS signed up for the membership yesterday. Best wishes from England
Very cool
I really love your work, and you explain things so well. You are very talented, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much 😀
Es gibt wirklich keinen artist dessen Vorspann ich so gerne gucke! 😅 du bist wirklich eine talent in vielen Bereichen
Wie schön! Danke fürs Reinschauen!
I just started using Paynes Gray after watching so many artists using it. Theres something smoky and romantic about the color.
The side by side with the two floetrols was interesting. Both pieces are beautiful!
Thank you!
I just love paynes grey! They’re so different though, depending on the brand
Wow...awesome video, I really liked how you show and explain the difference between the two. First time i clearly see. Your pretty funny also. It was fun to watch.
Glad I could help
OMG you are amazing 👏 😍 this is the first time watching you as Mollys Artistry put a link in her description, ill be watching more of your videos x
How awesome! Thank you so much and welcome!!!
Love that last painting
Thank you! And thanks for watching more…! 😘
Both pieces are gorgeous. I think the monochrome is simply stunning with its macro simplicity when there is so much micro eyecandy in the composition.
well said!
AWESOME video!! ♥️♥️
Thank you so much, Karen! 😘
Thank you Jessica. This is what I’m after. I don’t like predictable. I love variation , it makes it more interesting
Yes to variation, Desiree! Thanks, I’m glad you’re aboard
Ahhh the days of American floetrol...I kind of miss it...to finally get it to work...and work well felt so awesome!
Gorgeous pieces!!
Good ol’ days. Thanks for stopping by, lady!
@@WinterStromArt yess!!!! I need to stop by more often!!!!! You know I heart you and your gorgeous work 😘😘😍😍❤️❤️
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
Gahhh so beautiful girl! 💜 I always forget how awesome the US floetrol is until I started my latest experiments, holy schnikes! I love your experimenting here 🤗 thanks for the shoutout too! 💜💜💜
I owe you so many shoutouts, girl! (Don’t like the word owe… but I can’t think of a different word)
Very good information.
I'm happy you think so! thank you
Way COOL...entertaining as well !! 👏 👌
Glad to hear that. 😘
Beautiful along with the artist
awww....thanks, Lorrie!
AMAZING.. I saved this to use as a tutorial later ❤️
Yay! See ya later then… ❤️
OH WOW! look at that head on top!
THANK YOU! I have tried everything to get cell with 0 success! Your link to Australia flotrol will help but I will also use your other "Naomi" recipe. I love the way you manipulate the paint!
Don't give up. It looks easy but it is quite a learning curve!
Just gorgeous. Great teacher! Your technique is very interesting. You should have many more subscribers, and I love your personality. After I move, I’m going to order a spinner. Can’t wait 😛
Oh, thank you, Marcy! I'm working on the subsciber thing..😀
The more I see you paint with the U.S. mix, the more I like it. There's a spooky stretched sinew quality to it which reminds me a little of the artwork for the "Alien' series by H.R. Giger. I love the cheeky little dude with the long neck (who failed to catch the bug so close to him). I am a big fan of Payne's Gray but I must get some of the Golden soon. Lovely paintings Jessica.
Gosh, YES! This is EXACTLY why I love the US mix so much. One day I want to do something cyborg-y. Or Giger-y. Thank you for that! That made my day
Jessica this was such a amazing tutorial you are such a amazing teacher. Payne`s Grey would have to be one of my favourite colours it complements Black and Whites and other colours so beautifully. These two pieces are stunning and I really love the negative space. Thank You so much for sharing and doing what you do for us, you are one amazing young lady, my Sensei Grand Master Jessica!! LOL!! Peace and Love to all and be safe everyone. 😎😊😂🤗🤩🤩🤩😍👌🖖👍💜
You make me blush...
Just bingeing on your vids and thanks for the run down on the Oz and Us Floetrols. I'm in Oz, bought a big bottle of our Floetrol when I first started pour painting and must of grabbed a really old bottle coz darned stuff was useless. So gave up thinking whats all the hype about. But you have convinced me to get another smaller bottle and see what happens. Really interesting experiments and personally I think both floetrols have their own unique looks.
I agree. It's funny that they are so different, since they're made by the same company...
Love 💕 your artwork and your humor in editing! My birthday is near and I asked my wife for a spinner! Yeah!
Whooohooo! Tell her to contact me before she orders… For a little extra birthday present
@@WinterStromArt Even though my B-day is 3 weeks away, I asked her to get in touch with you asap. Excited!
Wanna know what I discovered works way better than Elmer's glue all? Gorilla wood glue! You get an immediate cell reaction, you don't get the ghosting or scattering in your lacing, lines are super sharp and stable. The dried results are spectacular! Maybe because there's way more binder in gorilla wood glue? Dunno but I'm loving it. Thank you so much for your amazingness ❤ FYI gorilla glue is off white but the pigment in Amsterdam titanium white eats up that color so you do get a crisp solid white lacing.
What a great tip! I will definitely give that a try! Thanks so much
Awesome. Looks like a walkway to a fairy castle
It does! Thank you for stopping by
Ahh… I was looking for a video on this. So glad I joined your channel.
Not to complicate things but I have to complicate things… there is also a water based wood conditioner in a red can too that a lot of ppl use. Maybe you could compare those next? Thanks my lady 🦋.
That one doesn’t work. I think the cell action worked only because of the oily content. (That’s at least what I’m thinking) I tried it but didn’t do a video because… well… it doesn’t work 😂
Thanks again for being here!
@@WinterStromArt Thanks for the info. Sounds like I’m better off just splurging on the Aussie one at this point, so much conflicting info on YT. Your blooms are gorgeous, I’m going to just dive into all your videos and keep my 🤞 lol. 🩵
Jessica two beautiful pieces. Bravo. Thanks so much for your experiments and the history. I still dont know what is the bloom gel. Help please.🥰💪
Boom gel is a acrylic stain/paint brand. I use it straight out of the bottle without pouringmedium
@@WinterStromArt Do you mean the regular house paint used as a pillow? Does it have to be Satin?
I'm really trying to do this but how what is the ratio for the paint I know what the sell activator is which is floetrol glue all a couple of drops of those that conditioner.. so do you make that stuff with your paints? I'm kind of dense I just couldn't understand the recipe.
What dose boomgell do for paintings
Amazing to watch arch you! What is Boom gel? And I see it’s in different colors, how is it used? Thank you
Belíssima dica❤
Faça por favor um teste com o travesseiro com tinta esmalte à base de água 🙏
Enjoyed watching and listening to your explanations today! I thought it interesting you used the boom gel because it gives those wonky cells normally anyway…I loved both paintings…the second one looks like a alien landscape to me🙄
Really?! To me it does the opposite. It’s like an cell enhancer. It gives me usually super round and perky cells
@@WinterStromArt I guess I explained incorrectly 😱 yes it enhances the cells but the cells are different from the floetrol cells is all I meant…
Jess you are the best “swiper” I know and such an inspiration. Beautiful pieces! 💙
Thank you so much, Tracie. I'm glad you like my work
Das war sehr lehrreich, danke! Bin gespannt, ob das mit unserem Owartol ebenso funktioniert . . . Das US Flotroel habe ich mir bestellt (is aber auch extrem teuer hier in gud old jurip)
Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass das sehr ähnlich ist. aber wer weiss das schon.
What is the approx radius of paint splatter and about how far out - trying to determine if I can make the room to spin. Thanks! ❤️
It depends on the amount of paint and the speed you’re spinning. I have a cardboard boarder taped around my table to catch the flying paint
Have you ever tried Amersterdam pour medium as a cell activater? I mix it half and half with US floetrol and it works great.
No I have not! Wow so many alternatives…!
I love how it turned out and again with your magic fingers!
Off topic what you you mix your piggies with please?
Thank you! I mix them to a thick paste with my pouring medium first. when all is integrated I add more pouringmedium
Wow
🌸🤓🌸
I remember mixing up the American floetrol and everything but you don't put the ink in it? And my ass what size canvas usually use. Thanks enjoy watching you and love your art.😮😮😮❤❤❤
No, the ink is not really necessary but helps if you need to thin it a little
I went to order boomgel and their are so many different ones! Which one are you using in this video?
I usually just use the black one “wiggy wag tail black”
Okay so being here in Australia we don’t have a choice very hard to get American Floetrol and artistloft sadly
Jessica this is a great video, thank you!!! I am in LOVE with the second (square) painting!! Are you offering it for sale? I would be honored to have a piece of your work.
Hi Keli, what a compliment!
I still have that pice. And I’d love to have you have it. Would you Ming emailing me?!
Winterstrom.art @ gmail,com
perfect dear lady
I can’t find your wooden spinner. How can I purchase?
I loved watching even more when the music changed. The music makes all the difference when watching artists. It keeps you involved. Sometimes the music in videos makes me stop watching. For example, the repeating whistles and clapping music everybody was using in their videos made me so nuts! That's just me though. Your choice of songs was relaxing. Thank you for sharing your methods and techniques. This video was very informative.
Flocking? Flogging? Either way, that is what I got when I mixed the minwax with the Liquitex pouring medium.
Comes from the word flocculation.
and here's me thinking you were in the woods in Bavaria 😂😅
Haha! Nope, Central coast of California. And if I was in Germany you would probably find me way north
Hello Jessica, is the ca information still accurate in your opinion?
I haven’t done it in a long time but I can’t think of anything that would have changed. I should get it a wirl one of these days!
What did you add to your paints
Based on this video Australian floetrol or American floetrol with wood conditioner. All ingredients should be in the description box
😍😍🙏
Danke!
I so enjoy watching you ..I am curious...It seems like your pillow paint is really thick .??? or you go deeper than I've seen before...just
curious...do you have a reply?
Yes, my pillow is relatively thick. When I pour it on I want it to stay domed but I also need it to spread out easy. It has to be just right
You are so funny and cute. You should be in show business❤
Haha, if you say so 🩷
I love the results of them mixed and straight US Floetrol.
Good to know. I plan on going back using it.
I know it’s long time to see this comment but if you see, can you test with the Owatrol from England if it’s possible to you, I will appreciate if you can, thanks.
Deine Videos sind ein Traum! Und Deine gelegentlichen deutschen Worte (wischiwaschi 😂). Bei uns gibt es ein anderes Floetrol. Hast das schon einmal ausprobiert?
Hihi, ja manchmal gibt es keine Übersetzung bewiehungsweise, ich kenn sie nicht.ich habe bisher nur das ustralische und das amerikanische ausprobiert.
@13:01 you have a bird in her nest!
Because I adore you - please, please, please - at a minimum - open that wood conditioner outside and add the drops outside of your studio. Or wear a respirator.
I find it fascinating that you, Jodie, and Cindy are all going back to US Floetrol recipe.
I know you do woodwork, and probably use chemicals all the time.
Just be cautious with volatile organic compounds and their known toxicities.
Love the experimentation and adore the final pieces you made.
-Elise
Oh wow, i didn’t know Cindy was doing it too. I haven’t visited her channel in a while.
Don’t you worry about me, Elise! I always go outside! Minimal opening of the can. We eliminated the nasty chemicals out of the shop too. Just waterbased finishes.
You are the sweetest! Thank you
@@WinterStromArt Cindy mentioned not wanting to remortgage her house to buy more Aussie Floetrol. So I just sent her a bottle. 🥴😂
Hallo liebe Jessica, zum Experiment kann ich nichts sagen, ich komme an beide Varianten nicht ran und nutze das gleiche Floetrol wie Dominik.
Das Ergebnis ist wie so oft wunderschön und trägt Deine eigene Handschrift. 👍🍀
Kannst Du mir bitte sagen, was "der Amerikaner" mit "housepaint" meint? Ich habe bisher nur herausgefunden, dass es keine Wandfarbe ist. 🤣
Stay free and safe! 💛💙👋
Danke dir. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass das europäische auch funktioniert. Sofern man Wood conditioner findet…
Doch, Wandfarbe ist richtig. Latex Wandfarbe. Beim nächsten Deutschland Besuch werde ich das mal genauer unter die Lupe nehmen…
@@WinterStromArt Danke Dir! Ich bin auch ohne Wood Conditioner total zufrieden, denn unter uns: Deine Technik überlasse ich Dir. Ich kaufe Dir lieber mal was ab, wenn ich groß bin, filigranes Arbeiten ist nicht so meins - meine dominante Hand ist taub 🤷♀️
Hab's schön in Deinem Atelier. 🙂🍀
@@WinterStromArt Einfach weiße Latex-Wandfarbe? Muß ich ausprobieren. Wäre eine günstigere Alternative zu den Amsterdam-Titanweiß.
Freue mich schon auf Deine Erfahrungen mit unserer Wandfarbe. Wann bist wieder da?
83. you are awesome ,everything you try turn gorgeous 🌺🌺🥰🥰 Very cool 😎 nice tribute to pride month!! Live this!! the work that I made as a non-artist see my art too😍😍❤❤ 😊 .
Thanks
An elephant peeking through a hole, or it's an alien (Last picture at the end ) :)~
I have to rewatch and check that out!
Gibt es auch ein deutsches Floetrol ? 😉
Es gibt ein owatrol, das eigentlich das gleiche is. 100%ig weiß ich das leider nicht….
...attendo le traduzioni o sottotitoli in italiano😊
P.S. I hesitate to make a suggestion but I have thought about it and I think you are open to suggestions without feeling criticized ...... Perhaps you could keep a big, strong masonry trowel or a cake slice thingy within reach of your spinner for when you want to pick up your substrate. I worry about your precious swiping palette knives.....
Oh, always make suggestions! Please!
Hehe, yes. I actually have a pie server to pry the canvas off. But it’s never there when I need it…
You may already be aware of this. The minwax Pre stain product is available in a water based version.
I see we don't use flame for cell enhancement ...lol
no. I don't use a torch. The technique is consistency based.
Habe nicht so viele Daumen wie ich hochhalten könnte 😂
Haha. Und große Zehen akzeptiert UA-cam nicht… Danke schön
I can't hear you!
Don’t know why, I checked and I can hear myself fine
your funny, lol
Thanks!
I see a big bird
I like your visions.
