'Dragonfly Collab' Stunning Fluid Art ~

#fluidart #bloom #acrylicpouring #swipe #embellishedart
Hi guys, hope you're all well today. Thanks for joining me here again ❤️

I'm working on a lovely 20" (50cm) round canvas today.

Welcome to our Dragonfly Collaboration! I've partnered with some of my close pouring buddies to create some dragonfly inspired art pieces!
Queen of the bloom herself Shelee Art, Lisa (Messy) Marvin, Mitch (Rain & Pours) and myself and we've created some awesome artworks for you to view!

Of course, we can't create super shimmery iridescent dragonflies without using This Little Piggy pigments!

We have all dipped into the same colour pool to create our pieces, using the interference pigments and the following #TLP colours:
Mermaid
Lagoon
Ore
Lemon Sorbet
Sapphire
Enchantment

We could also add any other TLP's we wanted plus any tube paints.

Be sure to watch all 4 videos in the playlist for some inspiring and interesting dragonfly inspired pieces! Each one is a different take on the theme.

Links to all videos in case you've missed the premieres:

   • The Dragonfly Collaboration  

Pillow/base: British Paints (brand name) Low Sheen wall paint in White.

Colours I also used:
TLP Comet
TLP Mosh
TLP Nightfall
TLP Twilight (mixed with a couple of drops of Matisse Fluid in Magenta)
TLP Lagoon (mixed with a blob of Pebeo Iridescent Green Blue)

Jo Sonja Colony Blue (tube paint)
My pigments and tube paints are mixed with untinted (neutral) gloss house paint (water based) and Jo Sonja gloss varnish.
Please see video #92 for how I mix my colours (both pigments and tubes).
   • (92) How I Mix My Paints For Bloomswi...  

Cell Activators (CA) :
Atelier Mars Black
Amsterdam Titanium White
Both were mixed wit ONLY Australian Floetrol, nothing else added. I never measure, I mix until it leaves a light trace on the top when drizzled. If I had to guess I would say "approximately" 1 part paint to 2 - 2.5 parts of the Floetrol.

My style has changed and evolved dramatically since I took the Sheleeart E-Course and I can't recommend it enough!

If you too would like to evolve your art and find your own style using knowledge gained from taking the course, head over to https://sheleeart.com.au/ and use my discount code of sheleeart15NDA to receive a 15% discount from the E-Course.
Add the code in the box where it says 'coupon code'

Once joined you will get access to the private Sheleeart Facebook group where Shelee hosts regular live video classes, your learning will be unending! The course is currently in the process of being upgraded and thus there will be a price increase, so get in quick before then as you will also receive access to all the new classes.

Please subscribe to my channel (it's free), also hit the thumbs up button (if you like it) and share the video with your friends. Please try and watch the entire video, I try and always keep my videos under 20 minutes. I have a tip jar, it's definitely not expected, but if you'd like to tip any small amount would be greatly appreciated and will go towards buying more paint supplies.

My lazy susan is glass and 20'' which was purchased from Coles supermarket, they can also be sourced from variety/dollar stores and on Amazon. The heavier the spinner, the easier it will spin, I'd also suggest you get the largest one you can so you can easily use it for larger substrates too.

My metal spatulas are artist palette knives, they can be purchased from https://fluid-art.co/ or independent art stores.
