In this video, I’m doing the Geometric Bloom technique again, also known as Scoop and Drag Madness, created by the amazing Jessica WinterStromArt. This technique is both exciting and unpredictable, but also a real challenge when it comes to composition—especially because of its geometric nature. It’s easy to fall into a cross-like composition, as swipes naturally overlap each other. On top of that, spinning the canvas doesn’t always keep things perfectly aligned, which can quickly shift the dynamics of the piece.

This painting isn’t perfect—and that’s totally fine! The composition feels a bit off, but that’s exactly what makes this technique so tricky. One key tip: avoid placing a scoop and drag in the center—after spinning, it will stretch, become more transparent, and can have a huge impact on the overall composition. I’m sharing the full process, including what went well and what was challenging, because there’s always something to learn!

Whether you're into fluid art yourself or just love watching the mesmerizing flow of paint, this video is for you! If you enjoy the process as much as I do, don’t forget to leave a like. 😊
Thank you so much for watching!!

Love Suzan,

How I make my BASE:

Talens Art Creation Titanium White and Owatrol floetrol (1:3 minimal water added). I do this in portions (cups) of 35 grams of Titanium White and 105 grams of Owatrol, and usually add 5 grams of water. I make larger stocks of this, and always try to let it rest for at least 2 days so that it has fewer air bubbles...

The colors I used:

TLP Honeycomb
TLP Abalone
TLP Gilded
Golden QNAG
Amsterdam Prussian Blue Phthalo
JoSonja Aqua

I MIX MY COLORS also with Owatrol floetrol. Ratio depends on the pigmentation and thickness of the paint, also a very small amount of water added for consistency, but slightly thinner than the base.

I first wet my PIGMENTS with a little GOLDEN GAC100 until I have a paste. Then I add a small scoop of binder (Caparol). I also use Owatrol as PM with the pigments and that is not paint. It therefore lacks the binding. And I personally don't like it when colors become 'runny'. So that's how I solve it. Then I also add Owatrol floetrol to this, I do that by eye, in the same consistency as the other colours.

I make my CELL ACTIVATOR with acrylic paint and Australian floetrol (1:2 for swipes). I used Amsterdam Prussian Blue and Titanium White here. For the Gold cell activator I mix two different types of Gold. I use Golden Bright Gold and Amsterdam Deep Gold (1:3 approximately). Because Amsterdam works well, and Golden to make the color more beautiful!
