The Shifty Series Part 2: Color Shift on White; Does It Work? DON’T MISS!

#fluidart #bloomtechnique #diyart Hi all! After the success of my last painting, it was time to compare color shift paints on a white base! This is another 16/x20 but I left it more as a big SheleeArt bloom technique instead of deconstruct bloom technique. I won’t spoil the surprise because the final results sure are pretty; but there is a difference in how the color shift paints look. I looked up the differences between color shift and iridescent, and it’s subtle: iridescent paints have a subtle shift between colors; whereas true color shift paints have a metallic look when dried and the shift is more pronounced. Let me know which version you prefer: color shift with a white base, or black? Tough call. One more to go in this series; stay tuned!!

PATREON: *********************************** THE RECIPE: House Paint-base aka puddle for the substrate: PPG MultiPro in Eggshell (Home Depot) Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator: Behr 8300 Untinted Deep Base Paint (Home Depot); and Valspar High Gloss Ultra Base C Untinted base (Lowe’s). 50/50. Mix well. NO varnish added! Use the colors of your choice! These tutorials are meant to educate and inspire! Here’s how to mix: Pigments: For a 3 oz cup I add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of pigment powder to the cup, then add enough gloss varnish (any brand; I use JoSonja gloss varnish) to cover the powder. Mix well until all pigment is thoroughly wet; then add the pouring medium. Golden, Atelier, and Da Vinci Fluid Acrylics: I put about 2-2 1/2 ounces of the pouring medium into a 3 ounce cup, then squirt in color until I reach my desired shade. Mix well. For tube paint, I added an ounce of paint (heaping tablespoon) to a 3 ounce cup, then added 2 ounces of pouring medium. If still thick I add a squirt of Golden’s High Flow Medium (thins and extends acrylic colors) and stir well. All pigments are 1/8th tsp. pre-disbursed with a small amount of JoSonja Varnish to wet it (stir really well), then add into a 3 oz. cup of Pouring Medium; stir well.
