This was about experimenting with DecoArt paints but also using a cell activator (with titanium white paint) so create a lacing and webbing effect. I love how the colors are so subtle underneath it looks a bit like you're in outer space.

Tutorial Information and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

▶ ️ Technique for this Tutorial: Swipe

▶ ️ Pouring Medium formula (unless otherwise stated in the video): My paints are mixed with paint, water and a pouring medium (Floetrol Owatrol) with a ratio of 1:0.5:2 - You may have to adjust your ratios depending on the paint brands you use.

Note: Floetrol Owatrol is thicker than the US version of Flood Floetrol so you might not need the water element when mixing your paints.

▶ ️ Cell Activator: When I use a cell activator, I use Australian Floetrol and Titanium White with the ratio of 4:1 - You can experiment with other alternatives like Silicone Oil, Vegetable glycerin, pre-stain wood conditioner or even just paint and water.

▶ ️ Color Palette for this Creation (Brand and Color Name):
DecoArt Americana Enchanted Shimmer - Blue, Gold, Magenta, Violet, White, Green.
Royal Talens Amsterdam: Lamp Black

▶ ️ Hair dryer: When I use a hair dryer I use the Remington D3010 and always use the cool setting and the lowest blow speed.
