If you're like me you LOVE blooms, but don't want the hassle and expense of experimenting with house paints. I'd much rather be able to create a similar effect with acrylic paint and mediums I already have on hand. So I put my analytical brain to work experimenting with different paint brands, thicknesses, and additives as well as different blowing and stretching techniques. The result is this tutorial which I hope will allow you to achieve consistent success with you no house paint bloom goals. Scroll down for mixing ratios. Thanks for watching!

Ingredients:
*Medium Body Acrylic Paint such as Liquitex Basics or Artists Loft (Michael's Brand)
*Floetrol
*Elmers GlueAll (I've heard Elmers School Glue works as well)

Mixing Ratios
Base Paint and Colours: 1 part paint: 1 part Floetrol: 1 part water
Cell Activator: 1 part titanium white*: 1 part Elmers GlueAll water 70/30 mix: 1/2 part water..... paper test thicknesses and adjust until base and colours are all equal and cell activator is slightly thinner
*while I've found this ration will work with most brands of paint, I do recommend using a Titanium White for the cell activator. Titanium white is one of the heaviest pigments and more likely to produce a reaction
