Joyce Farkas Fluid Art
Welcome to my channel, Joyce Farkas Fluid Art, I don’t profess to be a teacher, but enjoy sharing my knowledge and my take on the growing and ever changing world of Fluid Art. So welcome, please like and subscribe, and let's paint!
In todays painting I was using my new Tri-Art fluid paints. I used a pouring medium of Behr 8300 and Valspar Ultra, then added a few drops of color at a time to achieve the color I wanted. Then added a few drops of water to thin if needed. This painting recieved over 1000 total reactions on facebook, and hundreds of comments.

For Blooms
Base Paints:
My favorite is Sherwin Williams Color to go
or
PPG Multi Pro Eggshell #47-3110 (Home Depot)
Pouring Medium:
Valspar Ultra High gloss Base C - 3 parts (Lowes)
Varathane Ultimate- 1 part (Home Depot)
or
Valspar Ultra High Gloss Base C - 1 Part/50% (Lowes)
Behr 8300 Deep Base- 1 Part/50% (Home Depot)
Cell Activator:
Australian Floetrol - 3 Parts
Paint- 1 part
Amsterdam , and Triart are my go to paints for cell activator, 5 second trace off the stick
To thicken paints/pigment - I use 8300
To thin paints/pigments - I use Golden High Flow Medium or 50/50 mix of JoSonja gloss Varnish & water.
If you have to add alot of a thinning agent above... When in doubt throw it out! (a little refference to my Food Service days) because it WILL ruin your painting!
Recipe for Pours:
1 part paint
2-3 parts American floetrol
1teaspoon GAC 800
Or
Or make a pouring medium for pours
1 cup Heavy Gloss Gel
3 cups floetrol
1t GAC 800
To mix paints with this recipe
1-2 parts above medium
1 part paint
Add more floetrol and water to desired consistency
Base for all my pours(not blooms)
Pro Mar 200 interior latex semi gloss from Sherman Williams
Mix Pro Mar 5 cups
2 ounces liquid pouring medium
2ounces of Gac 800
2 ounces acrylic medium polymer gloss
3 cups American floetrol
water as needed for consistency
I purchase Pro Mar in black and white and is very reasonable in price. It makes a large batch and keeps for a very long time. I am still using a batch I made over a year ago just needs a good stir each time I use it.
You can use this mix for any pour base. 🥰
For Cloud Pours:
Artist Loft Soft Body Paint- 1 Part
Deco art satin enamel- 1 part
American floetrol- 2 parts
Vallejo Pearl Medium - to thin to 2-3 second trace
-can also thin to Paint Consistancy with Water
For mixing Tube Paint's for cloud pours: (also works for Straight, and Ring Pours)
3 parts US Floetrol to 1 part paint, also add a squirt of Vallejo, pearl medium
For mixing Pigments for cloud pours: (also works for Straight, and Ring Pours)
-Disperse Pigment in Either JoSonja, or Liquitex High Gloss Varnish... mix well
-Add about 1 Teaspoon of Sax Gel Medium till kinda ploppy/should be kinda thick... mix well
-Then add 1-2 Tablespoons of US Floetrol... mix well
** Special Advice**- Use fresh paint, if it sits too long (like weeks/months) then it will become too thick, sometimes you can thin it back down, but that thinning will sometimes compromise the paint, and ruin your painting. So I dont recommend mixing a huge batch of paint. Plan your color pallets, mix what you need and if you have left over incorporate those left overs in the next piece.Or, I sometimes combine leftovers into custom colors and add a bit of fl
Thanks for watching…Happy Painting everyone! Bye for now!
