So for a further breakdown of the little symbols on the paint tubes for those that are interested... Solid square (or circle) is opaque, a half filled square is semi-translucent, & a "empty" square is translucent. These squares (or circles, depending on brand) also *help* you with determining the density of the paint to help with creating cells/lacing without using additives such as silicone or dimethicone but rather using the Rayleigh-Taylor instability to create your cells. Also, synthetic paint colors versus their nature based friends will do odd things (sometimes cool & sometimes not... 😉) so knowing your paint make up will help you mix your paints with other elements better. 😉 I'm an art nerd that loves the science behind things & just wanted to share a bit... 🎨🤓😁🤪 I hope I didn't over step, Johnny... 🥰 ✌🏼💜😄 Tish

Thanks so much for advising to wear a mask. You are one of the few mica powder artists to do so and it is so important.

[Divya-JC]

Thank you for pointing out the hazards of using Mica powder. Most people don't understand that they need to be very careful. Glad you're sharing this information

[bernadetteflynn]

Omg I’ve been using mica powder for ages and I’ve never worn a mask.
Thank you for sharing that. ❤️👏

[FosterCe]

You are really the only one that really explains all this. I just started painting and just bought mica. Thank you so much!

[kelliquinn]

Truly are blessed you were born to be a teacher. So many thank yous that I owe you and I especially thank you today for the separating your videos it makes it so much easier for just focusing on one thing at a time. Maybe it's just me I'm old some people want to jam and all in one video and blows my mind information overload. This was very helpful more than you know turned out so I'm going to give it another shot today. Known at that particular kind of hard as wondering if my triple thick would be okay I'm going to give it a try keep your fingers crossed. Thank you I know this is a lot of work putting together it's a labor of love and you are appreciated. Have Friday

My guy, I just bought mica powders and you weren't kidding. There is very little out there explaining how to use them properly. Thank you for making this video! I wouldn't have worn a mask, I would've mixed my mica straight into my paint and I would probably have used opaque paint and been confused as to where the mica went. I am super grateful for this info. Subscribed 👍

[MrsCynfuller]

Thank you, I have used mica powders with my resin, but could not figure out how to mix with paint. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[tammyparo]

Thank you for taking the time to do this tutorial. It's less complicated than so many I have come across and you explain it so well. Much apprectiated.

[mumo]

I'm a newby. Never realise about the notice boxes on paint before. No one has ever mentioned this before & I've watched a LOT of videos. Excellent tutorial thankyou so much!

[tonyacaudill]

Thank you! Your the only person lve seen who explained the best method of mixing the mica powder and what the little boxes mean on the paint!! 💗

[cp]

Your videos are absolute gold for beginners. Thank you!!

[tinahamilton]

Thank you. This was very helpful, especially when you pointed out the necessity of using transparent paint.

[J.Canvas_Art]

You literary answered everything for me. Greatly appreciate it! The Liquitex transparency symbol was mindblowing. Did not expect that info. Thank you once again! You rock. 🤘🏼

[Marie-LouiseArt]

Thank you so much for this Johnny. I’m mixing mica powders for the first time today so will let you know how I get on. ❤

[deardiaryboutique]

Greatly explained, straight to the point and just a little over 5 mins, thank you!

[lindarebello]

I have mica paints but wasn't sure how to mix them. I've learned a lot from you already. Thank you Johnny, I appreciated everything you've shared. 💕

[lpcookie]

Very appreciative of this video. I've used mica powders for gel nail designs and making new colors. No mention on any videos, or instructions with the micas, of needing to wear a mask while mixing😯. Guess I better do that next time, and certainly will for mixing with medium. Ty for all the information shared.

[jamiedenton]

I really appreciate all your mini tutorials. I will be taking the plunge with acrylic pours in January. Your videos have given me so much info that my confidence in the process is soaring! Thank you so much!
