Make Puffy Dots.. Easy! No Layers!

I did it! I made HUGE Puffy Dots and Swooshes without layering paint. I did it with and WITHOUT Heavy Bodied Paint... Easy! If you're like me and you are invested in fluid body paint and you don't have the patience for layering dots and waiting for paint to dry... this is the video for you! I made gorgeous puffy dots using DecoArt Americana paint, DecoArt Dazzling Metallics, and even a Heavy Bodied Paint in case that's what you have! I even tried some ready made 3D paints! Wait until you see how easy it is! My Mandala paintings will never be the same!!!
Poring medium should have been pouring medium… sigh i messed up again 😂

Oh you are so sweet! What a great thing you did here for us all. I still maintain heavy body Arteza with pouring medium, pile the paint on that dot and it’s perfect every time. But like you, I have a lot of DecoArt Americana so this was quite helpful. Thank you 🙏

I tried to use DA Americana with HG (but not with the pouring medium), to try to get puffy dots. My problem was they all sank in the middle as they dried, leaving little craters. I wondered if it had to do with climate. I would think the paints would dry slower where it's more humid. I'm in Arizona where the air is super dry, so maybe the faster the air sucks the moisture out of the paints, the more they crater. I dunno. I've taken to using the liquid pearls and Nuvo Drops to minimize frustration. The only problem with that is sometimes I want specific colors. I think I'll try the experiment again with some pouring medium and see if that resolves the crater problem. Fingers crossed. And, thanks so much for your dedication to making all these videos and helping all of us. You rock!

You are like a mad scientist! and you GOT IT!!! But somehow I knew it would be from a squeeze bottle that you'd get the best dots. I had ordered a whole set of those soft squeezy bottles and I use them all the time for lots of different things!! I love that little stirring gadget too!

Good morning! Great experiment, as always, I learned a lot. Bubbles are the bane of my existence any time I stir my paints. Yours always look perfect and bubble free :-) Wishing you lots of hot coffee this morning and a beautiful day!

Try adding a small amount of a texture paste to the mix you have made in the squeeze bottle this will give the paint a bit more body and help hold the form better ….. even a tiny squirt of pva glue would also help hold the puffy dots too - but definitely the texture paste will make a huge difference 🎉

Have you tried Nuvo drops? It’s a bit thicker than the liquid pearl.
