Oh. My. Freaking. GOD!!! Remember I told you I finally found the deco art satin enamels last week.... well I've watched this video 10 times, used exactly the same stuff and I wish I could show you this painting I just did! It looks just like yours! I'm blown away! I have to go pop a bottle of champagne now and cry! Thank you thank you thank you 😊

I know this video was made four years ago, however, you are an amazing artist you are an amazing teacher! Never, and I mean, never in the last many months have I heard anyone else explain it so precisely and so clearly with explanations that are easy to understand. So many many many thanks to you. I appreciate you. I can’t wait to look at your other videos. I hope that you’re still painting, take care of yourself. God bless you. You are very talented.

Your cloud pour is my #1 fave of all pours, I've always used your mix and it took some practice of course but when I finally got it I was soooo happy .. I wasn't going to give up till I got it right. Now to this day whenever I am having trouble with a different technique or get frustrated with a certain pour I just put it down & walk away for a bit and come back and do your cloud pour just to clear my mind and bring myself back to "center" ... a good cloud pour always makes me feel better & relaxes me. I have tons of them laying around in my art room. Lol . Your puddle pours with the finger swipe is another all time fave & I've NEVER called it by any other name than Melys finger swipe pour no matter how I lay my paints down I love the feeling of running my fingers through the paints . You have came up with & shared many great techniques to the pouring world & you will always be the inspiration behind those pours for me. Its good to see you excited over your cloud mix ...I love it !!! 😘😘😘😘 (apron lady lol)

Consistency consistency consistency. It is the main driving force no matter what technique, but absolute truth when it comes to cloud mix. Now I get that my failures have not been my cloud mix but the choice of color brands. Thank you for making it straight forward. Liquitex has a very large spectrum of colors that we can mix paints to get what we want. Thank you for this video. Glad this painting sold. Stay well and safe. Take time to put a smile on your face and heart. What did it for us was being gifted with a new dog. He has changed us from being sad and fearful too, cautious, and happy.

Mely. You are always so right when I preach on the value of experimentation and practice. It's transformative. Thank u for figuring out the cloud recipe. I am also waiting for a studio space. My first ever. I can't wait to get my hands on some satin enamels.. Ugh... I guess it wasn't an essential product. It finally came back and flew off the shelves before I could get any. Dear deco art.. Do not discontinue ur satin enamels before I get to play with them. Sincerely, An American on a budget... Ha ha. But seriously. I do value ur work and the out of the box thinking. You have pushed me to be a more daring artist. Plus u are just so friendly and loveable. Such a great teacher. Oh if I had money I'd FILL ur patreon or whatever u opened to the BRIM! You ad?d value to many ppls lives. Thank you for sharing urself with us:)

This was the best lesson on cloud painting I’ve seen

[ellinmariee]

Thanks for telling us why the paints work or don't work. The finished result is beautiful!

The Liquitex Pouring Medium helps so much!!! ❤️ I've ran out before and it isn't the same with just floetrol. The Liquitex Pouring Medium gives that "pebble" effect too.
Thank you for this mixture. I STILL (even last night in my LIVE video) mention you all the time in appreciation for the cloud mix formula.
