I use a 16"x20" stretched canvas. All my colors are pre-mixed acrylics with additives to help them flow more easily. They are stored in a squeeze bottle for easy access. I squeeze colors directly onto the canvas and compose by spontaneous instinct...which I love before I tilt the canvas. I flow the paint as I tilt the canvas diagonally. I stop the paint from flowing off by holding an edge catcher against the edge of the canvas. When The paint pools against the edge of the canvas I tilt the canvas back again the other direction and flow the paint colors back into the artwork. If I find blank spots in the composition I add paint colors I like .i use a bamboo skewer to push-pull drag fill swipe waggle and generally tweak paint in any way I feel the composition will benefit.
My "pouring" mixture or "recipe" is simple- and starts with 2 parts(estimated) Gac 800 from "Golden "added into any acrylic paint color 8 parts, (amounts are always estimated) This starts the mixing process. Mix the paint and Gac thoroughly. Next, I add my mixed Floetrol and (half )Deco Art pouring medium. (shake it first every time! )The truth is lately, that's my go-to. I add the same (or more) ounces as the first two ingredients and mix everything thoroughly. The consistency is usually medium body/ weight, but other weights are usable with minor adjustments.
To mix, if you use squeeze bottles as I do, add a marble and shake your paints every time before you use them. All my acrylic paints are mixed in advance and contained and stored in squeeze bottles. If you are not using squeeze bottles, I suggest using a container that has a lid. I have often used the 4oz size plastic deli containers, and the paint keeps for a long time in them, but you still will have to stir before using the mix again because the Floetrol and other flow agents will rise to the top between uses. None of my acrylic paint has any added silicon. To create the pearlescent effects seen in most of my artworks, I use "Golden's" Iridescent pearl "Fine" added to colors. By "eye " until I am pleased with what I see.
Every day I learn new things. I will never stop experimenting, and I am happy to share what I discover with you.
