I am using a 16" x20" stretched canvas. All the acrylic paints and pigments I use are mixed with additives to help them flow more easily. All my colors are stored and mixed in squeeze bottles for ease of use. I create a container of layers of color alternating black with gold to help create drama. I am using acrylic colors mixed with additives to help the paint spread /flow and hopefully allow patterns as the paint agitated by stretching. I add the paint from the ring pour container to the center of the canvas and let it spread out as I tip the canvas, letting gravity work its magic. When I like the pattern I see and do not want to make the pattern change too much more by tipping the original added paint ...I add more paint near the edges. I allow the ring pour paint to merge and pool on an edge catcher before tipping the canvas and flowing the newly added paint back into the composition like a wave, changing everything in its path I guide the flow of paint as I tip the canvas until eventually, I have shapes I am pleased with. A propane torch is cautiously passed over the surface of the canvas to release any air in the paint that might result in bubbles forming while the artwork dries or leaving pockmarks if left to pop on their own. Warming the paint will also often encourage patterns to emerge because the paint in combination with the Floetrol used in my pouring mix encourages cells to form.


My updated "pouring" mixture or "recipe" is simple and starts with 3/4 parts Floetrol with 1/4 GAC800 from "Golden" added together mixed well. If you use squeeze bottles as I do, I begin by adding a small amount to the bottom of a bottle and then add whichever acrylic paint color I wish to that. An object like a glass marble or a large ball bearing or a smooth stone will aid the mixing process well. If the paint is heavy it helps to dilute it early on before adding more color or pouring medium (Shake it again on the day you're using it ). The correct consistency depends on the heaviness of the paint used in the mixture. And the thickness can be a personal choice.I like mine like warm honey. In most cases, I use the same amount of paint as a pouring mixture. If the colors are strong or the mixture is too heavy I add more pouring mixture until I am happy with the consistency 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 silicone. 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.
