#arttechnique #deconstructedbloom #abstractart

Hey all! Let's make an abstract painting! I was in the middle of making a deconstructed bloom and I found myself fatigued of using the same process and, without any real conscience decision, decided to scrape the painting and start somewhere new, and moved forward to create an abstract painting instead of just stretched out blooms! Some elements remain but the act of scraping, moving and stretching completely changed the landscape. I was so lost in thought I didn't talk, so I hope you don't mind the music. This abstract piece came about very intuitively, and may be just the kick in the pants I need to go in a new art direction. I love the final outcome of this painting, and you can never go wrong with shades of blue, greens and gold!

THE RECIPE:

House Paint-base aka puddle for the substrate: PPG Multi-Pro in Satin at Home Depot.

Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator:

Behr 8300 Untinted Deep Base Paint (Home Depot); and Valspar High Gloss Ultra Base C Untinted base (Lowe's). 50/50. Mix well. NO varnish added!

Use the colors of your choice! These tutorials are meant to educate and inspire! Here's how to mix:

Pigments: For a 3 oz cup I add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of pigment powder to the cup, then add enough gloss varnish (any brand; I use JoSonja gloss varnish) to cover the powder. Mix well until all pigment is thoroughly wet; then add the pouring medium.

Any brand fluid or high flow acrylics: I put about 2-2 1/2 ounces of the pouring medium into a 3 ounce cup, then squirt in color until I reach my desired shade. Mix well.

For tube paint, I added an ounce of paint (heaping tablespoon) to a 3 ounce cup, then added 2 ounces of pouring medium. If still thick I add a squirt of Golden's High Flow Medium (thins and extends acrylic colors) and stir well. All pigments are 1/8th tsp. pre-disbursed with a small amount of JoSonja Varnish to wet it (stir really well), then add into a 3 oz. cup of Pouring Medium; stir well.

Cell Activator/Color: Australian Floetrol + TriArt Carbon Black and Titanium White . 2.5 -1 ratio Floetrol to paint.
