Using a 16″x20″ canvas. All the paints I use are acrylic paints mixed with additives to help them flow more easily. All my colors are stored and mixed in squeeze bottles for ease of use. I cover the entire surface with a layer of white paint to help the paint I add onto the canvas next flow more easily. I have a container of colors that were left from another artwork and I use a small plastic sand shovel dipped into it to flow paint onto the wet canvas in wide ribbons on just one end..I tip the canvas to allow the paint to spread and enhance the opportunity for the flowing paint to make patterns as its agitated. I use an edge catcher against the side of the canvas where the colors are and that helps fill in a few areas and flow the paint some more. I use a silicone flat front spatula to drag and pull paint. I use a silicone basting brush with spaces between the bristles to drag paint in long ropey textured strokes reminiscent of plants in a breeze. I Use the loop of a strand of ball chain in one hand to drag more textured ribbons and spirals sweeping upward into the white negative space above all the colors. I use another small spatula to drag long spikes of paint from the body of colors and last I use a bamboo skewer to make even thinner spikes and add some spirals to there tips

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.
