I am using a 10"x20" stretched canvas. I add acrylic colors in puddles to the surface of the canvas. The paints are pre-mixed with additives to help them flow more easily and stored in squeeze bottles for extended usefulness. When a canvas ( or whatever )is tilted, the additives the agitation of stretching the paint encourages the creation of patterns /cells. My original intent was to add paint to canvas and swipe over the colors using a tool to skim paint across the surface of the other colors. I expected to create patterns. But as I used the edge catcher to stop the paint from escaping, as I flowed the paint across the canvas, and it filled the voids of the canvas, and the colors merged, the paints reacted to each other beautifully. That is when I choose a different path and allowed the merging paints to affect each other. I chose to save the resulting patterns created when the canvas was tilted. The paint pooled on the plastic sheeting I used to stop the paint from escaping. I used that paint and flowed it back into the patterns already on the canvas by tilting back in the direction from which it had come. I repeated this in degrees on each side and used the slight rocking motion of the edge catcher to flow paint onto and cover the canvas sides also.
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 often use the 4oz size plastic deli containers, the paint keeps for a long time this way. But you will still have to stir before using the mix again. The Floetrol and other flow agents 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.
