I am using a stretched 16"x20".I fill a small plastic dollar store dustpan with first black and next white and lower the dustpan to the canvas and release the contents across it in a wide ribbon of paint. I tilt the canvas, flow the paint and stop the paint from escaping and pool the paint on an edge catcher and throw it back into the partially covered canvas. I use a small silicone spatula to use paint from the edge catcher and add it to the canvas and also cover some naked canvas. I have leftover paint, and I dip a small plastic shovel into the container and allow a striped ribbon of paint to trail over a portion of the canvas. I continue to tilt the canvas to spread the abstract patterns. I add more paint using the shovel until I can use up as much of it as possible and use the small silicone spatula to remove residuals and add them to the design on the canvas. I use a loop of chain held in one hand and dragged through the wet paint to add some trials to the patterns. I use a bamboo skewer for minor adjustments.
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.
