I am using a 16"x20" stretched canvas. All the acrylic paint colors I use are pre-mixed with additives to help them flow more easily. All my colors are stored and mixed in squeeze bottles for ease of use. I begin by adding a layer of black paint to the whole canvas. Next, I add just the gold paint in 7 long lines crossed over and use a very long piece of ball chain to pull the gold through the black. I continue in stages and add copper, and then an Artminds Deep Teal called Mysterious and last white pearl from Anitas. I use and dip the shorter pieces of chain into shorted deposits of colors and pull to add a curvacious mark. Then I up the ante and start adding 2 or more colors together at a time to pull. I do this until I feel I really like what I have. The edges of the canvas are filled in after the recording is over (using finger fulls of paint. 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 "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.
