I am using a 16" x 20" stretched pre-primed black 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 begin with Prussian blue (Navy blue)swiped into the sky are as far down as I expect the horizon to be and add a few accent colored clouds and swipe them in place too. I scrape off the silicone spatula used to create the sky onto a small saucer, the leftover colors will add interest to the white I will add to create the landscape part of the scene.
I add minuscule amounts of colors (some purple)and integrate them into the white. I add a layer of wet paint from the bottom of the canvas up to the horizon line (deep gray)to help flow the next colors I will add. I make up enough (snowy)colors so I can deposit them on top of just one side of the canvas. I raise up the canvas to flow the colors across it. Once I have flowed the snow colors I want more texture so I use a modified basting brush. The new stripes make interesting patterns when I tilt the canvas to flow the paint again. I repeat this process and use a small plastic card to flow residual paint onto so I can use it where I feel the composition will benefit. I use the spatula to scrape up the residuals and use them at the horizon to create a mountain range in the distance just by dabbing the blade of the spatula there. I add a small circle of white paint representing the moon. The white has a bit of blue, and I use a bamboo skewer to make adjustments to the moon to finish until I am happy. 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.


My "pouring" mixture or "recipe" is simple and starts with 2 parts (estimated) GAC800 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 silicone. 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.
