This is my favorite of all time amazing "swipe". 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 use virtually all the colors of the rainbow. I apply them with my squeeze bottles of paint in zigzagging patterns and flatten them with a spatula. The color I use to start my swipe with is black. I use a damp cotton rag just wider than the canvas. I lay the cotton rag into the swipe color and slowly pull it over the rest of the colors to the other end of the canvas and let it fall over the end to cover that too with paint. I use residual paint left on the rag to add paint to the sides. My "pouring" mixture is 3/4 Floetrol with 1/4 (estimated) GAC800 from "Golden" (prevents cracking and adds shine to dry artwork.)mix it thoroughly. Depending on the paint the amounts of color can vary. I like to begin with a half-pouring mixture and half-color. After that is mixed VERY thoroughly I add more pouring mixture until the viscosity (thickness) is like warm hone. If I want it thinner I add more Pouring mixture. If the color is not strong enough I add more pigment. When mixing colors my amounts are always estimated and then altered to get the right consistency I like. I use plastic squeeze bottles with measurements on the side. I add a marble size steel ball bearing to aid in the mixing process. Marbles work well too but exercise caution if you end up with more than one they will shatter in the mixture eventually. It's imperative (Important) that all mixture be shaken thoroughly once before using in any session the first every time! The consistency is usually medium "body" weight, but other weights are usable with minor adjustments. 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 tight-fitting lid or seal the container with Glad sticky wrap. I have often used the 4oz size plastic deli containers, and the paint keeps for a long time in them, but you must stir before using the mix again. 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. I add a good squirt directly into whatever I am mixing in. I recommend experimenting to find out how much is enough for your ideal shimmer. Every day I learn new things. I will never stop experimenting, and I am happy to share what I discover with you.
