   #2686 Scooped Rainbow Ribbon & A Smidgen Of Silicon Tilted Contemporary Art  Fluid Acrylics 5.1.2018 
           
 I am using a 16" x 20" pre-primed mat black stretched canvas. Colors both  Iridescent and metallic are used to pour paint using a large spoon to dip from a container of colors. Some spray silicone from "Blaster" spritzed into the bottom when using spray silicone a mask is recommended. The canvas is tilted tipped repeatedly in all directions to obtain the flow necessary to spread the paint. Gold lines were added after the recording finished. In this artwork particularly my pouring medium was 50%Floetrol 10% Gac 800 from Gloden then adding color to start the mixing process generally about 50% of any mixture . This can be less if the viscosity is as desired. The fluidness of warm honey. Golden "iridescent pearl fine" is added to colors to create the pearlescent effects shown in most of my artworks.

As of 2021 my "pouring" mixture is 3/4 Floetrol with 1/4 (estimated) GAC800 from "Golden" (prevents cracking and adds shine to dry artwork.)mixed in thoroughly. Depending on the paint, the amount of color used can vary. I like to begin with half pouring mixture and half color. After that is mixed VERY thoroughly I add more pouring mixture until the viscosity (thickness) is like warm honey. 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 to my bottle to aid in the mixing process. Marbles work well 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 seals 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.
If I am using a cell accelerator to create a cell/blooming effect, the paint will be Amsterdam black (mixed with my usual pouring medium mixture)with the addition of 10 drops of Minwax pre-stain wood conditioner added for every 2 ounces of mixed paint. 
 Meeden black acrylic paint with added 1-2% distilled water added, offering an excellent cell-making capacity as an alternative.
