I am using a 9"x 12" stretched 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 have leftovers to use. The colors leftover are still in my small plastic "dollar store" dustpan. I empty my dustpan onto the canvas and tip the canvas to allow the paint to flow across it, adding a few more colors as I access the design (from my squeeze bottles of pre-mixed colors). I use my mini-blade silicone spatulas to swipe areas and a bamboo skewer to move paint also. I use a propane torch cautiously, at a distance (low flame) is used to release bubbles trapped in the paint. The camera is new and has an automatic zoom, so everything is very close. The Camera shuts off at only 10 minutes.
 
My paint mixture/ pouring medium consists of 3/4 Floetrol and 1/4 GAC 800 by Golden mixed well . To this "pouring medium" recipe I add 50% Paint 50%to the mixture, which is a guesstimate to be generally 3/4 Floetrol with 1/4 (estimated) GAC800 from "Golden" (prevents cracking and adds shine to dry artwork.) I add paint and mix thoroughly until I get my ideal desired viscosity. Amounts always depend on the viscosity and color saturation of the acrylic paint used, so the amounts of color needed will vary. I like to use plastic squeeze bottles with measurements on the side. I add a marble into the bottle to aid in the mixing process. Marbles work well but exercise caution if you end up with more than one because they will shatter in the mixture eventually. It's imperative (Important) that all mixture be shaken thoroughly again before using in any session every time! 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.
