 I am using a 12"x16" stretched canvas. I begin by adding a layer of black paint to the whole surface of the canvas. I use a large silicone spatula to spread the even layer of paint. 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 am using up a leftover layered "dirty" cup, that still has a residual amount of silicone. I "ribbon" pour the augmented colors onto the canvas. I tilt the canvas to flow and spread the paint. When I get to the point that I appreciate the result of the tilting, I use squeeze bottles to add more accent colors when and where ever I feel the composition will benefit. I use a small flat front silicone spatula to add meld merge add and swipe paint. I use my breath to move paint using air tubing. I also like and even prefer a bendy straw for the same purpose. I use a bamboo skewer to make adjustments, and eventually, I love my results.
 
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.
