I re-use a 16"x20" canvas with a painting I don't hate but just doesn't have enough impact. All the paints I use are acrylic paints mixed with additives to help them flow more easily.  I use my pre-mixed squeeze bottles of paint, adding white and spreading it with a spatula. Which continues to be the tool of choice as I continue to add more colors exactly where I feel the should go. Swiping pulling dragging and squeegeeing paint as I wish A bit more manipulation with a bamboo skewer and I'm very very 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. Warming the paint will also often encourage patterns to emerge because the paint in combination with the Floetrol used in my pouring mix encourages cells to form.
 

 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. 

Before each new painting session remixing the paint is necessary, if you use squeeze bottles as I do, adding a glass marble helps mix the paint when you shake your paints before each painting session.
 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. To see finished wet and dry versions of all my Youtube demonstration artworks for sale  visit my Expressionist Art Studio Gallery Fb albums linked below
