I use a pre-primed black 16"x 20" canvas. All my acrylic paints are mixed with a pouring medium in advance contained in squeeze bottles without any addition of silicon. I add white paint in blocks to parts of the canvas's surface to allow the paint I will add to flow better. I add paint using a small silicone spatula dipped into multi-colors and tapped in place where I want to make marks.I dip a bamboo skewer into the multi-colored paints and use the paint that adheres to the stick allowing stripes to be created. I add paint in streams and dribbles from my squeeze bottles of paints where I want more colors or new lines.I do this until time runs out in part one and then I do it more until I am finished and satisfied.
The "pouring" mixture recipe I add to my generally is 3/4 Floetrol with 1/4 (estimated) GAC800 from "Golden" (prevents cracking and adds shine to dry artwork.)mix into it thoroughly.
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 begin with half pouring mixture and half color. After that is mixed 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 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.

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.

Every day I learn new things. I will never stop experimenting, and I am happy to share what I discover with you.
