This helps make my studio usable for an indoor working/teaching/gallery space.

I am using a 14"x14" 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 am utilizing a small plastic dustpan to hold a  variety of colors added with squeeze bottles. I use an inexpensive dollar store plastic dustpan with. I then dump/pour the contents out onto the canvas in the wide ribbon of paint the edge of the dustpan allows. I tip the paint and stop it from escaping, catch it before it can drip away and push it back onto the canvas. Wasting NOTHING by using my "edge catcher".  Edge catchers are made from the protective layer of plastic used on the front of a value pack of Artist loft 16"x20" (5 to a package ). I cut them to fit the long side of a canvas. The uncovered canvas is filled in with white paint after the fact and a smidgen of bamboo skewering is allowed. 

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