Thank you for your thumbs-up; it is immensely appreciated!

Thank you for your patience and apologies, this video (Part 1) while worth seeing for the process, is a bit dark and a bit fuzzy. Part 2 is better, I promise. And I will never record indoors again.

I am using a 12"x16" 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 create a garden with swipe methods and manipulate the creation of flowers and foliage with a bamboo skewer. I ribbon-pour some colors onto the area at the top of the canvas I expect to make a sky. I swipe the colors to cover the whole top third using a dampened cotton rag to pull from one side to the other. I add greens to the area at the bottom, where I expect to create the impression of foliage using paint from squeezable containers. I pull the swipe rag vertically down to the bottom of the canvas and over the edge using residuals to cover the bottom edge and the sides too. For the flowers, I use a pipette filled with color and deposit a blob onto the canvas, where I manipulate it using a bamboo skewer that drags paint from the blob to give the impression of petals. I continue until I run out of time. Part 2 is of better quality.

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) DecoArt 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 glass 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.
