I am using a  large  3 ft x 3 ft " stretched canvas with 2" deep gallery wrapped edges. I want plenty of negative space. I scoop colorful acrylic paint with additives already mixed into the paint. I use combinations of colorful paints scooped up from a dish and add them to the large canvas where ever I feel they will allow the best composition. I tilt the canvas to allow the paints to flow spread and create cells. The cells are a result of the paint being stretched and agitated. I do this until the recording ends. 



My"pouring" mixture or "recipe" is simple- and starts with 2 Parts(estimated) GAC 800 from "Golden "added into any acrylic paint 8 parts, (amounts are always estimated) This starts the mixing process. Mix the paint and Gac thoroughly. Next, 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 small marble into the bottle to
help mix the paint. 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.
