I am using a 16"x20" stretched canvas. I use paint colors stored in squeeze bottles that are all pre-mixed with additives to help them flow more easily. I add colors to the canvas in a zig-zag pattern and then add vertical lines of alternating white and black between them. All the paint is added using squeeze bottles. Next, I  use the damp cotton rag just wider than the canvas and folded to add a grip. The rag has a straight edge across its bottom (doubled cloth from using the hem portion -*important) from a tee-shirt, this is my "swipe" cloth. I use the rag dampened with water and rung out and then dragged gently over the colors, starting at one end of the canvas.         
I  have added an extra heavy area of paint as a "swipe color". I dip the cloth into the swipe color at the end of the canvas, where I begin to pull from the end and use a wavy motion to change the pattern created from the usual (straight) to one with many curves.and beginning to pull. My swipe colors alternating black and white stripes. After pulling the rag the length of the canvas, I unearth colors by blowing channels into the thick paint to expose the buried colors. I finish by adding some colors where I felt they were needed where the swipe began, from squeeze bottles (pre-mixed). I also use a bamboo skewer to make adjustments to the additional accent colors.

My "pouring" mixture or "recipe" is simple and starts with 2 parts (estimated) GAC 800 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 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.
