I am using an 18"x 24"x2" the canvas is primed with a heavy layer of white paint. Maybe too much. I am using just black paint from my already mixed squeeze bottles of paint. I am attempting a black-and-white abstract with a calligraphic feeling. Lots of lines. But they sink into the white paint until I use a propane torch gently all over the surface (to release bubbles in the paint.) and that also firms up the paint and allows me to continue adding more black lines to the design until I feel its time to let it be and see how it dries and work on it again to finish the artwork. At last, I finish, using maybe the wrong tool and in the rain again. Still, I'm happy. THERE IS NO SILICONE in this artwork's paint mix.

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 advise a well-ventilated room and those with respiratory issues to avoid or use a respirator.

My paint mixture/ pouring medium consists of 3/4 Floetrol and 1/4 GAC 800 by Golden mixed well. To this "pouring medium" recipe I add 50% Paint 50%to the mixture, which is a guesstimate to be generally 3/4 Floetrol with 1/4 (estimated) GAC800 from "Golden" (prevents cracking and adds shine to dry artwork.) I add paint and mix thoroughly until I
get my ideal desired viscosity. Amounts always depend on the viscosity and color saturation of the acrylic paint used, so the amounts of color needed will vary.
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.

Every day I learn new things. I will never stop experimenting, and I am happy to share what I discover with you. These artworks are my art therapy. I am a contemporary abstract expressionist painter. intuitive art intuitive artist priscilla batzell artist contemporary art
