In Part 1, I began with a dry 16"x20" stretched canvas with a very purple, very flat looking ring pour on it. I decided I should keep some purple and let the rest be covered with other colors. I have a pan of colors and use a small scoop and ribbon dribble the colors in some wild and waving striped rivers of color. I tilt the canvas to flow and stretch the patterns in the paint. I do this again and again. I use my squeeze bottles to add gold accents and colorful ribbons of paint wherever I feel I can improve the artwork. I use a bamboo skewer and a small silicone spatula to make minor adjustments when I am finished  I like what I have when I finish I think its an improvement. A  propane torch is cautiously passed over the surface of the canvas to release any air in the paint that might result in bubbles forming while the artwork dries or leaving pockmarks if left to pop on there own.

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 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.
