I am using a 16"x20" stretched canvas . I create containers of colors for the sky /mountain area and land below separately. I add layers of black and white to help flow the paint I will add next into those areas. I use a small plastic shovel to scoop out and deposit a puddle of the colors I created in the appropriate area. I use a small plastic scoop to use for delivering stripey paints to the bottom area of the canvas. I grab an edge catcher I place on the side of the canvas I flow the paint down and pool it and throw it back up into the design. And then in both directions back and forth to either side of the canvas to spread the paint across the canvas to fill more areas of blank areas of the canvas. The bottom is covered and I now focus on completely filling the area meant to be sky by using a silicone spatula. I use a variety of small spatulas to swipe various areas until I am happy. I use the residual paint from my edge catcher to cover the edges. This turns out to be a perfectly snowy mountain.
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.
