#8192a Fabulous Tree-scape Stage 1 Contemporary Art Fluid Acrylics 7.172021intuitive art

I am using a 16" x 20" stretched canvas. 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. Meeden black acrylic paint with an added 1-2% distilled water, offering excellent cell-making capacity as an alternative. 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 their own. Warming the paint will also often encourage patterns to emerge because the paint in combination with the American Floetrol used in my pouring mix encourages cells to form.

If I am using a cell accelerator to create a blooming effect, the paint will be Amsterdam black (mixed with my usual pouring medium mixture)with 10 drops of Minwax pre-stain wood conditioner added for every 2 ounces of mixed paint.

The "pouring" mixture recipe I add to my generally is 3/4 Floetrol with 1/4 (estimated) GAC800 from "Golden" (prevents cracking and adds shine to dry artwork.)mix into it thoroughly.
Amounts always depend on the viscosity and color saturation of the acrylic paint used, so the amounts of color needed will vary.
I like to begin with half pouring mixture and half color. After that is mixed thoroughly, I add more pouring mixture until the viscosity (thickness) is like warm hone. If I want it thinner, I add more Pouring mixture. If the color is not strong enough, I add more pigment. When mixing colors, my amounts are always estimated and then altered to get the right consistency 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.

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 tight-fitting lid or seals the container with Glad sticky wrap. I have often used the 4oz size plastic deli containers with airtight lids, and the paint keeps for a long time in them, but you must stir before using the mix again. 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. I add a good squirt directly into whatever I am mixing in. I recommend experimenting to find out how much is enough for your ideal shimmer.

Every day I learn new things. I will never stop experimenting, and I am happy to share what I discover with you.
