I am using a 12 " x 16"x 2" stretched canvas. The blooms in this artwork begin with a puddle of semi-gloss latex house paint as a base or Pillow the colors are added to a "pillow" of semi-gloss house paint. Whatever colors are used are added to (for blooms) mixed with Minwax Polycrylic (1/4)(there are alternatives), then ( 3/4 ) un-tinted semi-gloss latex house paint DEEP base is added and mixed thoroughly. The colors are applied onto the house paint pillow sparingly ( often single strands are layered right on top of each other). There is no pouring medium used in the colors. The colors can be almost anything and can be added to the Polycrylic. The "cell activator" mixture is the bloom Catalyst and consists only of 3/4 Floetrol and *almost any color .25%. Only a small amount is laid over the other colors on top of the pillow of paint. Agitating the paint colors by swiping or blowing on the cell activator to spread the bloom out and form cells. Then you must wait a moment to see what cells emerge. When ready more blowing down into the activated paint spreads the patterns and the colors emerge and meld amazingly when the canvas it tilted. If your lucky beautiful lacy patterns emerge when things go well. Paint tilted off into a container can be used as another pillow (if kept sealed from the air while stored). I use a propane torch extremely quickly and cautiously and in a well-ventilated space. It is passed over the surface of the paint to encourage patterns to emerge because the paint in combination with the Floetrol used in my cell activator encourages cells to form. To create the pearlescent effects seen in most of my artworks, Warming the paint will also often encourage patterns to emerge because the paint in combination with the Floetrol used in cell activator to form.

The acrylic paints I use mixed with pouring mediums or pouring medium substitutes ( Floetrol) to help them flow more easily. All my colors are stored and mixed in squeeze bottles for ease of use. I use 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 Floetrol used in my pouring mix encourages cells to form.
My regular"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) 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 glass marble and shake your paints every time before you use them.

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