I have primed a 10"x20" stretched canvas black 2 times, and now I intend on creating a sun symbol using a small plastic scoop to apply the rays. I have colors left from the previous artwork ( another sun) . The colors are still close to what I might appreciate anyway. I also am using a 10 cube ice tray with solid colors I wish to use up. I have placed an appropriate sized lid in the area where I wish to add the central orb eventually. I scoop and combine and deposit colors around the lid in arching rays tapering out to a thin stream/ribbon. Using only my small scoop to add the multi-colored ribbons of paint. When its time to create the central orb, I fill my tiny scoop with a mixture of many colors and add a very small ring pour in place of the now-removed lid that was a place holder. I use a bamboo skewer dipped into the remaining colors and add a ring of dots around the central orb. The orb needs a little extra color, so I add a small amount of my favorite Filk art turquoise (colorshift-ing) paint 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.
