Hi all! Until I get my lighting situation sorted in my studio, the next couple of videos are filmed in my doggie pool on the floor in the corner to prevent glare so you can actually see what I'm doing LOL. This is the second video on a 20x20 Level 2 gallery wrapped canvas. I was pretty happy with the end results, but because I did 8 (!!!) paintings in this color palette, I decided to modify it by adding some dot work along the edges and the middle. I love the look on the edges; not too sure about the middle but it gave me a lot of ideas on how to do this on other types of poursespecially a dutch pour, so be on the lookout for a video on that too! I'm using a new to me pouring medium recipe too and omitting varnish altogethercheck out the recipe below! I'm totally taken with this color palette; let me know what you think and thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out FAB!!

*************************************************************
Colors/Brands/Pouring Medium:

House Paintbase aka puddle for the substrate:

PPG MultiPro in Eggshell.

Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator:

Behr 8300 Untinted Deep Base Paint (Home Depot); and Valspar Ultra Base C Untinted base. 50/50. Mix well. NO varnish added!

Brands/Colors mixed:

Golden Fluid Acrylics in Iridescent Bright Gold, and Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold. This Little Piggy pigments in Waterfall and Lagoon; Da Vinci Fluid Acrylics in Indigo.

Golden, Atelier, and Da Vinci Fluid Acrylics: I put about 22 1/2 ounces of the pouring medium into a 3 ounce cup, then squirt in color until I reach my desired shade. Mix well.

For tube paint, I added an ounce of paint (heaping tablespoon) to a 3 ounce cup, then added 2 ounces of pouring medium. If still thick then I'll add a teaspoon of varnish/water to thin. (I make a bottle of "JoWa" by adding 1/3 JoSonja Gloss Varnish and the rest water, and keep it in a squeeze bottle and use as my "water.")

All pigments are 1/8th tsp. predisbursed with a small amount of JoSonja Varnish to wet it (stir really well), then add into a 3 oz. cup of Pouring Medium; stir well.

Cell Activator Color:

Australian Floetrol + Amsterdam Lamp Black and Amsterdam Grayish Blue. Approximately 3:1 ratio Floetrol to paint.
