Hi all! I decided I was so in love this the first black base painting that I had to see if I could repeat it! This is on a really nice substrate; an 18x24 Ampersand Gessobord. I ended up deconstructing this one as well and am really please with the composition. There is a comparison at the end of all 3 paintings in this series; let me know which is your favorite. I think the next series will focus on using warm and cool tones, and I can't wait to show you the sample piece. Until then, thanks for watching!

THE RECIPE:
House Paintbase aka puddle for the substrate: Color To Go in Satin Tricorn Black (Sherwin Williams stores)
Pouring Medium aka PM Recipe: mix with all colors EXCEPT the cell activator:
Behr 8300 Untinted Deep Base Paint (Home Depot); and Valspar High Gloss Ultra Base C Untinted base (Lowe's). 50/50. Mix well. NO varnish added!
Use the colors of your choice! These tutorials are meant to educate and inspire! Here's how to mix:
Pigments: For a 3 oz cup I add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of pigment powder to the cup, then add enough gloss varnish (any brand; I use JoSonja gloss varnish) to cover the powder. Mix well until all pigment is thoroughly wet; then add the pouring medium.
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 I add a squirt of Golden's High Flow Medium (thins and extends acrylic colors) and stir well. 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. 3:1 Floetrol to paint.
