PATREON: ************************************************************* Colors/Brands/Pouring Medium Recipe: House Paint-base aka puddle for the substrate: PPG Multi-Pro 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 High Gloss Ultra Base C Untinted base (Lowe’s). 50/50. Mix well. NO varnish added! Brands/Colors mixed: 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 1/8 to 1/4 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 2-2 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. pre-disbursed 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 TriArt Carbon Black. Not quite 3:1 Floetrol to paint. ********* Big spinners: Buy Australian Floetrol, This Little Piggy pigments, Amsterdam paint, silicon mats, stir sticks, amazing cradled wood panels and so much more!!!
