#6108-Dazzling Simple Chain Pulled Flower Garden Class Demo Fluid Acrylics 10.28.19

I am using a pre-primed black 16"x20" stretched canvas. All the acrylic paint colors I use are pre-mixed with additives to help them flow more easily. I add a wet layer of black paint to the whole surface of the canvas. I create a small container of blues and greens and ribbon pour /dribble it out in looping rang=dom seeming patterns on the bottom 1/3 of the canvas * but not to the bottom. I tilt the canvas and allow the foliage colors to flow toward the top of the canvas briefly and then use an edge catcher to stop the paint from escaping off the bottom of the canvas as I tilt it again, so the paint flows down to the bottom. I rock the edge catcher held against the bottom to allow some of the flowing/pooling paint to coat the bottom. Then I tilt the canvas back and let the flowing paint travel up again. I have a small ball chain in short lengths, and I let it drag through the colors and create the impression of grass. I also hold a loop in one hand to pull wider trails and make loops. For the flowers, I like to use three different lines of color applied with a squeeze bottle. The top color is white ( all stacked close to one another). I let just the tail of the chain linger under the colors and proceed to wrap the paint in a semi-circle of chain, still holding the end of the single strand I pull just far enough to make the agitated paint look like a flower bud. I don't clean the chain so that the residual colors influence the next flower. I add stems and leaves using a bottle and manipulating them with a bamboo skewer, a small flat-front spatula, and a small ball chain( a clean piece). I love this, it might be as close to perfect as I may ever need to come.

My "pouring" mixture is 3/4 Floetrol with 1/4 (estimated) GAC800 from "Golden" (prevents cracking and adds shine to dry artwork.)mix into it thoroughly. Depending on the paint the amounts of color can vary. I like to begin with half pouring mixture and half color. After that is mixed VERY thoroughly I add more pouring mixture until the viscosity (thickness) is like warm honey. If I want it thinner I add more Pouring mixture. If the color is not strong enough I add more pigment. When mixing colors my amounts are always estimated and then altered to get the right consistency I like. I use plastic squeeze bottles with measurements on the side. I add a marble to my bottle to aid in the mixing process. Marbles work well but exercise caution if you end up with more than one they will shatter in the mixture eventually. It's imperative (Important) that all mixture be shaken thoroughly once before using in any session the first every time! The consistency is usually medium "body" weight, but other weights are usable with minor adjustments. 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 tight-fitting lid or seals the container with Glad sticky wrap. I have often used the 4oz size plastic deli containers, and the paint keeps for a long time in them, but you must stir before using the mix again. Floetrol and other flow agents will rise to the top between uses. None of my acrylic paint has any added silicone. To create the pearlescent effects seen in most of my artworks, I use "Golden's" Iridescent pearl "Fine" added to colors. I add a good squirt directly into whatever I am mixing in. I recommend experimenting to find out how much is enough for your ideal shimmer.

This is my art therapy. I am an intuitive artist. I love creating contemporary art paintings and abstract art with acrylic pouring experimental art. I create an acrylic painting as an intuitive artist, a contemporary abstract painter with acrylic pouring fluid art.
