For this painting I used :

Liquitex Acrylic Ink - Cerulean Blue

Artist’s Loft paints:

Flow Acrylic White for the negative space and in the dirty pour
Flow Acrylic Neon Green
Brilliant Blue
Cerulean Blue
Aqua Green

This is my formula for all the paint:

--- 1 part paint to 5 parts Floetrol (but 2 parts paint to 5 parts Floetrol works well too)

--- I then add a little water if necessary to get my paint to be the consistency of really warm honey, or like heavy cream. Flow acrylic (runny like house paint) will need very little water if any, while medium to heavy body paint (thick like toothpaste) will need more water. I always try to limit the amount of water that I use ... too much will break down the binding properties of the acrylic paint. How much is too much? I try to keep the amount of water under 50% of the amount of paint.

There was silicone in the four colors but not in the white. My favorite silicone is "3 in1 All Temp Silicone", available at most hardware stores.

This was done on a small canvas panel (5"x7") and the pour was under an ounce of paint (roughly 20 ml).
