Abstract Acrylic Pour With Subtle Embellishment

Hi guys and welcome to my art channel, thanks for being here ❤️

Thank you so very much Margaret B ❤️

Today I'm working on a 12" (30cm) round canvas
A couple of years ago our Australian bloom recipe paint was discontinued by the manufacturer, Shelee had to endlessly trial alternatives until she found one that worked. I had some of the original in stock so haven't needed to try it until now. This is my second attempt with the new mix.
We now use 50:50 Taubmans Waterbased Enamel in Neutral Semi-Gloss and Taubmans Easy Coat in Neutral Semi-Gloss. We only need to add a little Jo Sonja as needed as it's a tad thinner than the old recipe. When mixing pigments only add just enough Jo Sonja to wet the dried pigment, don't drown it!
You can add a teaspoon sized blob of Triart Gloss Gel Medium (or other brand) after wetting the TLP, before adding your pouring medium.

Pillow: British Paints low sheen house paint in White.
Colours:
TLP Brulee/Ballgown (I applied this on the pillow underneath the Red Violet.
Triart Magenta
Triart Cobalt Teal
LP pigments, Boomgel Stain, Tri-Art Acrylics, Amsterdam Acrylics, palette knives, silicone stir sticks and silicone pour mats can be purchased from https://fluid-art.co/

My pigments and tube paints are mixed with untinted (neutral) gloss house paint (water based) and Jo Sonja gloss varnish. In some countries you may need 'Deep Base' you're looking for one without any (or a very small amount) of titanium white, or it will make your colours pastel.
Please see video #92 for how I mix my colours (both pigments and tubes).

Cell Activator:

Mixed ONLY with Australian Floetrol (approx 1.5 parts of acrylic paint)
Embellishing:

My lazy susan is glass and 20'' I have a 24'' (60cm) wood round placed on top of my lazy susan.
I use artist palette knives, they can all be purchased from https://fluid-art.co/
I use two hairdryers, I prefer ones that have a proper cool setting. One is from Kmart, one is an Estelle brand.
