20240907 Fluid Art Acrylic Pour Swipe that I at first didn't Like but Now Love!!

Hi!

I made this swipe a few days ago.
As a smaller test canvas, before I did the slightly larger one, but as a test for the colors.
At first I didn't like her.
I was especially bothered by that bouncy thing in the top right corner.
But I had left her out to dry on my counter.
And every time I did a little washing up, I got to see her.
Slowly I started to love her.
Because look at the details! And the dynamics are just right, it really stands out!!
I had made recordings, but was too unsure about the end result to edit them.
Luckily I still did it!!

Hope you enjoy her too!
Sleep well x



How I make my BASE:

Talens Art Creation Titanium White and Owatrol floetrol (1:3 minimal water added). I do this in portions (cups) of 35 grams of Titanium White and 105 grams of Owatrol, and usually add 5 grams of water. I make larger stocks of this, and always try to let it rest for at least 2 days so that it has fewer air bubbles

The COLORS I used:

TLP Parakeet
ColourArte PE Citrine Druzy
Golden Interference Orange
Golden QNAG
Golden Transparent Brown Iron Oxide
Golden Green Gold
Golden Sap Green Hue
Golden Van Dyke Brown

I MIX MY COLORS also with Owatrol floetrol. Ratio depends on the pigmentation and thickness of the paint, also a very small amount of water added for consistency, but slightly thinner than the base.

I first wet my PIGMENTS with a little JoSonja varnish until I have a paste. Then I add a small scoop of binder (Caparol). I also use Owatrol as PM with the pigments and that is not paint. It therefore lacks the binding. And I personally don't like it when colors become 'runny'. So that's how I solve it. Then I also add Owatrol floetrol to this, I do that by eye, in the same consistency as the other colours.

I make my CELL ACTIVATOR with acrylic paint and Australian floetrol (1:2). I used Amsterdam Titanium White here. For the Gold cell activator I mix two different types of Gold. I use Golden Bright Gold and Amsterdam Deep Gold (1:3 approximately). Because Amsterdam works well, and Golden to make the color more beautiful!
