This is part 2 of my Acrylic Flow Art series (as I was commissioned to do 3 large canvases (each 24″ x 48″) I knew I’d get at least a few videos and blog posts out of this project – LOL). If you’re interested in the formulas I used for my paint mixtures (essentially 2 parts\u00a0Flood Floetrol<\/a><\/span>\u00a0to 1 part paint 5-8 drops of\u00a0Treadmill Silicone Lubricant<\/a><\/span>) or the products used, please check out my first episode HERE<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

For my second canvas, I wanted to create something fresh with blues and greens while complimenting these brighter hues with golden earthy colors so that the piece would fit in the office lobby space, which is all in browns and creams. So I used the following paints from my stash:\u00a0 Ranger Dylusions Vibrant Turquoise<\/a><\/span>; Apple Barrel Dutch Blue and Black; Craft Smart Bright Blue, Turquoise, Black and White; DecoArt Fluid Acrylic Metallic Gold<\/a><\/span>; Sargent Art Acrylic in White and Black; and Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Glitter Paint in Florentine Gold<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For my third canvas, I wanted something really vibrant with a dominant burgundy color along with some calmer golden creamy tones in the “negative space” part of the canvas so I used these paints from my stash: DecoArt Fluid Acrylics in Quinacridone Violet<\/a><\/span> and Pyrrole Red<\/a><\/span>; Martha Stewart Satin Multi-Surface Putty; Folk Art Metallic Antique Gold;\u00a0Sargent Art Acrylics in White and Black; and\u00a0Martha Stewart Multi-Surface Glitter Paint in Florentine Gold<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For both of these canvases, I used a double dirty pour and tilting technique. I wanted lots of fluidity, energy and cell formation, and I think by mixing one dirty pour with the dominant colors and a second dirty pour with just the white and metallic gold for the negative spaces, a good balance and harmony emerged. I now have to wait for about a week to 10 days before I can clean the silicone from the canvases so that I can varnish them – stay tuned for the next installment of this series!<\/p>\n

The following is a process video of more paint mixing, pouring and tilting:<\/p>\n
