               ************************************************************************

Some paints are metallic?

Apple Barrell Gloss Blue      Cobalt Blue by Artists loft (metallic)

Example  Floetrol into 4 cups     add same amm glue     MIX

Add paints and mix well

Add few drop of silicone

Add all colours in layers into pouring jug    Pour and tilt

Swipe small areas with palette knife

NEON acrylics will work  Craft paints

TIPS from Gina DeLuca  Metallic pour
Canvas must be LEVEL otherwise you may loose the cells when drying.

Screw in hooks at back + spirit level
Tighten the canvas esp. the bigger canvas - spray the back with water
Put pouring mix into the cup first - avoids paint sticking to the cup
Big wide mixing stick is better than smaller - avoid pulling stick out of cup (Air bubbles)
Consistency like double cream pouring
Too much water leads to cracking     All paints the same consistency

Base coat first - and spread it over sides also

 

Dont have your silicone thicker than your paint.      3in1 silicone

To avoid making mud from a flip cup is to not have too big a pouring cup  e.g. 3oz. in a 5 oz cup

Metallic paints are all opaque

Quinacridone Magenta Basic is transparent - if put on metallic black it will not be visable when dry.

If you added some metallic to the Q magenta would help.

Preparing the pouring cup

Black in first    Copper     Blue     Silver     Green      Red      etc

Cup ready to pour

After pouring  TORCH and let it sit (2 mins) so more cells develop.

Tilt very slowly - see cardboard at corner to avoid loosing too much paint

Paint back to center

Colours:  Global impasto warm yellow and warm Red      Deep space (Navy)    Cool Blue

Pale Blue 

65 gr of pouring medium + 65gr of paint in each cup x 6 cups = 780gr TOTAL

6 drops of silicone 100% in each cup except the Navy

Navy in first     Light Blue     Cobalt      White       Mustard     Red        and repeat same order

FLIP and SWIPE

Cool colours separated by White

Flip the cups over

Pour navy at sides and corners

If you pour and the cells are immediately big then you paint is too thin
and will go misshapen as you tilt.
Cells should be small so you can control them.
Before you pour let the paint sit so that the bubbles subside
