Stacking COLOR in an Acrylic Pour ~ TRY This

This technique features a unique homemade pouring medium that consists of 1 ounce of polycrylic, 3 ounces of thickened floetrol, and squirts of GAC and liquitex pouring medium. . There is no house paint in the base. This pouring medium is used for the base AND the pour-over colors. The base paint is Monte Mart white.

I get better results by thickening up the PM a bit. You don't have to do this, but you will get structurally better cells. The cells/lacing are not as fragile by doing this. I used my thickened floetrol, which is easily achieved by leaving it out in a flat tupperware container for a few days. I stir it at least once a day. And then when it has thickened enough to my liking, I strain it. I don't always use the thickened formula for the base because it contains tube paint which ends up being thicker.

A note about my consistency. My goal is for it to resemble american floetrol (thickened up a bit) with nothing added. And this makes it easy to use this as a control. Check the consistency by comparing it to floetrol only.

The base, unlike the typical house paint in blooms, offers a more refined foundation, allowing for intricate details and a softer finish. The inclusion of a cell activator, akin to the bloom technique, introduces a world of possibilities for creating delicate cells.

The cells in this technique possess a unique fragility, resulting in softer edges and less defined structures compared to traditional blooms. This characteristic imparts a dreamlike quality to the final piece, especially when a white cell activator is employed. The painting dries beautifully, and I prefer this PM over my bloom PM. You will see a transparency that you cannot get with a traditional bloom. You can see the texture of the canvas through the paint when it is dry.

I have used both Minwax polycrylic and water based Varathane polyurethane, and they both work equally well.
