Base Paints:
My favorite is Sherwin Williams Color to go
or
PPG Multi Pro Eggshell #47-3110 (Home Depot)
Pouring Medium:
Valspar Ultra High gloss Base C - 3 parts (Lowes)
Varathane Ultimate- 1 part (Home Depot)
or
Valspar Ultra High Gloss Base C - 1 Part/50% (Lowes)
Behr 8300 Deep Base- 1 Part/50% (Home Depot)
Cell Activator:
Australian Floetrol - 3 Parts
Paint- 1 part
Amsterdam , and Triart are my go to paints for cell activator, 5 second trace off the stick
To thicken paints/pigment - I use 8300
To thin paints/pigments - I use Golden High Flow Medium or 50/50 mix of JoSonja gloss Varnish & water.
If you have to add alot of a thinning agent above... When in doubt throw it out! (a little refference to my Food Service days) because it WILL ruin your painting!
For Cloud Pours:
Artist Loft Soft Body Paint- 1 Part
Vallejo Pear Medium - 1 Part
US Floetrol - 2 Parts
-thin to Paint Consistancy with Water
or
Artist Loft Soft Body Paint - 1 part
US Floetrol - 1 part
Australian Floetrol - 1 part
Deco Art Satin Enamel - 1part
For mixing Tube Paint's for cloud pours: (also works for Straight, and Ring Pours)
3 parts US Floetrol to 1 part paint
For mixing Pigments for cloud pours: (also works for Straight, and Ring Pours)
-Disperse Pigment in Either JoSonja, or Liquitex High Gloss Varnish... mix well
-Add about 1 Teaspoon of Sax Gel Medium till kinda ploppy/should be kinda thick... mix well
-Then add 1-2 Tablespoons of US Floetrol... mix well
* Special Advice*- Use fresh paint, if it sits too long (like weeks/months) then it will become too thick, sometimes you can thin it back down, but that thinning will sometimes compromise the paint, and ruin your painting. So I dont recommend mixing a huge batch of paint. Plan your color pallets, mix what you need and if you have left over incorporate those left overs in the next piece.
Thanks for watching…Happy Painting everyone! Bye for now!

This is beautiful! What colour did you use as a CA? It's so soft looking.

I had to go back and watch the video cause I couldn’t remember, and I didn’t have it written down. What I did was loaded, titanium white cell activator on the pallet knife first. Then I added a drizzle of wild Atlantic, golden peach, ballgown, and watermelon (allTLP’s)on top of the cell activator on the pallet knife. That way when I drug the pallet knife over top the paint, the cell activator remained on top.
