Hi everybody, it's Deb from D&D Art Gallery. Today I have a 16 by 20 inch canvas and I'm just going to do an open cut pour on it. And let's go over my paints. My base coat today is the Blick Rillik blackout white. And I've heard Tammy Anderson mention that if you're having trouble with the artist's law flow acrylic white to try this Blick blackout white that it works just as well as the old artist's law flow acrylic white. And my next paints are a combination of Ellie's Evergreen shimmer and Maria's Lake Forest metallic. And those are porridge posse paints and I do want to show you that color that I one was dark, one was light and I just wanted an in between color. And here I'm also showing you consistency. It is on the thicker side today. Quite thick, quite thick paints that I'm used to here. My next paint is the porridge posse Woody Blue shimmer. And again I want to show you that paint how pretty it is. My next paint is Rustolium metallic accents and it's their classic bronze. And I just found this color. I'm not sure if it's a new color in their line but I'm hoping that you can just see that shimmer in that paint. Very pretty. My next color is the porridge posse paint gold rush. Let me show you that one. It's a lighter gold. Very pretty. My next paint again is the porridge posse paints Ocean Teal Blue. And I believe the correct pronunciation of these paints is porridge posse. That's one of my favorite colors in Christina Welsh's line. Very pretty color. My last color is a combination of porridge posse snow white iridescent and I wanted to add some satin enamel and I did pick up a little jar of the oops paint at one of the paint stores and it is the Dutch boy satin enamel and it's a really light robin egg blue color. So I combine that with the porridge posse snow white iridescent pearl and I'll show you that color. Very very light blue. All my paints today are mixed seven parts the mix to one part paint and I did thin a little bit with water. Now those of you that have been asking what is the mix let me show you the container here and I will put in the description. Christie's email address to order this and let me read it to you. It says glossy clear archival acrylic pouring medium for use in your acrylic pores. Now when you use the mix you don't need to add any other type of a pouring medium or floor troll, a gag or anything. You can just mix seven parts mix to one part paint. Again, I will list Christa's email address in the description. So what I'm going to do is layer my cup and then just do an open cup pour. So I'm going to turn the camera off, take care of some of my paints. I'm going to paint the corners and the edges of my canvas, bring you back and we'll layer that cup. Okay everybody, I'm back. I've put my base coat around the edges and the corners and here I'm just filling my cup and I think I get about two layers of each color if I'm not mistaken. And I'm striving to get about 12 ounces of paint here which I end up by thinking getting about 14. This is a 16 ounce cup here I'm using. And I got my inspiration for this pour from Minerva Lagas of Minerva Lagas art and I will list her name in the description. And there I put down just a little puddle of my base coat. Like I said, it's just an open cup pour. Here I'm just giving it a quick torch. I am doing a voiceover for this part of the video and I have sped it up here quite a bit just to save you time and watching. And here I put the base coat down just as an extender to help that paint move as I start tipping it. Again that was the blicarillic blackout white that I used as the base coat. Just giving it another quick little torch here. And you can take your time with the tipping process. I did take quite a bit of time when it's not sped up to really consider everything I wanted to keep and what I wanted to run off for this painting. And when we give you the close-up you're going to see what the mix allows to happen with your painting. Different layers, the transparency and the different layers. You can see one layer under another layer. So at this point I'm just going to take off some of that weight in the middle there. Wasn't too happy with that amount. And by using that satin enamel you can see all the little cells I got up there. That really a cloudy effect. But more of just little white cells. Again when I get you down for the close-up you're just going to see all the different effects that I did get in this painting. I was pretty happy with it. Still working on just the tipping process here. Just getting it the way I want and making sure that I do get enough of the paint off. I'm always cleaning off my edges and my corners, checking corners as I go along. Here I'm just trying to pull out some of the paint, some of the effects. I have some of those little fingerlings going on in the painting and I'm just trying to pull them out a little bit. So I'm running off some paint here and there where I think I can afford to. Here I'm giving it another torch. Okay everybody here we are for our close-up and I am showing you the whole painting. I am just thrilled with the way this turned out. Let me show you this is the upper left-hand corner and with that mix that allows that transparency to see a lot of layers come up underneath other layers. Just so very pretty here. I do like these little fingerlings we got. Just going down the left-hand side here to the lower left-hand corner. I am glad some of that bronze showed up in here and I'm hoping that that will be really sparkly and metallic once this painting dries. It's more of those little fingerlings there. Here is the middle. I think that turned out just fabulous that middle part in there. That looks like some kind of nebula. It's like a galaxy poor and I do get a lot of inspiration from Mina Villegas. So watch your channel if you get the chance. This is another effect the mix gives right here. You can see all those different layers. It looks like sky there. And I'll take you over the upper right-hand corner. We'll go down the right-hand side here. Turned out very nice in here. That bronze just peeking through. This is the lower right-hand corner.
