Tutorial Information and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
▶ ️ Technique for this Tutorial: Swipe Experiment.
▶ ️ Pouring Medium formula (unless otherwise stated in the video): My paints are mixed with paint, water and a pouring medium (Floetrol Owatrol) with a ratio of 1:1:3 - You may have to adjust your ratios depending on the paint brands you use. For this video I am only using paint and water with a ratio of 1:1
Note: Floetrol Owatrol is thicker than the US version of Flood Floetrol so you might not need the water element when mixing your paints.
▶ ️ Cell Activator: When I use a cell activator, I use Australian Floetrol and Titanium White with the ratio of 4:1 - You can experiment with other alternatives like Silicone Oil, Vegetable glycerin, pre-stain wood conditioner or even just paint and water. In this video I am using silicone oil to swipe.
▶ ️ Color Palette for this Creation:
Amsterdam: Yellow Ochre, Neutral Grey
Winsor & Newton: Hookers Green, Perm Alizarin Crimson,
Arteza: Pearl Rose Quartz
▶ ️ Hair dryer: When I use a hair dryer I use the Remington D3010 and always use the cool setting and the lowest blow speed.
