String Gel & Pouring Medium Technique
0:08 Materials used: Soft Body Acrylic Paint, Acrylic Ink, Pouring Medium and String Gel. Pouring Medium increases flow and creates smooth, craze-free pools of color. String Gel creates long honey-like strands of glossy color that hold in place when set in pouring medium.
0:13 Mix 10 parts Pouring Medium with 1 part Soft Body Acrylic. Pour over canvas to create an even layer of color.
0:29 Mix String Gel with Acrylic Ink. Re-use an empty Soft Body or Acrylic Gouache jar to drizzle String Gel onto the canvas. Tilt the canvas to create a pattern.
0:47 Drip Acrylic Ink within the pattern. Tilt the canvas to create layers of color. Finish with accents of String Gel to achieve desired effect. Let dry for 24-48 hours.
