These notes are in tended for those who attended my workshop and not as a stand alone guide.
Equipment
cups / paddlepop sticks / small measuring cups
Floetrol or other pouring medium
silicone oil
water
acrylic paints - do not need to be good quality
leveller
cup hooks
canvases
rubber gloves
palette knife / wooden skewer / straw
The mix!
2:1 Floetrol : acrylic paint
+ water - a smidgeon or a good splodge depending on the thickness of your paint so that your mix is the consistency of warm honey. It should stretch but not drop and flow evenly back into the container without forming a mound first.
+ 2 - 3 drops of silicone oil and barely stir
How much paint???? Here comes more math +x=
The genius calculator can be located here https://olgasoby.com/acrylic-pouring-paint-calculator/ convert to ml then divide by the number of colours you are intending to use.
Colour Palettes - some suggestions
analagous + black and/or white
monochromatic - one colour + black and white
general guide - dark / medium / light and a colour that pops
The Pours
Dirty pour
Open cup
Dutch pour
Swipe
Remember: preparation is key
level your canvas - cuphooks are good for that - spray the back of your canvas with water and allow to dry to tighten it
protect your work surface
have some objects or small canvases ready for the overflow to avoid waste
prepare all paint cups
pour away - use heat gun/blow torch or hairdryer to encourage your cells to reveal themselves
