It is recommended to use a cardboard box as a base, which is lined with plastic (e.g. bin bags). This way, the workplace is kept clean and can be easily disposed of later.
Each colour is mixed in a separate cup with the Pouring Medium in a mixing ratio of 1 : 2. For a more fluid consistency, a few drops of water can help. The perfect consistency is honey or buttermilk. For cells, a few drops of silicone oil can be added.
Now layer the colour mixtures alternately in a new cup.
Do not stir!
The canvas is placed on the cup with the colour mixtures. Then both are flipped 180°.
Leave both for a few seconds and tap the upturned cup lightly to make as much paint as possible run down.
The cup can now be lifted. It is a good idea to pour the remaining paint in the cup into the corners so that later the entire canvas will be full effortlessly.
By swaying the canvas back and forth, the entire canvas is covered with paint. To achieve more intense cells, you can hold a bunsen burner over the paint.
The drying time is at least 24 hours. The dried image will have lost its gloss: If you find this unpleasant, a clear varnish can help.
