Acrylic paint on Graphix film 4" x 4" image (8" x 8" matted and framed behind glass) Using several different colors of blue, I created a multilayered surface on Blue Bubbles that l ooks like the bubbles are rising up through the various stratum. Blue Bubbles is a small poured acrylic painting. I begin by selecting my paints, considering each color's opacity, density, and color mixing properties. I add floetrol (an additive that improves flow and leveling of paint) and silicone. The big moment comes when I pour the liquid concoction onto Graphix film, tilting and tipping to get the look I want. I use a butane torch to get cells of color to bubble up to the surface. Show more
