I’ve become convinced that pigment paint mixing is an art form in itself. For my drip pour paintings, it requires so much liquid that it’s easiest to make my own paint from pigment and mica powders. Plus I have those on hand already for soapmaking. These ones took about 4 hours to make. I stir, very very slowly, the powder first into water, then with thick gloss medium, then thin. And then a lot of back and forth to get the balance just right without bubbles or powder pockets. It’s the most relaxing thing to watch tv or listen to music while slowly churning my pigments.
