This Color Combination is one of my favorites! I use my regular DIY pouring medium (SEE BELOW) for the base and the poured colors. I swiped with a loaded palette knife that had the Australian floetrol cell activator on it. The base (Oxide Black) was a tad thicker than the puddle paints and cell activator. The Cell Activator was a tad thinner than my puddle paints. So think of it as layers, starting with the base layer and the consistency only changes the slightest bit!
Base Layer: thickest
Puddle Paints: thinner than Base Layer
Cell Activator: thinnest

I've played with a few different pouring mediums throughout the years and I'm delighted to say that I am over the moon with my DIY Pouring Medium! It is soooooo versatile. I LOVE the transparency it adds to my pours! Gives so much depth. Another win is being able to mix my TLP Pigments 🐷🐷🐷 (or my studio spices as I call them) straight into the Pouring Medium (I do wet them down first with my PM)! The PM dries crystal clear and the recipe is so forgiving. If you have been following me over the years you know I DON'T measure!!! I'm not the type. I don't measure when I'm cooking either 🤷♀️. Recipe is roughly 25% Golden regular gel gloss and 75% flood floetrol. That is it! I then add the PM to my paint until the paint is flow ready... then depending on technique I'll thin the paint down with water.
DIY POURING MEDIUM:
Approximately 25% Golden Regular Gloss Gel 75% USA FLOOD FLOETROL
CLOUD MIX:
1 Part Deco Art Satin Enamel mixed with 1 Part Amsterdam Opaque Acrylic Color (I usually use Titanium Buff light)
AFTER the enamel and acrylic paint is mixed together add 1 part DIY Pouring medium
