How to Mix Paint for Pendulum Painting?

Published in Fluid Art Painting 2 mins read

The key to mixing paint for pendulum painting is achieving the right consistency to prevent separation during the process; adding "gak" can help.

Here's how to think about paint mixing for pendulum painting, based on available information:

  • Consistency is crucial: The main goal is to prevent paint separation while the pendulum is in motion.
  • Adding "gak": One approach is to incorporate "gak" (possibly referring to a thickening agent or pouring medium) into the paint mixture to reduce separation. While the exact type of "gak" isn't specified, a pouring medium that promotes even flow and prevents pigment settling is likely suitable. Rhonda's Tri-RRR-tistry seems to suggest adding a significant amount of this additive. The video mentions adding just up to two measures of this "gak".
  • Consider pouring mediums: Experiment with different pouring mediums to find one that works well with your chosen paints and desired effect. These mediums can adjust viscosity, flow, and drying time.
  • Prevent Separation: Adding the right amount of pouring medium, like "gak" as mentioned in the references, will help prevent separation.
