Hello my Beautiful People! Welcome back to the garden! Tonight we are using a wonderful color that always reminds me of my dear friend, @SarahMackArt , Bordeaux Red from Arteza, I am using my big huge 60 ounce split cup from AcrylicPouringTools.com, and Im pouring on a 24x36 inch gallery wrapped canvas from Artists Loft. Lets get started!

Even though my split cup holds 60 ounces of paint, I did not fill it up all the way. We only needed about 30 ounces for this size canvas, so I filled it about halfway. I like using the big cup for bigger canvases, rather than filling a smaller cup multiple times. I enjoy using all the different sizes I have, they are all just tools for your toolbox.

Because the Paynes Grey and Bordeaux both dry fairly dark, I wanted to make sure to use several lighter colors to create contrast within the pour.

I used a small Dixie cup to 'lip' or wreck the pour, it created some more dimension, and brought more of the colors into play.

I do tilt off a lot of paint, mostly because I enjoy opening up the pour and seeing what is hidden in between the layers.

To figure out how much paint you need, simply multiply the length of the canvas by the width of the canvas, and then divide by 28. For example,
for a 12 x12 : 12 x12 = 144. 144 divided by 28 is 5.14 ounces. So you would need about 5 ounces of paint to cover. I always recommend mixing a little more paint, just in case you need to fix something of pour again.
