This week we take on a long canvas traveling tree ring pour triptych. I've never done multiple long canvases like this before but they turned out really well.

Pouring Medium
2 parts paint
5 parts glue-all
1 part Liquitex Gloss Medium (to help paint setup faster and add some shine)
1.5 - 2 parts water (adjusted for consistency)
Paint poured off of stirring stick makes a slight mound and then disappears

Things I learned:
1. Watch where you place your hands. I had my hand on the side of the canvas which made a few marks on the paintings that don't look natural.
2. In bigger cups the heavy white paint seems to sink more quickly. Don't let the paint sit to long before pouring.
3. Remove dripping paints every free minutes until the paint stops dripping. This will keep the sides from pulling more paint off the top.
4. Covert the corners with your primary color and let dry before painting. Otherwise the paint stretches too far and you get the canvas showing through.
