Abstract Acrylic Painting Techniques Using a Catalyst Wedge

This is a time-lapsed abstract acrylic painting demonstration on canvas. This is how I use fluid acrylics and a catalyst wedge to create movement and build layers. This is NOT a "How to Paint an Abstract Painting" video, but hopefully will give you inspiration and ideas for your own DIY abstract painting.
Adjust the settings on the video to watch a slower version and to gain a better understanding of my technique.
Tools:
Fluid Acrylics from TriArt and Golden
Free style flat brushes
Silicone catalyst wedge (W-06) from @Princeton Art & Brush Co Inc
Colours Used:
Iridescent Gold Deep
Titanium White
Carbon Black
All abstract paintings are available at www.courtseniorart.com​​

    I'm new to acrylic painting and have spent soooo much money on mostly Golden and Liquitex paints, but they weren't giving me the affect I was wanting. After watching a few of your videos, I realized it was because I needed to be using flow acrylic paint. I can't go out and buy all new paint since I have about 50 tubes of paint I've barely used. I did go and purchase Liquitex Flow Aid additive, Golden High Flow medium, Folkart floating medium and I had Floetrol already. What do you recommend using of the products I have for making a flow acrylic that will give me the affects in your video. I slowed down the video and its really helpful for learning. I've searched and searched but cannot find an answer, so any advice is appreciated. Thanks
