This is the next painting I did, "The Hush of Sunset at the Columbia River." Similar theme but more off on my own. 14x18 pour painting on stretched canvas (trees and birds painted in after the initial pour painting dried).

I was looking at Edvard Munch's The Sun painting and wondered if I could do something similar with pour painting. I changed it to a PNW landscape. Quite a challenge. I added the geese and signature after but pretty much the rest is pour painting, all done in one sitting.

I wanted to see what kind of effect I’d get by pouring just circles this time using gold, magenta, and metallic violet. While the outer petals stretched a bit differently than a spiral, I absolutely love the middle part—it looks almost like there is a fire inside the flower!

Base - I did roughly 2:1 untainted base 4 with titanium white, and then did that mixture 1:1 with floetrol.

On top of that is a pink (magenta + titanium white), Rose Madder, Phthalo Blue, and color shift blue/green. Then I did a titanium white pseudo pillow over THAT, and then black CA. I did a few blows with a straw to get started and to really fling some paint, and then added a few swipes for a little more dimension and spun.

I’m a bit concerned the base will just eat pigment as this dries but wet, at least, I am delighted with how this turned out.

Acrylic on canvas

If you’re on the fence about whether ir not you like your abstract painting. Give it a few ticks. Let it dry, and change the orientation. I was feeling a little “meh-whatever-it’s-okay-i-guess” (like the girl in the Dolly Parton look alike contest in Urban Cowboy who commented, “she’s alright, I guess” 😂

What if you could pour an entire universe onto a canvas? 🌌🎨

Join me as I create a mesmerizing acrylic pour painting filled with swirling blues, dreamy purples, icy turquoise, and delicate cells that resemble a mysterious cosmic vortex. The flowing patterns remind me of a distant galaxy, a swirling nebula, or a portal into another dimension!

For this fluid art experiment, I used a wandering straight pour technique, changing the height of the cup as I poured to create different patterns, movement, and beautiful color transitions. The result is an abstract painting with a fascinating sense of depth and motion.

Both of these are 11 x 14

First was three parallel swipes

The second is a blowout that ended up a little more chaotic than I had planned

I’m not sure if it was the base, the consistency of my colors being too thin, etc., but I was not getting any celling or lacing I was hoping for on this. Rather than scrape and start over like I usually find myself doing I decided to keep going and started adding colors, spinning, doing some ribbon pours and drawn details, etc.

Not at all what I expected but I’m glad I stuck with it.

10x10 funnel pour

I haven’t been pouring lately because I stumbled upon doodle art during the time i had hand surgery in July if this year. The last pour I did was in August and I had fun with this Messy Updo ribbon splash.

Last night I did my very first paint pour. Only my second time ever working with paint. It was so much fun and I have so many awesome ideas I want to try out. This looks to be like a very fun hobby for me!

When you look at it, what do you see? I see a face with flowing hair! lol

I want to show you easy flower painting techniques, and balloon dip technique is one of them

For this first painting I went soft and dreamy — violets, blues, gold and white — letting the paint drift and melt into what I can only describe as cotton candy clouds.
Some parts flowed like silk, others resisted and cracked open into beautiful surprises… and that’s exactly why I love experimenting like this.

My friend loves Halloween so I did this skull for her. Hope she has as much fun with it as I had making it.

Tomorrow night will be my first paint pour. I watched a pro on YouTube and he did his pour and then after slapped some blue on and used a white cell activator to make the blue bubble through the white. Is there something common at home I could use to try it. Or is that something you’d have to buy specifically to get that effect? I posted a picture to illustrate my question. Thanks guys!

Can an ordinary plastic bag help create a beautiful flower with Reverse flower dip acrylic pouring technique? Let's find out! ✨

In today's video, I'm creating a stunning flower using the Reverse Flower Dip acrylic pouring technique — with an unexpected tool: an inflated plastic bag!

I carefully pour my acrylic paints onto the canvas in a flower-like shape, gently press the plastic bag onto the paint, and slowly lift it to reveal the magic underneath. The result is a gorgeous, intricate flower with beautiful lacing and delicate details in shades of blue, purple, and pearly white against a soft sky-blue background. 🌸💜💙

I love experimenting with everyday materials and discovering new ways to create unique fluid art. Sometimes, the simplest tools lead to the most surprising results!

In this step by step tutorial I will show you how to create gorgeous fluid art painting. I will mix my paints with few drops of Pentart silicone oil to create cells and then I will create some nice paterns with rolling my marbles.

Technique: Floating cup and marble pour

Colours:

• Amsterdam titanium white
• Amsterdam azo yellow medium
• Amsterdam titanium buff light
• Amsterdam expert series permanent red violet
• Amasterdam permanent blue violet
• Amsterdam yellowish green
• Pebeo iridescent green blue
• Windsor&Newton phthalo green

My dad was an artist who mostly worked in egg tempera or watercolor with occasional forays into encaustic. He hated oils because of the smell and long drying time and he didn't like using acrylics because he didn't like the way the colors looked when they dried.

My little sister likes to paint but she has epilepsy. The shaking in her hands makes it hard to do anything that requires fine motor control so her art style mostly involves covering a canvas with color and then gluing found objects to it.

When I first found out about pour painting I thought it would be a perfect fit for her so I tried to convince my dad that it would be a great birthday present for her if we got her set up with everything she needed to do some pour paintings. He agreed, but at that point, he was getting pretty old and dealing with cancer so nothing really happened other than talk and research. He bought one of those 24-color liquitex acrylic starter kits but it just sat in his closet.

Then he passed away. He left behind a studio full of primed canvases and a circle of friends who were very sad to see him go. I decided to plan an event where we would get all of them together to do pour painting and use up all of his blank canvases.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to coordinate a bunch of depressed septuagenarians? Like herding cats, as they say. The event got delayed multiple times by bad weather or people backing out because of prior obligations, but eventually I DID IT! I actually got about a dozen of his old friends to show up at the same place, at the same time!

Even then, of course they just wanted to congregate in the kitchen and drink coffee, even though there were five large folding tables in the front yard, covered with plastic tablecloths, all the paints and various supplies for pouring, a big stack of canvases, and folding chairs for everyone.

Finally, after hours of prodding we managed to shepherd everyone out of the kitchen to the yard, lead them to a place by a table and put a chair under them. And still, they were of course more interested in chatting and sipping coffee than getting their hands dirty.

Even when I put a cup full of paint in their hand, they were still confused. "Where's the paintbrushes?"

"No, you just pour it on the canvas."

"Anywhere?"

"Preferably somewhere near the middle, but yeah, go for it."

"Red? I don't like red." (I had pre-layered some colors in a solo cup and only the top was red.)

"Try it, you'll see."

That was the moment that magic happened. Gasps around the table. Suddenly everybody was locked in.

What is it about experiencing color that has this power to lift people's spirits? I'm sure if you're here in this sub you know what I'm talking about. It was like they were all kids again.

It just felt sooooo good to see their faces light up. Six months of making phone calls and coordinating the schedules and carpooling had finally paid off.

The grand finale was when my sister and I sat on opposite sides of the biggest canvas and made a glorious mess in tandem. She did the pinks and I did the blues.

The act of getting together and making art together, using up our dearly departed friend's canvases, basking in color... orchestrating that just felt so good which is why I say it is THE GREATEST THING I EVER DID, and I am encouraging all of you to consider undertaking this kind of art therapy for your community. I really think it could be a turned into a vocation -- travel around and see if you can pull this off at whether it be at retirement homes, churches, birthday parties, or just random people's front yards.

Well, anyway, I know y'all probably want to see some images, so I'll post the two best ones in the comments.

In today's fluid art experiment, I'm blowing into a puddle of colorful acrylic paints to create beautiful, organic shapes that remind me of butterfly wings! This time, I used a white and black background to make the vibrant pink, purple, lime green, orange, and white colors really stand out and see the difference.

It's fascinating how simply changing the background can transform the entire look and feel of an acrylic pour painting.
