Exploring Acrylic Pouring

Yes, I meant it to rhyme!

I had fun today playing around with acrylic pouring.  I’ve been watching videos of it on Youtube for the last few days and decided I wanted to have a go.  Pretty happy with how it went, and think I may be doing this again real soon.

My favourite is the last one (excuse the bad photo, the lighting wasn’t good in the kitchen by the time I finished doing it).  It is true fire engine red, with tones of black, and I was so happy to see the cells form that large.

  2. Wow … really, truly stunning. I do love that last one … the shapes are incredible. All of them are fantastically organic 😊

    1. So glad you liked them Osyth. Yes, the red is my favourite, the cells formed really nicely, and I love the simplicity of just the 2 colours. They are drying now and I can see that I probably did not pour on enough paint as I am starting to see the texture of the canvas underneath, but it is all a learning experience, and I am really really happy with how they turned out for my first attempt.

        1. Oh, I’ve done lots today, some worked (kind of) and some didn’t, but I had fun, and got a really lovely one at the last pour again today.

          1. My husband quotes an old colleague often who used to say ‘you must learn to know when enough is good enough’ … it seems to me that your paint is doing the job for you by giving consistently saving the best til last!!

                1. I understand what you are saying. I also wonder why it is that non-wisdom is so attractive to us?

  5. I like them all, but I’d have to go with #3 as my fave. I just really like the colors, even though the cells aren’t as distinct as the others…

    1. Hi Brian, I like some of the colours in that one, the Burnt Sienna made it look a bit earthy, but yes, there wasn’t much cell forming going on! Think this one is a mutant (I didn’t spray any silicone into it, nor get the mix/pour right) Still, practice makes perfect, and I did lots today too.

  6. Damn, I wish I was this creative. Really like the 3rd one, but the red is definitely my favourite. On a large canvas, both of these would take pride on my wall.

    1. I am working up to the bigger canvases – just got to make sure I get the technique right. I have drooled at so many Youtube videos of people doing this, it is so hypnotising to watch. I suffer from YSOAA) younger sister of an artist syndrome – but this is something anyone can do if they get the paint mix right -and cheap as to try at the start, and strangely soothing. 🙂 Well I am a world famous fluid artist I shall present you a HUGE canvas (P.S. you don’t want to be holding your breath for that) 😉

      1. Ooh, a signed Ceenoa artwork! Similarly, when I become a world famous authour (not sure why I can’t say that without laughing out loud) I too shall gift you with my first novel…in case you need something to burn on those cold nights. 😉

        Btw, I suffer from OYBMJOSAS. Older yet bitter mother jealous of son’s artistic skills.

        1. Laughing, these syndromes are nasty things! 🙂
          I shall look forward to the book – I have an A/C so won’t need to burn it 🙂

  7. The red one puts me in mind of science class, in a good way. Looks like a fun method to let your creativity run wild!

    1. It is, and there is a bit of science in the way the paint reacts to movement and colours.
