Trying Something New

Green Wave
Acrylic on  gallery wrapped canvas 12 X 12

I've wanted to try pouring acrylic for a long time but didn't know the process and didn't have the courage to really go for it. While I was in Eden Prairie, Minnesota in September I was able to go on an Art Studio Tour with a friend. At one of the stops we made an artist was doing a demonstration of an acrylic pour and she got a lovely bubbly effect. They are called "cells". I didn't get as much cell effect with my pour, I need to adjust my recipe of ingredients, but I like what I did get anyway. It was very messy but lots of fun. I will try it again in the future.

  1. I have a friend who does almost all poured acrylics, and he has gotten very skilled at it! You can find his facebook page at Andoreza Studios, but I don't think he posts much... he's a busy guy.
    I really like your colors and directional flow here! :)

  2. Hi Jan, I do like this and brings to mind watercolor pouring. I've seen that done by a few artists, but I don't know how it's done.
    Well, wait a minute.! Pouring color I guess. But somehow they know just where, when and how to do it.
    I don't know if you visit Diana Davis blog, an excellent artist and does this a lot. I guess you have to know your colors and seems to be a flow to it. YOU got it!!!
