I've still got several projects that need finishing; being ill for most of February has set me back somewhat! Anyway, fully recovered now, and the sun is shining so feeling very Spring-like.
Still experimenting with pouring acrylics. It looks simple but it isn't - here's the science bit - some pigments are heavier than others, which should dictate the order of pour. But that is only if you know the specific gravity of the paints! I think I'll just continue to experiment and let serendipity prevail!
Here are some more ...
I used an old canvas board for this one, and I can still see the texture paste underneath! If you look carefully you can see a bird in the bottom black section!
This is a horizontal pour, with a black pour either side.
This tiny canvas has the excess from the previous pour above. I just scooped up the paint with a palette knife and dropped it onto the canvas, letting it do its own thing!
This pour is on a white glazed tile.
Sometimes there are air bubbles in a pour, and I think that heat can get rid of them. Musr remember that next time!
I've been using mountboard for experimental pours too, and I thought that it would be a pity not to use the successful ones - so I've put some on the front of notebooks! This one, and a couple of others are in my Etsy shop (here), or there is a link on the sidebar.
Now, I must - must - must - finish some of the projects that are littering my craft room!
WONDERFUL pours. They are beautiful, and I was most impressed with the one on the white tile, since I have so many of them. Great inspiration, too. I really like serendipitous, too.
