Exploring Pouring

Poured paint on paper has a will of its own. Hoping for interesting, organic shapes. Instead I produced runs and drips. The details might be useful as part of a collage. Or maybe I can continue with more paint and marks. The colors  show as intense, but in person they are soft, warm and subtle.

    Hi, I really like that poured effect. I have seen paintings like that in Hotels, and yours is nicer than any I have seen.?

      Thanks Cousin! I have seen some that cover the whole wall. Pretty sure it was transferred onto wallpaper first. Great to hear from you 🙂

    You don’t sound very happy with these pieces Sheila but I think the first and the third are super. The impression of trees in the mist against a craggy mountain with a lighter mountain in the distance strikes me as very natural. Use your photoshop to have two pieces, enlarging the first close-up and leaving the complete painting as is. – two from one is a good deal – lol. A different kind of abstract – good for you!

      I knew the was a reason I posted this! Seeing it from your perspective has me feeling much better about the result. Thanks Val. I was thinking spider legs… I like the thought of trees much better! Have fun today Val 🙂

    Sheila, totally love your acrylic paint pour. Details please: what kind of acrylics, and how did you make them pourable, and (how) did you prep your paper? The results are very appealing.

    Mingus isn’t static, THAT’s for dang sure!

      Nope. For dang sure! Lol. I was going to include 2 more photos but I thought it might make me the old cat lady of mountains. Lol.
      I did not prep the paper. I used craft paint, thinned a bit with water.
      I would love to try liquid acrylics. I am reading up on the process to learn more. Enjoy your day my friend ?
