OK, so I just did an experiment with 2 pours at once using the same colors (almost), but Acrylic Pouring Medium in one and PVAC Glue in the other. What a difference.
For the first pour, with Glue, I used the following colors:
Chromacryl Cobalt Blue, Cool Blue, Burnt Sienna, Neon Yellow, Liquitex Ecru, Golden Iridescent Bronze.
I didn’t do a flip cup, I poured it onto the disc. There was too much ecru, so I poured and dripped yellow and blue into that area. I had to add a LOT of water to thin the paint down, but this didn’t seem to be detrimental to the pour or the adhesion.
It’s a pretty nice pour, but I think the white glue changes the colors a bit and makes them less intense.
For the second pour, with Pouring Medium, I used all of the above colors EXCEPT the ecru and the gold.
I like the intensity of this one much better, and the cells are completely different in it. Is that because I used PM, or because I omitted the Ecru? Gahhh, not sure, so I’ll have to do more experimenting, YAY!!
I hate wasting paint, so I took ALL the leftover paint, both with Glue and with Pouring Medium, and did a Flip Cup on an old canvas. Not sure what I think about this one…. As usual, my dismal photography does not show the glow… I think it might be one of those SURPISE pieces that ends up going from ugly duckling to beautiful swan. It’s all creams and bronzes and blues…
Very intrigued. Can hardly wait to see the real deal.
I love these 🙂
Yeah, me too, this is my favorite art project to date…
What are the discs made of. I like this shape because it is very earthy.
These were a test, so I used an old Record. Depending on how they turn out, I might continue to use them.
really cool !! You are getting better with this technique!!
