Paint Pouring Play

Today I decided to have a play with paint pouring. I mixed the paint with the pouring medium to a watery consistency.

I started to pour each of the colours over the bottle bottoms which created the flower shapes.

I stopped when the paint started to flow over the edges. Used a wooden tool to pull the paint to give the petals more shape.

As I had loads of paint mixture left I did the puddle pour and then blew them out with a straw, which sort of created a flower. I forgot to go back in whilst they were wet and drag some paint to define some petals and add a bit of black to outline them. But not to worry, it was only my first go. 

Here they are just leveling out a bit, but as you can see, I still had loads of paint mix left. I did move them outside to dry, but then it rained and I forgot about them, so they got a bit wet again!

So with the excess, I used the white, black, orange, red and purple and also mixed up some pewter and old gold metallics. I added some silicone oil into the mix in the hope of creating cells, but that didn't work out.

And this is a close up of where a lot of the white came through.

This one is still on the dining room table drying!

All the products are from the DecoArt range.  I used the Americana acrylic paints and pouring medium.
