Creation

Today at the Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio there is a poured acrylic demonstration and I brought along a canvas and paint to try my hand at doing this new type of painting.

After watching the demonstration, I primed the canvas with a little bit of pouring medium and white acrylic paint.

Next I mixed three colours for this swipe pour in different containers; Copenhagen Blue, Caribbean blue and silver. I mixed equal portions of the pouring medium to each of my colours and added three drops of silicon.



















I poured each colour onto the canvas in a circular motion, starting with the darkest colour and going to the lightest colour.

With a palette knife I spread the paint gently in a circular motion and then set it aside to dry.

This original 12" x 12" acrylic painting will be available for $250.00.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork.
