I've heard about pouring medium and I've watched other people using it - but never tried it. Today I took a partially completed abstract and, after Goggling the technique, I tried pouring medium.

I am a bit overwhelmed by the vast assortment of acrylic products and how to use them - so I bought an experimental box of acrylics - several paints - Fluid, heavy body, High Flow and OPEN and an assortment of gels, pastes, grounds and mediums. The little booklet inside walked me through some exciting, easy , and educational ways to use the various materials. Such fun. I highly recommend it if you're just wanting to try out acrylics. My blog - a place to record my progress. This requires commitment. It's no longer something I am going to do... someday. This is it. My 'making art' blog. Take a deep breath, kido. This is scary.
Here are three images that are 'starting points' - part of the Sources of Inspiration workshop I attended last weekend. The left and right images are parts of a larger gel print; the middle image is part of a pastel. Next step is to work with the shapes and colour to create a painting. Off to the easel! |
