I love the iridescence...For this painting, I just wanted lots and lots of blue. I love doing open cup pours and I had never tried one with Pebeo Pouring Medium. Usually, when people ask me for an easy way to create cells, I suggest this technique. The way the colors get introduced down into each other usually gives ring after ring of cells without much effort, especially if you use metallic colors. But with the viscosity of the Pebeo Pouring Medium, you can see in the video that I didn't have any cells popping up. I had some lovely color blending, but no cells. So halfway through, I added a few drops of silicone to a couple of the colors, so that when I torched it, we had lots of cells pop up.
With an open cup pour, it's easy to add too much paint. I just enjoy the process, watching each color get added to the mix. So I lost some of my original structures as it was necessary to tip off some of that extra paint and stretch it all out. But in doing that, more cells popped up with the movement of the paint (which is fun to watch on time-lapse) and all of the interference blue I added gave an overall iridescent quality. It almost looks like I have gold in this composition, but it is just the interference blue mixing with the yellow-green. Once it has fully cured in a month, I will be putting a layer of resin on this beautiful mess and adding it to my online store. Cheers! Sarita Laroche
Most of my art is available for sale. If you see a video that does not say SOLD in the title, it is likely available. Not every painting shows up on my website immediately. Some paintings are curing before they are listed for sale. Other paintings may have been put into my “unfinished” corner and I am planning to add something to them. Still others just haven’t been properly photographed, cataloged, and listed. Feel free to inquire through my website if you like a particular piece.

FAQ:
What is fluid art?
Fluid art painting AKA flow art, is an abstract, painting process, using liquified paints poured onto a surface. The most common paints used are acrylic paints, mixed with a pouring medium and/or water. There are also ready-made, pouring paints available, at many arts and crafts stores.
How long do the paintings take to dry?
About 3 days to be touchable and 30 days to cure before they can be varnished.
Do you have to use a pouring medium?
Yes- some form of pouring medium should be used to help liquefy the paints. Although certain artists are able to only use water, it should be used sparingly. Acrylic paints are water-soluble and will break down when too much water is introduced. A good paint medium will maintain the integrity of the paint’s binders. On a molecular level, the acrylic paint and binder molecules will link together, forming a kind of honeycomb structure when it has fully cured.
What is an Open Cup Pour?
There are many techniques for laying the paint onto the canvas, in fluid art. An open cup pour uses a bottomless cup to layer the colors. As new paint is introduced, it flows down into the paint column. This usually produces cells, which will pop up around the cup.
