I decided to try a swipe with white and it was such a different result from my black swipe. Instead of just giving me cells (like a silicone swipe) like the black did, the white gave me lacing of all the other colors. I was expecting something more like my black results but was completely surprised. And I can't believe tilting doesn't distort/ruin a majority of the cells! That has ALWAYS been my issue with swipes...they look so gorgeous until you tilt and they become mush. Mush is sometimes still beautiful...but not beautiful cells. Most of these cells just kind of grew as I tilted...definitely need to play with this more!! I can't believe the results! I'm extremely happy with how this turned out!!! Thanks so much for coming along on this journey!! ☺️

Great ideas are not going to find you. They must be pursued. It requires risk, time, effort and a lot of failure! But if you do what you've always done, you're going to get what you've always had. Take a spontaneous step into something inspiring! That action can lead to another, and another and so on...
I've been acrylic pouring since 2018. I am the messiest painter you will ever watch, but I love doing it! Painting is incredibly therapeutic for me and 9 times out of 10 I will make a bigger mess than you can imagine. My favorite challenge: large canvases because all that paint is so unpredictable and it adds such depth to a room. I hope you enjoy this video and find helpful tips that inspire you to paint your own!
