My first Ghost Swipe Acrylic Pour and surprisingly it was not as easy as it looks but I finally got the hang of it in the end.

I had a rough week in studio a.k.a. my kitchen. No matter what I tried I had one failed pour after another! So I decided to take a step back and keep it simple. I find that when I'm struggling I need to go back to a technique I'm most likely to have a success to rebuilt my confidence, sometimes you have to take two steps back in order to go forward.

Tiffany takeaways:
1) When swiping with a reusable swiping tool make sure to clean off the swiping tool really well between swipes so it continues to flow nicely through the paints
2) Using clear plastic to swipe is easier because you can see clearly where the edge of the tool is being placed on the paint so you can ensure you are picking up the paint you want to swipe with
3) Australian Floetrol is expensive but when only using it as a cell activator, you don't use very much so it might be worth the cost (for this technique, I can not comment on others)

My paints are mostly Amsterdam Acrylics Standard Series and I occassionally through in some Pebeo. However I am experimenting with some inexpensive pouring medium (no water added) and I mixed it to the right consistency which for this style of acrylic pouring the paint leaves minimal trace on the surface before disappearing into the cup. In other words once the paint flows off the stick into the paint it doesn't really leave a mound on the surface but it disappears slowly back into the paint.
