Tried acrylic pour painting for the very first time.

I hope to get better as I go along and learn more.

Working on small 5x7 budget cradled boards until I learn what I’m doing and then I might try something larger.

I feel with abstract work, more of my spirit or subconscious comes out.

Have you guys tried this technique? It’s really fun.

I think pour paintings are also done with watercolors sometimes, where you block out your whites ahead of time and pour the paint onto the paper.

1. Pretty cool.

It reminds me of the psychedelic era in the late 60s.

7. Beautiful!

Art therapy is pretty much all process based, with the presumption that the art form is an autonomous entity wishing to create through us. Great stuff!

[LiberalLoner]

8. Thank you! 😍💙💙💙

9. Pat B Allen was s professor at the School of the Art Inst of Chicago

When I studied Art Therapy there.

She has written some fabulous books about the process:

Art is a Way of Knowing

And

Art is a Spiritual Path.

The 1st one is basically the master of art therapy method.

Enjoy!

10. These are both very beautiful. If this is your first try, I can't wait to see the second.

[LiberalLoner]

11. Thank you so much! 💙💙💙. I need to learn how to get the cells and lacing. Might take a lot of practice. But

I’m really excited and having fun at this!

[LoisB]

12. That you are excited and having fun is really the important aspect. They really are beautiful.

ENJOY!

18. You might like this video:

At around 11:40, you’ll hear the director ask the painter about Cyndi Lauper. Earlier the tribal people were shown the We Are The World video and this painter was very taken with Cyndi .

19. Oh I love this! Thank you! I like their work much better than my own! I can

See I am using too much paint with the pouring mixture. I will make an adjustment when I try a second time!

20. Glad you liked it! Nt

21. My dad really got into doing those

He was always artistic. But after he retired, he really got into doing abstract art on big masonite panels. He bought latex houseplant and would pour the paint onto the panels and let it flow wherever it wanted. My brother and I now have several hundred of these!
