Here we are getting hit with another blizzard on a scheduled Monday off school. What’s up with that?!?  Mr. G was even sent home from work early. The word came over the intercom that they were closing early due to bad weather. I know all of us are hoping for a snow day tomorrow.

So that’s the snowing but what is the pouring, you ask? Acrylic pours. Pour painting. Fluid art. Whatever you’d like to call it. I just call it fun! It totally fits into my love of creative chaos and randomness.

This was the start of a second pour in one day. (You can see the other in my previous post.) I also used white in addition to these bold basic colors,

I used a dirty flip cup technique. Sounds awful doesn’t it? It’s truly not though. Well…truth be told it’s a messy process. I scraped out my mixing cups on the canvas as not to waste them. Having paint at the corners helps it flow over the edge more easily.

Crazy huh?!? The white circles were caused by air bubbles. So cool!

BTW- I didn’t use any silicone or a torch in my process. So many people do and get absolutely amazing results. I’m just not interested in having flammables in my basement. Perhaps when the warm weather comes around I can try that outside.

I love the look of these paintings when they are wet. They have so much depth. 

The dry version is so flat. I plan to put a gloss coat on to bring out some depth again and brighten the colors.

I also need to share the end of February photo a day challenge results.

I’ve started the photo a day challenge for March as well. This month seems a little more challenging so far. I may have chosen the wrong one for me. Time will tell.

Hopefully *fingers crossed* we’ll have a snow day tomorrow otherwise it will be a typical Tuesday for me after we dig ourselves out. UGH!

What are you doing today?
