I love Blue, almost all shades of it. I wanted to try a monochromatic pour while leaving a negative space, so it would not be overwhelming. I have an obsession with negative/blank space in the abstract paintings I am making right now, so I hope you won’t get fed up with them.
If you are not familiar with it, a dirty pour is layering prepared colors into one cup before pouring it on your surface (I have made other videos on my channel, if you’re curious).
I used ColourArte‘s Primary Elements pigment powders for my colors because they are highly pigmented and I just adore their shimmer ! The blues I picked do not belong to the same families (one is a greenish teal, one is a very dark blue, and the last one a pale blue) so I was really curious to see how they would work together. White is always a safe color to pick to go with any other one.
If you watched my previous {Painting In Motion} video, you saw me blow on my wet paint to control how the colors were meeting the “negative space” one. I did this a little on this canvas as well, and love how it turned out.
