I told you pour painting was a never-ending technique. In this video, I share with you a plaster skull I bought on sale at my local Michaels store.

One thing that I apply to my fluid art that I do with any creative endeavour is simple: not liking it ? Cover it up ! It’s okay. This is what happened with this project. I was not 100% pleased with the first pour… so I used the leftover paints to do another one on top. I ended up way happier about it that way.

Sometimes, simple is best.

I tend to over complicate everything. Really. Blame it on my over achieving, perfectionist side.

The video should speak for itself but please, if you have any question leave it in the comment section 🙂

Happy Thursday ! Today I have a new {Painting In Motion} video, created for ColourArte, to share with you. Scroll down to see the list of the products I used.

I wanted to try something I have had in mind for quite some time. However, I did not dare doing it until now. Use a fluid painting as a background instead of a finished abstract painting. All the possibilities !

Don’t be scared to experiment !

If you always put some pressure about doing every piece of art a masterpiece, you will forget all about the joy. Trust me: I have been there ! I had a urge to do something more with my fluid paintings. Even though this year is the year I chose to explore abstract paintings in different forms, I wanted to go further.

Nixies have been a quiet voice this past year. Always on the back of my mind but not in the foreground anymore. I guess we needed some time apart to grow.

Experimenting is leaving some space for mistakes. I don’t believe in mistakes when it comes to creativity though. Because it always becomes some learning material. Think of it that way next time.

I’m back today with my first video of this second term with ColourArte.

Today, I am fulfilling my abstract explorations obsession and share with you a technique new to me (technique discovered via Ann Osborne). Another current creative obsession of mine is adding blank spaces in my paintings, how the nothingness can still tell stories too. In this project, I chose black acrylic paint to contrast with the beautiful vibrancy brought by the Vivid Ultra Metallic paints.

I love the feathered look I obtained. Abstract does not necessarily means chaotic. That being so… you can somewhat control the chaos. I use straws but you can blow without anything to direct the air, or you could also use a palette knife or even a Catalyst blade. It’s all up to you !
