This medium intrigued me and I thought I'd give it a try.
uh oh
I was hooked!
You mix acrylic paint with silicone or dimethicone (found in Coconut Hair Serum), and a conditioner to make it pour easily, a little water, and then use different tricks for pouring it onto a canvas. Afterwards, it gets hit with a heat gun to create the "cells" or bubble formations that come from the heat making the additive rise to the surface.
And it is an ooey, gooey, mess of fun!
After a few days of learning how the paint moves and how to control it a little (haha, it is wayyyy out of control, but you can try!)
I decided to try some more representational works. Or as Sugarwings calls it, intentional pouring.
And then I discovered oceans…..
And I cannot stop.
This is why, the elusive cells. When they happen where I want them, it is a wonderful thing.
Some have more than others, but I can't stop chasing them and hoping I catch some.
These are STUNNING!! Exactly what materials did you use and where did you buy? Can you post a how to video for the oceans? Any chance you will sell these? LoVE them!!!!
I did do a video and am waiting for it to upload on youtube. I’ll have info about it then. I also have another blog post planned with more details.
Very Beautiful!! I can’t wait to see your video!!
Thank you! It is up now:

Can you tell me how you mixed the fluids for the pour? I would love to try this!
