Acrylic Pouring Fiona Art Inspired Multiple Techniques Split Cup Ring Pour Straight Pour
Hello Friends! Welcome back to another Night Pouring episode! Today I was so inspired by my dear friend Fiona of Fiona Art and her video exploring technique and color, that I wanted to try some of the techniques again today, especially with the gorgeous color palette she chose.
I absolutely love The Quinacridone Burnt Orange and lately I have been playing with Goldens Nickel Azo Gold more so I was intrigued by the idea of playing with different yellows with this palette.
Note* this video was long so I have sped up some parts in the interest of time
I show you the dried results from Tuesdays pour, Elemental Vortex and the test piece. They dried very well, and I love the colors in those pieces. The yellow is in that pour too LOL

I use a Tracie Reed 6 0z Split cup to attempt a straight pour on a spinner.. you can find the cup here:

Fionas Video that Inspired me :
• (611) Straight pour with PEARL WHITE ~ Acr...
I am repouring on a 20 inch round Convexo canvas. You can find them at Blick Art Supply or at Jerrys Artarama.
I fill a different split cup that HoA made for me and pour a ring pour. It feels like there is a lot of white on half the canvas. I tilt it out and am surprised that I really like the white with the colorful lines going thru it, but interestingly I dont like the Nickel Azo Gold where it blended with the Greenish Blue. At this point Ive had enough of split cups for today so I layer a regular 16 ounce plastic cup carefully down the side and decide to do a straight pour this time, since I was following Fiona's video.
I immediately like parts of it, but realize there is too much paint on my canvas. The parts that I like are on opposite sides of the canvas, so in stretching one side out I may lose the other side in the process. So there is a lot of careful tilting, I have sped some of it up to make it easier to see the paint move (and in the interest of time). I finally get the composition the way I want it and Im done, I did manage to open up the "flames" but I ended up taking off quite a bit of paint.. in the end thats a good thing because this was repouring on this canvas and I would rather not leave a lot of extra paint on there to dry.
Editing the video while helping my daughter with homework she suggested that the painting was a waterfall surrounded by gemstones.. so this piece is Gemstone Waterfall.
Thank you all so much for being here with me today, I hope you enjoyed this journey to the waterfall,. Even though there were twists and turns I still really like where we ended up. I will keep practicing with the split cup and spinner, I promise!
I will see you on Sunday with the dried results.. have a wonderful day!
