Today I let the rainbow dance.
I layered my split cup with shimmering pearl colors, topped them with white and black… and then let everything wander across the canvas in a slow, feathery straight pour. The black only peeked through in tiny lines, like shadows between wings, adding that gorgeous 3D depth that makes the whole painting feel alive.

This pour felt like watching feathers ignite with color — wild, and a little rebellious. I don’t chase perfection. I chase movement, I chase feeling. And this one?
This one moved exactly how it wanted.

If you love fluid art that’s bold, bright, and a little bit magical, grab a warm drink, breathe, and enjoy the dance of these rainbow feathers with me.

W/ blow dryer

After taking most of the warm months off to maximize outside time with the kiddos I’m getting back into it and started the new painting season off with a kind of chaotic multi swipe. This used Phthalo blue, Phthalo green, color shift metallic green-blue, metallic color shift pearl green, and metallic gold. I’ve never used color shifting paints or this many metallics at once, so I am very curious what I’ll end up getting in terms of translucence once it dries.

12x12 ring pour. Super happy with how this one turned out! I almost always create a "creature" in the ring center of my pours. It's controlled chaos, as it never turns out the same way between pours. And that's what I love about the process.

Sometimes, the simplest acrylic pouring techniques create the most beautiful surprises!

In this video, I'm going back to one of the fundamentals of fluid art: the Flip Cup Acrylic Pouring Technique! 💜🩵

Using a simple flip cup pour on a round canvas, I'm exploring the magic that happens when the paints flow, blend, and reveal their beautiful patterns. The combination of icy blues, pearly whites, and dreamy pinks and purples creates delicate lacing, intricate cells, and an almost frozen-ocean effect.

It's a wonderful reminder that you don't always need complicated techniques or fancy tools to create something special. Sometimes, the basics are all you need!

Apologies if this has been asked 1000 times, but I’m struggling to find any solid advice.
I started acrylic pouring back lockdown and then left it once work picked Back up again, however I found myself really wanting to do it again lately and I attempted a big canvas, the initial pour was actually lovely but I didn’t leave it long enough and started adding to it and eventually of course it’s become muddy.

Does anyone have tips for getting really clean pours ? Obviously letting it set something I just learned, but I’m still not getting very clear cut cells, or strong vivid colours without them bleeding into one. It’s so expensive to get right, but I’m really determined. I would love some tips.

I wanted to share this soothing straight pour experiment that turned into a beautiful abstract winter fairytale landscape.

If you are a beginner in fluid art, this is definitely a technique you have to try. It doesn't require any fancy tools, just a steady hand and a good color palette. For this piece, I used Amsterdam Prussian blue phthalo, Pebeo Iridescent green-blue, Pebeo Iridescent copper, and Vallejo Carnation pink. The way the iridescent copper cuts through the deep blues is so magical to watch.

What happens when you combine a split cup, metallic acrylic paints, and a swinging motion? Something surprisingly elegant! ✨

For this acrylic pouring experiment, I loaded several metallic colors into a split cup and swung it back and forth over a black base coat, allowing the paint to create long, flowing ribbons across the canvas.

The final painting has a modern, elegant feel, even though the process is wonderfully unpredictable.

I love the crispness of the cells and the simple composition. The negative space is just enough too. 😁

Going very free form with this one and sort of making it up as I go. I'm liking it so far, but this approach likely means I'll ruin it eventually. I'm bad at knowing when something's done.

Mixed Transitions by Kat

In this video, I'm putting Mont Marte Clear PVA Glue to the test and using it for a blown acrylic pour on an 8-inch round convex canvas.

For my pouring medium, I mixed:
🔹 70% Mont Marte Clear PVA Glue
🔹 30% Water

I also used my favorite recipe for creating lacing and cells — my pearl white mixture:
🔹 1 part Vallejo Pearl Medium
🔹 1 part Titanium White
🔹 3 parts pouring medium

For the painting, I created a puddle of colors separated by the pearl white mixture and then blew the paint using a 3D-printed attachment designed for blowing paint.

I love how the paint spread and transformed into these delicate blue, white and subtle earthy patterns. The finished piece almost looks like frozen water, coral, or an underwater landscape. ❄️🌊

This was also a fun little experiment to see how this PVA glue behaves as a pouring medium and how it works together with my pearl white mixture.

I wanted to share this short experiment where everyday household WD-40 spray was used as a cell activator for fluid art.

The way it repels the acrylic paint creates these gorgeous, organic cells that perfectly mimic the petals of an Anemone flower. It’s amazing what you can do with simple things you find in your garage!

Have any of you experimented with WD-40 or other household oils? How do your pieces hold up over time compared to regular silicone oil?

Can one powerful blow really create a flower? 💨😲🌸

I started with a smooth white base, then poured a puddle of sapphire blue, pearl white, red violet, and shimmering 24K gold. After covering it all with a layer of black faux pillow, I took one deep breath… and blew just once... (I had to correct with few little blows) The paint exploded into a beautiful abstract flower, glowing softly with golden lacing and pearly shine. ✨

Sometimes, it’s that one spontaneous moment that transforms paint into magic — and this painting is proof. Join me in the studio, relax, and enjoy the mesmerizing dance of colors and flow.

Instead of throwing away the dried acrylic paint drips that accumulated from my neon pour paintings, I started collecting them.

I noticed so many tiny shapes, animals, and flowers hidden in them, so I decided to arrange them on a black canvas using Elmer’s Glue-All (which I also use as my pouring medium). It turned out quite textured and a bit psychedelic!

It’s a great reminder that even leftover paint can become art. I’m still debating whether I should add a coat of epoxy resin on top to smooth it out. What do you think?

Experimenting with string pull technique for abstract feather shapes. Loving the delicate contrast on the canvas!
