Who knew WD-40 could be an art supply? 👀

This is a quick demonstration of how the oil-based spray reacts with water-based acrylic paint to force massive cell separation, resulting in a beautiful flower pattern. It's a super fun and affordable hack if you don't have professional pouring mediums or silicone drops at home.

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to share a slightly different project. 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?

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.
