My second pour attempt turned out so much better than the first.

Liner Notes:

• PAINT:  little bottles of liquid craft acrylics
• COLORS:  Royal Purple, Vanilla Ice Cream, Pure Gold, Black
• FLOW MEDIUM:  diluted Elmer’s GLUE ALL
• ADDITIVE:  hair clipper oil (didn’t have silicone OR hair oil, figured close enough)
• GROUND:  same sheet of 140 lb., 100% cotton, cold pressed watercolor paper.
• METHOD:  drizzle/pour paint mixtures directly onto ground
• BLOW TORCH:  no

The biggest surprise discovered about pouring on nice thick cotton paper was how good it feels, almost like a leather or something, after it dried. Yes, it warped a bit as it was drying, but a little flexing made it flat again. When you pour on paper, you can cut out interesting areas as smaller art or for other uses, perhaps to make a cover for a homemade journal book.

I’ll experiment with other grounds later… right now, I’m playing with paper.

UPDATE: I chopped it up.

Thanks for reading!
