Pouring paint is so very unpredictable but, that is what is so enticing about this style of painting! I do love to play with art that creates itself and when I do, it is so very therapeutic. So, grab some paint and let’s get to it.


Step 2: Next, add one drop of silicone pouring medium to your base color and stir very well. Without stirring in the silicone, there can be silicone puddles that build up and separate your paints but, not in a good way.

Also we will not be adding silicone to every color, so it is important that you stir well. Popsicle sticks work great for stirring.


Step 4: The next color that I add is the beige. Try to pour your paint in the middle of the cup, that way when you actually dump it, the colors will spread out evenly.

Step 5: Here is my magic color that I want to use in this one. The Metallic colors like bronze, gold or silver, always make such a great addition to any mix up you can imagine. This here is a bronze metallic with one drop of silicone. Remember to stir the silicone in very well.


Step 7: Now it is time to have some fun. So in this multi-cup pour, I want to spread the colors out in a way that makes sure I will be covering the entire panel. You can try a single cup pour and compare it to a 2 or 3 or 6 cup pour. It is all up to you how and what color.

Step 8: Now that you have flipped and dumped the paint, let the cups sit for a couple minutes to let the paint completely empty onto the panel.

Step 9: Now that the paint cups have emptied out, it is time to lift and drag. By that I mean I am not simply lifting strasight up. I am lifting and dragging the cup around to the areas that don’t have paint. This aids in the even spreading of the paints around the panel.

Step 10: So now comes time to add flame to the paint. The torch actually helps in popping any bubbles as well as aid in the separation of colors and cell formations. With the torch, remember that less is more and one pass with it will do. Torching it more times will not help create more cells.
