Happy Fourth of July Pouring Art
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
A few days ago, I got around to making some new pouring arts. I made them themed after the fourth of July.
The first one features an American flag. The other two are based on fireworks. I added glitter to the fireworks paintings.
I didn’t do too much gimmick to the American flag. I wanted it to maintain some hints of its original look.
The paintings changed a lot as they dried. Depending on the pouring mediums is how much the paint flows, when it is sitting down.
My pouring paints usually take an entire day to dry. I made these three paintings on wooden panels.
They are perfect for these types of artworks. The paint flows super smoothly, so, I do not need to apply a lot of paint to make a finished artwork.
As of now, I have two types of white paints. One is thick, and the other thin. The thick paint I use it when working with black backgrounds.
When it dries, it maintains its original color. For the fireworks, I was making an experiment. In the first painting, I added glitter first.
On the second painting, I added the glitter last. In one version of the fireworks, I made them my moving the paint with a stick.
In the other version, I blew on the paints with a straw. This created the nice explosion effects.
I hope you like my newest pouring art. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Happy Fourth of July everybody.
