Pouring medium in Blue and Purple

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

This is about the last pouring medium painting I ever made. It was made using Liquitex paint. Liquitex has a lot of mediums to give your paintings a little bit of a special effect. As of lately, I have been using the iridescence medium. It works great as a type of titanium white.

When mixed with other paints, it lightens and it gives a nice shimmering effect. It is good for making stuff that have a bit of a metallic sheen. I like a lot those little gimmicky type of paints. I this of all of my attempts, this one came out the best. It is all a matter of getting the right amount of paint and mixing them together.

When not done right, it came come out as a bit of a mess. All in all, it is a little bit too much of a bother. I have another type of medium that ended up working better. The gel medium is good for doing the lineart of the painting. It adds a bit of relief to everything.

It was originally conceived to do Jackson Pollock paintings. I use it a little bit differently. I was never that big into Jackson Pollock. He was just a little bit too much of a messy painter and a drunkard to boot. Then again, you can say the same thing about almost every modern painter.

Needless to say, I am a big fan of painters who make artworks that resemble something or other. I think this is just about it as far as my nonsense goes. You can find all the art supplies I mentioned here in my store. They are mainly situated in Artsy’s Choice.

I have there everything I use to make my paintings and drawings. I still have not uploaded the marker nonsense. I have to get around to taking the photos. Everything is a work in progress if one wants to succeed. There is always room for improvement with most things in life. There is no such thing as perfect in this world.
