Acrylic Pouring Art

YouTube is a treasure trove of art information--including my newest love: Acrylic Pouring. Here are my first efforts with Dirty Pour Flip, and Dirty Pour Ribbon.  The "dirty" in the name means basically that the paints are poured into a main cup, so they are all relatively mixed together before flipping that cup onto the canvas, or pouring it out onto the canvas in a "ribbon".  Other things are involved, such as which ingredient you add to make "cells": the spots that occur when the ingredient reacts with the acrylic paints. There is also the tilting, swiping and dragging, and new things developed every day by all the fabulous artists out there experimenting with everything.  It's pretty cool!
