Seas of Summer

by Scuff Scotch

I was very inspired to do an ocean-related picture and had to figure out a good way to make what I wanted work. I mixed floetrol and acrylic paint as I usually would for all the blues and blacks I used in the picture, however when I mixed the white, I made sure to make it especially thin and watered down.

I did a flip cup with the thicker colors mentioned, then poured white around that and used a scraper tool to push all the thin white on top of the rest of the paint. After that, I just used a torch and it worked perfectly to get that ocean effect!

Seaglass

by Julie Cutts

Here is What Julie Says about this pour:

“Seaglass” an acrylic flip cup pour using glue and water as my pouring medium and treadmill silicone for cells. I mixed my paints a little thinner for this pour, layered the paint in cups, and flipped them onto my canvas. I tilted the canvas to get the surface covered, then torched lightly to bring the cells up.

Love Bridges Worlds

By Linda King

Linda Says:

This is a 6 flip cup pour with blue and white alternating layers in each cup(bottom layer blue, white, blue, top white). Each cup used a different hue of blue from light to darker.

After flipping each cup I would pull the cup toward me to help drag the paint into the elongated layers on the canvas, then tilted to give the layers a sense of undulating movement. There is a drop of silicone in each of the blue colors but not the white!

Deep Sea Coral

By Bobbi Willmer

Bobbi’s Comment:

It was part of this series called “Treasure Falls”. Many comments compared to the artist Gustav Klimt. The technique used was a swipe with a damp paper towel. I used floetrol and a bit of Liquitex gloss medium and varnish.

Underwater Life

By Sheila Eichele

A few Words by Sheila:

“Ring pour with hand-painted freehand jellyfish.

I used 3 colors all mixed with glue and water. White, cobalt blue, and aqua blue.

I layer my cup with several layers. That gives it the fine lines.”
