I’ve been looking for some inspiration lately, so I was going through the YouTube channel for acrylicpouring.com when I found Steve’s Summer Wave video.

Have you ever started pouring and just thought, nope, not what I wanted? Maybe you used the wrong color combination, the wrong approach to a pour, or even just as you tilted you knew it wasn’t going to be anywhere near what you were hoping for. This is what happened on this project. I had …
