Bolstered by Thursday's pour session and having woken up unusually early on Friday I decided to get a few things done while I had the energy.

Laundry, gathering and cleaning up paint supplies for bub's room and prepping canvases were on top of my priority list.

I did want to pour yesterday, I was thinking a couple of canvases should do but got a bit carried away and before I knew it I had 4 canvases prepped on my table 😱😱😱

Lucky for me Hubby got me new paint colours and more Floetrol yesterday so I had plenty of supplies for what was shaping up to be a huge pour day.

1 of 4

I never really know how my pours will go. Some days I've felt really good and positive and they turned out crap so I figured I'd start small and go with the smallest canvas which is 10cm x 10cm.

Colours used: Dark blue, Mauve, Teal, Coral, Yellow, Pink, Gold, Metallic Teal, White
Method: Dutch Pour
Materials: Heat gun, Hair dryer, No silicone

Straight up, I was shocked at how well it turned out. Love, love, loved it!

Seeing that the firs canvas went well, I figured why not push my luck and keep going. Hell, while I'm pushing my luck, might as well go with a round canvas.

Colours used: Dark blue, Mauve, Teal, Coral, Yellow, Pink, Gold, Metallic Teal, White
Method: Dutch Pour
Materials: Heat gun, Hair dryer, No silicone

This one is giving me a bit of a sea vibe. I did want more white (negative space) but I didn't want to fiddle around with it too much. Still though, I'm quite happy with it.

By the time I got to this canvas I figured I'm on a roll and I need to take advantage of it lol

Love this one! It reminds me of a dragon :) Really happy with how it turned out first go and she was done.

Now this last one.... Lawdy this last one..

Either my luck was running out or fatigue was setting in but it took me 3 (or was it 4?) goes before I was happy with the result.

First try

Gross 🤢. See how the colours have mixed to a brownish sludge? 🤮

I knew exactly where I went wrong too.

Last try

A couple more scrapes that went undocumented before I got this and even then I threw more paint on the canvas after the hair dryer hit it.

Seriously, this larger canvas was harder to work with than I imagined but I got there in the end.

Colours used: Dark blue, Mauve, Teal, Coral, Yellow, Pink, Gold, Metallic Teal, White
Method: Dutch Pour
Materials: Heat gun, Hair dryer, No silicone

There's a chunk of negative space at the top left but I figured I can maybe draw a mandala or add crystals or something to fill the space in?

My biggest concern right now is the drying part. Aside from the small canvas the rest are still wet and I'm worried there's too much paint on them. If there is, they might crack 😭 I'm hoping they'll be fine 🙏🤞🙏

More painting for me today though nothing quite as exciting as acrylic pouring since I'll be painting bub's feature wall and probably furniture.

But at least bub's room should be set up and ready this weekend! Kinda excited about that!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend!
