Products used: (South Africa) Dala Acrylic Paint: Pearl White, Burnt Umber, Copper, Ultramarine Blue, Black No pouring medium/ Just water and Paint Heat Gun: https://www.amazon.com/Ranger-HIT0047…

So this was part one of this Tree Ring Pour which I decided to try out. I am not used to using brown (Burnt Umber) in my paintings, however I wanted to try something that gives more of an ‘Earthy’ vibe.

When I began pouring my paint onto my canvas I loved how it looked just as it was poured. I almost wish I didn’t have to move it. I am going to try find a way to not move it too much next time and see if it works.

So I was generally happy with the outcome of this painting, however I believe the biggest issue I had with this piece of art was that some of my paints were thicker than the black paint. So the black paint created wiggles in my paining because the paint in that area was too thin. I also had lumps in my paint, so I’ve decided not to go about the lazy route, but to strain my paint and leave it over night to set. This creates the best paint for pouring.

So the outcome of this painting was okay, and it did dry well because I just used water and paint. However, I wasn’t happy with the squiggles and lumps in my paint so I will be attempting this painting again soon and that will be considered part 2.

      1. It is fantastic – it is therapeutic! Three years ago I decided to see if I had a creative side to tap into as a way to help me overcome my anxiety & PTSD. It worked & the rest is history!
        Since anxiety is worrying about things that haven’t happened yet (and probably never will) it was imperative for me to find activities that really kept me in the present moment. And art is that 😍
