Hi Mark, I just discovered you about a month ago and am in love with this technique. I always use a black base because it gives the colors just the right amount of shading. I also use pigments once I can see the halo of the color just to give it a different look. Thank you so much Mark, I think you are amazing!!!!

I really appreciate your kind words of encouragement and support- so thank you so much for being here! Hope you continue to enjoy what you see.

Go for it! Just remember the Pearlescent’s need a dark color to go with it to help it change color and pop. And also remember when layering the effect opaque and transparent will have on the effect

There's so many different techniques I've tried with these paints and I still have more mixed up and I'm probably going to pour over that 2 ft by 3 foot 1 that swipe I'm just not doing it. But I love that effect you got you could always do something on top of it I think it's beautiful. And I love pastel.

Hi Mark. I wanted to ask you about the base paint color. I have used black, and the colors come out beautiful. What do you think about a dark blue, or dark green, as the base? Would the light bounce back from something besides black? Thanks for any help you can give me. And thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us.

Hi Michelle, it would if they base was dark. Dark opaque bases are the best 👍🏻

Hello Mark, I love this piece. The colors is so soft. 💗 The color is more delicate. You demonstrated the impact of the wet black paint under the pearlescente paint. It's so interesting. 🤩 Yesterday i see a video on youtube. The guy explain than we can mix those colors you use with other primary and tertiary colors. The video is not for pouring but I believe we could apply it. If you're ever interested in seeing the video, I'll leave you the contact details.

Pearlescent paints “look” white but when they are mixed with a dark color like black they react and turn into a color - it’s all to do with the transparency and how the light bounces off the background and through the paints too

What if a liquid black paint was the base for those puddles
