Pearlescent Zig-Zag Technique + Marble STUNNING Results! Pour Paint Abstract Painting
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
What do we get if we zig-zag and line the paint on the canvas rather than just puddle the paints on the canvas? Well, today I am exploring just that and WOW what a difference it makes. plus adding some shadowing really makes this piece POP.

▶▶▶More about this Tutorial ▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶ ▶▶ ▶
▶ Technique: Liquid Puddle Pour, Marble, Swipe and Tilt.
▶ Canvas size: 20x20 inches
▶ Pouring Medium formula: My paints are mixed with a Pouring Medium for all techniques unless otherwise stated in the video. The ratio I use is 1:3:1 Paint/Medium/Water. I use Floetrol/Owatrol for my medium. For those creations that I use water only (again I will say so in the video so please watch the full video for more details) Water only creations use the ratio of 1:1 paint to water.
▶ Color Palette:
Amsterdam: Lamp Black (Base Color)
Amsterdam Pearlescent Paints: Blue, Red, Violet, Green
▶ Hair dryer: When I use a hair dryer I use the Remington D3010 and always use the cool setting and the lowest blow speed.

Dearest Mark!!! I cannot believe it is only a year since a shy young man started posting the 1st video that I saw of your work 😮. You have come so far since those early days & I really love how you have progressed in your art & presentation ❤🎉😊. I am so happy for you!!❤❤ This is one of your best pieces (to me anyway - including your calm & informative explanation). There are also 2 pieces behind you on the wall that caught my eye that I havnt yet seen a video of (my fault there I am sure 😢). The sunburst one behind yourself & what looks like a feather on the side in the corner. Both look STUNNING!! Is there a quick link to videos of those ?? I would love to see them! 🎉 Keep up the good work, you are really one of the best out there ❤🤗👏👏👏

Thank you so so much!! Wow that’s sooo kind of you to say! I think the one behind me is this one: Sandy Shores Sunset - Composition and not giving up! - Swipe Technique - Acrylic Pouring Fluid Art kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6N3uMSCc5TXj6w.html I’m not sure which other one you mean? The one on the right hand side as you look at the screen with the buff titanium base?
Beautiful! I love that you didn't rush the stretching of the paint.

Thank you so much! I’m playing with Pearlescent’s again to kick the year off. I started a series last year in January too. Lots more to come. In terms of vision, I really like to just see how it transforms. Sometimes it works, other times I get lost in the Moment and see where it goes.
Very pretty piece and I love the swipes on the sides.

Hi Mark. I wish you a lot of new inspirations in the New Year 2024. I love it. Pearlessent colours with marbelling is magical. The lacing edges are the cherry on the top of the cake. Wery inspirating ❤.

Hey Mark !! 🎉🎉🎉 I missed your creations during the holiday season. 😉 But I sincerely believe that you needed some time off. 🤔😊 And yes, I'm back too, 😄 to hear you and look at your art. It is currently 2 a.m. in Quebec. I'm surprised to see how dark the colors appear already even on the wet version.😲 When you showed the dry version, I said Wow out loud.😃 I couldn't believe it. 😳 I love the lacing around and on the sides of the canvas. I also really like when you use a marble to create beautiful designs. This piece is stunning and truly beautiful. 💯💯 I remember that Molly did several tests and she noticed that when she made puddles the outline which was thinner and which was in more direct contact with the black gave a darker color around the puddle. You have confirmed this hypothesis with this zigzag canvas. 👍 Thin fold line in contact with black and now the colors are more pigmented. 👍💯💯💯 I hope you don't mind when I mention Molly in your comments. I'm just fascinated by what you're doing that makes sense between the two channels. 🙏 Have nice day to you!! 🌈

Wow, what a great start into the new year, watching your video. This piece is gorgeous. I love the surprise moments with the pearlescent colours. Fun part: when you were pouring the zigzags, I thought it would be a great idea to use the marble, not knowing that you were going to do so 😃 And when you tilted the canvas, a few times I caught myself tilting my phone because I feared that you would lose all the lacings - LOL. Great job again 🖒💖
