This was the first time I decided to put down the paint brush and explore using a palette knife ... I found an image online to use as a goal to recreate and it turned out so well!! I actually gifted this to a close friend a few years ago.

I absolutely LOVE using palette tools now to create depth, texture, and body to my work.

I made this piece at the beginning of my journey exploring Acrylic Pouring.

I thought it was going to be so easy when I first attempted it, but I actually destroyed several canvases, TONS of paint, and ALOT of time.

I couldn't figure out the right ratios for paint, water, and mediums, and everything kept turning out HORRIBLE! It was all trial and error.... But this was the first pour during that period I actually liked. Something about it just makes me happy and I was so proud of myself. I eventually gifted this one to a friend later on as well.

Since then, I've become a fan of using the Acrylic Pouring technique and enjoy the amazing designs that can be created.

I like to use Acrylic Pouring as a base/ background to canvases that I end up painting images or words over with a paintbrush. It really gives the art a unique touch.

This piece was made a few years ago but I've never been able to part with it. There were alot of emotions behind it and I still feel like it isn't "finished, but I never seem to add anything to it either.

There may come a day when I am ready to put this one up for sale, but until then, I think I'll keep it around a little longer.
