Pouring Paint

Grace's poured painting 6x6"

It's a snow day here, second in a row to be exact.  I've spent a good part of the morning working with artist resin and Liquitex Pouring Medium.

This is a little piece my Granddaughter Grace started on March break.  Unfortunately we got distracted and didn't tend to it while the pouring medium was setting up so it needed some repairs, decided a snow day was the time to fix it up.

Using Liquitex Pouring Medium with acrylic paint is a wonderful, fun way for kids to explore the abstract form and create something pretty special.

It's easy to work with although messy, but the Pouring Medium does clean up with water and a good scrub.

The trick is really in making sure you have a good evenly flat surface for it to dry on, so you really do need to hang out and watch paint dry, at least for a time!

As always experimenting is half the fun when it comes to abstract and mixed media.


















So this is Grace, soon to become a teenager, she was a born actress thanks to her Mom's genes and Lyvia who just likes to ham it up with Photo Booth :-)

Grandkids, have got to be the best gift life gives!
