In my parent's house, our downstairs bathroom has a beach/ocean type theme to it, so the colors are more teal, salmon, cream, blue, etc... I was asked based off of my last painting to try to create a pour that would not only capture those colors, but would also have the look of flowing water in it. Here's the end result. Below it is the process I used.
This was a tough assignment for me, given I've only done about 5 of these so far.
Anyway, let's get started, here's a picture of the colors I used as I was getting set up.
I created 5 unique colors. 2 of the colors I had to mix, as I didn't really have the right color I was looking for.
My plan for the painting was to do a pour with the green, salmon, cream, and most of the blues. I was then planning on adding more of the darker blue and doing a swipe with that blue to create the flowing water effect.
I had no idea how this was going to turn out, but here is the video of the whole process.
It didn't 100% turn out the way I thought it would, but it does have an interesting feel to it. You do get the sense of running water, but I feel like I lost a lot of the vibrancy in the colors. I think it was because tonally, they were all very similar. Next time, I would remove the cream, use white, and probably add the pink color at a different time.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
