Conceptualization - Canvas Painting
Acrylic Pouring is a Fluid Painting technique. Here, you mix different acrylic colors with a pouring medium and apply them to the canvas. As the name suggests, you pour them directly onto the canvas. Then you let the paint flow, change the direction of the flowing process. The fluid painting technique used is called Puddle Pour Painting Technique.
INSPIRATION
A Nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some Nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Nebulae are made of dust and gases—mostly hydrogen and helium. The dust and gases in a nebula are very spread out, but gravity can slowly begin to pull together clumps of dust and gas. As these clumps get bigger and bigger, their gravity gets stronger and stronger.
Eventually, the clump of dust and gas gets so big that it collapses from its own gravity. The collapse causes the material at the center of the cloud to heat up-and this hot core is the beginning of a star. Nebulae exist in the space between the stars—also known as interstellar space. The closest known nebula to Earth is called the Helix Nebula.
PAINTING TECHNIQUE
Puddle Pour
With the Puddle Pour each color is poured individually, one after the other on the canvas picture. A color is taken as a basis, in which all other colors are poured one after the other.
Each color is mixed individually, together with the pouring medium (e.g. Liquitex) and water. For better cell formation, two to three drops of silicone oil can be added per color.
The individual colors are poured one after the other onto the center of the painting ground. (Canvas)
The painting ground is moved back and forth until the paint has spread over the painting ground and the result corresponds to the ideas.
