'Ghost Galaxy' Acrylic Pouring
Two tone background
Big canvas!
I'm explaining the mistakes I made whilst doing this Dutch Pour and how I tried to fix what I could.
You will see that I'm not totally satisfied with the result, not only because the mistakes I made, but also because it's not exactly what I envisioned in my mind. I even thought of scraping it off! But a little voice in my soul didn't allow to do that, so I decided to let it dry. And now, I feel that this painting is growing on me!
Because in fluid art, you rarely, if never, can exactly get what you have imagined! But this is the extra spice in this art form, isn't it?
What do you think? Was this the right decision to give this creation a chance to dry? Or instead, I should have saved the paints for a future pour? Please let me know in the comments below!

Canvas: 50x70cm deep edge
Colours used:
Base - Liquitex Dioxazine Purple and Pebeo Dark Cobalt Violet Hue
Arteza Electric Plum
Liquitex Medium Magenta
Amsterdam Titanium White (mixed with my usual pouring medium, American Flood Floetrol and water)
Pebeo Iridescent Violet Blue
Liquitex Prism Violet
Amsterdam Titanium White mixed with AUSTRALIAN Floetrol in a ratio of 1:3
Pouring medium for the base and the blowout colours except for the last one:
American Flood Floetrol
Water
Recipe:
1 part paint
2 parts Floetrol
0.75 part water
I had to add more water to Pebeo Dark Cobalt Violet Hue to match its consistency with the other base colour's consistency, so the ratio for that one is 1:2:1
Hair dryer used: Flower by Drew Barrymore (small travel hair dryer)
