Introduction to Paint Pouring
Paint pouring is a unique and captivating art technique that involves pouring liquid paint onto a surface, allowing the colors to blend and flow in a unique and unpredictable way. This technique can be used to create a wide range of effects, from smooth, blended colors to textured, splattered designs. There are several different methods of paint pouring, including intentional pouring, flip cup, and paint blowing. Intentional pouring involves pouring paint onto a surface and allowing it to flow and blend in a controlled manner. Flip cup involves pouring paint into a cup and then flipping it onto a surface, creating a dynamic, swirling design. Paint blowing involves using a blowpipe to blow paint onto a surface, creating a textured, splattered effect.
Colour Theory and Mixing
Colour theory is the study of how colours interact with each other and with the human eye. When it comes to paint pouring, colour theory is crucial, as the way you mix colours can greatly affect the final result. To create beautiful, harmonious effects, it’s essential to understand how to choose and mix colours. Some key principles of colour theory include the colour wheel, primary and secondary colours, and warm and cool colours. The colour wheel is a circular diagram that shows how colours are related to each other. Primary colours are the base colours that cannot be created by mixing other colours together. Secondary colours are created by mixing two primary colours together.
