016 "Purple Dean" by Chris Schneider

Chris Schneider from criSam Acrylic Pouring demonstrates a simple flip cup using pinks, blues and purples. Chris has been experimenting with lifting the flip cup and then putting it down half way through the paint release. This results in a beautiful ring effect. The finished painting looks like an alien landscape or flower. It reminded Chris of some of Roger Dean's work, in a very tenuous way, so she has called it "Purple Dean". Techniques covered: Single flip cup. criSam run Acrylic Pouring sessions and are based in Buxted, East Sussex, UK.

I mix this on a 1:1 basis with my acrylic paints. I then add small amounts of water until I get it to the consistency I need for my pour. Paints I tend to use a range of paints and these are some that I use. Pebeo high viscosity acrylics - these are great for their iridescent and metallic ranges.
