hello my creative friends welcome to another acrylic pouring video
today it's gonna be something new today i want to try to go for the uh split color base with the
open cup technique i have never done this combo before but recently i have done many uh color
split pours mostly with the funnel technique and I achieved a lot of beautiful effects
and what I love about split color base is that it allows you to manipulate with a negative space
in a very unique way it also helps you to achieve balance with the composition and of course
a lot of contrast especially if you're using a contrasting colors for your base like black
and white or black and let's say pink or white and purple red and blue and so on so if you also like
this split color concept i highly recommend you to check out this playlist i'm sure you'll find a lot
of ideas there but like i said today i want to try combining this split color with the traveling open
cup i'm very excited to share the process with you and for the base i want to go for black and white
so yeah let's see how that's gonna work let's get started so to try this out i'm gonna just work on
these small 10 by 10 canvas and this would be my colors gonna go in the open cup except for this
is not canvas this is a wooden panel either way um i'm gonna get started by adding my black and white
and i want my black to be sort of on the bottom third maybe slightly above the third
and the white is gonna go on top
so as you can tell I have my sides taped so I don't want them to be covered so I don't need
to worry about them um today which is nice I'm just gonna get a little top of the panel covered
okay
for whatever reason i have a lot of air bubbles in my paint today so I'm gonna torch it out first
to pop all the air bubbles and now let's do the open cup so um this is my open cup
which is a cookie cutter and I use it for the open cup technique and I'm gonna use
um I'm gonna place it here in the center and by the way I'm gonna list all the supplies colors
and mixture and everything else that I'm using in the video description so check it out and yeah
I'm gonna travel it just on a border between the black and white so let me think through the colors
I always like to think through the order it's like my favorite
yeah let's do it this way all right so next I layer colors in the open cup and I'm gonna do
several rounds of each color so I don't add a whole lot of one color at a time
and here I have I think I forgot to mention here I have the carmine
gold a primary red and deep violet
oh begin to travel already lift it a little bit before I'm gonna release it
I want to add just a touch of black on the bottom and white at the top
that was part of the plan so let's quickly do that and this cup is independent all right let's go
oh I love this I love the cells popping up
so now I'm sort of thinking which way do I want to take it whether I want to leave it
or not I really like the bottom part this line of gold uh blending into black it's so
beautiful I love these cells and I really like this red section with the sort of red cells
showing through the black I absolutely love it I definitely don't want to mess this up
I'm not so sure how I feel about the top and whether I want to do anything with it or not
I think I'll try to blow it just to the white section to the white
side
you know what normally I love playing with my composition a lot more I like swiping blowing and
do all kinds of things till I'm happy with all the movement but today I just don't feel like doing
it I feel like this is perfect I love all this negative space it creates a great contrast with
the busyness that's inside and man black white red and gold this combo is so good it's so striking
so contrasting and just beautiful I like this playful line towards the white I love this part
towards the black yeah I don't want to do anything else and yeah let me know how you like this design
how did you like the open cup technique on the split color base and if you would like to see
it on bigger canvases bigger scale I would love to hear from you and thank you so much for watching I
can't wait to share my next video with you and yeah see you next time have a good day bye bye
