Hello, my Creative Friends! Olga Soby here, and welcome to new acrylic pouring
video. Today let's try and create a sun pour painting. So previously, I have done this
central blowout technique for our collaboration with Molly from @Molly's Artistry. And I really
love the technique and the effect it creates. It's perfect for sort of bursting or shining effect,
so I thought it's going to be perfect for creating sun in the sky
type of painting. So let's see how it works. Let's get started with it.
So today, working on the 16 by 20 cradled wood panel, and let's start adding out those colors.
So for my sun, I want it to be a combination of white and gold, for the most part, to really have
that shine when the painting is going to be dry. So I first added in some white, and I want to
add gold just over it. So when I blow it out, it sort of all blends in hopefully looks pretty cool.
Okay, I also want to add some orange. I think that would also be nice for a glowing warm effect.
I also have some yellow here, but I don't know if I want to use it. Let's add a few drops.
Add a bit more white, okay. And here, from the sun, I want to gradually add lighter
blue to darker blue. But to really help that sun differentiate first color, I want to add
dark. Hopefully, that will help it pop a little better. It really helps to have a lazy susan,
as I said in the previous video or some sort of spinner. If you want to see how I did mine as
well as get some other tips for workspace setup, I share a lot of information in my guide on my
website. It's for free. If you want to check it out, the link is in the description. And guys,
check out my website. There are so many good tutorials, recommendations for acrylic pouring.
It's definitely a must-read for all the beginners and not only beginners. Okay, so next one is this
lighter blue. Actually, maybe I need more of it.
How about take out the spoon mixing stick?
That wouldn't hurt.
This color here is turquoise. That's not exactly color of the sky, but I thought I'll add it
just to break down all cool blue. I just need one that's going to be a little warmer.
Just to make this color palette a little more interesting.
Okay, this one here is iridescent blue-green. And that will also help this color palette really pop,
and it also dries with a beautiful iridescent shine. So I love using iridescent colors,
and this is the iridescent color by Pebeo. So they have a whole series of iridescent colors, but for
turquoise, they have this iridescent blue-green and iridescent green-blue. They're very close to
each other, but this one, the blue-green, has a more blue hue to it. And it only has this little
touch hint of green on certain angles when you look at it when it's dry. And the green, the
green-blue, is opposite. It looks turquoise green and only in some angles when you look
at it because it's iridescent color. So it changes depending on the angle you look at it.
It does look a little bit bluish. So both of them are really awesome. For this color palette,
I'm using blue-green. Because I want it to be more blue than green. Okay,
so finally, let's add in some darker color. We want to have the dark going all the way out.
You know what? I think I need to add a little bit of that blue here as well.
This is another dark blue.
All right, so the colors are all in. Let's torch it.
Okay, let's do it.
Note to self - this makes the perfect snowflake. Maybe with a bit different color
layout, I should do one
when the winter comes. This would be absolutely perfect. Okay, guys, remind me to do a snowflake.
That looks really cool, but does it look like a sun?
I'm not so sure, but it definitely has this beautiful glowing effect.
I'm going to do something. I want to add a circle inside, and I think that will make it look more
like a sun. Because right now, it's a mix of molecule and snowflake and maybe sea star
but not so much the sun. Should I do it? Yeah, I'm gonna do it. Gosh,
it's so beautiful. I really don't want to mess it up, but I also
want to change it. Okay, I can't see exactly where is the center. So I need to get my stepladder.
It's always easier to look from above.
Oh my god, I have this song stuck with me - the Beetles
"Here comes the sun". I hope to come the sun comes on this painting. Okay, let's lift it up.
I should have dipped it in gold first. That'll look more like sun, though. Okay, I want to try to
do it again but with gold.
Make it or break it.
Okay, now with some gold, I like it better.
I feel like I need to blend in the circle with some of the rays that go out,
and that should make it look more like one piece. So just trying to bring some unity.
I definitely like it much better now. I wish I didn't have that much blue, though, in this ring.
Let's see how it dries because when it's gonna be dry, the gold is gonna pop, and it's gonna look
rather different from now. Regardless I'm pretty happy. I will be right back. Keep watching.
So here is this beauty all dry, and I have to say it dried really perfectly this time. This
sun really reminds me of ancient greek symbol of the sun, where the rays of the sun go out
in a bit of a curvy sort of wavy movement. I think this painting also totally got that
energy, that vibe, and I totally love it. Um, I haven't finished this piece with a layer of epoxy
yet because I just haven't quite decided whether I'm done with it or should it work more,
maybe on a ring part, add more gold, and work it a little bit towards the center. I don't know. What
do you guys think? Should I leave it alone, leave it as is or work a little bit on the ring part?
Let me know what you think in the comments under this video. One thing I do know for sure, though,
about this piece is that I just totally love how the iridescent blue-green dried. And see how it
beautifully shines all around the gold. It just adds such a beautiful effect, and it helped me
to achieve a lot of this lacing in this piece. So this is just the magic of iridescent colors. Thank
