Detour sunprint Poured acrylic painting Encroaching Lava

Poured acrylic painting Encroaching Lava (Little Gem 22) reminds me of the slow-moving lava you might see as the magma on top cools and the thermal layer beneath struggles to continue flowing

Detour is a small, framed acrylic poured painting. I begin by selecting my paints, taking into account the opacity, density, and color mixing properties of each color. I add floetrol (an additive that improves the flow and leveling of paint) and silicone.
