Acrylic paint on Graphix film 4″ x 4″ image (8″ x 8″ matted and framed behind glass)
I love the dynamic movement in this painting as the fast-traveling cells must detour around a wall of large bubbles. 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. The big moment comes when I pour the liquid concoction onto Graphix film, tilting and tipping to get the look I want. I use a butane torch to get cells of color to bubble up to the surface.
