I Added Alcohol Ink to My Fluid Art… Look What Happened!

Inspired by the iridescent beauty of the Pāua shell, today’s fluid art painting is a journey through shades of blue, turquoise, and shimmering pearlescent textures.
I start with a straight pour, layering fluid paints into a cup and pouring directly onto the canvas. Using a mix of cool blues, turquoise, and a pearl pour mix, I tilt the canvas to create organic patterns that shift and flow like the ocean. The pearl pour reacts beautifully, forming organic textures that shimmer beneath the surface.
To deepen the dimension, I add a second layer once the painting is dry—pouring in deep turquoise mixed with pouring medium, enhancing the movement and depth. And then comes the magic: I splash iridescent silver alcohol ink over the top, just to see what happens—and the result is incredible.
The final piece glows with layered colour, delicate textures, and the essence of something wild and luminous—just like the Pāua shell that inspired it.
