Blue Dragon SWIRL - Using only Paint + Water PLUS a NEW Color! Abstract Art Painting

Using paint and water can be so easy - you really don't always need a pouring medium so give it a try. I made my own unique color and did a swirl using the help of an embroidery hoop to help me get the shape I wanted.

Today's Tutorial Information:

▶ Technique: Dutch Pour

▶ Pouring Medium formula: My paints are mixed with water only - on a ratio of 1:1. You may have to adjust your ratios depending on the paint brands you use.

▶ Color Palette:
Amsterdam: Brilliant Blue, Sky Blue Light, Kings Blue, Phthalo Blue, Titanium White.
I made my own base color combining Prussian blue and Paynes grey.

▶ Hair dryer: When I use a hair dryer I use the Remington D3010 and always use the cool setting and the lowest blow speed.
