I Poured Watercolor AND Acrylic Ink… Look What Happened!

I poured watercolor AND acrylic ink together in one mixed media art experiment… and the results were so worth it.

In this video, I’m mixing fluid watercolor, acrylic ink, watercolor granulation medium and slow tilting techniques to create unexpected blooms, dramatic edges, and gorgeous mixed media textures you have to see.

Watercolor and acrylic ink react so differently and when they meet, the movement, separation, and color shifts are completely unique. If you love mixed media art, watercolor pouring, ink textures, fluid art, or abstract watercolor, this will spark a ton of ideas for your next piece.
