Hi painting friends, let’s try a reveal pour! Today I’m creating a two-layer painting of a cute yellow seahorse in its natural habitat - peaceful sea grasses in dreamy turquoise waters.

Thanks to ‪@RinskeDouna‬ and ‪@SarahMackArt‬ for giving me ideas and inspiration on the reveal pour! And of course thanks to Danny Young for inspiring my very first seahorse.

For the background I am using palette knives to blend the colors and swipe the sea grasses. No silicone oil is used in the background.
For the seahorse itself, I’m using a Micro Swipe technique - which uses small, flexible swipe tools to manipulate your paint, and silicone oil to create bubbles. My transparent base is regular US Floetrol.

I created my blue tape template by sketching on kitchen parchment paper, taping over the sketch, and cutting it out. Warming the tape with a hair dryer really helps it make a good seal!

My paint is all mixed with floetrol (about 2:1 floetrol to paint) and thinned water to a medium-thin consistency. Paint-mixing video is here!    • Mixing Paint for Acrylic Pouring - ST...

    The original seahorse was what inspired me to start pouring. I don't think I'm at the seahorse level yet, but the colours you have chosen are beautiful and I'm further inspired to try it sooner than later. Thank you, Anna. 🙂✌️

    I would like to see you do an owl. This turned out great. I wasn't so sure about the yellow color but I like it.

    Thank you so much for your videos! I have learned so much and can't thank you enough! I have discovered I don't even have to use the tape at all, I just pencil sketch the shape and cover with leading edge paint.
