• How To Paint A SIMPLE ...
My friend Janet @acryliccreationsbyjwitty8074 has an owl that lives in her barn that she named Owlvin, and during hurricane Ian we were all very concerned that he did not roost before the storm hit. But he came back the next day! So I named this piece Owlvin Returns in celebration!

Here are my keys to success for a Split Cup Wing Pour:
1. Consistency of your paint is VERY important with this technique - and it's a little counter-intuitive. You would think that you want your paints as thick as you can get it... but it's actually better to thin them down a bit. It should still leave a mound on a mound when drizzled off of your stir stick, but the mound should disappear fairly quickly. We want the paint to flow easily without rolling over itself, but that fold that happens when you pour is what creates the 'feathers' so don't thin too much! It might take some practice to get the consistency right - at least it did for me!
2. Layering the Split Cup: The middle chamber should be the same color as your base coat. This will enable you to leave negative space and really show off the wing shape. Since I was using a limited color palette, I only layered the two outer-most chambers with very small layers of copper between larger sections of white. DecoArt Copper can be bossy, so I was careful not to use too much. I started with the copper, then stacked the colors on top of each other. If your paints are the right consistency, they will layer without blending.
3. If you are using a transparent color as a base, make sure you paint your sides and edges! Especially since you will not be tilting towards the corners. Amsterdam Neutral Grey is an opaque color, so I was able to skip that step this time.
4. Tilt of as much of the base coat as possible! You want a wet surface so the pour will flow easily, but the tilting is minimal and you don't want any excess paint that can complicate the drying process.
5. The Tilt: Ok, so, this is the hardest part. Normally, I focus on tilting to cover the corners. For ring pours, flip cups, straight pours... really, any other pour that I can think of. For a wing pour, you CANNOT tilt towards the corners without completely warping the shape. So you have to change how you think and tilt towards the sides. The struggle is real. Take your time and go slooooooowly towards each edge. The weight of your paint creates a little wave - if you allow it to go over the edge, the poured paints will follow. So the trick is to get that wave right up to the edge, and then tilt it back the other direction quickly before it goes over. Tilt the long sides first, then tilt towards the wing tips, and finish by tilting off the messy bit at the bottom. This is another difficulty - knowing when you've tilted off enough paint. If you don't take off enough paint, it can crack while drying.
6. I would not recommend this technique for new fluid artists, but regardless of your experience level, do not expect a masterpiece on your first try. This takes practice and lots and lots of patience. But I believe you can do it!
Unfortunately, my camera angle was off when I started the pour, so the split cup was not visible while I was pouring. Sorry! So frustrating. But, I have another video that shows the pour in full. I'll get better at this KZitem thing I swear!

Colors:
Amsterdam Neutral Grey
Amsterdam Titanium White w/ DecoArt Satin Enamels White
DecoArt Dazzling Metallics Copper
My pouring medium is equal parts Floetrol, PVA Glue and Gloss Varnish. The paints were mixed 3 parts pouring medium to 1 part paint, and then thinned it down with a small amount of water.
