pour painting
Tipped canvas technique
Pour painting is an art technique where fluid acrylic paint is poured directly onto a canvas rather than applied with brushes.
Artists mix paint with pouring medium to achieve the right consistency, then tilt the surface to create flowing patterns, cells, and organic effects.
The results are largely determined by gravity and paint interaction rather than precise brushwork: I made this pour painting last weekend—you never know exactly how it'll turn out.
