I love Fluid Art Co.! If you've never shopped with them before, Fluid Art Co supplies This Little Piggy and Stuck Up Piggy pigments, Aussie Floetrol, Amsterdam paints, TriArt, Pebeo and much more. They are on the cutting edge of everything Fluid Art and they have the BEST customer service!

I 'rescue' any paint that gets spun or tilted off by scraping it off of the table, straining it and saving it to use as a base coat for future pours. Very little waste!

Love the quirky little cells, the colors and the ridges of clouds next to that beautiful green. Awesomeness!! 💚

[lindakirton]

It's very unique, Nate! Interesting that pearls can still be achieved with those pouring medium ingredients.

Fantastic painting Nate. So many different perspectives to play with. I instantly saw an abstract body of a rectangular /square guitar. The gorgeous green sorta circle in the center of the painting looks like the sound hole of the guitar. The beautiful little white pearl in middle of the hole is so lovely and looks like a real pearl! Love the white space orientation at top of the painting with white on the sides running down. Painting is different and intriguing and so abstract the imagination has a blast. Like the position you displayed it in as well. Anyway, love that color deep green sheen next to the bright blue. Also love the cascade of forming cells falling into more crisp cells and all kinds of little cells. What a fun painting and conversation piece. The green gives it a depth and pulls the eye deep within.

The smokey green and the composition really make this a great pearl pour! I've been studying your jellyfish pearl pours. I want to paint a dapple grey horse using the pearls to imitate the "star" like spots in their coats. In a couple of days, I'm going to start experimenting. 😊🐎🐎🪼🐎🐎

I had no idea how this would turn out but WOW! I agree, it looks very different depending on the orientation.

Love this!!! Im with you....I like the pearls that develop first as well....the absolutely do add dimension! On a side note...ive never done a pearl pour on purpose lol ...maybe its time...😅

[suecallahan]

Really cool! I think you could keep more of the green on the edges if you add some flow extender or just more green along the edges before you tilt.

[karl-friedrichjagau]

Wow absolutely stunning organic pearl pouring. Excellent artwork Nate 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️🙂

[janicemunson]

Really cool technique! Pretty colors! What is your ratio for the satin enamel in the white mixture?

[janebrownell]

Lovely. Doesn't Costa Rica have any home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowes? Or any hardware stores that sell paint? They should all have floetrol. Good luck with that.
