I started a series yesterday titled earth series, due to the first that made me think of this but after finishing this one it really doesn't look like earth, it looks more like sky so I will just call it, Pour Series. I am a little disappointed because it doesn't like it looked before it dried and I think the secret is to let the top pour dry a little before adding the squirt of ink. The red you see in this is red acrylic ink and when I squirted it into the wet pour it was fascinating to see how the threads of red ink spread out like veins of color through the blue and black pour. I am posting two of these. In the first one I added tissue paper for texture but I believe they look better without the texture, except for the granules of sand I sprinkle in, before it dries. They are both acrylic, acrylic ink and pigmented sand on masonite board, 16X16. My intention was to group these as one whole piece, now it depends on what the outcome will be of the two remaining surfaces I have to work with.

These are very innovative! I love how the red glows. I would like to experiment with ink myself...what kind/brand do you use and/or recommend?
I happen to like the texture too! Thank you for visiting.
Thank you cynthia! I bought a Chinese brand of acrylic china ink named Acrilex but I have also used liquid watercolor and the result is also interesting.
You're welcome, these are very lovely! Hmmm, I'll have to try some inks....
