The Two-for-One Project: Tree Ring Pour on a Vase

Have You ever wanted to create a stunning piece of art that combines both a vase and a canvas? Well, today is your lucky day because we have a two-for-one project that is sure to impress. The request was for something in purples, greens, and silvers, and we have just the technique to bring these colors to life - the tree ring pour.

To begin, we will be using Gen Crafts premium pre-mixed acrylic paints. These paints offer excellent coverage and flow, making them perfect for this project. Start by coating the vase with a layer of white paint to ensure a smooth base. Then, Gather your mixed media paints and layer them in a cup.

Next comes the fun part - pouring the paints onto the vase. Slowly pour the paints around the edges of the vase to create a tree ring effect. The colors of periwinkle, verdigris green, silver, and violet will flow together, creating a beautiful spring-inspired palette. For an extra touch of shimmer, add some fairy spit to the mix. Don't worry, it's not actually spit; it's a shimmery paint that adds a touch of magic to your artwork.

Once you've poured the paints onto the vase, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the excess paint to drip off onto the canvas below. You can use your finger to gently push the paint off the sides of the vase, ensuring a clean and polished look. Once most of the dripping has subsided, transfer the vase to a rack to finish drying.

Now, onto the canvas. Press down on the center of the canvas to make the remaining paint sink in and spread across the surface. Then, carefully tilt the canvas corner to corner, ensuring that you don't lose too much of the design. Use a shower cap on your cake turner to protect it from any paint smudges.

To eliminate any air bubbles, use a torch to lightly heat the surface of the artwork. This will cause any bubbles to pop, leaving behind a smooth and professional finish. Once satisfied with the colors and design, let your artwork dry completely.

In conclusion, this two-for-one project combining a tree ring pour on a vase and a tilted canvas is a creative and unique way to explore the world of acrylic pouring. The vibrant colors and flowing Patterns are sure to impress anyone who sees them. So, let your imagination run wild and create a masterpiece that will brighten up any space. Happy pouring!
