After a lot of research; YouTube, reading and small experiments, I took a deep breath and started pouring paint. I’d always been frugal using my supplies but, conversely, always wished I could be more expressive. I started with some trial sets of the Pebeo Fantasy paints – it was fun, but very smelly, and not good for my asthma. Then I starting mixing pouring consistencies of acrylic paint in baby food glass jars. This really was exciting stuff for me. A friend saw my first attempt and wanted to see it done in certain colours – orange, grey and brown. She bought the results. A friend of hers saw those paintings and asked for the same in blue and white colours. I produced two, he bought both, but I handed them over with a “no more”. I didn’t want to stick with doing this, I needed to move on, I had so many more experiments to try and a need to find something that would totally engage me.
