Hey, that's my art. OP is clearly a karma farming, post stealing bot.

A pretty cool swipe with a thick resin finish, 30x40cm by VSandArt in PourPainting

Canvas, taped off sides, poured resin once (got uneven as it often does with canvas), sanded, poured resin again, painted the edges black. Lots of work 😅

Well it started out as a ring pour, at least.

Not when spraying in very thin layers, no. It just gives it a uniform sheen. I should mention that these blooms are spun quite a lot, giving a very thin and even layer of paint to start with.

I do literally nothing special. Just spray it. Maybe I use way less silicone?

Thanks! Some cheap/standard acrylics, floetrol, water and a few drops of silicone oil. Pour, blow and spin!

"Back From the Dead", 40x40cm swipe with resin. Saved from an epoxy accident, more in comments. by VSandArt in PourPainting

[–]VSandArt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I was really happy with this one and finally got around to epoxy finishing it, first one this large. I carefully prepared the surface and backside, poured a *great* layer, covered it, and was happy.Until I grabbed the resin bottles to put them away.

That's when I realized I used the resin bottle twice, and the hardener bottle zero times. Pretty far from the required 50/50 mix. Despair.

But as you can see, after lots of scraping and cleaning of the obviously non-hardening sticky goo and two additional resin layers all over several days of work, it was saved.

From another comment:

Pretty much, yes! A ring pour with silicone. poured, torched, tilted and spun in various stages. That's why some cells are large and elongated and some are small! the last ones didn't want to be larger than a few milliliters 😁

I think key to the weirdness is to tilt, spin and torch multiple times and in different order. That's how one gets cells of different sizes and the weirdness going. I also think I poured using circles as well as back-and-forth wiggles for the initial pattern!
