What you will need

A Canvas - I used a 18” x 24” Canvas as I wanted a pretty large wave. You can use anything rectangular. You can try the first one on a 10x12 inch canvas.

Colours: Any brand of acrylic colours - I used Liquitex Artist Colours.

1. Titanium White
2. Cobalt Blue or Pythalo Blue for the dark
3. Teal or Manganese Blue for the light
All other shades will be created once they mix with white :)

Pouring Medium

1. Floetrol or Liquitex Pouring Medium or Golden GAC

Silicone Oil

1. Any treadmill Oil which has silicone oil mentioned in the label or use the Brand Spot On available on Amazon. Alternately you can use the Coconut Serum Milk by Organix - again available on Amazon:


For pouring - A few disposable hard plastic cups, a dozen popsickle/ice-cream sticks a kitchen scale for weighing unless you want a trial and error approach, a flat spatula or any hard plastic for flipping the cups, a butane torch, lots of tissue and disposable gloves if you are allergic to paints.

Mix the pouring medium with equal amount of paint and then add water slowly checking the consistency. It should be like honey and make a sllight puddle when dropped from a height of 4-5 inches - not too thick , neither too thin. Mix a drop of silicone oil at the end and stir 2-3 times only.

Use a plastic sheet to place the canvas and you can keep it raised by using anything so as the surface is level and steady.

Spread the white thinly, evenly and remove bubbles. Pour each cups and glide them gently across the white - allowing it to mix a bit. use colours directly in the end to make shades. Use the stick to design the path correctly.

After you finish dry the artwork normally - never in the sun or below a fan - the paint is multi layer and it should dry evenly. Allow 2-3 days and then touch to see if its completely dry. Finsh with Clear Gloss Varnish Spray or brush over 3-4 coats. I am sure you can make this :)
