    Mark from a distance it does resemble a sea horse, but when you gave us that close up as your were moving the camera down it reminded of me of fresh sea water flowing threw lava after it had cooled some, bringing life back to a land that was burnt. The gold being the last bit of hot lava, this is marvelous no matter what anyone sees it as. I guess that is how art is. I want to thankyou for reminding me art is to be fun, relaxing and a tool to help us unwind. You are quite a artist and should be very proud of this creation. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your time and talent with us.

    Stunningly beautiful, I'm just about to dip my toe into the world of acrylic pouring so am a little nervous on mixing ratios but this is a great inspiration. I bought a bunch of Amsterdam acrylic paints so I take it they are a good brand if you are using them 👍

    • @MarkJRatcliffeArt
      @MarkJRatcliffeArt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks so much Paul. Yes Amsterdam are great paints and have a great binder so can be watered down without breaking up. Aim for initially one part paint to 0.75 part water and then you can always add a bit more water if you’re doing a more fluid technique like Dutch Pour. Have fun and I hope you enjoy it. Huge warning though…. It gets very addictive haha

    • @MarkJRatcliffeArt
      @MarkJRatcliffeArt  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Flashpg so pouring medium is a liquid you add to your paint to allow it to flow and become more fluid. People use a range of medium and also make their own. I did do a video on how you can make your own when starting out to help get a feel for techniques. People have various ratios but if you use pouring medium I’d start with 1 part paint to 3 parts pouring medium (some people go to 4 parts). Water can be added to make it very fluid (but don’t over water as you’ll break the binders in your paint and it will break up and split).

    Hey Mark, it really looks very much like a sea horse, but I also see all types of faces everywhere. The colours look "cool and fresh", but are not cold because you used some gold. It's like fresh running water in the sun. The details are stunning. I even saw a small black heart. It's a very beautiful piece and I can imagine that such a big canvas is quite a challenge. Good job 🖒💖

    Mark, I really like this piece. It seemed like the black base was swallowing up the colors as you blew them out. I have had that problem before so I switched my black to Amsterdam Oxide Black from Artist'sLoft ready flow black. I adore the colors you chose, the blues and gold are gorgeous together. Beautiful painting.

    I’m new to painting. What type of canvas and paint do you use? Love the colors!

    • @MarkJRatcliffeArt
      @MarkJRatcliffeArt  ปีที่แล้ว

      I use triple primed deep edge canvases and use acrylic paints that are watered down to make them fluid in consistency

    Looks fantastic Mark. Do another with the same colours, but with a white background to be hung as a pair. Subscribed, liked, and looking forward to more great art.
