Transparent layering with an acrylic pour

One of my favorite pouring experiments is to try using paints that a mixed up with different pouring mediums. In this painting I used the DecoArt Matte Pouring Medium (Americana) with the purple and yellow paints, and my normal 70% glue and 30% water medium mixture with the blue and white.

The effect that was made almost looks like there are multiple layers of different transparent paints. The end result is quite mesmerizing.

When doing pours with different kinds of paints, you want to make sure that each of the paints are mixed the same consistency. Anytime the consistencies vary between paints, the thinner paints will run faster than the thicker paints as you tilt the paint surface and cause run makes and uneven lines.
