Welcome to the new Cascade Gradient Pour Abstract Art Video Tutorial. Let’s explore a new way to create gradient pour painting. In all my previous gradient pours I have applied the base paint on my panel and then I would add colors with a gradient in one flow. This time I will change things up. I want to have actually the whole side of the panel with gradient colors and another part is going to be just solid color and negative space. 

Of course, I will share my details as I go with acrylic pouring. I work on the 16 by 20 cradled wood panel. “Cascade flow” is a secret message for this pour painting. Also, I want to have sort of a wavy movement in my flow. One part is going to be this dark color, and on the other part, I want to have colors of the gradient. 

Red-Violet  
Oriental Violet 
Blue-Violet  
Ultramarine  
Turquoise Blue 

Alright, this fluid painting is all dry. I covered it with a layer of epoxy resin, and there are two main things that I would like to mention about this abstract pour painting. So, first is – Oh, my God! I love it! And the second thing is that I am totally going to do the whole series of abstract paintings in this style. Of course, with different color palettes. And I am naming it a “Vibrant Overflow”. I think it really suits the overall feel and energy of this type of acrylic pour painting. The whole color palette is super intense, there is a lot of contrast, a lot of vibrant and really bright colors. The overflow, really powerful overflow of colors, the gradient, the cascade it all makes this flow painting really amazing. I hope you enjoyed the process and looking forward to hearing from you! Happy creating!
