Let’s create an Ocean Wave Swipe – Mixed Media Abstract Art Tutorial. I and Molly from Molly’s Artistry keep experimenting with acrylic pouring techniques. We keep learning from each other, teaching each other tips and tricks, and we’re up for a new painting challenge. We have a wheel with all kinds of fluid art techniques, and Molly will spin the wheel and pick a technique for me. 

And I got the wave swipe technique. That would be an interesting and exciting abstract art experiment! I’ll use a 16×20 inches canvas. My secret message for this pour painting is “Florida Joy”. For the wave swipe, I’ve got some spatulas. And for my sky part, I want to try something new.

I have to say I absolutely love how this wave painting turned out. First of all, I’m in love with the way my sky turned out. It was definitely a good idea to add the gold and to create beautiful sunshine in the sky, and all the movements definitely worked amazing. Also once the acrylic paint was dry, I did a few minor touch-ups on my wave. I added some gold just on the surface as a reflection of that sunlight in my waves. And I think this way, this sea-inspired pour painting is definitely a lot more cohesive and you can see how beautiful it shines. I hope you enjoyed the process and looking forward to hearing from you! Happy creating!
