Tried acrylic pour painting for the very first time.

I hope to get better as I go along and learn more.

Working on small 5x7 budget cradled boards until I learn what I’m doing and then I might try something larger.

I feel with abstract work, more of my spirit or subconscious comes out.

Have you guys tried this technique? It’s really fun.

I think pour paintings are also done with watercolors sometimes, where you block out your whites ahead of time and pour the paint onto the paper.

It reminds me of the psychedelic era in the late 60s.

7. Beautiful!

Art therapy is pretty much all process based, with the presumption that the art form is an autonomous entity wishing to create through us. Great stuff!

9. Pat B Allen was s professor at the School of the Art Inst of Chicago

When I studied Art Therapy there.

She has written some fabulous books about the process:

Art is a Way of Knowing

And

Art is a Spiritual Path.

The 1st one is basically the master of art therapy method.

Enjoy!
