Rainbow Acrylic Swipe Painting with a Double Swipe
Bring on the bright colors! It’s been a while since I did a rainbow swipe on a tile so I thought it was about time I did another one, this time on a canvas. I’ll be doing a slightly different layout of the paints and a slightly different swipe technique, in this rainbow colored acrylic pour and swipe painting video.
I fancied doing something just a little different with the swipe today. I’ve done swipes in two directions before, both down and then back again, usually with different swipe colors. Today I’m leaving a much broader area of white paint than I usually work with because I want to selectively swipe just narrow bands of color back up into the white. Not sure until I try if the paint will bleed and feather or not. Let’s try it and see!
Recipe for this project:
All paints were premixed at a ratio of 1:2 Floetrol to paint
Water was added as necessary to get the right pouring consistency
All colors contained silicone oil including the white
Now that is yummy – just my style with the very bright colors and the high contrast. The turquoise was a surprise in this one. I’ve used a cobalt blue in the past, and I wasn’t expecting the turquoise paint to be quite so dominant, but it still worked. This one will go for sale in the Etsy shop soon.
As usual, take a look below at the photos of this painting, both wet and dry, and close ups of the details. Thanks for watching
After being told in high school that she was so bad at art that she should switch to another subject, Deby didn’t paint again for 35 years. Then a stroke released a new wave of creativity and she began exploring with dot painting, abstract and eventually acrylic pouring, and at last the joy of working with color returned. You don’t need ‘talent’ to be an acrylic pouring artist – just enthusiasm, some basic instruction, and a willingness to try, fail and try again. Paint along with her and learn from her many mistakes, and you’ll soon make great art together.

8 Rainbow colors of Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint
1 Round Serving Tray (12″) or 1 12×12 Stretched Canvas or MDF Board coated in gesso or Kilz latex primer
Floetrol (pouring agent)
Treadmill Silicone Lubricant (to create cells)
8 small disposable plastic cups, stirring sticks, disposable work surface
1 large plastic cup
Water
High Gloss Resin
Fill each cup with 2/3’s of Floetrol and a daub of paint in rainbow colors in each cup. Fill a large cup with Floetrol and white paint.
Use a stirring stick to stir in all the colors evenly. Then add 2 drops of silicone lubricant in each cup. Stir in thoroughly. Check the consistency. it should drip like warm honey. If it’s too thick add a couple drops of water at a time.
Place a prepped canvas on top of a cup over a plastic bag or disposable surface. I used a board canvas and as it dried it warped a little. used solid wood boards or stretched canvas.
Pour a bunch of white paint on the canvas.
Spread the paint around with a brush or putty knife.
Pour colored paint in a large plastic cup in a bullseye pattern. I went right in rainbow order, beginning with red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, purple and pink.
Slice a stirring stick through the center of the bullseye in an X shape, that’s it.
Take a deep breath and think happy thoughts.
Then pour the paint out on the canvas. I used a diagonal motion from the bottom corner to the top corner. I love the ribbon-like effect. Then lift the canvas with your hands and tip and tilt the canvas to move the paint around.
Add more white on the corners is needed. I love how it turned out! The vibrant colors and bubbly cells are perfection.
And that little rainbow squiggle is my favorite!
Now the hard part. Let it dry overnight and to the touch. Then place it on a shelf, in a box, out of the way. and let it cure for 3 weeks. The slower it dries the better. if white paint dries too quickly, it has the possibility of cracking. Don’t heat it up. just set it aside and forget it for a while.
After curing the paint is dull and matte. It needs a wonderful coating of resin or varnish. Finish it off with a high gloss effect to bring back the vibrancy of the paint colors.
Let the resin or varnish dry completely.
Then frame, mount or hang on a wall! This is the gold at the end of the rainbow! This is definitely a piece you can do too!
