We discussed in our chat group a possible name for this acrylic pouring technique. Although I am told the correct term for creating one painting from another would be mono-printing, that just doesn't sound pretty enough. Acrylic pouring terms should be more colorful. So I'm deciding to call this one the Butterly Effect.
I had created a matching set of paintings before in this video and since they had come out so nicely, I've been keen to create more. This time, I did not make the best choice of colors. You'll see that later when the painting is dry. But it did look really good when it was wet, and not altogether bad when dry either. I think the rectangular canvases also give this set a bit more interest because they can be displayed in lots of different ways.
