I'm still in the mood to be working with metallics and glitter paints, but because THIS PAINTING (acrylicpouring.com/repairing-repainting-lumpy-negative-space/) turned out so lovely with the bright metallic swipe against the negative space, I'm thinking I would like to try that again. This time with a dirty pour instead of a swipe.
I am going to try to confine my dirty pour to (about) the center third of my canvas using lines of metallic gold, and pour in the middle. I'll use the dirty pour to create striped lines and make sure to get in plenty of shine, sparkle an glitter to contrast with the stark black.

![Purple Acrylic Pouring Swipe with Negative Space [FAIL]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xnHOXPMRMSQ/mqdefault.jpg "Purple Acrylic Pouring Swipe with Negative Space [FAIL]
Yay, its swipe time. But this time I am being much more subtle in my swiping. Its my favorite way to create a painting and I usually go all out and swipe the entire canvas. This time I will be much more controlled and swipe only a small area against a much larger negative space background.
