Did you see the original rainbow starburst swipe painting? It created quite a stir in the groups and I was so delighted to see so many people being inspired to give it a try themselves. Today I am using a much simpler color palette and creating a similar effect in all blues.
As a keen scuba diver, there is almost nothing more beautiful than being in the warm, clear water of the Caribbean, admiring the fish and the coral reef and then looking up towards the rays of sunshine filtering down through the water. In the center, the sunlight looks bright white and the rays filter outwards from the center, though the clear water. As you look up, the water looks lighter in the center and then gradually darkens until it’s a rich deep blue on the outside of your vision. It's magical. I wanted to recreate that image in this pour.
