Acrylic Pour with Pastel Colors

Pastel colors are pretty easy to make yourself. It just takes a little bit of color theory and a bit of practice.

For this acrylic pour I started red, blue, and yellow. I added a tinsy bit of the complimentary colors from each (red -- green, blue -- orange, yellow -- purple) to dull the color and then I added white to lighted the value.

From there mix them like a normal acrylic pour. For this dutch pour I used 1 part paint to 2 parts pouring medium (American Floetrol) and then added water to a very thin consistency.

I used a dark blue - Payne's Gray like color as my base so the white heavy pastel colors would really pop off canvas.
