TONALIST AND REPRESENTATIONAL FINE ART
“Viscosity” Pour Painting
My technique is based on the “simultaneous color printing” method devised by Stanley Hayter (1901-1988) in his etchings and lithographs. Hayter found that oil colors of different consistency not only did not blend, but they repelled each other. I pour oil colors of different viscosities onto a flat panel, and by tilting and manipulating the flow, I can control and create the image.

Wow, I feel the power in your work.
Breathtaking!
I will have to try my hand at this as soon as possible!
Do you think water soluble oils would work?
I’m not sure. Try it, this may be your big breakthrough. If it doesn’t work, you can always blame me.
I shall find out!
& I would only say that I was taught from a master and didn’t follow his advice precisely.
especially like these!
Maurice,
The colours and patterns are amazing. Viscosity I is my favourite.

Excellent pieces.
love these!
Puts a whole new twist on ‘go with the flow’. Beautiful.
Beaytiful!
Beautiful and intriguing! I’d love to see a film of you making these. How do you thin the paints?
The secret in thining is to have the colors mixed in varied dilutions. I use mineral spirits mixed with Liquin (Winsor Newton product) in various proportions as a basic thinner, stirred into the pigment until it is pourable. As long as the proportion of dilution in the different colors remains unequal, the paint will repel adjacent colors. I keep a spray bottle of mineral spirits handy, to break down the repelling action, where needed, to allow the colors to blend. I found that the mixture amounts are not critical, as long as each color has a diferent viscosity. It’s a lot easier to do than explain. Hope this gets you started. Thanks for looking.
Thanks for your generous reply!
Beautiful work, it reminds me of glass prints I used to do in school, love these
Amazing. Its a very interesting technique.
Your work is really beautiful!
Thank you!
Truly Inspiring. The birth of galaxies.
Several of these I was sure were photos of lava when I first looked. Lately I’ve looked into similar pour techniques with watercolor but this is the first I’ve heard of it being done with oil paint. I’ll try this.
aargh I don’t know how to message you as me instead of lovers orchard, which is an entirely different blog site! But wanted to say I really enjoyed your paintings, your landscapes are really my kind of thing!!
