Ocean Shore Acrylic Pouring by Olga Soby

Ocean Shore Acrylic Pouring: Beautiful Texture + Dutch Pour Technique

Welcome to the new Ocean Shore Acrylic Pouring Abstract Art Tutorial. This time, I want to do a tribute to summer and create a really summery ocean shore painting. 

For this pour painting, I really want to capture this energy, the tropical color of the water, and some really sunny shore of the ocean. 

I'm working on a diptych. I have already created a texture. I used a modeling paste by Pebeo to create it, and I mixed it with a little bit of white paint as well. So after I added texture, it dried for about 10 days. 

For the second part of this fluid painting, I want to really create this ocean shore. It's going to be very interesting to work on a diptych, on longer panels. And I have prepared four colors. So white and three shades of turquoise from lightest to darkest. 

The secret message for this abstract painting is "New Beginnings". For this textured ocean artwork, I really don't mind if my paint is going to get over the texture because I'm going to paint over it anyway. But I'll still try to work not to get too close to it. Also, I'm going to create a borderline of white color because I'm going to create a foamy effect in this acrylic painting, so I might as well use it as a border right away. So let's see how such an abstract art idea turns out. And without further ado, let's get started.  

Well, here this ocean shore painting is in its finest beauty. I covered the water part of this mixed-media painting with epoxy resin for a glossy, glass-like finish. I think it works perfectly for ocean-inspired art. Plus, it really makes this iridescent blue-green pop even more. And I love that the shore part of this textured painting, which was created with texture and multiple layers of paint, has a lot more resemblance to the rock texture, and definitely looks more interesting this way. I think there is a great deal to explore about this combination of painting techniques. 

I hope you enjoyed this acrylic painting tutorial, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Happy creating!

Colorfully yours,
Olga Soby
