Orange Infinity Acrylic Pouring - Mixed Media Art Tutorial
Welcome to a new Orange Infinity Acrylic Pouring Mixed Media Art Tutorial! This time, I want to create a fluid acrylic painting with a very distinct infinity symbol, and I have the perfect canvas for it; it's long, it's 16 by 40 inches. Not so long ago, I created my interpretation of the infinity symbol with the golden ring embedded in it, and based on multiple requests, in this acrylic pouring lesson, I'm going to go for a more traditional version of the actual infinity symbol.
"Boundlessness" is a secret message for this infinity painting. And for the color palette, I'm changing things up from the previous pour painting, so I want to go for a bit more dark, dreamy color palette for the background, and the flow itself is going to be a little brighter.
So for the base, I want to use Prussian blue. Absolutely love working with this color. The next one is a relative of Prussian blue, so this one is phthalo blue mixed with white and black. Also, I want to warm up my background; I don't want to go for just pure dark blues, so the next one is red-violet.
Also, I want to create some cell reactions in this acrylic pour painting, so I keep adding more colors. The next color is a mix of phthalo blue and cobalt blue. I also want to add just a dash of lighter violet. Let's see how such an abstract art idea turns out. Let's get started:
Acrylic Pouring Recipe Used
Over the years, I’ve fine-tuned my own paint-mixing method to achieve the perfect balance — smooth enough to flow, thick enough to layer, and reliable enough to bring out cells and lacing without any surprises. That’s the recipe I used here, and honestly, I wouldn’t pour without it.
This fluid Infinity painting is now complete. I smoothed out some of the infinity symbol parts a lot when I was touching up the dry acrylic painting. And now, after I corrected the shape and extended some of the lines, this abstract painting has a significantly more 3D look, with the flow moving around.
And because there's a contrast in saturation, size, and value, you can see that one part is closer and another is further away, as it's darker and smaller. I love the 3D look of this abstract acrylic flow painting.
I hope you enjoyed this acrylic painting idea, and I look forward to hearing from you! Happy creating!
Colorfully yours,
