Vibrant + Colorful Rainbow 🌈 Burst 💥- Acrylic Pour Painting

[@terrymccarthy4088]

Such a beautiful work of art. Did you ever decide to embellish the middle, an if so, will you please share a picture? You’ve produced yet another amazing tutorial! My heartfelt gratitude for your guidance and the inspiration you provide through your teaching. 💕 I’ll be saving up so I can subscribe to your class in the near future. Your philosophy of mindfulness and wellbeing intertwined with art and intentionality resonates with me. Your artwork inspires me.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so so much! I really appreciate your kind words and support - if you do go ahead and buy my class use coupon code SAVE20 as that will reduce the cost by $20 - hope that helps. I didn’t embellish this any further as I was lucky to find a buyer as it was

Amazing colours and painting. Thank you Mark for your guidance. For me, there should be some paint in the middle. Maybe some shimmer not to much.

Beautiful piece Mark! I love the rainbow colours!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks so much Amy!

[@sandranaylor536]

Beautiful as always. I like the negative space. Filling it might make it too busy. Right now the black enhances the rainbow colours 👍

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much 😊

[@tonistephic]

I think a few gold swirls of the gold going to the center and meeting would be very nice. Have a great day Mark😊

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

That would be cool - thank you 🙏

Hello Mark, this is beautiful! I love it. How about using a ballon to kiss in the middle of the circle, with all of those beautiful colours you have chosen? I love watching you develop your ideas. See you soon xx

[@brendawashington206]

Love it! The swipe turned out so beautiful with the rainbow colors😁 I was hoping that you maybe would have just used a thin skewer to put a few gold swirls towards the center. I like negative space but just a little something to draw your eye in. Awesome piece😁😘

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you! 😊

[@Bridie27]

Hi Mark, love the colours...as these are the chakra colours if I were to put anything in the middle it would be the 'om' symbol but either way it's gorgeous x

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Great idea! Thanks Kim. 🕉️

[@lanaoconnell2910]

Another amazing piece! I really like the section where you laid the colors in dots close together around the hoop, because the individual swipe had two colors within the swipe. I’m going to try that all the way around the hoop when I give this a go. You’re so awesome I love watching you create!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@melbobmacias]

I love it! Maybe some yellow in the middle, like a sunflower middle but only yellow? and possibly orange and red - like dots?

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you 😊

[@pamelar3607]

I absolutely love the vibrant colors in this one. Gorgeous! I wonder how it would look if u swiped the ring onto the other swipes? 🤷🏼‍♀️just a thought

[@barbaraskinner4924]

I like it as is perhaps a gold plain disc? Llove the concept of this painting. Sorry i haven't been watching lately but i have badly broken my wrist and it's given me the hump as i can't even paint or mix paint with one hand. This has cheeted me up ❤ xxxxx

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

I’m so sorry to hear that Barbara. You take care and thanks so much for your support. You’ll be back painting in no time. Give yourself a break and be kind to yourself. Big hugs x

[@caobita]

Wow, this piece is so rich in colour. I absolutely love it. Not sure if you should add something in the middle. If you do so, I think it should definitely not eat up the whole area of the negative space in the center. But maybe it's better to leave it like it is. Great job like always 🖒💖

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Oh thank you! 😀

[@lorrainecarlson123]

I wonder what it would look like if you swiped the gold inwards? Turned out beautiful.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

I’ll have to try it 👍🏻

[@debraburton8591]

Hi Mark, I absolutely love it! It’s so beautiful, I must try this myself. You could put gems of some kind around the gold edge and colours but it’s really nice on its own so it’s up to you. It will look lovely when it’s varnished. Well done! 🥳

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Great idea! Thank you 🙏

[@bozenabakiera4954]

Hi Marek, I wouldn't do this circle, but she brought out rays from the center or even from another place. I would add colors from there and distribute new ones so as not to make a color stain. I'll try do it. The yellow one can be covered by pulling from the inside. I think so😂

Have fun creating 👍🏻

[@3dlovely]

I love it just the way it is; however, as I was reading the other comments, I was definitely drawn to the idea of a heart in the middle. I am going to agree with the heart. I think that would definitely look great. The question is what color? red? white? gold? Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Hope all is well and please take good care. Love, Denise ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much Denise. I know right? So many options. I can’t wait to share one that I’ve done recently since Berties passing and I just know as a pet lover you will totally get the ideas behind my concept. I’m sharing that one next.

[@jessicalarson3758]

WOW!!! This is one of my FAVS!!!🌈 I think it is PEREFECT as it is Mark!! So happy, bright, and just STUNNING! The one part where you added all the colors together and swiped gave it just the perfect amount of extra interest and the shimmer from the gold in the middle is beautiful!🤩 Yup... I would say that's a wrap on this one and varnish it as it is unless of course you want to add something to the middle! I know with your creative mind you would add something else to the center, make me stick my own foot in my mouth and make it sooo much better! haha!😅If you do decide to add something else, please do a little show of it! I would appreciate it so much!☺ I hope you and Shaun are both welll!🥰 Ty 4 sharing this one! It is gob stopping gorgeous!! I LOVE IT!!🌈 Loving these rainbow paintings for pride month as well!!As always. sending lots of love, hugs and good vibes to you both! xox P.s. 20X20 canvas is my favorite size to work on!;) That black base with these colors work sooo well!!!🤩

[@geneanderson8657]

This is a serious question. Do you use two ply? Or would paper towels cut down work? I’m wondering if paper towels would absorbs too much?

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

3-ply. If you want to use paper towels you can. If you want to reduce absorption on the paper or Towel spray it with water slightly and that reduces absorption of the paint when it connects

[@ogregirl23]

I would probably have blown the gold to center in a few places with a straw or swiped it center with a wiggle to it. Then lift that last ring. Now though .. How well would the paint move if you just put the ring back down and added more paint to do it? Bc that could easily just be done as a series where the center is different.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Great idea. You can always tweak it when the paint is wet 👍🏻
