Hello Mark. The blues always work very well. Beautiful sea painting. I love the sea eyes created by the cells, the water streams, the darker depths and lighter shallows ❤. This piece deserves a high shine varnish to make all the blues transcendent 😉. Alena

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

you’re right Alena! I need to apply some gloss varnish to this

[@3dlovely]

What a relaxing creation! I could just sit back and stare at it all day. Every time I look at it, I see something else. I definitely have to give it a try. Also, thanks for all the information you always provide. Denise ❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Glad you enjoyed it Denise! Thank you so much ☺️

vous nous avez plongé dans l'océan en plein hiver 😊mais les couleurs de votre océan sont si douces qu'on n'a pas envie de sortir de l'eau...Merci pour cette belle pièce et j'apprécie la technique de l'accessoire de cuisine...Bravo talentueux Mark❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

What a wonder interpretation 💙 Thank you so much ☺️

[@TaslimaMayaArt]

It's gorgeous Mark and I love how relaxing it was to watch ❤ Love the blues intermingling and the subtle cells you got! Happy new year and I hope 2025 has lots of exciting things in store for you!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks so much Linda 🤩

[@debbiem6860]

Absolutely gorgeous 🎉🎉

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you!! 😊

[@lauren9667]

Wow! I could see the some of the colors blending in the cookie cutter - some of the colors you created are stunning. It’s hard to believe it was all blue and some white! I’m glad you left those big beautiful cells. They are a focal point that allow you to perceive the movement around them. I think of serenity when I see this. I’m floating gently on the water. The movement is like sitting in a tube on a lake. I’m not whisked away on a rushing current, but moving slowly, yet steadily on a path known only by nature. As I look into the water, it is a beautiful blue, but not the same color blue. It is impacted by factors like the depth, flora, and how much sun is reaching there. I also see a variety of freshwater friends curiously checking me out - as I do the same. This is a very serene time, but certainly not a boring one! Excellent painting, Mark!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

I always love your commentary Lauren - really appreciate your insight and feedback 💙

[@pamelar3607]

Very Beautiful! I love how the different blues actually made purple & i think I see a greenish look in places. Its an ocean vibe for sure. Great Job Mark.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you! 😊

[@Marie-LouiseArt]

I love this Mark! It’s so refreshing and vibrant! I love the subtlety in the cells. It’s really delicate and beautiful my friend. Happy New Year! ❤🎉❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks so much my lovely friend. 💙 happy new year xx

[@Vanesa-f3v]

I’m new to pouring. I made my first just before Christmas. I made one for each of my 3 granddaughters, 2 for my daughter and 2 for my mother. My husband is in love with the very first one I did so it belongs to him.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Wonderful! Have fun 🤩

Gorgeous piece, Mark. Runnng water wirh bubbles and ice blocks. Very refreshing. This was a lot of fun to watch🖒💖 Have a look at 9:35. That would have been a nice design, too. A wave on white negative space...😉

Thank you 🙂

[@Mickmauldin]

Thx Mark

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

You’re very welcome ☺️

[@carlabeel8997]

Wow 🤩 very oceanic!With all the fires here by me we could use some extra water 💦 I was wondering if you’ve ever put one of the pearl colors in say a ring pour? Do you think layered by darker colors? 🤔

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

It’s in one of the upcoming videos 🙏💙 Hope you’re safe where you are

[@annerenold5753]

So beautiful. Would this work without floterol/ owtrol , just an ordinary pouring medium. I can't use either of the other two. Many thanks. ❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Yes absolutely 👍🏻

[@HellRainGod]

Hello, i knew spiders made silk, but never knew frogs made tape🤣

[@ramonaklassen9280]

Hahaha haha good one

[@Mickmauldin]

Hey Mark, if I want to make my painting shiny after I'm done, which product is good to choose? Thx

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

I always use a spray gloss varnish…. By Winsor and Newton 👍🏻

[@CRicharz]

Nice. Could you please set the canvas down and tilt toward the camera so we can see fully what is going where. Thank you!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you 🙏
