Surf's up! At first thought the colors were going to muddy. But no! You pulled it off again! Bravo!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Yes! Thank you! 🌊🙏😊

[@karenstrong8887]

I love it because it is an abstract wave. We don’t see a lot Pearl waves. It makes a statement. Then there is the part of me that has spent my life on or under waves that wanted you to use white Pearl where it is crashing. Crystal clear water with white foam on white sand has really been my whole life. My house faces a beach and almost all of my homes have. If we haven’t been on one we could see it and I can get those waves with a camera. I live in the tropics so everyday is a beach day now we have retired. I could live with a Pearl wave on my wall and I just finished a painting using these paints. They are fun. Thank you.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much Karen 🌊🙏😊

[@adoptforlove]

Wow. Those colors really pop when it dries.

[@MaddyT54321]

Oh Mark 👏👏👏👏👏 yessssss this is gorgeous. I was very interested to see how it would turn out using both the colours and a palette knife rather than blowing it out. . It is just stunning. You should be proud of what you've created ❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so so much Maddy 🌊🙏😊

[@rebeccabarnes3324]

Mark, this is stunning ! I’m very happy that you did this, it was a bold decision to try it with pearlescent colors. Congratulations on your success !!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks so much Rebecca, that means a lot 🙏🌊😊

[@rebeccabarnes3324]

@@MarkJRatcliffeArt I have to say I have watched several artists pour waves in many different ways and colors. This one is very special. Molly of Molly’s Artistry is one who has experimented with color, including a rainbow tie dye look. I have always enjoyed watching her create them. You took a very creative step in using pearlescent paints and not only is it beautiful, it is soft and flows very well !Congratulations 🎉

You should! It will be so much fun 🤩

[@3dlovely]

Mark -- your creation is gorgeous. I was wondering how the swiping would work, but it really made the colors merge wonderfully. I also like how large this piece is. It is going to be a definite focal point in some lucky person's room. Take good care. Denise ❤

OMG Mark. Really??!! I agree with you, this is my favorite of your paintings (until the next one)!! That settles it, I am going to buy some of these paints. They are not only fun, but once the colors develop, they are the prettiest colors! They are like Polaroid paints🤣 Love love love this one!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much 😀 Love the idea of Polaroid paints - now wouldn’t that be amazing!!

[@shmales7023]

Gorgeous! Was thinking Prussian blue wou;d be a good base color as well, but i really love the black here. Makes it feel kinda moody. Love it!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you - I also love Prussian Blue. You need very dark Color’s on the base for The pearlescent paints to “work”. If you did Prussian blue I’d suggest mixing a very tiny bit of black in with it to make it more Opaque so The light can bounce off the base and through the paints 👍🏻
