New technique! ninja swipe / puddle pour/acrylic pour

[@vickismith8917]

So Gorgeous, Sarah. It reminds me of an exotic orchid. A Simple yet brilliant new technique of manipulating a puddle pour. Way to go!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you ☺️

[@fluidarts1061]

Vicki Smith I was thinking the same thing. An exotic orchid.

[@glendacarlson7107]

Yes, an exotic orchid. I have been watching videos all week long and I keep coming back to this one because it is so beautiful, so I am on my way to purchase what I need to do this one as my first acrylic pour.

[@photographerjonathan]

I see many pouring videos where most of what happens is accidental, and sometimes someone gets lucky and it looks interesting, but what I enjoyed about this video were the extra details showing me that you are an actual artist.

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you very much!

[@cosmicsquirrel7642]

I really love your hand touches. Great to see the originality happening.

[@SarahMackArt]

Cosmic squirrel thank you so much ☺️

[@melaniebuerkle3203]

This painting is gorgeous!! I see a modern representation of a bridal bouquet and veil!!! Breath taking!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕊️✌️😀😃😄😁🤗

[@miriamperez8444]

Absolutely beautiful... adding your extra touches was amazing .. thank you for sharing your wonderful and beautiful inspiration...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕

[@santannahowdyshell7930]

Why would anyone thumbs down this unless out of pure jealousy. This is beyond beautiful and makes my soul happy to look at. Nice job keep up the great work.

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you so much

[@heatherfoster4154]

Santanna Howdyshell. I agree. Its like that comment about Sarah not being able to teach blah blah. Some people are just so rude. Sarah Mac you have taught me so much in just a couple of videos.

[@74poipoigirl]

Reminds me of a jellyfish, the kind you only find in the depths of the ocean but ca'nt believe that its so beautiful.

[@SarahMackArt]

74poipoigirl thank you!

[@jacquelinegardner364]

I absolutely adore the heavenly jellyfish!!! The colors are popping against the black background! Beautiful!!!

[@SarahMackArt]

Jacqueline Gardner thank you!!! Background color is actually Payne’s grey I mixed it up this time 😊

[@sranyak]

Stunning one of the best I’ve seen yet, I would call the “Mack Swipe” why not.

[@boop7313]

so perfect lol. love it

[@tianagoltz3798]

Stunning! Deep sea creature/ woman/ skull.... every angle is something different. Elegant and powerful at the same time.

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@meganharper965]

That’s my favorite payne’s gray. You are killing it with these “ninja swipes”

[@SarahMackArt]

My favorite as well! It’s the perfect shade!❤️ I’m loving my new technique lol

[@susano323]

Wow, this is a masterpiece. I see the resemblance to an orchid but it also reminds me of sea creatures that are transparent where you get to see their organs. It's crazy weird and so beautiful. Your ninja swipe is genius, Sarah.

[@sandrabenner5698]

I thought the same. Jellyfish !

[@kathryncampbell3302]

Beautiful! It almost looks like a unicorn with her head tucked down. 😊

[@SarahMackArt]

I can see that!

[@wendyjones5871]

I absolutely LOVE this!!! Beau composition and color combination!!!

[@bstanevich]

This is such an angelic piece. I hope you name it something other than Ninja Swipe! In honesty, I hated it after the fist swipe and the second. I would have washed the canvas, but you have such an amazing eye and vision. Thank you for sharing. I know that can be hard for an artist. I will never call myself an artist. I am a good copy cat. But watching you is quite an experience for me. I see what colors you use and what techniques and then I go somewhere different. I stop wanting to copy you. I want to make something as beautiful as you in my own way. You are a wonderful teacher and inspiration!

[@SarahMackArt]

Aww thank you 💕 not named Ninja swipe lol just sorta a technique name. Heavenly Jellyfish is it’s name

[@verlenavelinasutton1568]

So beautiful. I just started doing the pours about 3/4 months ago. I had been doing my own technique but I’d never diluted my acrylic paints. Once I started using pouring mediums, I’ve been a pouring fool! I’m having so much fun with my new found techniques, and since I’d been working with different canvas and paper also glass. I’d never used a torch before so I had a teeny bit of trepidation the first time I used my torch from Amazon. After my first torch I’m okay!. I’ve been mixing my acrylic paints by Apple Barrel with a pouring medium also from Apple Barrel. I’ve also used Liquidtex to mix with my paints. But now I’m doing all of my old and new found techniques on glass. I’m WOW’ed and so is my husband.... when I use my matte acrylic paints I add 2 drops of silicon. I absolutely love everything you do. I’m sending you a picture of my latest pour on glass. I don’t have a Michaels where I live but we do have Joanne’s Fabrics and Walmart. Walmart has a pretty decent crafts section. Take care, and keep pouring. Kate, theflutterby🦋, from Seattle 🌈🦋

[@denisechance2796]

Absolutely beautiful! 😍From the view I'm looking at it...it looks like a sleepy pelican with a mouthful of gold nuggets. 😊

[@spgard29]

I see a dog! ;)

[@EmberSteel121]

💚 I see a Viking lady with pink face, white fur stole, blond braids and a long dress & cloak. 10:20

[@mmmagdalene]

This is AWESOME. It has to be my top favorite free acrylic pour painting. It doesn't seem that you waste a lot of paint. Nice. I really like the ninja swipe technique, there is so much depth and organic quality to it. Pretty neat.

[@maurachambers3797]

Wow it looks like a deep water jellyfish...beautiful!!!😃👍🏼

[@vallong6490]

Maura Chambers was going to say the same thing

[@margaretklein9412]

I could watch you do "modifications" or edits all day long. Your tinkering after the pour or swipe is my favorite part! Thank you Sarah.

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@juliahunsinger3070]

Absolutely beautiful, and I see a being in a beautiful robe

[@catrina687]

Something spiritual about that. Those colors are stunning. I love what cha did. ❤

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you so much

[@sapphirenut]

Love it!!! Call him jellysquid!! It’s gorgeous.

[@jjallwood8646]

I have to say, most of the time I feel ‘anyone’ can do these pour pieces however you are a true artist. You create something really specific that I don’t feel that just anyone could do at all. Great work. Very unique.

[@nuna4307]

Beautiful Sarah, love it, can’t wait to try it. Must be the helping sweater 🇨🇦

[@donnamauldin2809]

Absolutely beautiful. Looks like a flower that has just been created. Gorgeous 💞

[@mariagabriele9183]

Stunning. Nice to see an alternative to black as a back ground. Good Job!!

[@SarahMackArt]

Thank you! I didn’t want to go white either. Payne’s gray for the win!

[@cgelmore488]

Amen!

When you reached for the spatula, I yelled, "there she goes!". My husband jumped 😳

[@SarahMackArt]

Hahaha! I hope he is ok! 😂💕

[@BubblyOne]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@beagiver6864]

Now that's a good one. Though your comment is a year ago i still laughed!

[@heatherfoster4154]

Sall Francis Watch the other Ninja swipe video that Sarah did. It was the first time I had seen this technique used and my heart was in my mouth as well. Along with the wicked laugh afterwards and I cannot wait to try this method. It is so so out of the square.

[@annapetryniec3645]

That is gorgeous, it does look like an exotic orchid. Breath taking.

[@helenpadilla5744]

From the angle we are viewing the process it looks like a lady walking with a cape with a high collar flowing out behind her. I love this!

[@cherylwalrath-duran2996]

This is one of my all-time favorite Ninja Swipes! And I still love watching you embellish and detail your paintings. Embellishment is one my all-time favorite things to do in fluid painting. Happy hugs and get well soon, prayers! ~Cheryl and Mark

[@sallyspears1661]

That is one of THE MOST STUNNING pours I've seen!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Truly gorgeous!!!

Thank so very much for your kind words💕💕💕

I think this is your best Ni ja swipe. Has so much character!

[@melodysteinhauser9231]

So beautiful! I like to see artists in the zone creating like you do! Great 'Ninja' swipe!

[@beagiver6864]

Can't take my eyes off this one. I don't think I can say anything more than what's already been said, agree it's Gorgeous!

[@carolinedenhouting4141]

This has to be up there with my favourite Sarah pours! You're killing it! More Sarah swipes please ! ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you

[@karenkelleher989]

Did my first Nija Swipe this morning! It came out....but.....not as beautiful or etheral as yours...! Mine was more like.....Birth of a psychedelic cockroach....but it IS cool! Thank you for sharing. (P.S. I had no Payne's grey, so I made some ;o)

[@SarahMackArt]

Karen Kelleher haha! Your description is hilarious 😂 love it! And so glad you gave it a try!

[@kenrussell1093]

Actually, your psychedelic roach description sounds pretty cool. I'm gonna try my first attempt this morning, hope it goes well😏

[@karenkelleher989]

Good Luck to you, Ken! Maybe you will get a beautiful monkey-cow swinging through a corn field or something! ;D

[@kenrussell1093]

@@karenkelleher989 You may find this a little hard to believe, maybe not, but a lot of my paintings do have a lot of imagery in them. I actually have one of an alien and a woman making love, I have angels and demons, and one which I had never even seen myself until last night, that has, I swear to God, an Anaconda, head and body, with another snake beside it(I swear, I am no devil worshiper!). Maybe I'll get the Virgin Mary out of my Ninja Swipe, who knows :-)

Negative spaces in your work is always beautiful!

[@SarahMackArt]

That’s wonderful to hear!

[@lauriewellman6024]

I Love it, especially from your perspective. I was seeing it oblong with the top being bunny ears At 1st I thought it looked like a crazy nuked insect. Like Woodstock 50 years later. Don't do drugs. kids. but seeing it from your angle it's amazing❤

[@SarahMackArt]

Yes I saw the bunny too when I walked around it! 💕

[@ThestuffthatSaralikes]

Lmao...

[@jdmosaics]

Sarah Mack an amazing result! I am just seeing it now 7 mths on... did it dry well? A wonderful abstract artist I met years ago said... if you see something in your abstract painting... get rid of it or you will alway see it.... composition rules still come into play and are good to know so you can keep them or break them... To anchor an image into the canvas sometimes it is good to have the image going out of the picture plane in at least three edges... even if only a tiny amount... love these colours and the Payne’s Grey (with it’s mix of at least four pigments ) is lovely blue bias choice with the gold! Well done!

[@junerubenstein8966]

To me it’s an exotic orchid. Thank you...such creativity. I’m a watercolorist but I have to try this. 👍🏻❤️

I really like the opportunity this technique affords for more intentionality, composition and originality rather than so much just accidental happenstance. Your directive to the paint really enhanced it. Thanks for sharing. I would like to see the dried, finished painting. Seems like there could be the possibility of some additional post-pour tweeks. Lots of fun and certainly inspiring.

Your touches with the gold really added to it. In the end the puddle area was still there but it no longer looked like a conspicuous bullseye.

Thank you!
