SQUEEGEE Pour Painting! Simple and Fun - Northern Lights Style! Abstract Acrylic Art Techniques

[@lauren9667]

I was a little dubious about how this would look like the northern lights; I thought it would be “blocky”. Nope, wrong again, Lauren. The technique was intriguing and after the first swipe I knew you were onto something. I had to keep reminding myself that the canvas was flat. The colors were gorgeous, they blended beautifully and depth of each color constantly changed. I looked up what causes the northern lights and you mimicked with your hands, paints, and squeegee what actually happens in the upper atmosphere! You did it again, Mark. Your ability to bring a thought or feeling alive on the canvas is a gift. Thank you for sharing it.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much Lauren! Yay! I’m happy you enjoyed this. Thank you again 🤩

[@marciahershkowitz4823]

Wow! The first swipe looks like people, northern light haze or rain! And the top looks folded, 3D. Interesting to paint on the tape.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you very much! I’m so happy you saw that as that’s what I could see too!! 💚

[@3dlovely]

I love how your creation turned out. Who would think that a squeegee could make such a beautiful piece? Only you! It is fabulous. I must try. Denise ❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much Denise! I appreciate your kind words 💚

[@tonistephic]

Good morning, Mark Yes, this definitely looks like the northern lights. We have been lucky to see the northern lights here in Indiana several times this year. Thank you for your new ideas. So when I am healed I can go back to painting. Have a wonderful day, Mark, and see you on your next video.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much. Hope you’re continuing to heal 💚🙏💚

[@caobita]

How precious it is after the second layer! I love how the dried paint shimmers. Very beautiful northern lights indeed. But it also looks like a cat behind a curtain. I absolutely love this series and would be happy to see them all together once you've finished the last one 🖒💖

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much! I will definitely take a picture of them all together 💚

[@caobita]

@MarkJRatcliffeArt thank you. I am looking forward to seeing it 💚

[@cjbarash3819]

Love this! I have seen the Northern Lights several times while attending university in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Amazing memories, thank you ❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Glad you enjoyed it! And great memories hey. 💚

[@pamelar3607]

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

You are so welcome!

[@ManonPetitArt]

Oh Yes Mark , you have really captured the essence of the northern lights. I'm always fascinated by the blue violet. I always dries so beautifully. I got to admit that it fits right in the northern lights series . This piece has a lot of depth too. Great job Mark. Hugzzzz to you and have a wonderful week-end with Shaun 🥰🥰😘😘❤❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Aww thank you so much my beautiful friend. Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend 👋

[@Lwah0812]

This is the 4 of the series I’ve watched and this is my favorite. This is what I was thinking about when I watched the first one, called Did I do the right thing? I was wishing they were wavy. I am yearning to give it a try, hopefully soon.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks so much I appreciate your support

[@sarahannsgalaxy]

This is gorgeous! I will be trying this out.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Yay! Thank you 🤩

Bonjour Mark, 🥰 Aujourd'hui, j'ai dû écouter ton vidéo en deux étapes. Mon énergie a changé subitement et je voulais l'écouter avec un coeur heureux.😉❤ J'aime beaucoup cette oeuvre avec un squeegee. 🎉 Les reflets, le mouvement et la transparence dans ce tableau est vraiment unique et magnifique. Je crois que c'est ce qui se raproche le plus de ce que j'ai vu dans le ciel jusqu'à maintenant. 😃💚💜💗 Excellente idée à nouveau cher Mark !! 🥰 Tu as une toile derrière toi que nous n'avons pas vu en vidéo. 😄 Tu te dévoiles un peu question de nous garder sur la hâte de voir le vidéo et la toile au complet.😄❤💜💚💜💚🎉 Ah oui j'oubliais... j'ai vu un nombre sur ta toile. Vers la fin tu la bouge et on voit un beau reflet vert iridescent avec le chiffre 16 inscrit en gros caractère. Il est très clair. 🤔 Il n'est pas là pour rien... Bien sur comme je suis curieuse, je suis allée voir la signification du nombre 16 et je te partage sa signification. 🥰 En numérologie, le nombre angélique 16 est souvent considéré comme un nombre karmique représentant la croissance personnelle, la force intérieure et le voyage vers la découverte de soi . On pense que le nombre 16 signifie la présence de conseils et de protection divine, guidant les individus vers le but de leur vie. (On dirait qu'ils ont écrit ça pour moi!! 😂 Mais le texte s'applique à tous ceux qui liront ceci. Donc toi Mark qui a créer cette oeuvre. 😉) Le chiffre 16 est aussi un sept (1+6=7) en numérologie. Le nombre divin. Il représente l'esprit, l'introspection et la sagesse spirituelle ou la lumière. Et bien sur la chance. 😇 Peut-être que certaines choses te parleront dans ces chiffres. 🤭 Bon week-end sweet Mark ! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Wow this is sooo interesting. Thank you so much Caroline to take time to share this with me. I feel so lucky. Thank you 🤩

[@gerripeter484]

There’s turned out very cool and beautiful and I saw someone do something like this by making little dots then dragging the squeegee through it and I bought a squeegee to try, but haven’t gotten to it yet. Thanks for showing us.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thanks so much 😊

[@saidabouayoub9952]

Dans les ménages la raclette est synonyme de corvée😊Aussi la raclette fromage est un délice à table😋Pour Mark cet accessoire fait jaillir des lumières sur un canevas....Bonne idée....Bravo Mark❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you 🙏

[@marylinegodart4177]

Bonjour Mark, très joli, je te pique l'idée avec d'autres couleurs et je t'envoie le résultat 😉💋

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Ok merci 😊

[@mossydreamz]

this looks so trippy, almost like a glitch effect O___O

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you 🤩

[@bernaettemcarthur900]

At first didn’t like it but the final swipe looks fantastic

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you 🤩

[@rositakahan5978]

It’ beautiful, different… congratulations. How you mixed the colors with water?

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you. Check out the description for ratios but literally mixed in a cup

[@lindamckendree2991]

What a great fun swipe, Mark!! Very cool! I’ll definitely give this a try. Does it make much difference if you swipe toward you as opposed to swiping to the side? I know the canvas orientation would be different but aside from that. Thanks so much! Great job!!💜💚🩷

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you Linda, no not really just whichever way is easier for you 💚🤩

[@mehtapakkok4670]

Bende mutlaka denerim👍💚💗

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

[@HellRainGod]

Try same again but in different paint order, after seeing yours, i would have, purple green let dry, yellow pink!!!

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Sounds good! Have fun 🤩

[@heathers9599]

Hi from Australia. Did you varnish the finished artwork?

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Hi 👋 No not yet, it’s too cold and damp here at the moment to varnish so I will early next year
