I do however find the acrylic paint pours to be just amazing.  It actually looked like something I might be able to do.  Not sayin&#8217; that it doesn&#8217;t take talent.  It absolutely does,  I just love the look of them.  It lets me play in a creative way, that I&#8217;ve never done before.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all started with videos showing up on my social media feeds.  I loved the look!!!  I in my usual fashion googled it,  read up on it, watch videos, read blogs, and considered a class, but decided against that since I didn&#8217;t want to have anyone tell me to not do it however the mood struck me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was in a hobby shop looking for some rocks for a bee waterer.  I couldn&#8217;t help myself, I walked through the painting supplies.  I saw an acrylic pour intro kit.  OMG!  Best part.  It was on sale for a serious discount!!!  Score!!!  So I bought it, bought some canvas, and my rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It only took me another week before I got around to trying it out.  I did four attempts outside. Just to see if it was something I could get into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is my first attempt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-16.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"893\" height=\"883\" src=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-16.png 893w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-16-300x297.png 300w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-16-768x759.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not quite what I was envisioning when I started but it&#8217;s still kind of cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My second one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"790\" src=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-1024x790.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-1024x790.png 1024w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18-768x592.png 768w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-18.png 1132w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I did two more with that kit.  It was a great deal of fun and it was relaxing.  Something that I need more of in my life.  It was safe to say I was hooked.  It was a few more months before I ordered more paints, canvas, and supplies to take another crack at it.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve tried a few more techniques since than.  Below are a few of my Favorites so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-19.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"809\" src=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-19-1024x809.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-19-1024x809.png 1024w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-19-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-19-768x607.png 768w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-19.png 1078w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-20.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"884\" src=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-20-1024x884.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-20-1024x884.png 1024w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-20-300x259.png 300w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-20-768x663.png 768w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-20.png 1027w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-21.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"548\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-21.png 548w, https:\/\/diomederacing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-21-231x300.png 231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t consider my self to be an artist in any way, shape, or form.
