Acrylic Pouring Paint Art - A First Attempt

I have recently been watching endless YouTube videos of talented artists using acrylic pouring paint to create wonderful abstract artworks. A couple of examples can be found here and here .  We bought some paints from Hobbycraft a while ago, but today I finally got round to trying them out. I did 4 in all, but only 2 were worth sharing. Here they are: I think you'll agree that, for a first attempt, they are not too bad!? We've bought some canvases to go either side of the window above the kitchen sink in our new kitchen, and I plan to paint them using this technique - once I've practiced a bit more, that is :) Lee

And finally Bruce, the kitchen fitter who was.... well..... a little like Lee.
