This unique acrylic painting effect is my favorite technique. It utilizes bright acrylic paint colors, water, and plastic wrap.
Before starting, I want to caution you about the messiness of this painting technique. Ensure that you are working in a well-prepared space and wearing appropriate attire.
Please select your preferred colors and directly apply them to your canvas. There is no correct or incorrect method for adding the color. In my rendition, I opted for ultramarine blue on the sides, followed by black and violet adjacent to the blue. In the center, I went with white, mid-yellow, and Indian yellow.
To blend the colors, employ any paintbrush you prefer. Begin using an up-and-down motion, lightly mixing all the colors from the middle and moving outward. Remember to clean your paintbrush in between each color blend to maintain clean blending.
Splash clean water onto the freshly painted canvas surface using an oval brush. Apply some force while splashing the water.
Take a piece of available plastic wrap, crumple it into a ball, then unravel it and place it directly onto the splashed area of the canvas. If necessary, you can use multiple sections of plastic wrap.
The challenging part is now complete, and all that remains is to let it dry for approximately 4-5 hours.
Once completely dry, carefully lift the plastic wrap to reveal the natural and beautiful design created by gravity, water, and acrylic paint.
 You can add designs that complement the abstract composition to enhance the painting. In my artwork, I chose to depict a tree silhouette.
