I recently completed two 12 x 24 acrylic pour paintings, using the swipe technique. Several colors of paint are placed on the canvas, and then a damp paper towel or cloth is slowly dragged over the surface.
On this one I layered the paints horizontally, used warm colors with dabs of black and white. See that question mark-shaped line on the left, about 1/3 from the top? That's the bug track: it landed and then crawled around awhile. Trying to remove the bug and the track would have screwed up the whole painting so the hell with it. Mr Bug now lies in state, covered with 3 layers of clear coat gloss. His family and friends can fly by anytime to pay their respects.
The colors were spread vertically on the one below.
I like them both but think the one above is more interesting.
