INFUSING a Split Base! Nature 🌿 Inspired Dutch Pour Abstract Fluid Art Painting Tutorials

This green creation is inspired by nature and I wanted to show how doing a split base can really help the colors pop and your eye moves from the center to the outer edges. Moving the hair dryer in different motions across the piece to create movement when doing a Dutch pour.
