Let's have some fun with pearls, I will talk you through how I did this so you can have a go yourself. Recipes are below. This is "Gold in the Rocks" from my Gold Fever series, the 1st of many inspired by our beautiful region of Central Otago in the South Island of New Zealand, and Gold Rush which is a favourite program of mine.

I add colour to my mediums until I am happy with them, I don't measure.
Water was added to Pearl colours for consistency.
No water is added to my pour-over colours unless using heavier-bodied paint.
If water is needed I use distilled water, as leftovers keep better.

Just call me Deb, I am addicted to fluid art, and I have been learning my skills since early 2022 after finding @PiecesofTaraArtistry @SaraTaylor @MelyDartist and so many other amazingly generous souls on YouTube, the reaction and movement of the paint fascinates me, I haven't stopped since, and I can't thank them enough for what this has done for me.
This form of creativity tests me, ignites my imagination, and excites my soul.
I have a goal - to help Kiwis and anyone else interested, find their happy place as I have.

Originals and prints are available on my website.
