Cannabis and Painting is a magical combination

Yesterday I went to my dispensary and picked up some new cartridges and a new vape pen. I got a couple carts of Pineapple Muffin, which is an indica dominate hybrid strain. It gives a great relaxing and uplifting high.

It is a great strain for a relaxing paint night. So my wife and I got our paints ready and I put on some relaxing Tibetan Singing Bowls songs. The bowls have a nice relaxing sound that is supposed to help with meditation.

The paints are supposed to be black light reactive, so hopefully it all works and glows when the paint is dried.

Now I am not what some would consider an "artist" and I can't paint things that look like anything, but pour painting is how I paint. I try and have a vision of what the painting should look like in the end, but if you have any experience with pour painting, you know that it never ends up that way.

To me, pour painting is all about letting go of the control and trying to guide the paint, but knowing you have no control over the outcome. This is something that is hard for me to do, and another reason I have wanted to paint while on cannabis, because I can finally get in the right state of mind and let go.

The reflection of my light looked pretty cool and reminded me of an avocado. Maybe that is why I wanted to make salsa today.

My goal with this when I started mixing in the different paints was to have a dark background and have a lot of color on top of it, but when I started putting in the white, it started to take over.

The cool thing about pour painting is when the colors mix and layer, they create different cells as they open up. This can create some pretty cool looking effects in the painting.

I have a blow torch somewhere in the house that we got to shoot fire on the painting to help get rid of bubbles and increase the cells, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

So this was my finished product after I was done moving the paint around. Over the next 30 mins or so, the paint continues to move around, so the final painting changes.

My wife has a more thought out and careful approach to her painting.

She wanted more bright colors in hers and didn't use any black.

We thought it started to look like a jelly fish at this point, with the head being in the bottom right corner and the tentacle thingies spreading to the top left.

This is my finished painting. Once the paint dries, then there won't be the reflection of the light in the painting. But I am pretty happy with how it came out. I added some silver and gold glitter in it that reflects light when it is dry.

My wife's painting turned out really cool too. She added a lot of gold glitter in the corners of it.

While there really isn't an actual subject in these types of paintings, I like them because the style can brighten up a room based on the different colors that you use.

Do you have any experience with pour painting? If you do, share your favorite pour paintings in the comments so I can see them. I am looking forward to doing more of these and learning different techniques. Thank you for stopping by, you are awesome!
