18x24" Soft Ripples Original Acrylic Painting with Holigraphic Glitter

In acrylic pouring, "soft ripples" refers to a subtle, wavelike pattern created by the controlled movement of paint across a canvas. Unlike the distinct, hard-edged "cells" often achieved with additives like silicone, soft ripples are characterized by gentle, flowing color transitions that resemble the surface of water. The comb effect is a simple tool used to create straight, parallel lines or swirled, ribbon-like designs or angel wings in the wet paint. By rolling an inflated balloon gently over the paint, the artist can pick up and deposit layers of paint, resulting in soft, wispy, or "feathery" textures. When used together, the comb and balloon roll can create a dynamic and visually complex piece of artwork.
