An upcoming community event for the West Nassau Historical Society was the motivation for doing some train images, and trying the subject in poured style seemed fun. Paper, paper, paper--makes all the difference in the outcome!

This demo by Linda Baker should help with understanding the process. It's complicated...A detailed drawing is gradually masked off in stages, beginning with the lightest values, and the masking is followed by pouring red, yellow and blue liquid mixtures over the work surface allowing the paint to mix naturally. Excess paint is poured off and the piece allowed to dry completely before the next darkest value is masked off, and the process is repeated until desired depth of value is achieved. The masking is then peeled away and any fine details are done with traditional brush techniques. It's a surprising and quite unpredictable process, a bit tedious (a painting can take anywhere from 3-6 days), but it has been terrifically rewarding and has resulted in some of my favorite pieces.
