Collins Does a Weekend Challenge
The shallow pour multi colour layer test
tabletop height
looking straight down without intense illumination
side on with direct illumination to see layers
top down with side on illuminationI’ve done three layers in a cup test now.
First layer (lowest) was a blue ink layer with 2 drops of ink
Second layer (middle) was a aqua layer, with a 2:1 ratio of blue to green as the green is very very vibrant.
Third layer is clear with no ink.
Each layer was attacked with the burner but I must admit to spending much more time on the top layer. I found vibrating the cup (gentle shake and tapping) helped the bubbles get to the top where they were then easy prey for the burner.
I think I will do one layer of green/blue and the others all clear. and that’s based off looking at photos of Mauritius. I know it changes with the weather and that the water in the image I like is grey blue but I want to give the theme of warm sunny climes.
easier to see the layers here
