Acrylic Paint Pouring is so much fun, but it can be a little frustrating trying to decide on what colors to use. Our time and resources are valuable, but our art projects should be fun! I love experimenting with color, but I also like to create a quick painting and have the colors already planned out. Selecting colors is just one part of the process. The order that you layer the colors in your cup or pour your colors onto your canvas is also important.
I wanted to share with you some swatch samples with color combinations that I created from some of my paintings that I hope will help and inspire you. These are my favorite five color combinations that I have used several times with great results. I encourage you to try out these color combinations in your techniques and see how they work for you. Feel free to download them or bookmark this page for easy and quick reference. Send me your results so I can see how you did!
Color Combinations and Schemes Volume 1
Trying to decide what color combinations to use can be a challenge, and sometimes I feel like I overthink what to use. When I was first learning how to acrylic paint pour, I had my color wheel out, and I would select my colors by turning the wheel and selecting the different coordinating options.
I felt like the colors were “ok” but lacked something special. That’s when I started to look at the colors in nature. By choosing colors from photos or the outdoors, my paintings started looking and feeling better.
As a special thank you for supporting my website and my art, I have created a free downloadable guide containing the information and color combinations listed above and 18 additional color combinations that I have created from photos and images of our natural world.

I love creating these schemes, and I will be creating more of these free guides. Please subscribe to my mailing list so that you will be notified when the next volume comes out!
