    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. There are so many beautiful and fun paint pouring techniques. This artwork was created using a "Dirty Pour" method to create a Geode look. This technique is achieved simply by pouring the paint directly onto the substrate. By using a particular color scheme and ornamentations, you can create this stunning geode look. Let's get started! With a pencil, map out faint lines of where to pour your paint in a basic geode shape.
