This abstract of a vase with summer flowers has been done using different types of acrylics. I used a lot of experientation to get the 'flow and cracked' look of the painting'. I began by painting sweeps of colour onto a blank canvas using glitter and metallic acrylic. Then I painted the whole canvas in black acrylic. When the canvas was dry, I mixed different acrylic colours with water and allowed them to run and mix across the canvas. As the flow of colours dried, the glitter/metallic paint under the black 'cracked' the new paint. I repeated the process several time, letting each 'flow' dry first. Lastly I dropped acrylic craft paint onto the canvas, tipping the canvas to get some movement before letting it dry in place. The finished effect gives an idea of a vase full of flowers.
