This video by artist Steve Shaw demonstrates how much fun it can be to grab whatever paints are left over at the end of the day, dump them in a cup, and see what happens when you flip it over. This is the time to set aside all expectations and break any self-imposed rules you may have. By doing so, you just might end up with your best pour of the day—or ever!

- Silicone by 3in1 (https://amzn.to/3bcSNLv) In the video I mistakenly call it “3in1oil.” It is actually silicone made by the 3in1company.
