The shallow pour multi colour layer test

I’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.
