Abstract Fluid Acrylic Pouring with ink on Textured Ground - Untitled

I wanted to see how pouring ink over a textured ground would look. I textured the canvas with a painting knife and Matisse Impasto Medium (MM2).
Untitled - poured ink on 12x12x1/2 inch (30x30x1.3cm) stretched canvas textured with painting knife and Matisse Impasto Medium
I used the same technique and ink as my last painting.

Water was sprayed over canvas then artist acrylic Inks (Art Spectrum Pigmented ink (blue, green, turquoise & white) and Daler Rowney FW in (sun-up blue & genesis green) were poured in lines (I wanted the finished work to be portrait and I worked holding the canvas in the landscape position) and tipped from side to side. I kept doing this until I was happy with the look. I also brushed the sides  with a soft brush so the ink runs would mix roughly.
