Here are my Keys to Success for a Wing Pour:

1. Consistency of your paint is VERY important with this technique - and it's a little counter-intuitive. You would think that you want your paints as thick as you can get it... but it's actually better to thin them down a bit. It should still leave a mound on a mound when drizzled off of your stir stick, but the mound should disappear fairly quickly. We want the paint to flow easily without rolling over itself, but that fold that happens when you pour is what creates the 'feathers' so don't thin too much! It might take some practice to get the consistency right - at least it did for me!
2. Layering the Split Cup: The middle chamber should be the same color as your base coat. This will enable you to leave negative space and really show off the wing shape. The two outer chambers can be layered with different colors. If your paints are the right consistency, they will layer without blending too much. But the order you layer is important too - the first color in the cup will be the last to come out, so it will make up the base of your wings. The middle color(s) will be the center of the wings and the top color(s) will be the outside edge of the wings.
3. If you are using a transparent color as a base, make sure you paint your sides and edges!
4. Tilt of as much of the base coat as possible! You want a wet surface so the pour will flow easily, but the tilting is minimal and you don't want any excess paint that can complicate the drying process. What you want is a smooth glassy surface, with no lumps or wrinkles that can distort the wings as you tilt them out.
5. The Tilt: Ok, so, this is the hardest part. Normally, I focus on tilting to cover the corners. For ring pours, flip cups, straight pours... really, any other pour that I can think of. For a wing pour, you CANNOT tilt towards the corners without completely warping the shape. So you have to change how you think and tilt towards the sides. The struggle is real. Take your time and go slooooooowly towards each edge. The weight of your paint creates a little wave - if you allow it to go over the edge, the poured paints will follow. So the trick is to get that wave right up to the edge, and then tilt it back the other direction quickly before it goes over. Tilt the long sides first, then tilt towards the wing tips, and finish by tilting off the messy bit at the bottom. This is another difficulty - knowing when you've tilted off enough paint. You want a recognizable wing shape, but if you leave too much paint on the canvas it can crack while drying.
6. I would not recommend this technique for new fluid artists, but regardless of your experience level, do not expect a masterpiece on your first try. This takes practice and lots and lots of patience. But I believe you can do it!
