🩷 Quadruple Ring Pour: Beyond the Ribbon — Art That Fights for the Village 🩷
We are incredibly excited to share our latest and most meaningful abstract piece yet: the "Quadruple Ring Pour." This painting was created as part of a worldwide collaboration, "Beyond the Ribbon," spearheaded by the amazing Ms. Donna, a pillar of the YouTube art community who blends her passion for art with a fierce dedication to charity.
This collaboration is much bigger than us. It's about raising awareness and essential funds for breast cancer survivors and thrivers globally. We were honored to join Ms. Donna and the other talented artists she included in this effort to create art with a purpose.
The Meaning: It Takes a Village
Our core belief, which drove the design of this piece, is simple: it takes a village to get through tough times. While you can face challenges alone, doing it together is always better.
This philosophy inspired the unique "Quadruple Ring Pour" technique (an expansion of the classic "Kiss Technique"):
The Four Cups: Represent the vital village of support—medical professionals, family, friends, and charities—all working together.
The Center Heart: Symbolizes the core of the fight: love, connection, and unity.
The Final Piece: The outcome was exactly what we hoped for: a mixture of distinguished sections and areas that blend beautifully together. This perfectly reflects the community, where different groups support the cause in unique ways, ultimately merging into one solid force.
The Method: A Colorful Act of Unity
The "Kiss Technique" typically involves two sides meeting. To truly represent the "village," we had to level up the difficulty!
The challenge was to execute four simultaneous Ring Pours—each cup carefully stacked with colors—and ensure they all met precisely over the central heart drawn on the canvas.
The Challenge: The hardest part was the timing—making sure all four cups are poured exactly at the same moment to create the unique, gorgeous pattern.
The Palette: We chose a variety of pinks to create contrast, but further enhanced the depth by adding complementary colors like rich purples and shimmering gold. The metallic pigments (like Rose Gold and 24 Karat) were essential for creating that reflective, vibrant shift that truly makes the piece pop.
The Mission: Supporting Our Local Fighters
We decided that all proceeds from the sale of this artwork would go directly to a deserving local charity. We chose Carolina Breast Friends (The Pink House), a fantastic organization located right here in Charlotte, North Carolina, that supports survivors and thrivers in our area.
