Fluid Art is a liquid acrylic painting technique. This type of abstract painting is based on drawing with acrylic paint, which gives the liquid a flowing texture. Liquid acrylic of different colors is alternately or simultaneously poured on the canvas, where the colors mix and form an abstract pattern. Depending on the choice of colors and additives, different unique effects are created each time.
What is Fluid Art?
Fluid Art is one of the most popular forms of contemporary art. This relatively new art form originates in the United States and is finding new followers around the world every day.
Here are the reasons:
Great for beginners. You don’t have to have drawing skills or experience with colors to work with Fluid Art. Anyone can practice this hobby for fun and get results in the form of beautiful paintings.
Does not require a large number of tools and materials.
Not time consuming. Half an hour is enough to draw a picture with liquid acrylic.
There are no limits to creativity and imagination. Acrylic filling is, first of all, a very creative and entertaining process. It is incredibly exciting to mix different acrylic colors and see how a real work of art is created with your own hands. The variety of techniques provides a huge field for creativity – with Fluid Art you will definitely not be bored.
Art therapy. Fluid Art is a perfect example of painting as well as meditation. Pouring colors, mixing, layering, even color flow naturally promotes meditation. Art and meditation do the same thing: they calm the mind and body in a healthy, positive way.
How does Fluid Art work?
The main components of Fluid Art are acrylic paints and thinners. KolerPark paints FluidArt are ready to use (do not mix with thinners). You can add KolerPark to the silicone mix to create cells, cells that mimic bubbles or holes, and a variety of metals, spangles, pots, crack solutions, and more.
Then pour the paint mixture on the canvas and gently tilt it in different directions to mix the colors and form a pattern. The image will depend on the application technique and your imagination. As a result, you will create a unique work of art that cannot be accurately reproduced. Fluid Art provides unlimited possibilities for imagination: color combinations, different additives and fillers, and, of course, different techniques.
Acrylic molding technique
There are many different techniques of liquid art, but first we recommend learning the three main techniques – Puddle Pour, Dirty Pour and Flip Cup.
Pouring a puddle
Filling with puddles is a fairly simple method of pouring liquid acrylic. The paint of one color is poured on the canvas in the form of a smooth, beautiful puddle. The first color forms the base, in the center of which a slightly smaller amount of another color is applied. The puddles are arranged one above the other.
Mix each paint with thinner or water in a separate glass, mix with a wooden spatula. Pour the first color on the canvas to form a smooth puddle. Place other colors in the center of the puddle so that the puddles fit together. The canvas can be completely covered with small, even puddles. Or you can apply a couple of large puddles and then tilt the canvas in different directions and help the acrylic fill the entire surface of the painting.
Dirty Pour or dirty pouring technique
According to technology, paints of different color shades are poured into one common glass, mixed and poured on the canvas in one motion.
Mix each paint with a thinner or water in a separate cup, mix well. To create a cellular effect, add a few drops of silicone oil. Transfer all the colors to one glass and mix with a wooden stick. Pour the contents of the glass into the center of the canvas and tilt in different directions, spread the paint over the surface.
Flip Cup or inverted glass technique
In the inverted glass technique, the paints of different color shades are poured into a common large glass and slowly poured onto the canvas by inversion.
Mix each paint with water or thinner in a separate glass. If you want to get cells, add 2-3 drops of silicone oil. Pour the paints in layers in a common container, do not mix them. Place the canvas face down on the glass so that the glass is in the center of the canvas, pressing the glass against the canvas, gently invert the canvas with the glass and wait for all the paint to drain. Slowly raise the glass so that the paint flows completely out of the glass. The canvas should be tilted at different angles so that the liquid acrylic fills the entire surface and forms a pattern.
