Fluid Art - What Is It ?

Fluid Art is a liquid acrylic painting technique as liquid art. This type of abstract painting is based on drawing with acrylic paint, which gives the fluid a fluid texture. Liquid acrylic of various colors is applied alternately or simultaneously to a canvas where the colors mix and form an abstract pattern. Different unique effects are created each time, depending on the choice of colors and additives.

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 silicone oil to create cells, cells that mimic bubbles or holes, as well as 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 reproduced. Fluid Art provides unlimited possibilities for imagination: color combinations, different additives and fillers, and, of course, different techniques.

There are many different liquid art techniques, but first we recommend learning the three main techniques – Puddle Pour, Dirty Pour and Flip Cup.

Puddle Pour or fill with puddles.

Filling with puddles is a fairly simple method of pouring liquid acrylic. The color of one shade 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 poured. The puddles are arranged one above the other. Mix each color 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 shades are poured into one common glass, mixed and poured on the canvas in one movement. Mix each paint with 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 entire surface.

Flip Cup or inverted glass technique.

In the inverted cup technique, paints of different shades are poured into a large cup and slowly poured onto the canvas while inverting. 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 cup, do not mix them. Place the canvas face down on the cup so that the cup is in the center of the canvas, pressing the cup against the canvas, gently invert the canvas with the cup and wait for all the paint to drain. Slowly raise the cup so that the paint flows completely out of. The canvas has to tilted at different angles so that the liquid acrylic fills the entire surface and forms a pattern.
