How to SAVE a Fluid Art FAIL using a Blow Dryer / Painting for beginners

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Sometimes it's just not working out. A fairly simple way to save your fluid painting is by blowing out the paint with a blow dryer. The different densities of paints (and ingredients) will intertwine and once settled, effects can happen. It's really fun :)

    What a gorgeous save. Hello blow dryer!!! We all fail at paintings because the paint has a mind of own.

    I am SO glad you chose to post this video and provide feedback on those comments about everything being perfect; being on social media we all too often only see the good bits which in reality probably make up around 30-40% of what’s actually created that never gets posted. Great save and love the finished result Melissa 🥰

One of my favorite parts of this piece is the neutrals that were created in the bottom left corner. Nice to have neutrals and brights and soft pastels all in one painting. You so nailed it. Thanks so much for your continued inspiration. Hope you’re feeling well soon

    Wow I love it, I don't know one artist who hasn't had a fail from time to time, they may not always put it on video but common sense tells you everyone fails from time to time the beauty of it is we learn from it and move forward we don't let it stop us from doing what we love. I think people forget that we are all human and none of us are perfect we miss up at times but it's OK we're human lol. I have had many fails but I don't let it keep me down I learn from it and move on.

    They say, the only way not to fail, is to not try. Picasso was said to have only 10% of paintings that weren’t “failures” I think I’ve got a better percentage to be honest. I always try to remember that. My failures even have become my favs. So what can you do?! Just keep trying, like you said 🌞

    Beautiful.love it. The blend of color is subtle but dynamic too. I tried this type of thinking approach yesterday during a painting session. It failed initially and then let myself be curious about the paint and experiment more. What happens if I do this? I find I learn so much more about paint that way. Thank you for your authenticity and continuing inspiration.

    Hi Mel! Hope you're feeling 100% soon! Thank you for being such a Real person! I don't consider any painting a True Failure unless it's Sooo Bad I scrape it & have No Clue WTF went wrong 🤣 Sometimes, If I let go of what I Wanted it to be & see it for what it is instead, I decide it's actually quite a nice piece. Then try again for what I was going for that time. Lots of love💕💕
