How to do fluid painting - Easy Technique
In this video I dilute all my acrylic paintings with Liquitex pouring medium and water. I fill the canvas with black paint, then add lines of colors and blow on them. You could use a straw if you would like but I was going for a different effect in this one.
Hope you enjoy!

    Hi my name is Rose, I just started doing the Pouring almost 2 months ago while recovering from life saving open heart surgery . I saw these videos and thought I gotta try this! I discovered I’m good at it! But love these tips and techniques! I love the bright colors on black !I’m gonna try this! I have a canvas this size. I just bought straws! Hoping that works! I love it! And I love the simple is best approach. I may become your #1fan ! Hugs

    You're so right, simple is often best, and this is really striking and very beautiful. I love how dramatic a black background can be. There's also a cute little mouse coming out of the pink smoke on the top left as we're looking at it. :-)

    I've been stuck in a really bad rut for awhile, your video was in my suggestions and I decided to watch, I'm so glad I did! You've inspired me to get back at it and not doubt myself so much! I also have a bunch of videos I've taken but decided not to do anything with them because I don't know much about editing and I'm self conscious! But right now I'm thinking "What the heck, stop thinking about it so hard! Just upload them as is and free up some memory too!" 😁💓
