Instructions
The How-to-Fluid-Art Guide is one example of how I show my concise writing skills. Artists who wish to explore their creativity in the comfort of their own home can do so by following this guide. I provide adult beginner artists with techniques and examples to create fluid art. Through this work, I’ve identified a specific public and guided them with clearly defined objectives.
Introduction
This instruction guide will help you learn how to make your very own unique acrylic-paint pour. Users will learn how to implement color theory, pouring techniques and use advanced tools. This guide will teach you how to apply fluid acrylic paint mixed with a medium to create waves of paint on your canvas.
Artists around the globe use these simple methods to create unique fluid art pieces.
To create the most unique pour and take full advantage of the paint and the color wheel, follow these instructions step by step to build your skill set.
Technical Ability
Similar to painting with brushes and paint, some familiarity with acrylic paint is helpful but not needed. This instruction guide is for beginner adult-artists.
Time
This will take beginner artists approximately 60 minutes. As you grow more familiar with the setup and paint mixing it should only take about 45 minutes to complete three or four pours.
Motivation
Acrylic paint pours are flexible, unique and therapeutic. By following these instructions, you can effectively pour the paint mixtures and create a fluid art piece fit for a Queen or a King.
Second Module Prep the Canvas
Step 1. Pick a canvas and place it on the old baking sheet in the center of your tarp.
Step 2. Drop approximately 2 Ounces of Gesso onto the canvas and spread to each corner creating an even layer of Gesso. This is the primer for the paint, and though not necessary it creates a more finished glossy look for the final product.
Step 3. Grab a bowl filled with warm water and place it on the most available side of the baking sheet.
Step 4. Have a roll of paper towels at the ready for any unintended messes.
