Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to the eclectic world of Flow Painting, also known as Fluid Art and Acrylic Pouring! Flow Painting can be a therapeutic and rewarding form of art for almost anyone from any background. If you enjoy crafts and DIY projects but have never formally studied Color Theory, Drawing, or Design, don't worry - you CAN do this! Fluid Art is mesmerizing to watch and endlessly entertaining to experiment with, but it can also look deceptively simple to execute. Getting started requires a thorough knowledge of the steps, techniques, and tools involved, but the educational resources and opinions are seemingly endless! This beginner's guide will take you through not only the basics you need to to get started, but all the major points of interest as you advance with your skills and consistency - all while helping you to avoid common pitfalls. From the tools you'll need, to basic layering and pouring techniques, to how to create a professional brand around your Artwork. Everything that follows comes from my own practice, experiments, and personal experiences. Those are based not only on developing my own body of work, but also from teaching Flow Painting Classes and developing my own unique high-quality line of Primal Flow Pre-Mixed Acrylic Pouring Paints. What I've included here is based on what I've found that works for my students and I, regardless of their level of experience or artistic background. One of the most interesting features of Acrylic Pouring is how many ways it can be done - the possibilities are endless! Every artist has their own preferred supplies, tools, and techniques - this book barely scratches the surface - but I believe this detailed overview will give you a solid foundation on which to build your skills. We all have to start somewhere, but my hope is that reading this will get you started on the best foot possible!
