    Introduction

    Ive been painting with fluid acrylics for more than two years, and I cannot believe where my journey has taken me. I have learned so many fun and interesting techniques, and I have been able to express myself in ways that I never thought possible.

    Anyone can do this type of art, and with the variety of paints, pouring mediums, and techniques available, you have countless sources of inspiration with which to create your own artwork. This book features beginning to more advanced paint-pouring techniques, and I hope the projects and tutorials inspire you on your own fluid art journey. I have provided suggested supplies and techniques that I enjoy, but this book is not a complete list of techniques or suppliesjust a starting point to help you learn how to start paint pouring. Lets begin!

    Tools & Materials

    Here are the most popular supplies used to create poured art and where to find them.

    PAINTING SURFACES

    CANVAS I use canvas or wood for most of the techniques demonstrated in this book. Canvas can be found online and in any craft store.

    IF YOUR CANVAS SAGS IN THE MIDDLE, SPRITZ THE BACK WITH WATER AND LET IT DRY TO TIGHTEN UP THE CANVAS.

    WOOD In addition to canvas, I also enjoy painting on wood surfaces. I find wood surfaces online, in craft stores, and at home-improvement stores. I like wood surfaces for their sturdiness and the large variety of shapes and sizes that they come in. You can use basic shapes like circles or squares, or find special shapes ranging from holiday-themed pieces to letters and numbers.

    DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE ADDED TO THE PAINT MIXTURE, YOU MAY WANT TO PRIME OR GESSO YOUR WOOD PIECES BEFORE USE TO KEEP THEM FROM WARPING.

    OTHER SURFACES Canvas and wood are just two examples of the surfaces you can use for paint pouring. I also use watercolor or YUPO (waterproof, synthetic) paper to make bookmarks, greeting cards, jewelry, and hair clips, and Ive poured on Christmas ornaments, clay pots, glass vases, and even furniture. So many household items can be used as surfaces for fluid art!

    ONE THING I LOVE ABOUT THIS TECHNIQUE IS THE WIDE VARIETY OF ITEMS THAT YOU CAN PAINT AND DECORATE.

    PAINT

    I use acrylic paints. There are many brands to choose from; you can use whatever is available in your area, at craft stores, and online.

    I LIKE TO USE ACRYLIC PAINTS, BUT OTHER MEDIUMS, INCLUDING ACRYLIC INKS AND GEL STAINS, CAN BE USED AS WELL. A LOT OF MY LEARNING COMES THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR. TRY VARIOUS PAINTS AND MEDIUMS TO SEE HOW THEY TURN OUT.

    Paint tubes and jars feature a lot of useful information. Each brand has its own method or representation of brand name, color name, color swatch, batch number, paint amount, opacity, and lightfastness.

    OPACITY The opacity of a paint determines how much coverage that paint will provide. The more transparent the paint, the less it covers. Each brand labels its paint according to opacity, and you can use this information when choosing colors to use in your paint pouring.

    LIGHTFASTNESS The lightfastness of a paint is a factor in the quality of your finished painting. Lightfast paint will not discolor or fade over time when exposed to light. The purpose of your painting (whether you are painting for fun and practice or a professional piece to sell) will help determine the quality of paint you want to use. If you are practicing, you can use less expensive craft paints or student-grade paints. If you are working on a more professional piece, you may want to use artist-grade paints so that your colors will stay bold and vibrant over time.

    POURING MEDIUMS Pouring mediums which can be found online and in craft stores - photo 11
    POURING MEDIUMS

    Pouring mediums, which can be found online and in craft stores, are added to paint to create a thinner, more fluid paint used for poured artwork. Self-leveling and helpful for creating even coverage on your canvas, they can also reduce the appearance of brushstrokes if you use a paintbrush or palette knife in your work. In addition, they can make the paint take longer to dry, which extends the amount of time you have to work with your fluid art.

    Mixing too much water with your paint can cause the acrylic bonds to break, and over time, your painting may crack or flake, ruining your art. Pouring mediums keep those acrylic bonds intact.

    In this book, I use a variety of pouring mediums so that you can see examples of the available mediums and how each one dries.

    PAINT CONDITIONERS OR PAINT EXTENDERS

    Paint conditioners or paint extenders can be found in home-improvement stores. They are mostly used with house paint, but they can also be added to acrylics to create the right consistency for pouring without breaking the paint bonds. Like pouring mediums, paint extenders help create a smooth, level finish while extending the amount of time you have to work with your paint.
