Why I do what I do!
When I was first exposed to fluid art, I was mesmerized. They were these huge magical masterpieces & I knew someday I would have to experiment with this painting technique. As I gazed upon these abstract marvels they felt so metamorphic, I envisioned myself creating colorful flowing landscapes.
At the time I was a watercolorist busy painting whimsical off the wall watercolors & traveling to art festivals, so learning something new had to wait. When free time arrived, I researched, studied & discovered what I was hoping for; formulas & techniques. Now videos on how to are just a click away, but back when I started people were very secretive with their formulas & techniques.
So I gathered what I needed & I began to pour & pour some more. It took untold hours of messy experimenting but eventually after sloshing gallons of colorful paint across canvases I began to see the results I was craving.
The landscape concept was next. I figured pouring two separate areas using different colors would achieve this & an added tree would give it definition. In my mind a lone tree represents strength, tenacity & determination to survive. When I see a lone tree, I want to sit beneath it’s boughs & ponder it’s history while enjoying it’s shade & view of the world.
As I was learning how to controll the uncontrollable, I figured out how to pour seascapes, mountains, waterfalls, eruptions & Wicked Kitties. I learned the possibilities are endless.
How do I do what I do? Well…
I mix the desired colors of acrylic paint I want to use in individual cups adding water, latex paint conditioner & sometimes some silicone. My measurements are not precise, just a little of this & a little of that. Once they’re thoroughly mixed I pour them all together in one cup & without stirring I pour the paint onto the canvas. When it’s all on the canvas, I stretch the paint across the surface & watch the magic happen. I’ll repeat this several times with different color combinations to create what I’m looking for. Next, it dries for a couple of days before I seal it with a clear coat to brighten & protect it. Then it’s ready to go to it’s forever home.
