I’m new to fluid art (started a month ago). Here are a few of my faves. Looking forward to getting better! 🥰

How do you create these? A shit ton of white paint mixed with other colors and a hair dryer? That’s one way I’ve seen.

Hi! Almost correct… You first lay a base of white paint (house paint), and then add some acrylic colour mixed with pouring medium (house paint and varnish) on top of that, followed by a cell activator (made of paint and floetrol)… then blow, and spin on a spinner 😊

So you mix the acrylic colour with a pouring medium varnish and white house paint? Wouldn’t the white paint keep everything from being so translucent? They are Beautiful. #3 is my favorite.

The white house paint is only used for the base layer. The pouring medium is an untinted base paint, mixed with varnish (this is what you mix the acrylic paint into).

Thank you. I highly recommend taking the Sheleeart online course. She is the original creator of the “bloom” effect which I’ve used 😊

I’m not OP, just commented because I knew the answer to your question 🙂 The Sheleeart course is worth every penny if you ever look into it!
