There's no doubt, Fluid Art Painting is messy, but whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner, fluid art is definitely fun!

When creating any art, always keep in mind that it's not about the end result; it's about the process and journey.

Fluid Art Painting Activity:

• Gather the materials needed (see diagram)
• Set up your area by protecting the space and yourself from spills, and ensure that everything you need is within easy reach.
• Select the paint colors you want to use and mix them with glue (this is a non-toxic method of creating the cells) in a 1:2 ratio.
• (Optional) Place pushpins on each corner of the back of your canvas (this helps to keep your fingers out of the paint while you're working)
• Layer your paints in a large cup, just as you would for sand art.
• Simply pour your layered paint cup over the canvas. Alternatively, place your canvas face down on top of the layered paint cup and, as you hold them together, flip them right-side up. After waiting a moment or two, lift the paint cup and allow the paint to spread out over the canvas.
• Tilt and rotate your canvas until the paint has covered it, or until you get your desired results.
