Unlocking Creativity with Fluid Art

Fluid art, also known as paint pouring, has taken the art world by storm, captivating artists and hobbyists alike with its mesmerising patterns and vibrant colours. Whether you're an experienced painter or someone looking to try something new, fluid art offers an accessible and enjoyable way to express your creativity.

What Is Fluid Art?

Fluid art is a technique that involves pouring paint, mixed with a medium, onto a surface such as a canvas, tile, or ceramic. The paint flows and interacts in unpredictable ways, creating stunning marbled effects, cells, and patterns. Unlike traditional painting methods, there’s no need for a brush—just gravity, movement, and your imagination.
