FUN WITH ACRYLIC PAINTS & MEDIUMS

Wanting to learn different painting styles and techniques, I enrolled in another class teaching abstract art, using acrylic paints.  I also learned a lot by reading books, magazines, going to museums and galleries.

Liquid or Fluid Acrylic Art


About 3 years ago, I saw a video on liquid acrylic art and was fascinated by it. I tried and it was fun, innovative and results were unpredictable.  While pouring paints on canvas, marbleised effects are achieved.  With this technique, there is very little need to use brushes nor palette knives.  Rich, vibrant and smooth layers of colours result in beautiful abstract effects. It is also difficult to copy so each piece is unique. 


To make these abstract paintings more interesting, I embellished with genuine Swarovski crystal elements and/or use other materials for variety, for texture and to make the art pieces unusual or unique. Below is a link to a short video of my abstract art paintings using the liquid art technique.
