#simplycreate Creative Pouring Art Set
“This pouring kit comes with a warning – it’s completely addictive! Honestly, this is so much fun and what’s great is all the colour & pouring medium come premixed & ready to go. So, no complicated mixes or faffing around – it’s all going to work the first time.
Fluid art is mesmerising, it’s quite mindful, it’s feel-good – everyone can do it & there’s no right or wrong – it’s perfect for beginners!
All the materials are in the kit for 3 different projects, using fluid colour, canvas boards, cups, string, & a palette knife. I promise you, you literally won’t want to stop, so simple but the results are stunning – I love it!” – Jenny Muncaster
Your step by step guide to dirty pour
Colours
Decide which colours you would like to use and pour a little of each colour one by one until the cup is half full.
Two Cups
Repeat the process so you have 2 identical cups of colour.
Design
Moving in a zig zag fashion up and down empty the first half cup on the canvas.
Effects
Repeat this across the other half of the canvas with the second cup of colour to fill the board with paint. If there are a few drips in the cup why not drop them over the artwork to create further effects?
Tilting
Tilt the canvas board to move the paint and watch it fill the board to create swirls of pattern and effect.
Complete
Place artwork on a flat surface and allow it to dry.
How to create a feathers string pour – Your step by step guide
Prepare The Strings
Take 6 lengths of string approx. 30cm in length each.
Group them in pairs lengthways on a piece of scrap paper or recyclable plastic sheet.
Coat The Strings
Using the palette knife coat the pairs of string (approx. halfway) with paint, leaving some string free at the end to grab hold of.
Base Layer
Spread an amount of white paint over your board using the palette knife, enough to cover it evenly. While your base paint is still wet, lay down the string in the centre of the board in a slight curve.
Feather Shape
Gently and slowly pull the string across the board in an upwards direction and slightly to the side to form the first half of your feather shape. As you reach the top pull the string around in a little circle to form the rounded end of the feather.
Second String
Place the second corresponding coloured string on the board adjacent to the first one just laid down and repeat the technique to finish off the feather.
Customise
While the background paint is still wet, create as many feathers as you like.
How to create lillies using pouring – Your step by step guide
Imagine the Outcome
Take the string and wiggle it back and forth on a piece of scrap paper to create a few loops.
Load the Strings
Load the string with different colours to your liking. Use the palette knife to ensure full coverage.
Base
Spread an amount of white paint over your board using the palette knife, enough to cover it evenly.
Start the Design
While your base paint is still wet, lay down the string on the painted surface wiggling it across from top to bottom like a snake.
Pull The String
Gently pull the string towards you in one go, without lifting it.
Customise
While the background paint is still wet, create as many Lillies as you like.
