Fluid painting: decorate with a thread
The history and origins of this decorative art are not well known. What is known is that it contains within it two subcategories: acrylic pouring, already mentioned before, and pull paint. Both take advantage of the liquidity of the paint being poured (pour in English means “to pour”) to create the most diverse fantasies. The first uses movable supports (e.g. a wooden panel), which are then tilted after the paint has been applied for highly original creations. The colour is spread all over the support, creating blends between the various shades. The terms liquid paint and fluid art (fluid art) perfectly describes this movement of the paint sliding across the surface, creating stunning visual effects. The second also exploits a thread to be brought towards itself (pull in English means “to pull”), which can be a thread of wool, cotton or a chain, to create images such as flowers or the sea. Decorating with a thread has never been so fun and creative;
