Pour painting is a fluid art technique that involves pouring paint onto a canvas or other surface to create abstract designs. Artists typically use a mixture of acrylic paints, water, and pouring medium to achieve a smooth consistency. The paint is then poured in various ways, such as directly from the container or using tools like cups or bottles. This method allows for unique patterns and color combinations, as the paint flows and interacts with itself. Pour painting is popular among both beginners and experienced artists due to its spontaneous nature and the surprising results it can produce.
