Acrylic Fluid Art: String- and Chain Pull (Video)
Hello, I'm Caroline, an American expat living in Germany. Recently I discovered two new things: acrylic fluid pouring and Steemit. Since both go together like a horse and carriage, I found myself a new hobby!
Please follow me on this platform, as I explore the exciting possibilities of acrylics and post videos of my learning experience on the STEEM. I'm convinced, anybody can enjoy creating art and improve over time by learning from their mistakes. If I can do this, you can!
My plan is, to create a new painting every so often, show what I did in a video, and write down the particulars of colors, mixes, techniques, cost, etc. in the accompanying text.
My hope is, you will fall madly in love with my art, upvote the living daylights out of my posts, and buy the occasional painting off me, so I can buy more paint and become the Energizer bunny of acrylics!
So, thanks for having me, and... Here goes nothing:
Watch this video on carolinepurcell.com
Please note, there will be no bumps, lumps, and odd reflexes on the painting once everything dries properly. The bumpy appearance is due to the uneven onset of the paint drying.
Now, I'm off to find myself a decent banner and avatar for this blog and learn more about how to work this STEEM thingy...
Welcome to Steemit Caroline! It must be a huge difference to leave in Germany when you come from the US. I have moved from Slovakia to Switzerland many years ago and I still feel the difference :)
I'm looking forward to seeing your art and I'm sure I will enjoy it :) Steemit is a great place for artists as there are many people following art here (including me :))
I wish you a lot of fun and friends! Avatar and a banner is a good idea but you could maybe think about joining some discord communities or art contests to build some relationships..
If you need any help, please let me know. I'll be happy to share my knowledge :)
Have a lovely day!
Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm still looking around and reading up on stuff. Discord is on the list.
Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Thanks, I'll have a look at it.
Welcome to Steem! I'd not seen this method of painting before and after watching your video I'm eager to have some time (and working space) to give it a go! There's a strong art community on this platform who post under the #art, #artzone, #painting, & etc. tags and many of people such as myself who are happy to admire your works! 😁 I hope that you have a terrific day.

Hi Caroline, and welcome to the STEEM! That's a neat picture, and you make it look so easy. Always wanted to paint myself, but no talent I'm afraid. Have fun on Steemit and good luck :-)
