Watch the paint and your creativity flow!

It’s fun! Watching the paints flow and marble is mesmerising!

It’s creative! You can collage with your mini masterpieces in inventive ways to create unique art journal pages, paintings, and hand made cards.

It’s portable! Working small will help you make art in short bursts of time, which means you’ll make more art.

Using high flow paints, in short art exercises, Fluid Art will open up a fun, accessible way to weave art into your life.

“Amy has created a truly magical art technique that enables all of us to achieve success! Because the artworks that we make are so small, it means the whole process is wonderfully portable… I can keep doodling whenever a short span of time is available. The potential of using fluid acrylics in this way is great fun and the permutations are endless……..the process is really quite addictive!”

– Katie Flowers

“I wanted to tell you that what you are doing with this online workshop is fabulous. All the videos thus far have been wonderfully helpful, your examples are beautiful, and I’m feeling so inspired – my drawing table is full of ‘mini-masterpieces’ and I’m looking forward to being able to take them along with me wherever I go. Thank you in advance for sharing these techniques and reminding me that art is accessible…for anyone.”

– Melinda Downey Schultz

“With my art in the past, I’ve felt not worthy or disappointed in my results. I am having so much fun with the high flow paints. I’m not totally in control so it’s like part of my responsibility is released in a way thats’ really freeing. I’m fascinated with how the different paints repel or sink, float or pull, and then watching them creep, while figuring out what to do …. do I tip it? Or blow, or spray water? It’s just so much fun!!! Who knew?!”
