If you’re faint hearted or inclined to be a wuss, this is your cue to go and lie down.
For the fearless Paint Warriors … throw down some large sheets of plastic and get ready to puddle, drip, pour, ooze.
Acrylic paints are versatile and easy to use. This technique is one that allows gravity to move paint across your canvas. Liberating, messy, fun – and no brush required!
Here are three tips to get you started :
* Use a Colour Wheel to help you decide on your colours prior to starting and then.
* In order to allow your pants to flow freely, prime your canvas or buy one that has a tight weave.
* Using less water will make your paints heavier and “slower” – which may be easier if this is your first time trying this.

Your blog is inspiring and beckons motivation to ‘go after my personal vision’ – express my creativity in a new medium of color to admire …..Painting like a Warrior, not a Wuss!
