a close up of a yellow and blue background

This experimental painting features flowing yellow paint, across a background of blue, with blue-green fractal patterns emerging as the colors come together. As the paints began to dry, I took this closeup. The technique I use to create this kind of paint texture is called “fluid art,” and it relies on mixing a variety of mediums into acrylic paints to influence how they interact. I’ll use materials like glue, isopropyl alcohol, liquid silicone, and a butane torch.
