1. Introduction: Hello, everyone. Welcome to this second tutorial of fluid abstrart. In this tutorial, I will show you another interesting method of making fluid art which is called plpkaPur method. I will show you how to prepare the color how to apply it to the canvas in a right way to create such an amazing abstract card. Let me show you how to make this beautiful piece of art, an interesting abstraart. In this tutorial, every moment is described step by step. Besides, this method requires a lot of color and how to utilize it to do the work. A clear idea has been given. I have made a tutorial before, and this is the second one. So are you enthusiastic about doing abstraart? If so, then this tutorial I have made can be very useful for you. 2. Preparing the Medium: Okay, I will start this tutorial with how you prepare the color by applying the medium. But before that, there are many things to prepare. Meaning, if you are watching this type of video first time, if you are really beginner on this art, then you need to know and keep all the necessary materials required for this art ready for which you need to watch my first tutorial. If you watch son two to lesion nine, then whole idea will be clear. Actually, I did not show the matrials in this tutorial because it is almost the same on every methods of fluid. I have clearly shown everything that is changing from this tutorial. I have given the link of my first tutorial in the description. Please take a look. Now, I'm starting from applying the medium. Okay. So this is our medium that needs to be mixed with color. But I'm not using it in today's painting. Instead, I'm using white glue. I'm using fabcol company glue. It is a synthetic resin adhesive. It is a very common glue in India. This type of white glue is a very common glue which is available in almost all market stores. No matter where you are in the world, just buy such a common white glue from the store and use it for this purpose. I'll pour quite a bit of glue into this plastic glass and dilute the mixture by adding a little water to it. So for now, I'll take this amount and see how much mixture is made. If necessary, I can pour more. Now I'll take water. I'll pour a little water. That's it. Now I'll mix it with the steak. There is a little too much water in the mixture. So I will add a little more glue. This time, its density seems right to me. There is no specific measurement for the measurement of this glue and water. Although two is to one, that is two parts medium, and one part water is taken. But it still depends on how large the surface is to be worked on. However, the less amount of water you take, the better. And by kneading the mixture, you can understand how thick or thin it is. It is better to be in the middle of those two. 3. How to Prepare the Colors: Okay, next step is to put the color into the cups. I started with white color. Filled this hundred Emil cap 50% with color. I'll wash the brush in water and keep it ready for the next color. This time, it is yellow color. I took a little more because I want to use it as a base color. This time, it is light green. Then I'll put a glue medium and mix it with the color. I if the mixture becomes too hard while mixing, I will add a little water, and if it becomes thin, I will add some more medium. I'll wash the stick and put the inter medium into it because lace medium has been prepared. So I again poured quite a bit of glue and prepared the medium. I'll take very little water, exactly half a bottle cap. You'll have to experiment with these to see how much and where it is needed. First, I put it in yellow because there was a little lace here. I'll put the rest in green. The stick has yellow color, stuck to it. Wash it, we, and then I'll apply the next color. Now, I'll stir the mixtures and see which one is thicker than the other. Then I will add a little water to it. All three should have roughly the same liquid. In this case, the white seems a little thicker than the other. So I spray a little water. I added half a bottle cap of water again. A I finally checked everything. The liquidity of all of them is almost the same. Now I'll arrange quite a bit of yollow in an extra cap. I will add this color along with the total color to make it flow on my 12 by 12 inch canvas that I have Stay tuned to see how I'll do that. In the meantime, I'll apply medium. Well, I will apply it directly. It can be done like this too. That's all. Now I'll mix it. Okay. The mixture has become quite thick. So now I will add water. I just added half a bottle cap to dilute it. The more you experiment, the clearer it will be for you to decide how much more or less water to add. So all the colors are ready. O. 4. Layering Your Colors: Now I'll pour the colours step by step into this plastic glass. First, I'll pot the white color. I want to keep the lightest color at the end. So when I pour the color on the canvas, the last color will be on the top of everything. Okay, this is how I'll pour the paint onto the glass. Notice this. The next color is yellow. I'll pour it little by little, not all at once. Now green. I repeated white again. This time, too, after pouring quite a bit, I lift the rest. Again, yellow. I'll pour green again. So in this way, I'll pour the color that is almost 80% of my hundred Emil cap part by part. And it will create a selling pattern in the glass like this. Now, it is a little difficult. My white colour is finished. So I need to make some more. I will add medium. Y y Okay, Dan, the colour arrangement is ready. Now you put the cups aside and prepare the canvas. U. 5. Technique to Apply the Paint: First, I'll bring three such equal colored bottles and make a base on the table and place the canvas on it. Now, I'll put my rubber gloves. I'll take a glass of color in my hand. Now it is a long everted time. I have to put the colour on the canvas very carefully. In this case, I'll put the glass upside down on the canvas at full force, just like this. I want to create this texture in a different way. So this is the method. It is called the flip cup method. So when I open this glass, all the color will come out at a very strong force and so that it can spread it around more beautifully. I'll spray some more yellow color around it in this way. No Now, I'll open it. I'll break the pattern a little, just like this. I'll keep rotating the canvas in this way. Now, we add some more yellow color to these white areas so that it's flow is very good. Keep watching what I'm doing. I have to tilt all the sides and even the edges of the canvas to fill them with color. No. Okay, I have a problem in this case. The color has become so hard that it doesn't reach the end. Even though I used a lot of extra yollowclur, the colour doesn't reach all places. I have to shake it a lot. To avoid this problem, I had to reduce the amount of medium I applied to the color at first. Then the fluidity would have increased a lot. Now, I'll touch some incomplete places on the side with my fingers and fill it up with colour. G. So it is complete. Now we'll collect all the extra color in the glass. I do not want to waste any of the remaining color. First the color of the hand, then the color of the table. Well, I will collect the extra colour from the bottom of the canvas with my fingers and put it in the glass. Now I have to dry it well. After it dries, you can understand what the ultimate result is. Now some important things. There are a lot of colors on the gloves, clean them, and then hold the canvas. Then shipped. I wash my hands as well as I can in my water container mug, spray plastic on one side of my floor and ship it there to dry. Now I'll collect the remaining colors. I'll collect the colors in this color glass with my fingers. Now, I'll spray a little water and collect again. Finally, I'll wipe the entire area with a cloth. 6. Dried Result & Other Improvisation: So, friends, my canvas has completely dried. Look at the beautiful effects that have formed. It took almost two days to completely dry. Even the sides of the canvas has developed really nice effects. Now, let's see what happened inside. The green, yellow combination has sprayed all around. The white color effect has been created very little, a little here and there. It has been scattered very lightly to create an effect. And the green colour has taken up a lot of space in the entire painting. But I applied more yellow color. So this is the nature of each color. There is no way to understand in advance which one will spread more and which one will spread less. Now, the effect that has been created in the entire area, the color balance, this is that in the side. In many places, the subject is quite chaotic. The colors have been arranged quite differently from each other. But on the opposite side of the painting, the colors are very nicely balanced with each other. Then this lo area here has been created in a way that I don't like to see. This is the thing the artist has to decide which parts he likes and which parts he doesn't observational skills will give priority to this. Now after looking at the painting for a while and thinking about it, I decided to make corrections in some places. I still have some of the yollow color that I made, so I decided to match it with this yellow color of this painting and paint the inter dia yellow. Let's see how much can be done. As I do that, I will understand how much idea to paint yellow. I will fill this white line with color. I will apply more and more color so that the bottom layer will be filled much faster. I have to feel the sides of the canvas evenly as well. I'm thinking of coding this light blue colour here. I think it is disturbing. After it dries a little, I'm applying the next layer. Now come to this side of the canvas. I will increase this lo portion. I'm thinking of covering this exact area. I'll keep applying the yellow colour until the bottom colour is cobhet. So by painting like this many times, a pure yollow colour came out. So see what the concept is. I'll rotate the canvas a little. I have filled every corner with color. Here it seems that this green flow has started from some unknown place and gone to some other unknown source. A flow has been created in the canvas. I have created this shape by removing the unwanted areas, an abstract shape that you can think of different things by looking at it. This is an inner fillings. You can also establish this by rotating the painting. The yo on the outside is also scattered inside. As a result, there is a very good color balance. So the texture that is created after pouring color in this canvas, how much to keep or how much to remove or whether the texture that was created in the first time can be maintained. That depends on your observation. Only then will a good abstract painting be created from it. The larger you do this, same thing on a surface, the more beautiful the result will be. Friends, how did you like this tutorial? I hope I was able to give you an idea of abstract painting in fluid technique. So keep practicing like this. I had made a tutorial before. Also see how I did fluid art in another method there, and be sure to let me know how much this tutorial inspired you and helped you learn. So this tutorial is over. See you next time. Thank you.
