Hi Susan! Unfortunately, Amy no longer uses acrylic paint, so that class is retired. We are so sorry about this. She mostly uses watercolors now, and if you’re interested, you may enjoy this class: https://mindfulartstudio.com/shop/magic-mist/

We’re so glad you enjoyed this! And great question, Amy doesn’t use a stencil but instead creates a bunch of dots in different ways. She always suggests following where your creativity leads you!

Looks to me you’ve also found a stencil of various dots. Yes? It would be such a time saver. Where did you get it? What is the name of the stencil? Thanks. I too love making small works of art. Thanks for sharing.

HI Devyani! I used to use high flow acrylics, now I use watercolors, yes. And typically I love to let this kind of thing just evolve organically – making marks as I go once the paint is dry. Happy creating!

Before doing the dots, do you first draw design and then paint the back ground with different water/ acrylic colors?
I love this simple art idea. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I do very tightly structured drawings and have been creating index cards with different media every day during January to try and learn how to be more relaxed and creative (and “fluid”!). I’m excited to learn more about this technique and hopefully it will help develop my spontaneous side alongside the more detailed, controlled work I love to do.

HI Christine:

Oh I’m so happy this technique has piqued your interest. It’s such a fun, portable way to make art. So playful too! Fluid Art is an open enrollment class where you work at your own pace. I’m here if you have any other questions. Cheers XO Amy
