I&#8217;ve enjoyed doing simple patterns for some time, but since discovering <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/24wXeU4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">high flow liquid acrylic paints<\/a>, it&#8217;s gone to a new level.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on tiny works of art has become an essential part of my daily art and creative self-care practice. Once I start making dots, it&#8217;s hard to stop. Making dots has become a meditative activity for me. I can tune into the staccato\u00a0of the pen hitting the page, the sound of my breathing, and the colors and images emerging\u00a0before me.<\/p>\n<p>Take for example, the image below. I chose\u00a0a painted circle with a nice sense of movement and some interesting shapes. Using a\u00a0white gel pen, and without any plan or pre-conceived notions, I began making dots, some big, some small. I let my intuition guide me, and after a while, I saw a penguin emerge at the bottom of the page.\u00a0Art surprises are the best, aren&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Penguin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7031\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Penguin.jpg\" alt=\"simple art technique i can't stop doing, fluid art\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What I love about simple art techniques like dots is that they make art accessible to everyone. In\u00a0my new class, <a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/fluid-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fluid Art<\/a>, we use high flow paints to make tiny paintings with organic washes of color. We then develop these into mini masterpieces using simple patterns like dots, lines, and circles. Whether or not you take the class, there are some principles that\u00a0I hope you try out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dot-Scape.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7032\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Dot-Scape.jpg\" alt=\"Simple Art Technique I Can't Stop Doing, fluid art\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Simple Art Techniques:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Keep it simple:<\/strong> Make dots, lines, circles, or triangles, and repeat them to make patterns.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work small:<\/strong> I like to keep my small art work 4 &#8211; 5 inches or less.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create with abandon:<\/strong> I frequently get the best results when I pretend I don&#8217;t care what my art looks like.\u00a0When I try too hard I get stuck.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Let it flow:<\/strong> Use fluid art materials that take advantage of the natural properties of water and let them work their magic. Consider watercolors, alcohol inks, or high flow liquid acrylics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I&#8217;m having a great time mixing and matching all the mini masterpieces I produce. Below is a pic from what I call my &#8220;percolation station.&#8221; <strong>I keep some of these little pieces on my table and then\u00a0play with putting them together in different combinations.<\/strong> It&#8217;s kind of like an art game. I play frequently throughout the day. If you work at a desk in an office, these are tiny enough to bring to work and keep to the side, ready to provide you with a mental break when you need one.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/fluid-art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fluid Art<\/a> is on available now!
