Today I am using two colors that will be blown into each other for a base color and will then be puddling blues on top that look a bit like the evil eye! But trust me, this is a free-flowing fluid art design that will have you hooked especially when you add in the finger swipes to connect the puddles within the piece we are creating.
Thank you for being here today. Welcome to all newbies and a big welcome back to those of you who already know me and my work. Great to have you here with me.
