Discover the popular art of paint pouring with projects for the whole family!

The Grown-Up's Guide series features how-to projects, creative prompts, and crafting activities to inspire hours of messy fun for you and your little ones. Now you can learn the trendy paint pouring technique—and teach your kids to do it too!

Paint pouring, also known as fluid art, uses acrylic paint and a variety of everyday tools to create colorful, abstract art poured on canvases and other surfaces. With this book, prepare to get messy—some techniques require touching or even hitting the paint—but that's half the fun. (Consider doing the projects outside, where it's OK to make a mess!) You'll find: • An introduction to the affordable tools required to pour paint, from cups and canvases to stir sticks, paper, reusable straws, and more • Techniques to familiarize yourself with the pouring process before you start • Color mixing tips • Instructions for finishing paintings with varnish and other materials • Step-by-step projects, easily customizable by color, surface, and skill level—with options for non-canvas surfaces such as coasters, pieces of wood, gift boxes, and more • Tips on how older kids—with the help of their parents, of course—might even learn to use a heat torch to create the cell-like structure typical in fluid art

Kids of all ages will love the tactile experience of pouring paint—and you can participate too, enjoying family togetherness for hours as you learn to create colorful, abstract art together.
