This Section of Iris Pond Design is dedicated to Liquid Acrylics.
Iris Pond Design represents the convergence of art, science and digital technology. Digital Technology plays significant role in our lives nowadays: our work is done on computers, we communicate via internet and social media, we create art with digital applications and use technology to showcase artwork in digital galleries. Digital Technology offers us, artists, new opportunities and opens new horizons, we just need to use our imaginative power to take our art to the new status quo of CREATIVITY.
Liquid Acrylics techniques do not require paint brushes, instead artists use combs, funnels, hairdryer, and other non-related to art tools. It might seem very simple to pour the paint on the canvas and see what will come out of it. So simple in fact, that kids might do it without much effort. However, the true art starts from the moment you understand which laws of physics & chemistry affect the outcome of the liquid acrylic painting. For example, to reach the effect of the Dutch Pour on the canvas, one would need to increase the temperature, the dirty pour uses surface tension, and the reverse dip – suction forces. Each of the liquid acrylics’ techniques creates a specific pattern on a canvas, the pattern that artist can further enhance with an air blow, brush or stencil, comb or a little air balloon. The options are endless!
