How to do blow painting
This process works the best when using paints that have been thinned down a bit with a pouring agent, like floetrol. It helps them level out when you are done moving the paint. It also helps your paints last a bit longer. Using a large flat rock helps the paint sit on top. If you don’t have any flat stones perhaps trying this airburst technique instead.
Supplies to create these Vertical blow paintings
You can paint these rocks with Floetrol if you want, or you can use what you have on hand as well. As I mentioned above having a large flat white rock works best. You could also do this on a small canvas!
