After watching too many You Tube videos I purchased a lot of canvases and paints (many more than needed!), set up in a disused stable and started throwing paint out of cups.

 

The results were rubbish, but eventually, after about three months, I started to see the results I actually wanted. In the process I learned that ‘paint pouring’ is much more difficult than it looks in videos and acrylic paint is very difficult to remove from clothing and passing small dogs.

​

Now I’m loving experimenting with various techniques and being able to produce paintings that I think can be described as ‘fluid art’. Some of the paintings are embellished by being hand painted, which is time consuming, but the results are very satisfying. I joined Art Is For All in Gravesend at the end of 2023. This means that I now have a studio, a shop to show my work in, and a space for visitors, which opens up many exciting opportunities.
