Post: I have no talent for drawing

I'm a simple emigrant and I have no talent for drawing

But I've always had a desire to create a masterpiece or draw a small picture, or make at least some object of art. And recently I came across a fluid art workshop. Fluid art is a technique in which paints are poured onto a canvas without using brushes or other tools. Just a canvas, paints, and a little water. The workshop was held at the studio heART Lab in Frankfurt; this pleasure costs 45 euros (~3800 rubles). At the master class we were given a medium-sized canvas, an apron, and gloves, and the process began. To my happiness the whole group turned out to be Russian-speaking and everything happened in the native language, which greatly simplified my task. Approximately an hour in we went through the briefing, we diluted the paint with water, mixed the colors with sticks (which, by the way, themselves become such masterpieces that sometimes you want to take them home too), applied the base and approached the most interesting part: the smooth pouring of colors. As the paint is poured, it spreads and turns into magic; after that the canvas still needs to be turned so that there are no empty spots. Although, in reality, at this stage there are no rules left at all: everyone paints as they wish. Therefore fluid art appealed to me and, I think, will suit everyone. This painting is simply impossible to get wrong; you can always say, “That’s exactly what I wanted.” I liked the idea and the technique itself, though it seems expensive. I think I’ll look for special fluid art sets and will periodically “draw” something. And have you ever tried? #frankfurt
