A video of a Fluid Art Swipe & Balloon Smash that went viral on Facebook.

For some reason, the video of this acrylic swipe went viral on Facebook. I had so many questions on what type of paint, what medium, what is on the canvas etc. So I decided to post this video & hopefully it answers a lot of questions.

I cannot give specific recipes in how to mix paints because a lot of what I do, is done by "feel", but a guideline is-equal parts paint and pouring medium & depending on what medium you are using, you may have to thin that down with a bit of water.
I do add 1 or 2 drops of silicone, but never more than that. Silicone is oil and too much will give you an oil slick across the surface of your painting.

The base paint is a very good quality white acrylic paint thinned with water. Again, the desired consistency is that of warm honey or pouring cream. It must flow off your stick in a steady stream.
