What is “Fluid Media” and what is unique about this medium?
Fluidity is a potent contemporary theme in the way it implies change. As a physical medium, fluid paint can produce some of the most gorgeous effects. Watery tone plumes; it can produce areas with the softest of textures. The edges present in fluid media have an enormous, compelling range. In other words, fluid media produces some painterly vocabulary that cannot be gotten with any other media.
