I received a copy of The Ultimate Fluid Pouring & Painting Project Book through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The Ultimate Fluid Pouring Project Book is a fun and bright introduction to the world of fluid pouring. And that means Jane Monteith (the author and artist behind this unique book) is determined to inspire a whole new generation of artists. This book contains everything you need to get started. There are the basics, which seem like an obvious inclusion, but without which this book would be much less approachable. The more noteworthy parts begin after the basics, however. The Ultimate Fluid Pouring Project Book, is first and foremost, a project book. And that means that there are dozens of unique and new projects to try your hand at. Everything from paint pouring on paper to pouring on to tile is included within these pages. And it’s sure to get your imagination flowing (see what I did there?).
