I would love to see what you guys have been working on! Did you create a custom mixed color after seeing this series? Feel free to tag me on Instagram @newnormaldesigns and show me what you've got! ❤
So I find this info a bit overwhelming so I agree the best way to learn is to have at it & see. That’s the funnest part of fluid art. If Ur gonna be scientific every time u go to create something, it kills the magic in my opinion. Saying that I do have an idea that I think would make excellent content for what u cover & would love to understand what’s happening & see the science behind it explained as I have yet to find any available information. Have u seen the art that became popular lately on TikTok? I’m not someone that cares for the app however in my research it always seems to be where I’ve found the most content. It’s someone either hand drawing or print an image in primary colors. Sometimes multiple lines are stacked of red, green &blue such as a mushroom. I’ve also seen drawings of the Simpsons or animated characters & artist use florescent colors. They will turn off their lights & use a strobing effect from LED lights that change millions of colors. As the lights shift it causes the primary colors or florescent colors to either change another color or maybe cancels out colors used. It creates an illusion as though the artwork/image is moving or melting? I’ve tried to duplicate this & make my own with some success. I tend to overthink the idea until I’m frustrated. I’d like to understand what’s happening exactly so I can stop getting in my own way. I’d like to know is it the colors chosen by the artist, or does that not matter & it’s the flashing RGB led lights creating the effect?
It is a LOT to dive into. Obviously, to see color, you have to have light. The color we end up seeing in a pigment is the only light wavelength that is able to escape. So, red paint looks red because all of the other colors of the spectrum are being absorbed. The red wavelength is the only one that will reflect and be seen by our eyes. This is a line straight from my notes: Light hits object -> Spectrum rays are either absorbed or reflected -> Reflected light enters your eyes -> Cone cells are activated -> Color is translated in the brain. I, surprisingly, have never been on TikTok, so I'm not 100% sure about what you've seen. I would imagine that by changing the color of light showing on the painting, you are changing which colors your eyes can/will interpret in that instance. White light is the combination of all wavelengths. As you add in filters, such as a pigment or even colored films over the light source, you are subtracting wavelengths that can be reflected back to your eyes. Unfortunately, I'm still not an expert on this subject. I am fascinated by how we all interpret color. What I see is probably slightly different from what you see even though we are looking at the exact same thing. It boils down to how our eyes and brain translate the information. To answer your question, though, I would have to go with it being the light changing as opposed to the actual pigments the artist is choosing. Without seeing it myself, I can only give you my best guess. Going by your description, it would lead me to think that the main factor is the shifting of the color of lights changes the way the pigment colors are reflected back to your eyes. I hope that helped clear things up slightly. If you come across a video again, feel free to link to it, and I'll check it out to see if I can get a better understanding of what is occurring! Thanks for watching!
@@NewNormalEclecticDesigns Hopefully that sends what I intended to send. I’m not familiar with linking videos so I just made a screen recording from Etsy where I had bought the image from when I stumbled across it. I figured I’d find inspiration from it & try to recreate my own version of the effect. If it doesn’t work properly I’ll go into my art studio & just record it.

@@NewNormalEclecticDesigns thank u so much, I just sent u it through messenger & u saved my day by sending me the Facebook Cz I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong!! Thank u for all ur help & amazing detailed explanation to help me! I’m a very hands on artist but need to understand the process for my brain to accept the information. Thank u thank u thank u!
I would love to see what you guys have been working on!

Fantastic breakdown of the effects of the different pouring mediums .thank you 😊
