How I Prep, Mix, & Thin Paint for Fluid Art: A Beginner's Guide (PDF Download)

Start your fluid art journey with confidence.

If you’re new to fluid art, the hardest part isn’t the pouring — it’s the paint.
Every artist online seems to use different ratios, different mediums, and different methods… and no one explains it clearly.

This guide takes away all of that guesswork.

I’m sharing the exact process I use to prep, mix, and thin my paint so it flows smoothly on the canvas — in a way that’s simple, approachable, and beginner-friendly.

Whether you’re brand new or you’ve already played with pouring, this guide will help you skip the frustration and start creating with ease.

 

Inside this 11-page PDF, you’ll learn:

✔ The supplies you actually need

No overwhelm, no complicated tools — just the essentials.

✔ My real paint ratio

The exact 2:1 Floetrol-to-paint mixture I use in my own work.

✔ How to thin your paint the right way

Including how much water to add (and what to look for).

✔ What “too thick,” “too thin,” and “just right” look like

So you can get the perfect flow every time.

✔ My full mixing routine

Step-by-step, from choosing colors to testing consistency.

✔ A complete troubleshooting section

Fix cracking, muddy colors, runny paint, swallowed details, and more.

✔ A gentle, HSP-friendly approach

No harsh instructions. No pressure. Just clear, grounded guidance.

 

🌿 Who this guide is for

  • Complete beginners
  • Anyone confused about ratios
  • Artists struggling with inconsistent results
  • People who just want fluid art to feel easier
  • HSPs and empaths who prefer gentle, supportive learning

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why isn’t my paint working the way I want?” — this guide is for you.

 

💛 Why I created this

When I started painting, mixing my paint was the most confusing part.
This guide is everything I wish I had back then — clear steps, no stress, and answers to the problems nobody talks about.

Fluid art can be calming, grounding, and intuitive… once your paint is mixed correctly.

Let’s make that part simple.
