Acrylic lining is an abstract art technique different from a traditional painting technique. It is based on mixing acrylic paints with a liquid medium (latex resin) and silicone, pouring the paint mixture onto a canvas or surface while creating swirls and abstract designs.
At the end of the creative process, a surreal and dreamy background is obtained, something reminiscent of a landscape painting viewed from above or a cosmic space. The work is recommended for children and adults, even without experience in painting.
