The book has twelve projects, with multiple variations/techniques on many of them. Most of the projects use alcohol inks, resin, or both. Projects include paintings and other wall art, coasters, lampshades, mugs, cheeseboards, vases, and paper marbling. Full color photos and detailed instructions, including materials, make the projects more accessible for even a relative beginner. The resource guide at the back of the book lists many manufacturers and their websites for help in locating the items needed. I am excited to try some of the projects in here and see if I can achieve beautiful results like the samples.

The Ultimate Fluid Pouring & Painting Project Book is a tutorial and inspiration guide for creating paintings and artwork with resin and inks. Due out 12th Nov 2019 from Quarto on their Quarry imprint, it's 144 pages and will be available in paperback format.

An introduction to the media used in the tutorials also covers tools and supplies and represents about 10% of the page content. The author's writing is clear and accessible and easy to understand. The following 12 chapters contain a wide variety of tutorials for art projects, from resin disks (coasters, magnets, etc), to collage, a stunning vase, and resin coated cheeseboards.

The tutorials themselves are logically formatted and easy to follow. Tools and supplies are listed in a sidebar section, along with a description, step-by-step instructions and clear photos. The photography is very high quality and supports the tutorials well.

This would be a good choice for adults or well supervised (very) small groups of students well supervised and directed. There are safety and toxicity concerns with most of the supplies used in these projects and that should be taken into consideration with regard to studio space ventilation, fire hazard, etc.

Really lovely and appealing projects, well documented. The book also includes a troubleshooting guide/FAQ and an abbreviated resource links list. The supplies can be challenging to source locally, however, everything is readily available online.

Four stars.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book is bright and vibrant and full of amazing fluid pouring and painting projects using alcohol inks. I found the instructions to be easy to follow and the amount of information given is easy to understand.
I've been wanting to try fluid pouring and painting for ages after seeing some amazing art pieces on instagram using this method. I'm really excited about giving this a try after reading this book and hope one day I can move forward onto some of the more complex projects in this book.

I have had a lowkey interest in fluid painting for years now and thought that I was fairly knowledgeable on the subject but this book proved to me that I was wrong. I had no idea how versatile this art form really is, and the author opened my eyes to so many types of projects that I had never considered or even imagined. Incredibly inspiring and filled with a series of vibrant photographs to illustrate techniques.

Thank you to NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy of this book. I received this in exchange for my honest review. I have been keeping my eye on this popular new art form. It looks very interesting and I am eager to try it. This book was very helpful and made me really want to get going on this new trend. I love how well it was broken down: what materials you needed, different project ideas and how to complete them.

Fluid pouring and resin pouring are both diy crafts I have wanted to try since the first time I saw them. The end results look incredibly beautiful and each outcome is completely unique.

The number one rule is to have fun and not worry about perfection. The number two rule is to use the proper materials. This book was so helpful in learning techniques and what tools and materials are required.

So many great diy ideas that can be done by anyone at any level beginner or professional.

Wow this book is amazing. I love all the resin based projects especially the vase. I would love to have a go. The results are brilliant, and it is not as time consuming as some other methods. I really like the agate coasters too. The projects can be completed within a reasonable time frame so anyone can have a go. The only downside is some of the materials are quite expensive. If you wanted to re-vamp your home you can get some brilliant unique and creative ideas from this book, and colour coordinate them to suit your space and style. I want this book as a coffee table fixture. Dipping into it, browsing and mulling will inspire me with all sorts of ideas. Brilliant book - thank you

This book is gorgeous -- full of great information and beautiful projects. I've been wanting to do fluid pouring and to learn to use alcohol inks for a while now because the colors are so vibrant and it seems so fun. This book gives step-by-step instructions for some simple projects and some very complicated ones. I'm not sure how likely I am to actually try it since the materials seem expensive and it doesn't seem very child friendly (I generally do my crafting with my young, teen and grown kids). You need to use gloves and have lots of ventilation for some projects, for instance. It doesn't seem very environmentally friendly or pocketbook friendly.

I love the looks of it, but I may try to do something different with some more natural materials with my kids, using the projects for inspiration. For those who want to try these mediums, this is a fantastic book to get you going.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

This book is everything I hoped it would be and more! Full of stunningly beautiful photographs and projects, this is a very easy to follow and inspirational guide book!

The Ultimate Fluid Pouring & Painting Project Book by Jane Monteith is a very timely book of a popular craft. I've seen some paint pouring instruction books before, and this one includes new ideas that I hadn't seen before. I love the idea of incorporating resin into the project and making vases that are quite beautiful.

I would recommend this book to any crafter who is looking for some new projects to try! It's full of great ideas, step by step directions and full color photos of the whole process.
