How long does Fluid Paint take?

One quick round, then you can leave. We file it under "A minute" — thick oil paint that smears and mixes like the real thing.

Does Fluid Paint work on a phone?

Fluid Paint really wants a mouse and a wide window. It will load on a phone, but the experience is built for desktop.

What kind of site is Fluid Paint?

We list it under Generative Toys — move the mouse, make something you can keep. Pulling a clean brush through two wet colours produces genuine marbling rather than a flat blend of two RGB values.

What Fluid Paint actually is

David Li simulates wet paint on canvas, complete with height, sheen and proper pigment mixing. Loading the brush and dragging leaves ridges that catch the light, and running dry mid-stroke thins the line exactly the way a real brush would.
