Painting with Fire

Painting with fire is like making art with flames. You know how fire can change colors when you light a match or a candle? Well, some special artists use that to their advantage and make really cool paintings.

They start by pouring some special liquids, like alcohol or gasoline, onto a surface like wood or metal. Then they light the liquid on fire and let it burn for a moment. As the flames dance around and fade away, they leave behind cool patterns and colors.

The artist then takes a tool, like a stick or a brush, and uses the leftover flames to make more designs on the surface. It's almost like using fire like a paintbrush!

The end result is a super unique piece of art that you can hang on your wall. It's kind of like magic, but really it's just science and art mixed together to make something amazing.
