Fire art

It has a direct effect on its surroundings, consuming materials and giving heat and light.

Fire artists use various fuels and colorants to achieve desired effects.

In large stationary pieces, propane gas is a popular fuel.

Extra precautions must be taken with liquids because they fall and splash, while gasses usually dissipate.

Some colorants can be dissolved in alcohol or water or other liquids to facilitate their dispersion in the fire.
