FLUID ART POURING

NEXT DATES: TBA

Acrylic pouring is another very popular art technique that looks a lot easier than it actually is. In this 5 hour workshop, I will teach you how to properly mix, pour and work with acrylic paint pouring so that you can create beautiful fluid art cells without the trial and error that is so common when people attempt this style at home.

Abstract Expressionism Series
5 classes in total

Abstract art is an intuitive art form, and often people struggle with over-thinking or allowing the inner critic to block the flow. In this 5-class series, I guide participants through the process of listening to the important messages of the inner critic, while gently nudging it to step back and let the creative juices flow. This series is perfect for anyone who wants to express themselves in a more open and creative way. Perfect for beginners or more advanced painters.
