An introduction to the most popular paint pouring materials on the market that can be used. I shall share my own recipe which is more affordable and gives you the best results. Paint consistency, this makes or breaks a painting so I shall work with you so you feel comfortable with the consistency of your paints ready for pouring. A look at a handful of canvases I use to give you ideas and the opportunity to question me while your creative juices are flowing. Information on how to prepare and finish these canvases. During the workshop you will create 2 of your own small tile pieces (10cm x 10cm) and I will supply suitable boxes to carefully carry your wet work home in. Included are all materials required on the day , gloves, disposable carry boxes and a handout covering key information. You also get a handout of the information covered.
Please note …. This is very much a introduction to the art form of acrylic pouring, you will not leave feeling like an expert and in fact will possibly have more questions than prior to doing the workshop. However….the aim is for you to leave excited and with enough knowledge to be able to go away and start creating some beautiful art.
