Fluid Art: Basics and Beyond Workshop

Have you ever wanted to create an abstract painting but weren’t sure how to start? If so, fluid art, also called (acrylic) pour painting, flow art, liquid art., etc., might be just what you’re looking for. Fluid art is a form of abstract art that uses acrylic paints with a runny, fluid consistency. The paints react with each other when combined to make interesting and visually organic motifs. As the paints run amok and spill across your canvas, the possibilities are endless. In this workshop, Deana Murchison will show you several different ways to do acrylic pours, including a couple of more advanced options. You’ll practice the techniques, making multiple abstract paintings. You’ll learn how to finish your painting with an acrylic coating. This class is great for people who have never created fluid art, but it also gives “frequent flyers” opportunities to try new pouring methods and continue experimenting with color.
