Introduction to Fluid Art

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, and liquid art., 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. Then, you’ll make two, 8x 10 abstract paintings using the dirty pour/flip pour method. Finally, she will demonstrate how to finish your painting with an acrylic coating. This is a fun and easy class and is great for experimenting with color. For more information, or to register, visit the Purple Crayon website: www.purplecrayonavl.com/workshops.
