What we cover on the day?
This workshop is ideal for beginners. Take your skills to a new level and learn the basic techniques of paint pouring. You will create unique and mesmerising fluid artwork. See the paint flow, blend, meander and form cells before your very eyes. I warn you, it’s a messy business but so much fun.
All materials will be provided and the canvases are yours to take home once they are dry. During this workshop, you will learn to apply three different pouring techniques onto small artist canvases:
- A dirty pour — to create colourful free-flowing artwork
- A tree ring pour — to create alternating rings of colour
- A Dutch pour — pouring a background base colour, with a colourful band across and blown out using a hairdryer.
You will be using products from the Fusion Mineral Paint range which include: Mineral Paint, Metallic Paint, Pouring Resin, and Cell Enhancer.
You will learn how to select your colour combinations for best effect and contrast.
At the end you can sit back and admire your artistic creations and I will discuss how you can apply these very same techniques to a piece of furniture making your work really stand out from the crowd.
Please note that your canvases will not be dry enough for you to take away on the day, but they will be ready for you to collect the following week.
