Acrylic Pour Painting: An Introduction
with Sandi Cirillo, RSU 24 Adult Education
Learn this fluid art technique using acrylics and a canvas. We don't use paint brushes, rather the paint is poured onto a canvas and spread by moving the canvas around. The fluid paint will blend the colors and create unique patterns on the canvas. Abstraction is the key here. Even if you've never worked with this technique before, everyone can be successful in expressing their inner creativity in a gorgeous finished product.
Students should wear old clothes, bring an old towel and a materials fee of $20 (payable to the instructor at class).
