Summer is here!  Experiment & Explore - take home your own abstract artwork. Let loose and let the magic of liquid paint take you on a journey of happy accidents with color and texture.

Acrylic pouring is a fascinating, abstract art technique where liquified paint is poured into each other onto a surface. Learn various ways of pouring different colors on top of each other. Depending on the choice of paints, medium and the additives, different effects are created.

A variety of techniques will be taught in this class to demonstrate the different effects that can be attained.
