Do you want to create your own original artwork? How about an abstract work? Poured paint? You’ve seen the many Youtube videos of pouring, swiping, cups of paint being stirred, but you’re not sure where to start, and want to understand how it will work for you.

In this class, I will teach you the basics of creating an abstract artwork in your style. You’ll pour acrylic on canvas or a panel and create your own compositions. I emphasize your individuality and choices. This class will take you through the process from idea to producing a finished piece of artwork, in your colors and style.

This is a fun way to create art and can be done in a small space. I break the process down into small steps to allow you to understand, play and learn as you go. It's not intimidating as there is not one answer and no right or wrong - just what you create!

This class is for everyone - if you've never painted before it's a great way to start as there are no lines to draw or colors to fill in. If you have used other art forms this will transition you to pouring techniques as another way of expressing yourself. It is introductory and covers the steps at a high level, allowing you the freedom to work in your own style.
