In this class you will learn how easy it is to do a Dutch Pour Painting and how fun it is! We will be painting in acrylic paints creating free flowing Irises, we will use a blow dryer to move paint around on the canvas to make it look like abstract Irises that will totally amaze you!

Prep your work space and materials before you start
have all paints premixed and ready to use
have plenty of paper towel make sure to wear vinyl gloves for easy hand clean up

Try and use different color combinations that you like and you can try blowing out different shapes and sizes of flowers using your blow dryer

Please share your unique paintings in the project gallery and and any tips or tricks you may have learned!

SUPPLY LIST WITH LINKS

You can use any acrylic paints you may already have or I like to use Artists loft paints & supplies from Michaels Arts & Crafts or Dickblick paints, some supplies can be purchased at the dollar store like table cloth, paper towels, mixture plastic bottles with lids, styrofoam plates & vinyl gloves some links provided below:

Colored Acrylic Paint
White paint
Floetrol
24x36 canvas

Paper Towels
Plastic disposable table cloth or wax paper

16 oz. solo cup for white paint mixture

Apron or old t-shirt (Optional)

I do recommend putting a drop cloth on floor to protect floor from a spill.

Background Paint mixture: white paint mixture = 1 part white paint: 2 parts Floetrol : 30% water

Directions: 1 cup white paint Artist's loft Flow Acrylic White 2 cups Floetrol to 30% water stirred up very well or shaken in a closed container.

Colored Paint mixture: 80 grams of floetrol: 40 grams of color paint: 30 grams water

Lay down plastic table cloth on work surface and place canvas corners on top of 4 solo cups inverted to lift canvas from table so that paint can drip down sides of canvas onto plastic table cloth or wax paper to be trashed when dry and finished usually in 3 days. Varnish let dry 2 days then you are ready to hang it up on the wall and enjoy your masterpiece!
