*Please be aware that the location for this class has changed. This class will now run out of the Merrymeeting Arts Center Studio in Bowdoinham. This is the address: 9 Main St, Bowdoinham, ME 04008.

This class is designed for beginners. We shall explore the “Dirty Flip-cup Pour” and “Dutch Pour”. While it is not important to have fine drawing or painting skills for this class, we will discuss composition and color theory. This class is not one of control, but rather letting go. If you love color and texture you will enjoy this class. There are lots of resources to provide tons of ideas…dragging a metal chain (like used to turn a light on and off), or a feather through the paint makes an interesting mark, for instance. You can find demos of this on YouTube. Just Google “Acrylic Pour.” There are some artists that are better than others. I find a lot of demo videos are interesting, but because the artist does not have a good sense of color or composition, they can come out bland or garish. Class is 3 sessions. Materials list will be provided upon registration.
