Pour painting is an innovative way to use acrylic paint to create an art piece. In this class you will learn the process of mixing acrylic paints with other materials to give it a more fluid consistency so that it can be poured directly onto a canvas. We will learn how to manipulate the paint to create a beautiful Cherry Blossom Tree. An 8 x 10 canvas and all the supplies for the pour are included. Please bring a box or tray to bring your canvas home in.
