This fluid art technique is called a RING POUR where we layer the paint in a cup and pour it onto the canvas in a circular motion, creating galaxy’s of colour and great effects. You can try a straight ring pour, and if you like, a special ‘split cup’ ring pour for even more dramatic effects.

After some demonstrations and explanation, you will practice on a small canvas and then create a painting on a 12 x16 inch (30x40cm) gallery wrapped canvas which you can collect after 3 or 4 days drying time (or arrange to have sent to you). All instruction, support and materials are supplied.

You will learn:

• How to prepare your canvas
• How to mix paints and paint mediums suitable for this technique
• Pouring mediums and recipes that are good for this technique and what difference this makes.
• How to choose colours and layer your paints in the cup.
• How to create a split cup.
• How to pour a ring pour painting and how to create effects by modifying your pouring technique.

All supplies provided including canvases, paint, pouring medium, cups, gloves, apron and tools. We provide plenty of space, with a maximum of 8 participants.

Light refreshments (tea, coffee) provided. This is a ‘Paint and Sip’ event, so you are welcome to BYO drinks and nibbles. We provide glasses and plates.

We use acrylic paint that is non-toxic. Remember to wear old clothes as it can be a messy business, and whilst the paint and mediums will wash out if you get to it quickly, that is not always easy to do.
