Creative Swipes (Paint and Sip)
Tonight’s fluid art technique is called a SWIPE. You will be taught a basic swipe as well as ‘reflection swipe’ something akin to reflection on a river. This is a great technique to see how the paint interacts as you create amazing cells without oil. Â
After some paint play and practice on a small canvas, you will create your masterpiece on a 30 x 40cm canvas (or similar) which you can collect after 3 days drying time (or arrange to have sent to you). All instruction, support and materials are supplied. Â
You will learn:Â
- How to prepare your canvas Â
- How to mix paints and paint mediums suitable for this techniqueÂ
- Which recipes are good for this technique and the difference this makesÂ
- How to choose colours and lay your paints on the canvas Â
- How to swipe (pull paint over other paint) to create lacing and cellsÂ
All supplies provided including canvases, paint, pouring medium, cups, gloves, apron and tools. We provide plenty of space, with a maximum of 8 participants.Â
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.Â
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.Â
Do not attend the class if you have or are a close primary contact of anyone with COVID-19, or if you are experiencing fever, chills or sweat, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, runny nose of have a loss of taste or smell. (A full refund will be provided if you are unwell).Â
