This fluid art technique is called a ‘Pearl Pour’ due to the unique pearl shapes that form when two layers of thin paint interact, especially when the special ingredient of Satin Enamel is added. The pearls can be big or small, variations based on the type of paint and the paint consistency.  In this class we will focus on the style using Satin enamel paint, that gives very different shapes, the style is influenced by Sarah Taylor. You can choose the classic white base or go for a multi colour base.  After some paint play and practice on a small canvas, you will create your masterpiece on a 12 x16 inch (30 x 40cm) or similar gallery wrapped canvas which you can collect after 3 days drying time (or arrange to have sent to you). All instruction, support and materials are supplied. A handout will be emailed after the class. You will learn:

• How to prepare your canvas
• How to mix paints and paint mediums suitable for this technique
• Which recipes are good for this technique and what difference this makes.
• How to choose colours and layer your paints in the cup and pour on the canvas.
• How to create beautiful ‘pearls’ and effects in your art

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.

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.

This class uses some higher quality (more expensive) paints and pouring mediums to optimise the effects and get good results, so the price is slightly higher than the standard class.
