Intermediate Fluid Acrylic Painting Class
Now that you’ve been introduced to the magic of fluid acrylic in the beginner class, discover new techniques, specialized tools, and additives to influence your design. With your new skills you can start thinking creatively about other substrates to paint on – wood, stone, glass, tile... the possibilities are mind-blowing! You could even capture your finished painting digitally and print it on fabric in the future, right at Ripples Studio!
The class will start with some information and a demonstration of two new techniques that can be practiced, (in addition to the three presented in the beginner class). This class will introduce the “Tree Ring” and “Open Cup Pour” techniques. Students will have a wider selection of paints to choose from, including metallics, which they will mix themselves, then use a variety of tools and additives to create their own freeform painting. Wear your play clothes or borrow a smock; invite family or friends, and bring a camera to capture the creation of your painting to share the fun experience! This class can be repeated many times to experiment with different color combinations and techniques, getting a totally different result each time.
Reserved and scheduled by the group, with a minimum of 4 and maximum of 12 participants per group. The class date and time is scheduled after purchase, with availability on weekdays, afternoons and weekends. Plan ahead to reserve your spot!
