Arrive, Relax and Settle In
Step into our vibrant art-filled studio and receive a warm welcome from your expert tutor.
Everything is ready for you: canvas, paints, mediums and tools. Just arrive and get comfortable. Enjoy a drink, pop on your apron and gloves, and get your canvases ready.
Watch the Cells Appear (with No Oil)
Your tutor will demonstrate the first of three styles of fluid art - the 'Swipe' and talk you through different options. Practice swiping on a shared canvas and experience the magic first hand!
Then it is your turn to create your own 'swipe' designs, using paint already mixed and ready.
Prepare Your Paints
Choose four colours from a wide range of acrylic paints available and learn to mix them to the right consistency, with the right ingredients for your next two paintings.
Observe the Patterns
After your tutor demonstates the 'ring pour' technique and how to create great patterns in your art; you will layer a cup with the coloured paint mixes you have made and have fun pouring the paint onto the canvas in a circular pattern. You wont believe the results.
Master the Cells
After a break for some well deserved refreshments, you will add a few drops of silicone oil to the remaining paint and then layer it in three cups. Learn to do a 'flip cup', and watch the cells emerge with rings of colour. Your tutor will help you use heat to bring out more cells if you wish, before and/or after you move the paint to cover the canvas.
Step Back and Admire
Pause, reflect and share the experience with others.
Admire the three very different styles of fluid art and the beauty you have created.
Stay Inspired After Class
You’ll receive a follow-up email and handouts with instructions and information about each of the three styles, along with easy instructions for collecting your artwork once it’s dry.
The learning doesn’t stop when the class ends.
Take Home Your Finished Artwork
Once fully dry (it usually takes 2-3 days), return to collect your art - or arrange postage if needed.
Take home not just three paintings, but a reminder of your creativity and what you are capable of.
- Swipe – where you move thin paint over other paint to create unique small cells and lacing.
- Ring Pour – where you layer paint in a cup and pour onto the canvas in a circular motion, creating amazing lines and effects.
- Cells with silicone oil – where added silicone oil into the paint, which is layered in a cup and then ‘flipped’, creates cells with rings of colour.
- How to prepare your canvas
- How to mix paints and paint mediums suitable for these techniques
- Pouring mediums and recipes that are good for these techniques and what difference this makes
- How to choose colours and layer your paints in the cup
- How to do a 'flip cup' and tilt the canvas for the best effect
- How to do a 'swipe', bringing an abundance of small cells
- How to clean your dried painting of silicone oil ready for varnishing
