About this event

Workshops

This 60-Minute workshop focuses on the Ring Pour, one of the most mesmerizing and foundational techniques in fluid art. Students will learn the “layered cup” process to create organic, wood-grain patterns. To add a personal touch, we will also demonstrate how to “wreck” the pour—using tools to disrupt the rings and create intricate, feathered designs and unique movement within the piece. What You’ll Learn: ●       The Layered Pour: How to stack paint colors to ensure distinct rings without mixing. ●       The Ring Technique: Mastering the steady, circular motion used to deposit paint onto the canvas. ●       Creative Modification: Using “wrecking” tools to customize the final design. Materials: –          All- inclusive; Instructors provide all canvases, Floetrol, premium paints, and tools. –          Gloves and aprons will also be provided for protection of skin and clothing. Participants should wear comfortable clothing & shoes they don’t mind getting a little paint on. Please Note, Canvases require a level 24-hour dry time; They will have to be left, to stay level while drying. Please plan on leaving your artwork to dry and to return to pick it up, up to a week or (max) two weeks later. Any artwork that remains at ClearWater more than 4 weeks out from the workshop, will be considered to be abandoned and may be discarded. Min 6   Max 15
