Sip and Pour: An acrylic pour paint experience

All materials are included. You will create two unique 10 x 10 abstract pieces, you will be able to take your work home.

Acrylic pouring is a fun and creative painting technique where you mix acrylic paints with a pouring medium and then pour them onto a canvas or other surface. Instead of using brushes, you let the paint flow and interact naturally, creating unique, marbled, and abstract patterns.

How it works:

1. Mixing: Each color of acrylic paint is mixed with a pouring medium (and sometimes a bit of water) to make it more fluid and help it flow smoothly.
2. Layering: The different colors are layered in a cup or poured separately onto the canvas.
3. Pouring: The paint is poured onto the canvas in various ways—such as a “dirty pour” (all colors in one cup), “flip cup” (cup flipped onto the canvas), or “puddle pour” (individual puddles of color).
4. Tilting: The canvas is tilted and moved around to let the paint spread and create interesting patterns.
5. Drying: The painting is left to dry flat, which can take several hours to a day.

Key features:

• No two pours are ever the same—each piece is unique!
• You can create “cells” (bubble-like patterns) by adding silicone oil or torching the surface.
• It’s a great technique for beginners and experienced artists alike.
