Pour Painting

Unleash your creativity in this fun, hands-on acrylic pour painting class! Perfect for beginners and art enthusiasts alike, this class focuses on the cup pour technique—where vibrant acrylic paints are layered in a cup and poured onto canvas to create mesmerizing swirls, cells, and color blends.

Our instructor will guide you step-by-step through color selection, paint mixing, and pouring methods so you can craft your own one-of-a-kind abstract masterpiece. You’ll explore how to control (and sometimes let go of control!) as colors flow and interact, revealing stunning organic patterns.

All materials are provided—including paints, cups, a 12” x 12” canvas, and protective gear. Just bring your imagination and wear something you don’t mind getting a little paint on!
