Acrylic Paint Pour
Monday, June 19
Paint pour is a method that, instead of using a brush to apply the paint, you pour the paint to create a flowing design. You will create a 10”x 10” poured painting using colors of your choice. This is a freeform painting process and each person’s creation will be unique. Check out this technique on YouTube! NOTE: The pictures shown on the Northview Senior Center website are "samples" only.
About the Instructor: Theresa, owner of Pour-d Studio in Rockford will be teaching this class. Pour-d Studio is an immersive experience, a place to gather and explore your creativity.
