More fun with pours

Yesterday was the second workshop for the Rings and balloons acrylic pours. It was so much fun that I had a hard time stopping. Well once I have everything out for it I might as well keep playing and experimenting right?!!
You can see by my students result what a great group they were and an inspiration to keep playing.

New Acrylic Pours workshop

If you've done Acrylic Pours then you know that is is quite addictive. I started out doing dirty pours and thought I would never get tired of them but alas I did to some extent. I still enjoy seeing the result when you flip the dirty pour cup but I've started doing a lot more exploring with it and other techniques. And through this exploring I discovered ring pours and fun with balloons. That is what my last workshop the other day was all about. It was so much fun. Just take a look at all the variations that my students created.

If you haven't tried pours before this is a great place to start and if you have done some this is a great exploration workshop. The next one is coming up Saturday June 22.

Happy Creating!

Variations of Acrylic Pours

Dirty pour and balloons.

  
 A few years ago a friend convinced me to try acrylic pouring. It took a little convincing because I didn't think it was something I wanted to do. It was just too trendy...everyone was doing it. I usually prefer to try things that no-one has seen before and try to do my own take on it. I didn't think acrylic pouring was something I could experiment and make into my own style.
   As you can guess she talked me into it. Our first attempt was fun but not what I would call successful. After doing some more research and some help from a fellow artist we were off and runner. And I have to say somewhat addicted. If you've done some acrylic pours you already know, you can't do just one.

Rings and balloons.

   After doing a multitude of dirty pours and teaching a number of workshops with it, I started to try some other techniques. First was the Swipe and with it the wave and layers. This became my second Acrylic Pours workshop. 

Rings with cloud effect.

   This past month I gave myself a few days to do some more experimenting with a variety of pour methods. All the images here are from those 3 playful, experimenting days.

Tree rings.

   Some of the methods that I tried and had success with were tree rings, cloud effect and balloons.

Swipes and balloons.

   I have a little more experimenting to do and then I will be sharing these methods in a new upcoming workshop. If you've done some pouring or are a newbie, this workshop promises to be a fun one.

   I will keep you posted when the date is set for it.

Keep creating!
