Experience the Joy of Creativity with Fun and Easy Acrylic Pour Fluid Art (Skillshare)

This class is the first in a series entitled "Experience the Joy of Creativity". Acrylic pour is an "artful play" technique of creating a colorful abstract canvas that is all the rage on Youtube. This relatively simple process allows you to relax and be a kid again. Connie McDonald is the art director at Paxson House Center for Creative Endeavors.

She has worked with a wide range of individuals who have had great success with this class. Literally anyone can do this.
In this class Connie will demonstrate two acrylic pour techniques. You will have the opportunity to create a finished canvas and tile using acrylic paint and special additives, which will be shared in the videos. You are encouraged to share your projects and questions along the way in the project gallery.
