Posted on 29 January 2023 (0)

February is the month of love! Learn the techniques, tips and tricks of acrylic paint pouring just in time to make a beautiful painting for Valentine’s Day. You’ve probably seen those cool, swirly and colorful paintings online, and they’re not hard to make. Once you get the techniques down, you won’t want to stop.

Most materials are provided however, I ask that you bring three bottles of liquid acrylic paint (any brand except Apple Barrel) that you like or match your decor. Materials provided include: canvas, pouring medium/Floetrol, serum, gloves, canvas, white and black paint, pouring cups, stirrers, and paper towels. Very messy project so dress accordingly! Please note you will need to let your painting cure at the Gallery at least overnight. You can come back to the Gallery and pick it up during business hours Sunday or make an afternoon-evening appointment during the week.

All experience levels and ages welcome!
DETAILS: Saturday, February 4, 1pm-3pm.
Bottlebrush Gallery & Center for the Arts 539 Main Street Harmony, PA 16037

About the Artist:

Photographer, educator, engineer, and traveler Stu Chandler has carried a camera for over 50 years, mostly during his career as an electrical engineer. Until recently, he developed training centers and conferences throughout North and South America. Recently retired, he has turned his attention to photography fulltime.
