Ever wondered how artists create those mesmerizing, fluid acrylic pour paintings? This beginner-friendly class is the perfect place to start your journey. Nicole - an experienced acrylic pouring artist - is here to guide you through the fundamentals so you can confidently create your own eye-catching artwork.

In this class, you’ll learn the essential building blocks of acrylic pouring, including a simple introduction to color theory and how the color wheel influences your results. You’ll discover which color combinations work beautifully together, which ones can turn muddy, and how cool tones can be especially striking when paired with the right pour techniques.

We’ll focus on three foundational methods, all demonstrated with gorgeous cool-color palettes:

• Dirty Pour – Learn how to layer and pour paints to create flowing, organic patterns.

• Flip Cup – A fun, dramatic technique that produces bold, unexpected designs.

• Swipe – Nicole’s personal favorite, ideal for creating soft transitions, cells, and dynamic movement across your canvas.

Throughout the class, Nicole emphasizes not just the final artwork, but the creative experience itself - the relaxation, flow, and sense of play that acrylic pouring brings. The finished paintings are almost always beautiful, but the real magic is how the process makes you feel.

If you’ve been captivated by acrylic pours and want a welcoming place to begin, this class is the perfect first step.

For students with prior experience, Nicole’s follow-up class, “Turning Up the Heat,” dives deeper into advanced techniques like using silicone oil, strainers, and heat guns to elevate the swipe technique even further.

Whether you're seeking a new creative hobby or dreaming of making a statement piece for your walls, you’re in the right place - let’s begin your acrylic pouring journey together!
