    FLUID FLOWERS: ACRYLIC POUR PAINTING WORKSHOP WITH FRANCIS TRICK

    Discover the colorful and unpredictable process of acrylic pouring in this hands-on workshop with artist Francis Trick.

    Participants will explore fluid acrylic painting techniques while creating a floral-inspired painting on canvas. Francis will guide participants through the pouring process, demonstrating how fluid paint can be manipulated to create movement, layers of color, and flower-like forms.

    Whether you’re new to acrylic pouring or looking for a fun way to experiment with paint, this workshop offers an opportunity to explore the process and create a unique work of art. No prior painting experience is necessary.

    All materials are provided. Participants should bring an apron or wear clothing they don’t mind getting paint on.

    Because acrylic pour paintings require additional drying time, finished artwork will remain at the Dayton Society of Artists after the workshop. Participants may pick up their finished artwork during the designated pickup times listed below.
