This week was my last class with Carla at Cathedral Art School & Studio. It has been such an incredible 8 weeks of learning and making. I have always been a lover of art so this ended up being a perfect fit for me to reconnect with that side of myself. If you are looking to explore your inner-maker, I highly recommend the mixed media classes.
Now onto my final project. We were each given a stretched canvas and three cups of pouring medium to tint with acrylic colours of our choosing. I picked a teal, a shimmery gold, and blended myself a coral. Then you just drizzle and swirl, adding more paint where and when you want. I have never been a fan of paint as a medium, but this is a project I would try again.
I would choose different colours next time but I love the way you can change the design by holding it a different way to let the paint run or by adding more colour. Less is usually more, but in the case of pour painting, more is more. All of these supplies can be acquired locally which is another thing I have appreciated about all of the works we have created. In the end, you get a unique high-gloss painting to adorn your walls. Give it a try!
​What colours would you choose?
