Multi-Canvas Pour Painting
Adult Classes | Available
This class explores how to expand your paint pouring practice from a single canvas to multi-panel works, including diptychs and triptychs. Through live demonstrations, you’ll learn how to successfully pour across canvases while maintaining balance and cohesion between each panel. We’ll experiment with a variety of pouring techniques and discuss how to combine them effectively to build more complex, unified compositions. Prior pouring experience is required, as you’ll be working across multiple surfaces simultaneously. In addition, the class will emphasize thoughtful color selection and the development of a cohesive theme, helping your individual panels connect visually and function together as a complete work of art.
