The last painting swap was another success! We’re excited to organize another for November!

November 2019 swap details:

WHAT/SIZE: Every participant will make, send and receive a small painting as part of the swap.  We suggest commonly available canvas sizes such as 8 x 10 inch or 10 x 10 inches, on a stretched canvas.  The style is makers choice and can be anything that displays your creative point of view, but it should be an acrylic pouring style painting. It is encouraged that you take your swap partner’s preferences into account if they have given colors that they like or don’t like.

WHEN: Sign Ups start NOW and will close on October 31, 2019

WHERE: Everywhere! This swap is open to everyone. Each participant will be paired with a partner in their general area to keep shipping costs low. For those not in the US, we will do our best to match you with a painter in your own country. If you are willing to ship internationally you can say so when you sign up.

WHO: All acrylic pour painters are welcome! Please remember when joining any swap, your partner may have a different skill level. We offer helpful hints, technique-based tutorials, and videos to help you succeed. Because of our community atmosphere, you are able to get help and ask questions along the way via the Facebook group.

Price: $5 per SWAP. 

CLICK HERE TO ENTER.

And here’s how it will work:

The Nobember Swap is open for sign ups until October 31st, 2019.  Once signed up you will be directed to a quick questionnaire to help us pair you with the perfect painting buddy.  Then it’s time for us to get to work partnering you with the perfect swap partner. After the swap, each participant is invited to share what they have received/exchanged on our community page for all to enjoy.

While waiting for your swap partners information, you can start to gather your materials and consider the style of painting you will make for your partner.  Swap partner information will be emailed by November 3rd, 2019. It is encouraged that you reach out to your partner after receiving their information to find out more “fun facts” about them.

All paintings are to be mailed by November 30th 2019.

Remember to take pride in your work by doing your best work, and finishing and presenting your painting nicely. Also, please think about how the person receiving this special package will feel when opening. Including a small treat or a notecard, is totally encouraged and will be much appreciated by your partner!

Why should you be part of the painting swap?

Who doesn’t love a handmade gift?! By joining the Swap, you will not only be exchanging paintings but you will be partnered with a painting buddy that shares your passion, understands your need for more paint and the joys of creating with color. Basically, someone who “get’s it”!

We welcome you to join our Facebook group where you can upload pictures, ask questions and meet other members, you can also share your work over on Instagram- we’ll be using the hashtag #pouringblog. You can follow us on Instagram here.

    I never received a painting from my partner last year so I won’t be doing it again this year. Not a good taste since it was my first swap.

    1. Hi, I didn’t participate in this swap, but I have in many others for jewelry and metalsmith. I’ve been then in your place, but I have to say that like anything else, you run into people that for some reason that they don’t share, will drop the ball and walk away. Let the people that are in charge know so they won’t use that person again and try again. It is a lot of fun and I made some really good friends over a period on swaps that I am blessed to have in my life. You won’t regret it!
