Acrylic Pouring for the Intermediate and Advanced
Once you hit a certain level you’ll want to move beyond the basics. Now you’re starting to develop your own style and experimenting as well as learning from other artists.
Although most courses available are focused on beginners, we do recommend one course for more experienced pourers and that’s Mastering Fluid Acrylic: Foundation Techniques. This course is for those looking to solidify their foundation in acrylic pouring. It covers in depth mixing techniques and paint and medium properties that make a huge difference in how you approach the art. Artists who have been pouring for months, or even years will still find value in this course and there’s a 30 day guarantee if you don’t.
