Are you ready to embark on a journey of creativity? Join us for an exhilarating acrylic pour workshop in Santa Clara, that will not only spark connection but also ignite your artistic passions. It is designed to help you create memories that will last a lifetime.
In the workshop, you will dive into the world of acrylic pour techniques, where every tilt and swirl on your canvas tells a unique story. In just one lesson, you will transform into a proud creator of stunning acrylic pour paintings!
Our expert instructor Nalini will guide you through two distinct acrylic pour techniques, ensuring that your creations are as unique as you! Whether you're a seasoned artist or a complete beginner, this workshop is crafted for everyone to enjoy and make some new friends.
Techniques included:
  • Flip Cup Technique: This is a popular acrylic pouring technique where paint is poured onto a canvas or surface, and then a cup is placed over the paint. You will quickly flip the cup and canvas together so that the cup is upside down on the canvas. This creates a controlled pour of paint onto the canvas. The cup is then lifted, allowing the paint to flow and spread in interesting patterns. You can then manipulate the paint by tilting the canvas to create desired effects.
  • Dutch Pour: In this technique, paint is poured onto a canvas or surface, and then manipulated using a straw, hairdryer, or similar tool to spread the paint across the canvas. You will start by pouring a base coat of paint onto the canvas, then add additional colors on top. As the artist blows air over the surface of the paint, the paint spreads and creates intricate patterns. The technique allows for a great deal of control over the final appearance of the painting, as the artist can manipulate the direction and intensity of the airflow to achieve desired effects.
So, come join us for a meditative experience while sipping some coffee/tea. Spaces are limited, so secure your spots now!

Recent reviews of Acrylic Pour Painting Workshop

  • 5/5 from Kim Aldridge, attended May 2026: Small class Hands-On great teacher very fun. Went home with two completed paintings.
  • 5/5 from Jeffrey Hudson, attended Feb 2026: Fun class with great instruction, so good we ended up with great pieces to take home.
  • 5/5 from Melissa Cruz, attended Feb 2026: Really fun!
  • 1/5 from Rachel Roth, attended Nov 2025: Instructor showed up late. She didn't have enough paint prepared for the activities, not enough color variety, and didn't let my mother in law even do her own piece on her own. She was in a hurry to get done. She never explained the techniques or possible ways to do things to make it unique. It was very disappointing and I felt like it was a waste of money.
  • 5/5 from Ana de La Vega, attended May 2025: My teacher was good explaining the 2 different techniques to pour the paint into the canvas
  • 5/5 from Mark Depristo, attended Apr 2025: Super fun and educational!
  • 5/5 from Shari Russo, attended Feb 2025: I had a great time during the class and enjoyed learning all the techniques. Nalini's explanation and in particular, how to mix/dilute paint and add oil was especially helpful if we want to do at home. I certainly will be trying at home. My only issue was getting the wet artwork home. There should a box/cardboard top or something provided to insure the pieces get home without messing up your car. Thanks for the class. Looking forward to taking more classes!
  • 5/5 from Carla Evans, attended Aug 2024: I truly enjoyed the Acrylic Pouring course. It was fun and well taught. I have been wanting to do some acrylic pouring, and this class gave me the confidence to begin on my own. I liked that she taught us the medium mixing too.
