About this course

This beginner course teaches acrylic pouring as a controllable craft rather than a lucky accident. You will dial in paint-to-medium ratios by paint body, understand the density and surface-tension physics that make cells form, and work through the three core techniques, dirty pour, swipe, and ring pour, with named tools, brands, and measured recipes. By the end you can produce cells on demand, avoid the common failures of crazing, muddy colour, and delamination, and finish a canvas with a varnish or resin coat that protects it for years.
