Fluid Acrylic Workshop - SheleeArt Technique | Blooms | June

This is a must-take workshop for all Sheleeart Style enthusiasts!

The workshop is ideal for beginners, but also if you’ve had a go at the technique and have been struggling with finding the right consistency, ingredients or blow technique, then this is the class for you! Classes are kept to max. 8 persons and I’ll be working alongside you; helping were needed over the course of the approximate 3-hour workshop.

Fair warning – there is a bit of information overload here as there are many factors at play in creating the perfect bloom, but I will guide you step-by-step to help you to achieve the consistent results you have been searching for. And yes, carefully prepared notes with all the information will be available to you.

Each participant will create 3 (20x20cm) canvasses and one larger (35x35cm) canvas – ideal for practicing multiple blooms and learning which paint and colours give the best effect, as well as the best way to blow to obtain amazing cells.

All art materials, tools and instruction sheets will be provided.

Learn proper techniques and how to use tools, paint and mediums to achieve a successful bloom full of dimension and cells. Learn how to create your paint ‘pillow’ and two pouring medium recipes that works with both paints and pigments. Learn the correct way to ‘surf’ the cell activator over the colours with a natural blow, but also by using various tools.

So, get your blow on …. It’s time to Bloom!

You will get close to your art— for those with long hair it is recommended to have a ponytail and/or headband to keep your hair out of your creation.   I recommend you wear comfortable clothes and please bring your own apron or painting shirt. Gloves are provided.

The art work that you’ve created during the workshop will be yours to take home – however, this will NOT BE DIRECTLY after the class as your artwork will still be wet and cannot be transported.

Your finished canvases require a drying period of min. 4 days and will need to be collected after this time from the venue – Vend Market Place. Shipping can be arranged at an additional $25.00

Please Note:

The workshop area at VEND Market Place is located to the right as you enter through the restaurant and only accessible via a stair case.
