THE TECHNIQUES

Flip Cup and Swipe — Two Ways to Pour

The class demonstrates two fluid-art methods — the flip-cup technique for immediate, unexpected patterns and a swipe method that produces different cells and color movement — giving students two approaches to experiment with on 8x10 canvases.

THE PROCESS

Therapeutic, Playful, and Immediate

Pouring acrylics is presented as both a playful and therapeutic exercise: the workshop frames the medium as accessible to any skill level and emphasizes creative exploration over technique perfection.

THE TAKEAWAYS

Two Completed Canvases and All Materials Provided

Participants leave with two unique 8x10 abstract paintings and the session supplies everything needed — canvases, paints, and PPE —so you can walk out with a ready-to-display Maui-inspired keepsake.
