Winter is upon us and the new year is soon approaching. To escape the tediousness of being at home, here are a few things in the Broomfield area for folks to do.

Dec. 30

Beginning Acrylic Paint Pouring

2:30-5 p.m. and 6-8 p.m.

160 Flint Way, Broomfield

$45 per ticket

No previous experience needed. No artistic talent needed! Acrylic pouring is fun and easy. Free flowing acrylic paint is poured using different techniques onto a canvas to create one-of-a-kind abstract paintings. We will experiment with the Dirty Pour, Flip Cup, Puddle Pour, and more. Class time should allow you to complete one 8x8” canvas and two 10”x10” canvases (or similar size). Following the class, the canvases will require 24- 48 hours of drying time so they will need to be picked up a few days later. Arrangements can be made if you would prefer to pick them up at pARTiculars Gallery.

Bring to class: All materials provided except you may want to wear old clothing.
